(...) Totally. (Please note that the following rave is based on a minimum of personal experience of the sets in question.) If I'm only going to get one UCS model, I want the Falcon. Compare the System X-wing and the UCS X-wing (in terms of scale, (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Now what would be really cool is if they made the UCS Falcon near-minifig scale so you could convert it. :^) I suppose for it to remain below $250 it would need to be pretty close to the correct scale anyway. ~Mark (...) interest, (...) Millenium (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Ok first... My three were the B-wing, AAT and the Falcon. Second, I was sitting here thinking... if LEGO did come out with a $300 Falcon set... it MIGHT not do that well at retail. I am not that sure what the cost for them would be for packaging (as (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I really think a UCS A-Wing would be great, and because of the size of the ship they could probably make the thing for $100. My choices were largely based on reality, I can easily imagine a UCS A-Wing or B-Wing or even AT-ST, but I cannot imagine a (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Why does everyone keeps thinking the scale of TLC's 'system' Falcon is too small. It is dead on compared to thier X-wing. It must be that whole deal that the interior sets for the Falcon is 40 percent larger that the 'life-size' model they (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Making the Death Star as a UCS set wouldn't make sense. In order to make it large enough to see sufficient detail to justify the UCS status, it would have to be huge. I'm not interested in a $500 model that's essentially a gray sphere. I want (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Out of curiosity, where are you getting your numbers from? According to the SW site, the falcon is 27 meters long, which translates into about 88.5 feet, which should be 620mm long as a minifig scale model (1 minifig foot ~ 7mm, given that a (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I went with the Falcon, AT-AT and it was a toss up between a Sand Crawler (which we have actually seen) and the Imperial Shuttle. Although an all silver brick Queens Nubian Starship would be very cool. I wouldn't waste my votes on anything that (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
