I'm pretty sure it was Attakus' "Metal" diorama of the Millenium Falcon...
It's nice in scale...but the figures are average at best...thei rfaces are similar to their statues' faces but on a smaller scale...lil' detail...

Yup, if it's really 3k then it's way too much. Ok, it's a VERY big piece(3 feet long, I heard), very complex, but no way I would pay $3k for it. It will probably be less than that, tough.

I really, really want to like this...even if just to have something to look fwd. to...but unless a lot less than 3K...I can't even think about it.
I can't believe how bad these (http://www.rebelscum.com/euroscum/pariscon_2005/image26.asp) are, or how cheesey these (http://www.rebelscum.com/euroscum/pariscon_2005/image27.asp) little disks are...
For that money...I'd have wanted much better detail in the characters...yes Attakus including their faces...and magnetic feet for standing, not disc stands...

What is included in that set?
Half of the Falcon plus every figure shown on the photos?

The characters faces doesn't bother me at all. They are 3 to 4 inches high, so you cannot expect the same level of details of a 17" statue for obvious reasons.
I really like everything about those. The only thing I don't like is the price. So I really hope the price will be less than that. I will probably buy them all(including the Dagobah scene) if the price is right.

No. The entire piece of background is included, but only 2 figures as far as I know. Each additional figure is $100 I believe. My favorite part of the diorama is how you can see inside the Falcon from the cut away part (look at the pic of the box to see it). You can't see that from the pics due to how they set it up.

This is amazing, but way to big and waaaay out of my budget. If I get a Falcon, it will be the MR version coming next year. Now THAT I would pay big bucks for. Of course it looks like I will have to with it costing close to $3,000. It would look awesome with the AT-AT SE I have coming.

I'm getting MR too. You can't never have too many Falcon's. I got the Code 3 recently for $100 shipped and it looks much better than I tought. In fact, it looks very, very cool and sturdy.

If this Attakus diorama sells for less than $2000 then I will get it for sure.

I understand there limits Cap, I was just hoping instead of using existing tech and producing the figs to existing standards that they'd take this oppurtunity to "blow the doors ioff of current" expectations. I could even deal w/ the faces...but those stands are killing me...AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH....and guys please understand I'm going through all of this because I want to like it, not simply because I don't....The Dagobah...right now is almost a certain thing....w/ no other Dagobah options...It's almost a no-brainer....the Falcon there's just too many options and the size of it would make it a labor of love to display....It would look awesome on a centrl display table if anybody has that kind of room....Dagobah may go on one of the end tablesin the LR...if it's not too big...

That's how I imagined it beeing displayed in case I get it.
I hear ya man. I wish I didn't like it, but I have been following it's progress for a long time, and the more I see it, the more I want this thing! :laugh:
But I really wish for much lower prices. I ain't buying it if it's more than 2k. The line needs to be drawn somewhere. And besides, there's WAAAAY too much stuff coming in the next months.

Sounds like a good plan.
How about the first 6 months on my place? :D

If Attakus only offered a FlexPay plan like SS....
