'This is no Cave' Space Slug Enviorama

[BlueSnaggletooth]

I might get this - depends on the price. Hopefully they get rid of the rod and replace it with clear plastic.

The rod looks weird but I'm not sure how else they could have done it honestly. When I heard this was coming I figured this would be the choice used to display the Falcon.

If it is actually bright/shiny metal, I guess I can always paint the rod black.

Dude, you can't be serious? A metal rod was all you can imagine? I clear plastic rod is a much better choice. That falcon isn't going to weight more than the hair clippings off my T-850 Cinemaquette. It does not need a metal rod to support it. They may still change to clear plastic for a much better appearence.

As much as I love SW, I have no interest in this piece at all. That's a rarity for me. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see more pics.

I might get it if it's not too expensive!

I just meant a rod. Not any specific material.

In the past LFL has nixed the clear plastic rod (the training remote) as looking too cheap and toy-like. That may have also happened here. However I think making it black would be a better choice than metal.

Indeed, what a bad choice too. I don't think this will be too hard a fix should the end result be so shiny. It is odd though that the location of the connecting rod is where it is, it would look more natural if it were positioned even slightly more where the exhaust would be.

Just take the rod out and hang the Falcon from the ceiling with fishing line. Then put a fan near it to make the ship look like its flying!

When I look at this picture, my eyes are drawn to (in this order):

1. The slug
2. The rod
3. The Falcon

But the (probably) very small size will bug me more than the rod. It could just be the flash/reflection/angle that is making it stand out more than it will in person.

limited edition of 2000 pieces according to www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
