The Mandalore Plot
[...]
I want that carded figure, but don't have space for that display. Seems a bit too barebones while taking up too much room as well.
Got my Falcon yesterday and could hardly be happier with it, so glad they released it internationally. This is the paint app we always needed but which, I assume, they couldn't budget in back when they first made it.
I know these pics are dark but flash completely washes out the paint detail

My nitpicks (and these are things I can easily live with)

There is a slight gap where the canopy doesn't quite close fully, as reported by others. And in the second pic (top down view of canopy) - there is some exposed clear plastic where the paint should have extended further back
Here's the same area on my old BMF

Oh, another nit - I think the weathering paint on one of the front outrigger portions is a tad fainter than the weathering on the other one.
That's it. All the lights and sounds seem to be in working order and it has all the sounds and voice clips that the original BMF had so I had no misgivings about disassembling the 2008 version and packing it away (I actually put it in the Smuggler's Run box since it was handy).
Despite old disappointments that remain - principally the lack of a usable corridor leading to the cockpit - this is the definitive Millenium Falcon Toy in existence today.
I'm gonna sell my carded troopers soon as i get mine in I think
With all the requisite figures - that you can finally display in a way that isn't ridiculously cramped like the POTJ playset - it shouldn't look barebones. What I'd be worried about is how unstable it might be on those legs. Seems like a minor nightmare if you have to constantly stand figures back up after they've fallen and knocked eachother over like dominos.

Happy it got made but honestly I'm just at a point where I mostly don't have interest in displaying the loose figures so the play sets aren't ideal for me. I've mainly been picking up the vehicles and carded figures.
