I do remember it, as I have built one as a kid (it must be laying somewhere half-finished), but don't remember if it had this detail. Posts about its accuracy never end good, so I didn't think more about it - now as you mentioned it, I looked for pictures, and it seems as if it really had them angled. So the oldest kit of them all is more accurate then the following, regarding this detail? Never would have thought so.

Indeed!
I know. But a Falcon deserves an accurate 1/72 rendering (not FM style though
) , so I'm waiting..! 
From what I've read, that's a quite generic LED module being sold separately, not included but the kit's been designed to be capable of mounting one. Here's their blog post about it last April: http://bandai-hobby.net/hobbyblog/2015/04/post.html

What were missing from Dengeki's report is the Spec Ops TIE and what I believe is a Dark Trooper. It appears to be the vanilla Stormtrooper kit molded in black plastic so I'll assume it's one of them hobby show exclusives. Fingers crossed they may venture into the Expanded Universe some day.

What scale is this Falcon?

It says on the card in front 1/44 or something, but that can't be right...

It is definitely 1/144
But according to the measurements, it is a couple centimetres longer than the fine molds version. I think that alone is going to make this thing look quite spectacular

You know it. Im sure Bandai actually referenced the dimensions of the new falcon. I bet the fine molds is a complete artists rendition of the original, not dimesionally accurate. if it was they would have got the front mandibles and centre section right.
Im so grateful for the pics posted above, any titbit of info i can see is such a bonus, i love this new falcon

It looks like the entire top saucer section of the Falcon is removable to be able to access the batteries and switch, since the battery cover is screwed in its module. You can see the seam run along the top of the docking ring, the front saucer perimeter and through the mandible boxes. This can be verified by the small pic on the card showing the entire saucer top off but the mandibles remain intact as a whole.

I have no need for the Shadow Trooper.
