After doling out the coin for the BMF Legacy version, I don't know how I can condone another large box in a place that doesn't have any more room. Still, it does have Walkers on the box. They seem to be boxing this one a ton better than the Xwing verson.

Hasbro's research team reports that kids do not like articulated figures nor vehicles.    ;)

Seriously, the outer hull looks like it might be quite detailed, so a repaint could help this look amazing.  It just won't be me buying this sucker.

Nor do action figures of female characters sell. :-X

I agree.   If I wanted a sizable Falcon to hang from the ceiling with a couple of TIE Fighters behind it, this woild be the baby.  I wouldn't waste a BMF as a decoration.

I dont keep the boxes so it is ok, if it is hollow it would be a great hanger. My bmf was too heavy and has to be on its gear now, i guess it could get the white/blue paint job like the prequel

A great model for a custom conversion. The details are very well done (except the missing side walls  ???)

But with the help of a 3D printer and a complete new repaint, this toy could look like a studio scale model  ;)

Wouldn't it be cool to run a custom contest to see what different things folks could do with this?

I still think she has potential.

However, I do wonder why Hasbeen didn't just take out the lights and sound of their original 2 foot offering and cheepen' it up a little instead?????

If you can't put figures in it  so why buy it. That is what my kids are saying (girls/boys)

I don't even see the point. >:( These new rebel action figures are worthless. i will never pay 10 dollars for a plastic brick and i won't pay fifty  for a bigger hollow one.
My ebay  http://www.ebay.com/usr/zacha-mann?_trksid=p2047675.l2559   My collection and some new customs are there. Check it out

the sculpt is great, if it had landing gear i'd be in it for diorama fodder, maybe some loose parts on ebay from the last M. Falcon will do.

I will be interested to see what price point this goes for.

Anyone interested in a custom contest to fix the inside of this bad boy?

The only thing is a plus is that when you flip it over the roof will not fall out of place.

No doubt this a gamble on Hasbro's part to see if we will take a larger scale vehicle that doesn't fit action figures.

Probably the same research group that said kids don't like articulation was the same one that said this would work too.  ;)
