I think they could sell a TON of a large scale MF if they did it right - release it
as 6-10 subsets, and if you buy them all, it builds the whole thing.
1 - cockpit
2 - laser cannons with cockpits
3 - entrance ramp/nose
4 - chess table/room
5 - engine section
6 - part of corridor with hull plates
7/etc - more corridor, and the rest of it.
Think about it - as $20-50 sets, parents could afford to buy it bit by bit. And all
they would have to do is include extra plates/bricks to solidly lock sections
together, and then maybe sell a separate instruction book on how to build it from
the ground up, locking them all together even more solidly, if you bought them all
at once.
I'd DEFINITELY buy them all, if not all at once, as quickly as I could.
