Re: Hasbro's rumored New Falcon!

I opened my BMF and put all the stickers on and went down at got some batteries....

My reaction, 'WOW!'

Toy of the year contender in my book. I mean, everthing on this is electronic - almost all switched and buttons; I mean, when sounds come on putting the minifighter in its compartment, that is truly impressive. Sound, lights everything sounds nice and loud.

The all look the same, HOWEVER, two of them have smaller pegs than the rest...make sure you have put the two smaller peged ones in the front row...

yea i was careful to match them up correctly. still a couple are just small or the part on the ship itself is spread to wide. its a pretty easy fix with some plumbers tape around the top of leg to tighten it up.

I got batteries for mine last night. This thing is so cool. Even though it has the oversized cockpit, it still looks awesome!

Saw it at Walmart today priced at $150 and was blown away by how cool it looks on the box. Should I get one? Looks damn cool. Love the interior. Is it that improved over the old one? Is the cockpit better? These things matter...

It's 100 times better... It's a Falcon that actually looks right next to the 3 3/4 figs. Four figs fit in the cockpit and the sound/light features are phenomenal. If you saw it for $150 I'd say grab it. It's the perfect way to display your best ANH figs... and you can toss any old Falcon to the nearest kid who can spin it around their head on a rope to use the hyperdrive.

Buy it. You'll love it.

The stores are lousy with these things around here. They're everywhere. I'm tempted, but I've got so many other things coming up recently.

Re: Hasbro's rumored New Falcon!

I really hope that these will sell well at full price. I want to see Hasbro do more of these. And I would be happy paying full price for them as I think that, after seeing it at the con, even at 150.00, they are the best value ever put out by Hasbro. But I stumbled across a deal I could not pass up. I walked in to K-Mart today and found that they had a buy 2 get one free sale that ended today. They did not have any Falcons. But they did have 1 AT-TE. I ended up getting a rain check for 3 of each and a buddy told me he wanted one of each from me as he needs to pay it off over time. So I am effectively getting both of mine for 1/2 price.

I want to reiterate...I would have GLADLY paid full price for them. But if the rain checks come through for me...I can't pass that up.

Re: Hasbro's rumored New Falcon!

I've heard Hasbro is VERY pleased with initial sales and pending how this stuff does going into Christmas time, we may well see more of these re-scaled vehicles done.

I really don't think these are gonna hit clearance. Come Christmas this and the AT TE are gonna be the toys to have.

Re: Hasbro's rumored New Falcon!

Now that I have the Falcon, I'm tempted to get the AT-TE. Anyone have that one yet? If I got it I would have to get all the Clonewars figures too.
