Is that the Falcon in stores that runs about $150, or an even newer one?

 

I think it's the one that came out late last year, early this year, and it's not cheap.  It's huge but the details inside are incredible(I saw some pics).

Yeah, it looks great.  I took the cheap route and got the Empire issue on eBay, with a beat up box, for about $30 and gave it to my son for Christmas.

It's the new one from July last year. $150 or £150 (Man I hate the 1:1 conversion ration that Hasbro get away with). I couldn't aford it earlier but it was my 40th birthday and Argos were having a sale (£100). And yeah, it really is that much bigger.

I had an old Empire Falcon back in the day but bought the rerelease back in the 90's. I'll try to get time to take some interior shots over the weekend and post those - Table with little holograms on, the practice ball is back, hidden compartments etc. There are a couple of lights in the cockpit as well. Lots of (loud) noises.

Oh yeah, you get a little 'runabout' as well, it fits one of the side circles. I wasn't interested in that until I realised that there was a cool launching noise whenever you pulled it out and pushed it back in.

This is kind of out of the blue, but I just acquired the Galactus build-a-figure in trade for some other action figure spare parts, and I was wondering if anyone might have a spare right leg for sale?

His right leg? That's the one that came with War Machine? I might have one;
I'll need to root through my junk drawer.

With so many new anniversary 3 3/4" Joes on the market, I can safely avoid the big stuff.

Here's the FF She-Hulk (yes, I know, wrong colors, but the one I paint will be right) painted by Dan J. of Kit Builders.




I'm going to be converting one of these into the Avenger's costume.
