Someone (Knight) from a SW site (theouterrim, I think) sent me this:

http://www2.pncl.co.uk/~huw/lego/temp/falcon.jpg

He says its a genuine picture obtained from LEGO of the final model and NOT
a mock-up.

If so, our worse fears have been realised...

(...) It looks ugly enough to be from TLG, but that looks suspiciously like a hand underneath it...not quite the caliber of photography expected from TLG. Hmmm, the cockpit canopy looks new, or maybe from a clone... Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Blech. That's a truly awful design (for a production set). I'd rather have a Falcon-Jr. None of the other SW sets have this poor a design. I *hope* this was just a design/test model, and this approach was discarded. If that's the finished (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) If this is true and that is the Millenium Falcon I think the desert skiff is starting to look pretty good. I will say this in my best Eric Cartman voice, "you guys, this sucks!" If lego continues with sets like this, "Best Lock, I'm coming (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
