Found my MR Millenium Falcon. Thank you Freaks!!

[Rodders]

You can find it if you've got the money. Over the last week or so there have been three on Ebay. Trouble is, they're up for between $3000 and $5000 each.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

looking in the uk rod. I remmember when they where up for £799.99 on FP Site. doesnt matter

 

[Rodders]

Those days are long gone i'm afraid. I bought mine directly from MR at the time of release and including Tax and Shipping it worked out to cost £2396.00 all together. (there's one here for £2500. https://www.moss247.com/millenium-falcon-signed-edition-187-p.asp. Not cheap but...)

Los_Gringo_Loco said that there's a UK prop store that has two for sale, but i'll need to find out which one. Let me get back to you.

Geil, it looks like you have a bit of a Falcon focus going on their yourself. Any idea what next?

I am taking a bit of a break actually. Still buying HT figures but not unpacking any as I need to clean and reorganize my living room and finish my custom shelf, few cases and the coffee table. But one day when I have more time and skills I want to make a deep frame and recreate the scene where the MF is hiding latched on the star destroyer using one of my Finemolds That was always my favourite scene were the MF is not actually in action.
I love this table so much I already bought the Granas dining table (got lucky and got a real sweet deal for just the table frame from as-is) to convert in the future when I have more room, Actually I also got a second Granas coffee table as well in storage for future expansions so when I actually have a dedicated room in the far far future I can make a whole bunch of displays with all Granas frames
Yeah I went a little nutts but these are relatively cheap to snatch up used and I am still keeping an eye on these in the used market
I actually am gathering parts to modify my custom shelf to add shelf lights with aluminum frames that I snatched up from work... so much to do so little time ..... arghhhh still have to finish my custom Monitor mount with a new ergotron arm

thanks
thought it popped up on ebay but turns out someone was selling just the COA for $250

[Chaosorb]

That is the most ridiculous thing I've seen yet! Who in their right mind would pay $250 for a COA?!?!?

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

That's stupid. My coa ran me 60

 

[Geil]

say what??? why anyone buy COA separately?

 

[hobbitjedi]

I want to connect my falcon directly to a wall outlet and not thru the base.
Can anyone help me out with what kind of a cord or adapter that I need?
Thanks!

 

[icruise]

How are you displaying the falcon without the base?

 

[Geil]

If you have the base you really should use it. Thesis one heavy Mofo and you will just end up breaking stuff.
But i suspect you have your reasons and I have read (will link it if I find it again) that for testing the lights directly ppl used 3.5mm headphone jack and 9V block battery
My MF they actually lost and never included the adapter for the base so I used a universal one and i can look up the specs when I get home

:

 

[hobbitjedi]

I have very sturdy speaker stand that it is displayed on.
I always wanted it to look like it was "in flight" and it's kinda like it is right out of the ilm studio!
Try to post some pics later

 

[Geil]

Oh sweet!! Pic for sure!! You will need to find a tube/rod similar to the one of the base to fit the MF on securely


:

 

[hobbitjedi]

It came with an adapter sleeve that fits it perfectly! It is a tri-pod stand and can hold the Falcons weight!
I just have to figure out how to get the cord thru the stand and out on the floor to go into the wall.
Pics to come!
Thanks for the help!

 

[hobbitjedi]

Here you go!
The X-wing is on a floor table lamp base and the Falcon is on the speaker stand I got from Amazon.
Now I have to get the cords/power supply for both so that I can plug them directly into the wall outlet!
Thanks!

 

[Geil]

OMG that is soooo sweet!!!! Paint the wall black and you wont even notice the stand. This is nice!!! And the feathered poster right behind it everytime you walk past it you must be going phew phew phew

[icruise]

That's pretty cool but I would be too nervous to put my falcon on a tripod.

It looks great indeed. But have you considered some kind of cover for them? Dust could be a real pain in time...

 

[hobbitjedi]

Trust me, if it wasn't sturdy I'd never put the Falcon on it!
It can support more than the Falcon weighs and with the tri-pod that thing isn't going anywhere, I've tested it!
A case would just trap them I think, I like the look of them without being on a table top. I dust them off.
Painting the walls black would be cool! Maybe a starfield?!
