OMG!!! :eek: :buttrock:

I've been dying to get a glimpse of this piece.
The details look awesome, and that comparison shot next to the AT-AT hull shows how huge this will be!

This is going to be one amazing/expensive piece! :cool:

[Exar Kun]

:banghead: wish I had the money and space to put this

[cap70]

This will be one BEAUTIFUL thing. Damn it...

[Moria]

$3K later there will be some happy Star Wars fans!

[galactus]

I may have to actually get this. The MF has always been THE definitive Star Wars ship for me.

[Shangrilien]

OMG !!! The details ... the details !!! Amazing job so far !
Hopefully, they'll manage to work something out for international shippings.

[risingstar]

Looks good so far... I look forward to painted pics.

[tomandshell]

It looks great, no doubt. But there's no way I could afford this, nor would I have anywhere to put it.

[risingstar]

What still saddens me is that whenever I see pics of the engineers, designers, or blueprint people (or whatever) on things like this (or statues and the like), I typically see a group of guys. It would be nice to see more women get involved in this sort of thing. While I don't believe women were intentionally excluded, I hope the day comes when we see more women sculptors, designers, and artists and so on in the field... I sincerely believe the hobby will never reach its true potential until more women enter the fray.

[elwood49]

I can't wait to see the finished pics. If it's less than $3k, then I'll probably get one. The biggest issue is finding a space to display it. I'll probably buy a nice table or pedastal to put it on, and get a huge acrylic cover for it.

[Exar Kun]

Damn! I really want this thing, but, cannot afford it. Does ayone knows a realeasing date? In 2007??

MR had a "meet & greet" with some Rebelsum forum members at their offices a few weeks ago. The news about the Falcon is that it will ship by the end of this year. It's due to go up for pre-order soon apparently. We'll see about that though. No talk of a price point yet.

I sure hope they come up with some sort of payment plan for this!

[ResinDog]

Payment plan and "free international shipping" like Sideshow did for the Predator Maquette would :buttrock:

[Weasel]

I don't even dare to think what the international shipping charges will be for this!

A payment plan would be a big, big, big deciding factor for me. It would really help to spread the payments out rather then dropping 2k (or whatever it might cost) for this all at once.

[lello999]

And some more pics (oh I´m so glad do not have the space for it)

That is going to be just awesome! :buttrock:

[lancelin]

Will this monster come with figures??

PLEAZ!

Monster is the correct word. Cap, do you still have space available in your 'sanctuary room'...or do you plan to make some :eplus2: ?

(anyone interested :eplus2: )

:laugh:

[risingstar]

If the price is right, I'd find space. I might hang it from the ceiling...

[cap70]

Hell yes, you can be sure I will find the space my friend. Have been waiting for a while for this one. :) :buttrock:

[YakFace]

The shipping prices for this to the UK will be astronomical. :banghead:

[elwood49]

If the price is right, I'd find space. I might hang it from the ceiling...

I can't even imagine how much this is going to weigh. :eek:

If you hang it from the ceiling, you'll miss the awesome details on the top.

[Weasel]

Not if it's a mirrored ceiling. :p

[Ish]

oh man that is something else, a must have!!

[spider-man]

that is awesome ,however I'm sure it will be far out of my price range.

[Exar Kun]

I am waiting to see how much it will be in EU. More expensive than in US, of course :mad: :banghead:

[Ish]

i say it's close to 2g's...

[lello999]

The shipping prices for this to the UK will be astronomical. :banghead:

Well, with Tim Ketzer´s experience with LFL Germany and the import of two 0.45 lightsabers I can´t see this monster arrive at my home at all.

Domenik

[risingstar]

The shipping prices for this to the UK will be astronomical. :banghead:

If you're willing to pay cover price, can't you just order it through your local comic store or something? I mean, they won't charge you shipping just retail. I think there are numerous Fobidden Planets in the UK. I'm fairly certain they will order a few. The one in London is massive!

Why pay shipping if you don't have to?
Am I missing something?

[Exar Kun]

From the newsletter I happen toknow that there are new pictures, but I can't see them :banghead: Anyone can? Please, post :buttrock:

thanks P1 :thumbs2: Awesome :buttrock:

[risingstar]

I wanna see a painted version!

[spider-man]

man , this thing is going to be rediculosly expensive.

[KAOSINLA]

AMAZING.....that's about all I can say......can't wait to see it painted.

[Zoyvod]

It will be interesting to see the final paint, and if there is the possibility of it being lighted. Or will it be an outside source that will offer a lighting kit. Also I wonder if they factor in that some will want to hang them since it looks pretty heavy.

[lancelin]

Man, it looks so awesome. If there is only ONE Star Wars collectable I want over anything else, it is CM Vader... This comes at close 2nd...

Hope the paint job will be nice, or better than AT-AT.

Lance

[Skulpturen]

Amazing! :buttrock:

Yes, space (+ price) is an issue... but even if I got some space how should I protect it from dust? More space needed for a huge display... :banghead:

[cap70]

I really hope it's lighted, that would be awesome!

[Weasel]

I don't want to start any rumors but, I thought I recall reading somewhere that it would be lighted. Anyone else remember reading this? :peoples:

[Zoyvod]

Wonder if anyone will make this into an Xbox 360 mod I am hoping the price will make people think twice. :laugh:

[cking]

Guys,

It IS going to be lighted!
The engine lights, c0ckpit lights and "headlights" will all be functional. The c0ckpit alone looks AWESOME! I love that they've recreated the full size studio set and incorporated it into this miniature. It's a bit of artistic license because the real ILM miniature Falcon didn't have a detailed c0ckpit that matched the studio set. However, in this instance, I think they made the right choice! I can't wait to get this!!!

Chris

Yup, Chris, that's what I heard. It better be. It's a must.

[Weasel]

I thought I heard that somewhere! Thanks, Chris.
Wow. This thing is going to be unbelievable.

[ResinDog]

Guy's, look here (http://www.rpf.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=109409&st=60) at Barry's post from RPF...
He confirms that it will indeed be lit, and posted some prototype pics to prove it...

***Also, I don't know if others noticed this but MR's last newsletter included this little tease at the bottom of the page...

Coming Soon...
Open hailing frequencies. There’s a starship off the port bow…

[Zoyvod]

That is truly amazing they did a great job on the lights.

[lancelin]

Just canceled all my Sideshow PF and most 12" awaiting for this MONSTER.

Lance

[Weasel]

Wow. What more can be said about this? Absolutely amazing! How the heck am I going to get one of these?!?

My wife doesn't notice when I get another statue or prop so I don't get much grief from her about that but, I think a 5 foot long Millennium Falcon sitting in the middle of my collection room might raise a few questions. :inquisiti

She might notice the forklift you will be driving to get this beast inside the house. I personally say cut the backup alarm wires just keep a watch out for OSHA. :laugh:

I wonder how the heck will this be packaged, and will people need to take their door off the hinge to get it inside. Or the doorbell rings, and one see's 15 boxes with some assembly required labeled on them. LoL :laugh:

Or five FedEx vans to deliver this piesce

LoL :laugh: You just game me the vision from the movie Santa Clause when they delivered the Naughty and Nice lists.

[lancelin]

Is everyone going to wait and look at the ebay/retailer market or is everyone who's grabbing the MR purchase immediately??

Somehow, I think the MR, despite the hype, will sell as slow as the SE AT-AT due to its price tag..

Depends if Mr. Ford signs it (unlikely). If he does, expect them to sell out in no time, no matter what the price. Every ebay flipper in town will see them as gold mines.

Without the siggy, the high price and huge amount of wall space required will put the brakes on sales.

I hear through the dealer grapevine that interest in the Y-Wing has been less than spectacular, so I would expect MR to try and make the Falcon as irresistible as possible. And of course it will be their flagship piece for some time to come.

I wonder in regards to having them signed. All Mr. Ford has to do is take an hour out of his day to sign the plates. I assume it is about the $, but still there can not be that many plates to where it could be considered an inconvenience.

[robomorph]

Well last I heard he was still annoyed about the merchandising that followed the first movies, and the fact that he got nothing for it. Still bugs him even now, apparently.

Having said that, the claim of HF signed editions must have had some substance to it, so who knows what deal might have been cut? I guess we'll wait and see...

[Skulpturen]

If he doesn't sign them I'll send my Falcon to him for signing! :laugh:

[risingstar]

I can't remember the last time there was so much buzz around MR products... The Enterprise and the Falcon is going to be the talk of the town for a while... Can't wait to see them in person!

[Exar Kun]

Damn! I think, I am gonna wait - put aside all my CM items (Aragorn and Sparrow) and take this one: that's THE SW ship to have if there is one to have.

[cking]

Hey Weasel. It's NOT 5 foot long. You're confusing the scale with the large Falcon that was built for Star Wars.

Master Replicas are basing their replica on the 3 foot long version that was built for The Empire Strikes Back. The diameter of the main hull is 2 feet and the total length measured front to back is 3 feet.

It's still big, but NOT as big as you were suggesting. Hope that puts your mind at ease!

This Falcon's very special neighbor (my private commission) is at painting stage also now...

This is awesome!!!
