Rotating quad turbolaser cannon targets enemies while authentic vehicle flyby sounds put the dogfight right in your living room.

4.0 out of 5 stars She's still got it where it counts, kid!, August 21, 2004

For the first time since 1995, the Millenium Falcon gets re-released with a few "Special" modifications making this the best version of the Falcon released to date. The Hyperdrive now illuminates with a cool blue glow when activated by 2 of the 4 authentic sound effects buttons that simulate the "Jump into Hyperspace" and the casual "Flyby." There is also the engine "Jump-Start" sounds and the forward mounted cannons strobe red and "fire" when activated. The forward-mounted missile projectile shoots and makes the sound effect from the film to re-create the assault on the Death Star's Main Reactor. There are even working headlights on the front of the ship just like in the movie. The cockpit has been redesigned to accomodate two of the post-Power of the Force scale action figures, but don't expect to fit both of the super-sized "steroids" Chewie and Han figures from the '95 Power of the Force line. The landing gear now "snap" firmly into place and will not easily push up into the hull so the Falcon will no longer "sag" when it is in landing mode. The overall quality of the plastic is much more durable and the paint and weathering are very authentic and an improvement over the stark-white vintage and the over-done Power of the Force versions. The interior is pretty much the same. There is a hidden floor compartment to hide some action figures and there is a rotating chair for the swivel cannons. The landing ramp lowers and there is the old chess board table. Now, take my advice, if you want to use the holo-chess table that was included with Dejarik Chewbacca, DO NOT apply the decal for the chess board over the table first. The table has been fastened by a small phillips head screw. Unscrew this first before applying the decal, this way you can place Dejarik Chewbacca over the stem and easily switch between tables as you prefer. Overall, the modifications to the old mold are very impressive but there is still room for considerable improvements. The cardboard backdrop inside the playset could have been removed and an access corridor and doorway could have been implemented to connect the cockpit to the aft section like in the films. The rotating cannon could have been retooled to accomodate one of the previously released "Gunner Stations" figures and the flashing lights could have been incorporated into the cannon barrels instead of on the front of the hull. I would like to have seen an Emergency Access Hatch and elevator to recreate Luke's rescue from Cloud City. Perhaps it would have been better to just create an entirely new scale Falcon from scratch ala the FX X-Wing to accomodate all of these possible features but for what they have done to the old mold, she may not look like much, but she still has it where it counts!

A very big ship indeed!
It has cool sounds. Now you can fit two characters in the cockpit! Alot of room for figures inside, gunner seat,and
lights also. It looks small in the picture, but its huge!
Battle damage outside too. You can re-create the scene from the movie when ties come. Don't feel like fighting, Make the jump to hyperspace with lights and sounds! It also has the secret floor panel like in the movie! The landing gear is very durable.
The door works well, but the legs on the door aren't sturdy.
When I play with it,I open the flap to put the figures in because the figure will hit the legs and they will fall off.
They could have removed the cardboard wall and made more room though. Other than that, I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice ship!, September 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars E3 OTC MILLENNIUM FALCON (Toy)

When I first saw the new Millennium Falcon, I thought it was just a repackaged version of the one that was released in the mid to late 90's. I'm glad that I took a closer look because Hasbro has added some nice new features and made some improvements over earlier releases. As a collector (i.e. big kid ;)), I've always liked the Millennium Falcon toy. But there were a few things on the original and the 90's re-release which bothered me. First was the fact that it is rather difficult to get figures into the cockpit. There's not much space in there and the cheap plastic hinge used to open/close the cockpit cover always seemed kind of fragile. I was always afraid of bending it too far because the plastic would eventually get weak and break. And remember how if you 'fly' the ship upside down the cover over the main compartment would fall off? Well, I'm happy that the toy designers at Hasbro have fixed these problems. The new cockpit has a redesigned cover that flips up (instead of sideways) on a more standard peg hinge. The control panel sits inside the cockpit cover and no longer has a divider to separate the left and right 'seat'. This makes getting Han and Chewbacca in and out of the cockpit much easier. The new hinge should also be more durable over time, although you must be careful not to flip the cockpit cover up too far. They also added strategically placed tabs on the main compartment cover so it will stay in place even when the ship is upside down. It takes a little bit of effort to get the cover on, but it's not too bad. On my 90's re-release Falcon, I discovered a problem with the rear landing gear. I had stored the ship for a few years. I got it out recently and pulled out the landing gear. The plastic tabs used to lock the rear landing gear into place had been pushed in for so long that they no longer popped out far enough to securely hold the gear out. Hasbro must have recognized this problem because the new 2004 version uses spring loaded tabs in the landing gear which shouldn't have this issue. One of the best new features of the ship are the lighted engines. This is what caused me to buy it. They look really cool (especially at night) with the bright blue lights. The new 'fly by' sound effect enhances the visual effect of the lighted engines. The new launching missile is another nice feature. You can load the red missile into the front of the ship and press a button to fire it. Firing the missile also turns on a missile launching sound effect (nice!). The new sound effects are mostly good. Besides the 'fly by' sound, you also get 'start' (which sounds like the engines starting up and then switches to a cruise sound; the engines also light up), 'burst' (which sounds like the hyperdrive turning on, followed by cruise sound; the engines light up for this one also), and 'cannon' (which sounds like the laser cannons firing and causes the red cannons on the front of the ship to light up). I don't really like the 'cannon' sound and prefer the laser cannon sound from the 90's re-release Falcon better. But that's just my opinion. The only other thing I don't quite like about the ship are the small pegs used to secure the ramp in the closed position. They are smaller than the ones used on the 90's re-release. It looks like they might snap off if you're not careful. Only time will tell if this will be a problem. Overall, I really like this new ship. Hasbro did a good job adding new features and correcting problems the old versions had. It is a great looking ship/toy. Whether you had an earlier Millennium Falcon or not, you will enjoy this new 2004 version.
