Most Expensive Toy EVAR At Wal-Mart?
My gods... $149.99! Star Wars, Millenium Falcon.
Basically, it's the standard MF we all probably know and love, with a bunch of light up goodness (engines, chess table thingie, etc).
But $150?!? At Wal-Mart?!? Yeah, this one's going to be hitting the clearance shelves!

It looks to be 9" longer, 6" wider" and 2" deeper than the old version.
(In)Complete list of differences:

I'm debating whether this guy is worth it or not... anybody have enough SW stuff on display to tell me if this is even *approaching* what it would take to get the MF closer to scale with an X-wing or Tie Fighter?
EDIT: Okay, it shoots missiles too. I'm definitely picking one up once they hit clearance/sale (judging from early Evil-Bay sales, it *looks* like the approximate wholesale price for this is about $90-100).
And for a decent review:

Well after reading the article I have to give Hasbro their props in that they really seemed to go all out on this toy.
At least they didn't take the old Kenner molds and just churn out another re-cast. Westley is a big time "Warsie" and I think I may get him one provided he lets me play with it too.

I made a mistake! Mr. Lurker saw the post and is holding me to my word on buying the Aluminum Falcone.
He's got boogabear toys that I don't touch out of respect either like his MISB Shogun Warriors.
Thundercats on the other hand Mr.Man hates with a passion. The only thing he likes Thundercatswise are the voice cast recording outtakes and that's only because they're filthy.
He better be grateful he's good looking or he'd be out the door! j/k
I let him play with everything but boxed Megatron, Shockwave, Jetfire and Soundwave. Even I don't fiddle with those much myself.Commander Megatron wrote:Do you let him play with your Transformers and Thundercats Roar?

AWWWWWWWW! Maybe you could get the baby a Softimus Prime and Slumblebee!Wheezel wrote:Haha. I'm actually currently stockpiling transformer lines that I don't really like, *just* so the future mini-con has something to TF-like to play with. If it handles those appropriately, than perhaps I'll get it some *good* ones.
I wish that new big Millenium Falcon were a Transformer. Could you imagine the size of that robot????? *rubs hands together*

Anyway are these Falcons already in the stores now or is there a tenative release date? I haven't been out to to look for toys lately so I am out of the loop pretty much.
