Let's not forget that legoes are for kids.  As adult collectors we are in
thier world.  I just recieved the Falcon for fathers day from my wife and soon
to be first child, and I am looking at the instructions thinking," This is
going to be AWESOME!"
Just my oppinion,

It *IS* awesome.  I own the set and I love it.  I'm a so-called Star
Wars "fanboy" and I just love the set.  My only problem with the set would be
with the cockpit, but it's such a small complaint that it's not worth worrying
about.  I was amazed at how big this set was (it looked much smaller in the
pics,) and it looks great next to the other Lego SW sets.  I think the colors,
while not perfect, make the Falcon compliment the rest of the SW line.  I for
one am quite pleased, and the money I spent was well worth it.
