I have Toy Fair pics up right now for the Falcon, AAT, UCS X-Wing and
MindStorms AT-AT - big clear shots.  AND - info on that bucket - want to • know
what it is?  I know - and you will too!


I've ranted enough about the MF, so just let me start by saying I'm pleased
by a couple of details gained from this picture:

1.  The 2x2 round tiles come in two different prints, both of which will be
usefull for MOCs.
2.  If the printing on the cockpit looks like the paper on the picture, it
will be a considerable improvement over the catalog pic (but please tell me
they aren't stickers).
3.  It looks even more to me like the whole top comes off, leaving plenty of
room for interior details.
4.  The rear end, while not great, is certainly an improvement over the front
"overhang" plate (which looks even worse from this angle.)
5.  The hoses-for-engine implementation is pretty poor, but the idea has some
merit.  A stack 2 or 3 high curved to match the rest of the hull might look
nice.
