EFX Millenium Falcon

[TonTon]

So judging by that pic, we're about 4-6 years away from "a slight delay" email being sent out. Right on track.

Next update will be about how how all the Falcons got caught in a tractor beam and went back to the factory.

More delays will come soon for sure. A couple examples of EFX reasons for delay:

 

[DarthRusty]

From the safe place the factory is storing the finished pieces,



I think an obvious excuse will be "a careless forklift driver drove over all the Falcons".

 

[jkno]

There was a flood.
There was a fire.
There was a band/flock/herd of horses/elephants/monkeys/mice that run over them.

Im still surprised people actually pre order from that company

 

[Mandible]

I'm more surprised they're still in business?!

Worst run company on the face of the planet!

I have stated my frustration with EFX many, many times. Typically it's the outright lies about release dates but the other thing that really bothers me about this piece is that it basically hasn't changed since they first showed it in 2009, and at that time they stated that they were excited to offer this because it was going to be an affordable way for collectors to have an awesome Falcon. They said it would be between $200-$250, and to be honest, really look at it, that's about all it's worth.
But being the whores they are they have jacked up the price more then double on a piece that IMO does NOT look like a $600 collectible.
This is a very easy pass for me, mainly because it's EFX but also because at that price it's just not all that great.

I'm feeling the same way at the moment, but I would still like to see the final production model.
$600 is a lot for this Falcon and it's only 13.5" x 11". This needs to be very good at that price.

Guys, it's actually happening! (not my pics btw)

The person who has this in-hand said this about it: "it’s small but it’s awesome! And the paint is very good diecast heavy with a crazy light up!" He also measured it and it's 19 inches. That's pretty much my ideal size, so I think I'll be picking one of these up eventually.

The EFX guy at NYCC told me they were shipping this week.

 

[ambasah]

someone pinch me!

I have the code 3 and the MR so not so sure I will grab this. Maybe if a deal surfaces.

Wasn't it supposed to have an asteroid base or am I out to lunch?

 

[Darth Waller]

Early on they showed it with an asteroid base, but somewhere it changed to a mirror base.

It did originally have an asteroid base, but they changed it to the mirrored base sometime last year. The more I look at the pics the more I want it. I never went for the MR because although it's incredible I didn't want something quite that big. I think this one would be perfect for me.

Edit: Doh, didn't see that I was ninja'd.

Not sure about this.. when I see how detailed and crisp the Bandai Kit is... that kind of is not comparable ... also the base I dont like at all.

Anyone know if the Bandai Kit is larger then this?

The Bandai says it's 1/72 scale and the EFX says 1/100 scale, but I think they are actually roughly the same size.

Edit: Yeah, I just found this on a site for the Bandai "It will measure about 19 inches when built", which is the same size as the EFX.

 

[DarthRusty]

IF I were to order this, it would NOT be through eFX.

 

[Centurion]

Those pics look good.
Getting tempted.

The EFX Falcon is about 13 inches long which is much smaller than the Bandai Perfect Grade 1/72 at around 19 inches long.

There's no point in comparing them though, they're very different beasts.

The person who has the EFX in hand measured it and said it's 48cm, which is 19 inches.
