    Re: new Millennium Falcon —John VanZwieten
   Here's my attempt at enhancement: (URL) is definitely Lego. Look at how the white and black areas are stepped just like bricks around the front right portion of the saucer. Actually the whole outside edge of the mandible looks stepped. -John Van (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: new Millennium Falcon —Kevin Loch
     I don't think so. It looks like it has too much detail to be made out of bricks. What we need is a better scan. KL (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: new Millennium Falcon —Eric Joslin
   (...) I disagree. I think it's definitely NOT Lego. If it is made of Lego, it's built to a scale that would preclude it from being a set- there's way too much detail on it. As much as I would like to beleive that this is an early look at a (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: new Millennium Falcon —Franklin W. Cain
     (...) What if the MF is a _Model_Team_ (or equivalent) set (and _not_ a minifig set) ? Then the observed level of detail _would_ be appropriate for Lego, wouldn't it? Franklin (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: new Millennium Falcon —Eric Joslin
     (...) Assuming it is, or is even designed by the model team for the regular line (to get more detail), the detail level is still too fine for it to be built out of Lego at a reasonable size. It would have to be 2.5-5 feet, at least. On at least one (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I think the appearance of detail is due to shadowing and pixelization, and probably some SPUDs in the case of the side portals. Care to take a stab (...)

     (...) You're certainly enititled to that opinion. (...) What does the crazy way the lights sources are angled on the model have to do with whether it's Lego or not? Or, let me rephrase that, rather than be disingenous. I've seen someone's suggestion (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) It might not be an early look at a prototype, but it might be a look at an early prototype. IOW, it might be LEGO, but it probably isn't what's going to be sold in stores. Steve (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
