Please, for the love of god.. tell me the Millenium Falcon is not $35... =/

Well I found the SWTF Millenium Falcon today in my local Toymaster, it was £30.  I've got it held back for me on reserve till the 4th of next month.  So the US pricing might be the same thing.

 

-Chuckles

The SW TF Falcon is $35.

I picked him up at Walmart yesterday. (LA, Cal)

 

And he is Gorgeous - worth every penny. Both Han & Chewie stand nearly a head taller than any of the other SW TFs - infact they are as tall as Vector Prime. So if you compare the price to the VP/Screamer figs - its really a better deal. Cuase they are not a silly duplicate and they are actually Show Acurate.

 

The combined Falcon mode is FANTASTIC!! Absolutely Fan Wankingly Awesome.

 

The transformation is innovative and fun. Lots of little WOW moments inthe process. But just like much of the Cybertron line - each step in the TF is logical and enjoyable. Its pretty easy but by no means simple.

 

Han has a small issue with his knees and ankles. In fact his left foot is assembled wrong which prevents him from standing up or even Transforming correctly.  I know that the cool review over at TFW2005 mentioned this as well.  BUT its a simple matter of removing two screws flipping the flap around and putting it back together.

 

I dont have time for a full review right now. but I Completely recommend this figure(s).

 

He has everything the SW-TFs SHOULD have had from the beginning.

Iconic - Perfect Altmode.

Stable sturdy plastic construction.

Two highly detailed, very posable bot modes and some great gimmicks.

Thanks TFans for showing me the "Fan Mode" pics of Emp Palpatine

with wings on shoulders...

 

Nice looking bot.

 

I will buy one tommorow.

 

Could ALWAYS use another good Decepticon...

:clap I so want this set.

BTW - i just figured this out -

The Stroy on the back of the box (actualy on the side) Clearly states that the mech mode is something that Han & Chewie Modified the Falcon to do. in otherwords it IS NOT MEANT TO BE THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES.

 

I know this is a minor issue -but it has been an issue in the fandom(s)

I figured as much from looking at the box. The very first pictures on the web of them didn't really wow me, but from the second I looked at it right in front of me I though "I want one"

 

But that doesn't mean I'll be able to buy it. Maybe one day...

Then that's a change from the others; the Jedi/Sith all morph into their vehicles. Not sure about the Fetts though.

 

I imagine a bio describing Han and Chewie morphing together into one might have been a bit awkward.

Han: Hey, Chewie!

Chewbacca: RAWRR!

Han: It's MORPHIN' TIME!!!

Chewbacca: *whimpers in fear*

I really think that these toys are a weak and don't look good at all. Being a fan of both Starwars and TF i found these toys horrible, but that is my beef...
