Bandai 1/72 PG Millennium Falcon (also the Revell Germany rebox)

Reading through this thread again, it's amazing that Bandai put out such a great model kit. Loved (mostly) every second of building mine.

Made a photo for Star Wars day with my Falcon:

There is a run scheduled for this month. After that, only Bandai knows for sure.

It might have been your post that I read, thanks. “Run” that’s the word I was looking for. I’ll have to make sure I grab one this time.
 
They are still available at most distributors... and eBay of course, but you pay a premium there. You just need to search around a bit to find it.

Wish I knew were some of these are. Best price I have found is $397.

Edit: Found one.

I didn’t give a full story. I’m looking for one in Japan, Europe or Australia where the dollar to euro/yen/aud will allow me to pick one up closer or under $300. I’ve tried HobbyCo, Yellow Submarine, Bic Camera, Akihabara and Osu-Kun district shops. All out.
 
Nice job andyland

Maybe make a ANH version and then you can have one flying and one landed? Lol. Seriously, nice work. Mines coming along slowly but will be flying either mounted on a table top stand or on the wall using a tv wall mount with those articulating arms.

I’m nearly done with my Falcon... how are you all displaying your models? I’ve added the landing and running lights but I’m not sure if I want it flying or landed....

I’m also really looking forward to photographing this thing, too!

Absolutely beautiful work! Well done sir (y) For myself, I pretty much lean towards landed displays of my builds. It allows one to show off more lighting. I did mine up with the Shapeways extra landing gear pieces (ESB) so I've got 5 gear wells lit and I also got the Shapeways corridor piece for the top of the boarding ramp with R2 at the top. Just a matter of personal preference though.

Thanks,

Looked into that already. Too much of an imposition for my 2 Japanese "locals" and shipping to a hotel with my volatile schedule is asking for trouble. I'm just trying to catch one in a shop on a good exchange rate day.

Try Amazon Japan. If available there, they can deliver to a nearby convenience store. Show up at Lawson's and show them the Amazon barcode they'll email you when it's delivered and collect your package. Shipping in Japan is typically 1 or 2 days. *IF* for some reason you do not pick it up, they ship it back and you get refunded.
