I agree. Those saucers scare the bejubies out of me. One thing we don't know
is if they have detailed any of the interior or if it is just the cockpit.
Does the model double as a playset? I guess we don't know yet. If it doesn't
I would be sceptical as to its part selection being that good except for the
fact that there seems to be alot of gray.
If they detail the interior however there may be several quality parts in this
set that can be used in other scenarios.

The Model Team/ Limited Edition/ Technic sets do look sweet but with there size
I am guessing that these are going to be expensive sets probably around the 70
to 80 dollar mark. If thats true I have a feeling that the Falcon may not be
considered viable for this type of set unless it truely is a Limited Edition
and only a few 100 to a 1000 are made.
I am still waiting on those Storm Troopers. Who was the Underdog in this crazy
story anyway. By the looks of the set selection so far I think the Rebels
should have had a much easier time defeating the Empire than they did.
