We don't see too many polls for Master Replica products.
Here is one.
Who will be buying the Millennium Falcon and how much are you willing to pay?
1) $1000 is my max
2) $1500 is my max
3) $2000 is my max
4) $2500 is my max
5) I'll only buy if s/n by Harrison Ford
6) I don't trust MR anymore as they could release a more limited version a few months later and devalue my investment.
7) Too rich for my blood
8) Not interested

I dont have a place to put it but if I were to consider it a Harrison Ford signature would probably make me look into it seriously.

I might get it if the price goes at around 1500 euros (shipped and including tax) and it's signed by Ford. I however know that these conditions will not be met by MR. :P

I'm defenetly buying it, signed by Ford or not. Been waiting a long time for a MR Falcon.

I really want this - would be the Holy Grail to my collection so I'd be in even at $2,500.
Where's the maybe selection :P
i say it won't go passed 2g's at least i hope so, not interested in a signature, unless the piece has a significant diffrence.

I choose the up to 1500 dollars... But I deffinately want the Millenium Falcon and look forward to start the MR Studio scale collection by purchasing the Signature ed. AT-AT and the 3/4 scale Snowspeeder followed by the Y-wing and then the Millennium Falcon... I prefer to start this new collection rather than complete the Weapons replicas, too many different ones... anyway I'd have to spend too much to complete my lightsaber-blasters collection as I only have the Luke ROTJ lightsaber and the Jedi training remote so I prefer to start this new high priced collection and be a completist in this line while I will buy just the weapons I like and not being a completist... a Must buy for me will be the ROTJ Boba Fett Blaster.

Well, I actually have seen the prototypes pics of the MR Millennium Falcon and I didn't know it was that huge so I now have to say that my vote doesn't count as this will never cost less than 1500 dollars, I might be interested in purchasing it at any price up to 2500... but now I might rethink on collecting the whole line as I might have to save money for it from now, and of course there's many other SW stuff coming out from Gentle Giant and Sideshow and Attakus so I better wait purchasing the At-At...

I would really love to have one of these but I just can't drop that kind of cash on this.
Does anyone know if this will be available to the secondary dealers?

Usually, I prefer figures than ships, but I am making exeptions sometimes. :)
Problem (other that the price) is to expose it.
I'll see.....in A future :)

Well, it's guaranteed to retail for over $1,500 considering that the AT-AT SE retailed for $1,399, and is much smaller and less detailed than this. Of course, that does have an acrylic case which adds to the price.
I'll pay up to $2,500 for this piece or $3,000 with Ford/Mayhew sigs. The main problem for me will be displaying it. If I can't find a space for it that won't look junky/crowded, then I'm passing.

Looks fantastic but displaying it will be a real problem. May have to pass for that reason.
I hear through the dealer grapevine btw that interest in the Y-Wing has been very disappointing - maybe because of the price, huge size and no case shipping with it. If true, that suggests that the production run on the MF will be pretty small.
As for Ford signing it, can't see it somehow. I watched a very recent UK TV interview with him and he's still bitter as hell at not receiving any payments for his likeness being used in merchandising after Star Wars. Unless they're gonna backdate what he's owed, I'd be surprised if he touches this.

He's bitter?!? Star Wars launched his career and helped make him the millionaire he is today. He's one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. It's not like he's homeless and ol' George is laughing at him from atop his mansion, lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills. Sheesh!

Exactly, let's not bring the price up or they may think we can accept it!
It will sell for $500! Not more! :laugh:

I suppose he can live with his his bitterness as he's working with Lucas on Indy IV... lol

thats another factor, if it doen't come with it, that means i'll have to get on on my own, very inconvinient.

Another thing to consider: a Signature Edition can be had through dealers as to avoid taxes and high MR shipping fees with FedEx. A Limited Edition only release would be an MR.com exclusive.
Just look at the Boba SE. It's cheaper through some dealers than buying the Boba LE through MR direct.
All studio scale(ships) items are available through dealers. Including the Y-Wing and the Falcon.

Even if the Falcon is a LE and not a SE?

Yes. As stated, the LE Y-Wing is available through dealers.

Yeah, I got that. I just didn't think the Falcon would be available to the secondary dealers. I thought it was going to be a MR exclusive regardless of it being a LE or SE.

At this moment I am told (and I am a wholesale rep for MR) that retailers will be able to carry the Falcon.

Cool. Thanks, Mike! This could bring it closer to my price range.
