There's currently a discussion happening in lugnet.starwars concerning a minifig scale Millenium Falcon model. It seems to me that a lot of people are hampered by "minifig scale."

(...) Right. It may sound like I'm losing sight but I'm not. I'm just dreaming :) I suspect a Model Team version Falcon is more likely. -Tom McD. (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
