Having seen one up close and almost personal a couple weeks
ago, it will NOT convert to minifig usage very easily. It's actually a
bit smaller than minifig scale (almost half or 1/3 minifig scale, I
would guess). Most of the interior is taken up by structure pieces
that holds the outsides together.
Big disappointment I found was that the decorations are all
you-apply-yourself decals rather than printed on the bricks/pieces
like other decorated parts (one exception: radar dishes with the
tie-fighter hatch design is recycled here). Rather easy to misalign a
decal and forever have a decoration that's off-kilter. (another pain
is two large side decals that cover multiple slopes).
Still, when/if my budget would allow, I'll get one for my collection.
