“ The new Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon from Hasbro is the greatest Star Wars plaything ever made . No trick . Beats Amidala ’s Royal Starship . gravel the AT - AT . And even the Imperial Troop Transporter . This Falcon is the “ hunk of junk ” we ’ve been waiting for since May ’ 77 .
First thing you ’ll notice when you crack the cardboard is her size . Some 30 percent larger than the original from back in the twenty-four hours . You know — the one your Mom tossed in the scraps while you were in college rolling D20 ’s and get word BASIC . So prepare to upgrade your playroom / show case shelves to docking bay 94 sizing .
This Falcon has plenty of home way for parties . And does n’t lack for little nubs to slot your figures atop . Or chairs where they can take a rear end . The chairs are particularly cool . Remember those baby ? From the scene where Luke groom with the saber and Han flips him attitude ? The ace that George Lucas copied for his customs Lear Jet back in the ’ 80s . You do it that , right ? That he took a enceinte lot of his Star Wars gold and used it to have the interior of his private woodworking plane alter to resemble the interior of the Falcon ! ( Not straight , of course . But still — my favorite old schoolhouse SW rumour ! )
This Falcon ’s pigment line is wily . And so detailed I ’m approximate it must ’ve been done by next - gen droids , or Jawa slave children with very small hands . All the tech in this Falcon is land of the artistic creation . She ’s got wakeless effects up the gundark . Triggered via multiple buttons strategically place around her hardy Corellian hull . The orange light at the seat of the cockpit is coolheaded . As is the sweet blue band of locomotive light that accompanies the jump to hyperspace . But my fave feature of speech has to be the twin LED ’s that illuminate when the embarkment ramp easy lowers at the ghost of a clit . Perfect for lighting up the squishy floor of any odd looking asteroid cave .
One can only hope this magnificent spice moon-curser foretell an approaching renaissance from the boffins at Hasbro . The build quality , aid to point , and right-down routine of feature film on the Legacy Collection Falcon will resurrect the expectations of Star Wars Fans the republic over . Owning your own freighter ai n’t gimcrack . You may postulate to deal your mint in - boxful landspeeder from ’ 77 to cover the cost . But she ’s worth it . See you on the Kessel run ! I consider 11 parsecs is doable ! ”
