Greg,
Chicago did get them!!
I am so glad I got my Falcon when I did. The TRU at Western @ Addison in
Chicago got 2 falcons and 5 Tie Interceptors around the 20th of June. I got a
falcon and a Tie that day. the other falcon sat for about 3 days. I went back
yesterday only to find that the Star Wars Lego section is now 1/4 the size it
was and they are replacing them with Rock Raiders. Why??? The only thing they
have a ton of is the pod racer set(at full price). I asked 2 people if they
had any plans to get more in. Their answer was "check back in a few weeks." So
I took that as they had no clue. So perhaps you can call around to the TRU's
to see if they still had one on the shelves. But with Chicago taxes, I might
just call S@H. I would like a second one so I can kit bash them into a better
Falcon. I already had to add a few gray service packs and some random Dark
Gray odd part E-Bay wins to open the walkway from the cockpit to the ship
body, made the ship taller so the minifigs can stand in the ship, filled in
the holes in the front, replaced all visible blue blocks, made more/larger
smuggling compartments, new interior walls, added bottom quad gun, got one
gunners seat(working on second seat, just not enough room). Oh yeah, and I fed
the cheesy escape pod to my ferrets(they seem to like lego's too).
Any idea why Lego made a nice new canopy for the falcon and the minifigs have
to be staggered to sit in the cockpit? Why could they not make a useable new
canopy?
John
Wishes the falcon canopy was 2 pegs wider.

| (...) So, how wide *is* it, Johnny? </McMahon> ;-) I was thinking about trying to find some for a MOC, since the picture in the catalog makes it look like it might be wide enough for side-by-side seating, but I gather than it's not. True? Thanks, (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
