I think they could sell a TON of a large scale MF if they did it right - release it
as 6-10 subsets, and if you buy them all, it builds the whole thing.

1 - cockpit
2 - laser cannons with cockpits
3 - entrance ramp/nose
4 - chess table/room
5 - engine section
6 - part of corridor with hull plates
7/etc - more corridor, and the rest of it.

Think about it - as $20-50 sets, parents could afford to buy it bit by bit.  And all
they would have to do is include extra plates/bricks to solidly lock sections
together, and then maybe sell a separate instruction book on how to build it from
the ground up, locking them all together even more solidly, if you bought them all
at once.

I'd DEFINITELY buy them all, if not all at once, as quickly as I could.

Oh man!!  I allmost hope your kidding.  I just think a Millennium Falcon in the
kind of detail that we see in the comming X-Wing and Tie Interceptor would have
to be in the $700 range.  I could be wrong however if they decide to stay away
from scale restrictions in the series.  I suppose they could make a Falcon in
incredible detail that is only fractionally bigger than the X-Wing.

I wonder what people would think of that.  Would you allow for more flexibilty
in scale in this new line?  If the scale of a Falcon were significantly smaller
than the scale of the X-Wing would there be a problem?  Or would that be seen
as OK in a series such as this?

I would like to here everyones feelings on this.

I wouldn't be willing to pay the kind of money that a large-scale limited
edition model would go for...however, I'd love a small-scale, highly detailed
Model-Team(ish) Falcon.  I'm not so much concerned with size as with reasonable
accuracy to scale.
