BMF Millennium FalconSubmitted by Atom on 6 June, 2008 - 14:25.
This is looking pretty sweet. I'll be expecting comprehensive coverage by our crack team of reporters from SDCC 08 on this... =) 
The newly tooled Millennium Falcon really does “have it where it counts” with all of the incredible features that include: * Light-up headlights and loads of electronic vehicle and weapon sounds – engine boost, cruise mode, fly-by, firing cannons, and more * Opening, light-up cockpit can fit up to 4 figures. Vehicle includes Han Solo and Chewbacca and can hold up to 18 figures * Remove outer panels to access the ship’s interior, then head for the medical bay to treat wounded Rebels * Secret smuggling compartments to hide from Stormtroopers * Boarding ramp with auto-opening action, deployment sounds and landing lights * Pivoting gunner station to target Imperial fighters * Light-up hyperdrive lights and authentic movie phrases and sounds from favorite characters: Han, Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, Chewbacca and R2-D2 * Rotating laser turret fires 2 missiles and makes weapon sounds; ship also features a 3-missile launcher with blasting sounds, and a cannon that launches a “laser” missile * Missile-firing mini-fighter fits inside an opening docking bay that makes electronic boarding and flight sounds * Pivoting training probe makes lightsaber and movement sounds – learn the power of the Force * Illuminated Dejarik table with holographic creatures – let the Wookiee win Not even a game of Sabaac could win you a new Millennium Falcon early. They will be available to see first hand when the Millennium Falcon is unveiled at Comic Con and then will be sold in stores when Clone Wars is available on 7/26. So brush up on your Saabac skills, strap in and prepare to jump to lightspeed with the new Millennium Falcon. Stay tuned for more information from Hasbro and may the Force be with you!

I think the reason Hasbro named so the small ship is because "Escape Pod" didn't sound too exciting, from a marketing point of view. Remember that at some point when the MF is trapped in the Death Star an officer informs Vader that the crew seemed to have jumped ship shortly after escaping the Tattooine blockade, hence, there should have been an escape pod on board (or an empty bay for it). I for one love the new design, and the spec sheet posted online only whetted my appetite for it. Sit vis vobiscum. |

I sold my Lego UCS Falcon when I heard about this one. Still not true to scale, but about as big as you can make it for a mass-market toy. Maybe one day Hasbro will look back at the USS FLAGG and do a true-scale MF for an internet exclusive.
It's got some canon-questionable features that made certain omissions a bit frustrating. But I understand it's still trying to be a toy and not a scale replica. The argument was that we never see every part of the ship in the films so a mini-fighter isn't out of the question.
