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.

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. I sold my Lego UCS Falcon when I heard about this one.
