Okay, here goes <donning flame-retardant suit>:
I like the MF prototype as seen in that picture (knowing that part of the colour
separation is missing).
Sure, sure, I may be the ONLY ONE, but with a little saucer decoration and in
varied shades of grey/white, it might actually be decent. I believe the cockpit is
a new piece, and will probably look like that--my only big gripe--so that you can
fit four minifigs in it, but I'm looking forward to having undecorated or
slightly-decorated large saucer sections and the round underside-hulls that are
almost certain to accompany it. I'm going to withhold my final analysis, but so
far, I'm happier with it than I thought I'd be. Remember how lousy we all assumed
the X-Wing would be, and it ended up being better than we'd expected? As far as
playset-nature, I'd look for a Kenner-like central room
Maybe my faith is a bit old-fashioned, but I think the MF prototype isn't bad,
compressed to short'n'fat though it is. I'll be happy to have it, if only for
parts.
LFB.
