Here's some comparison pics i took of the initial release parts and the newly released parts. Old parts left, new bits right.

Looks like they have really changed the pieces. I am not a mf expert put it looks better from the little I know. I REALLY hope they bring this to the usa. It will probably be the only way for me to get a nice mf.

So what you are saying is...that Han Solo took his reward money from helping luke to bling out his Laser turrets?
The guns should blend with the rest of the paint job..being metal they look like they might stick out..and need a repaint!

I was sceptical about this and scoffed when I heard of this the first time. But having purchased the first issue I'm sold. I never thought I'd buy into this but it looks like alot of fun. On the guns - yes they need to be painted - a little mix of tamiya white and deck tan should blend it all in. The one thing that attracts me is that I prospectively control the build and can modify it as I go and I don't have to deal with the real estate of a large mirrored base that came with the MR Falcon - that put me off big time. Furthermore its a more fiscally viable option for getting a falcon that's c;lose to the miniature.
However ever cautious I'll purchase a few more issues before I actually commit to a subscription.

I'm sold on this build too. At first I was also very skeptical, but having picked up the first issue I can say that the quality and detail of the parts (so far) is absolutely first rate. Having compared the initial piece of hull plate to its counterpart on the MR model, I'd even go as far as to say that the clarity and quality of the detailing is if anything slightly better. Certainly way better than the initial test pieces from last year. I'm also very drawn to the fact that this is a true kit and not a pre-built collectible, like the MR model, as there's so much scope for customisation and super detailing. The interior detailing is another cool feature that can be taken as far as you want. Let's just hope all the other parts are as good as what we've seen so far and no corners are cut, such as mirrored mandibles etc. I've never done a part-work build like this before, so I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into it and seeing other peoples progress.

Going back to page 2 of this thread you can see MaNdAlOr had posted a comparison of the DeAgostini's poor quality compared to the excellent Master Replica detail
I've updated his photo with the detail of the DeAgostini now,.......
Somebody has been busy!!
I recon by the end of this collection with a bit of work (painting & weathering) the DeAgostini will make the MR look a bit lazy looking,......This new Falcon will have areas to open up,.....have more to look at,.....can you imagine how much a completed one could sell for???
I think it is brilliant,.....don't know if I can afford it though

Well, I'm sold. Just signed up. Good thing is, you can pull out at any time (not that I intend to), and you get a few extra freebies thrown in.
This will make up for passing on the MR Falcon when they were going for £800 at Play.com.

Posted on Rebelscum. Very cool MR history, Accurizing, and the upcoming Deagostini Model info.

This is going to be amazing! Does anyone know however if they are obligated to carry this through to completion if they start it? I can imagine how disturbing it would be to get a year into this, with considerable money invested, and they decide to shelve it. Must say though that if this comes to the state's early this year and is followed through, it will indeed be a dream come true for any Falcon fan.

I'm sure they put a warning in small print someplace that they can discontinue it at any time. They would be crazy not to. Hopefully they would not want the bad press from doing that..and that will keep them honest...They better release it in USA THO..I'd hate to see the EBAY prices on these if they don'tThis is going to be amazing!
