Well some of us prefer Props when collectiing toys is pushed to the limit
It amazes me how some collectors that will spend hundreds, if not thousands on Star Wars toys will not entertain the notion of this. As many know im a big prop fan aswell as the toys, and have quite a vast and varied collection. I love giving toys the custom paintjob etc and try to build as large a collection as i can whilst retaining realism. I can tell you now, that the Master Replicas Falcon can go for upwards of £2000, and even more with the Ford signed edition. This replica being sold as a kit is being part masterminded by the guy who played a huge part in MR success in replica props. I can say that this will be the best Falcon prop if all goes well, and even the MR wont hold a candle to it. It will be the first with a full interior aswell.
I actually bought 2 copies of the first edition as im currently transforming one of the new huge Hasbro falcons, and will use the cannon and cockpit walks etc. Im thinking about subscribing to this and perhaps taking a photo after each part of assembly, and keeping everyone here in the loop.
At the end of the day, whether you spend £900 on this and it takes 2 years to build or you can spend £900 on a vintage focus or one single piece you desire its all the same in my book. Its a marathon, not a sprint
id choose this over a Palitoy 12 back any day of the week because its the visual aspect aswell as the idea of actually owning a Falcon. And i have a huge vintage collection covering all aspects, so you can leave yourself to start down new avenues SW related.
