Is that the rumour? For the 6'' figures I take it?
It’s been confirmed to be for the vintage collection 3 3/4” scale. Nothing known beyond that though. Likely will launch at Hascon.
Just ordered the new Falcon from Forbiddenplanet.com. Totally forgot I had an account there, haven't thought of using them in years but someone on Rebelscum posted that he'd just received his from them. I go to the site, try my email address and reset password and sure enough when I log in I see a huge list of old orders, 2013 being the last time.
Anyway, hope it goes well.
Really? So presumably an accurate scale to the figures for the first time ever? Interesting.
How far off do you think the vintage XW is.
Sized more for a 2-3 inch.
Unboxed the Millenium Falcon and wasn't quite as blown away as everyone else seems to be. I could live without all of the projectile weapons it can fire, and it seems like an odd choice given the $400 price tag. It seems aimed at collectors with some hold-over toy features.
The weathering is great, the sound effects (though ridiculously loud) are cool, and I love the light-up feature for the sub-light drives. As much as I'd love to relive my childhood by running round the house with this thing it's just too damn big. The ramp lowering, lighting, and sound effects are all great as well.
I'm not a fan of how the landing gear is attached rather than retracting. You can really only display it with or without the feet, it's not seamless to switch between the too. Like others have said, the cockpit lid doesn't sit flush with the base and there are visible gaps. The cockpit lid also tends to detach when trying to open it. The living spaces are too under-scaled to really work with the figures.
I could honestly live with the issues if it wasn't $400. The price tag is just too steep for what you get, in my opinion.
That would be a ridiculous waste of a Haslab project if you ask me.
I get the impression you didn't previously own the original BMF. Your disappointments seem to apply to the original vehicle as opposed to this release specifically. I'm slightly worried about what you say about the cockpit lid not closing properly as I saw someone on Rebelscum post pictures of that - the original didn't have this problem. I hope it's not a widespread issue as I hate gaps in spaceship hulls
The Tonnika sisters? Yeah I'd agree.
If you mean the larger X-wing - hmm. Wouldn't have topped my list as the one we just got is very nice from a visual standpoint.
I actually think they should do a new Republic Gunship. The old one is cool but definitely too small. I'd hate to be the pilots in that thing - particularly the rear one - he can't even look out a window. So I wonder if they could do one big enough to serve as a dropship for the AT-TE with the appropriate modifications. That'd be huge and yet still underscaled because the AT-TE is underscaled (I assume)
Correct, I did not own the original. I?m fairly certain the cockpit issue is widespread as the design doesn?t have the canopy locking or snapping into place. It just kind of rests on top and is poorly aligned.
While I love the RGS I think I can live without it same for the ARC-170.
I have officially run out of space after the Falcon lol
^I presume the lightsaber effect is edited in later but do what about something like the glow the lightsaber is casting on Palpatine?
