I am sorry if this has already been posted...I looked around, and didn't see it.

Any, I was browsing Gizmodo and saw a link to a video detailing their new Millennium Falcon that they are going to be launching. It is supposedly 30% larger with two different rooms, sounds from the movies, comes with Han Solo and Chewi, has trap doors, and other abilities. I think this is awesome. I use to have (probably still have it somewhere) a Millennium Falcon that was pretty large that I love. I may just have to pick this up. grin

I know a couple of Star Wars collecting sites have been keeping up with this one since back when the rumor began.

I can't believe it holds 18 figures! Wow. And it has a med-bay! Now I can re-enact the "Ben... why didn't you tell me!?" scene from 'Empire'.

I just wonder how much this behemoth is gonna cost? I may have to pay 2,000 now then 15,000 when we reach Alderaan tongue .

my guess is about 40% more than previous ones.
Not sure what those ran... $60? So figure probablly $85-95.

www.rebelscum.com is your friend, as is galactichunter tongue

retail will be $150, runs on 3 AA batteries(at least it has an on/off switch, in addition to the other 12 buttons), and comes with Early Bird Chewie and Han Solo with headset from last year's 30AC line.

Nice! I noticed they didn't print "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy" on the box! Doesn't really lend itself well to a $150 purchase.

Ouch.
I think I'll stick with the $500 Lego Millenium Falcon and let that do.

I'm glad this is too expensive for two of my nephews to want. Whoa, $150!

New pics of it from someone who bought it last week. The size compared to the original Falcon is amazing:

Thanks for the link. Wow, the difference is absolutely stunning. Like comparing an Ewok to a Wookiee.

You bet I could! I'm not such a bad pilot my...

I still haven't seen the BMF yet. I did come across the 'Battle Rancor' or whatever it's called. I'm going to wait until it's re-released in it's ROTJ form, without all that blue mung on it.

Still can't decide if I'm going to plunk down 150 deceased founding fathers for the BMF or not. I'll have to wait until the moment of truth in the toy aisle.
