Really 50% snap together model kit, and 50% toy. I think it's really cool! Snapped it together in minutes, added a black wash (and pastels on the engine grills) to "dirty" it up, and I end up with a very nice little display piece. Comes with light up engines and three different sound effects. (though admittedly they sound cheesy)

It's a pre-paint snap model kit. You don't even have to use a knife to cut parts off as there are no sprues. Great for kids or adults that just want something easy to put together.



Better Force Awakens kits are being made in Japan, but they are not allowed to export them anymore.

The fastest flying saucer in a galaxy . . . far, far away!

I think ILM nicknamed it the "Hamburger".

I do wish the kit came with an optional round radar dish. It snapped on anyway, so why not offer a choice? In fact they would probably sell twice as many kits just so ppl could have both versions.

Only thing I like so far about TFA, is the good old Millennium Falcon. Practically the same other than the radar dish.

Looks neat if a bit small. Revell has a bigger version for bigger bucks though. Years ago the older, big ass Falcon model was one I never got to look right.


This might be one for me to pick up, and maybe the Tie Fighter too.

The Falcon is approx. 8.5 inches long X 6 inches wide. Bigger and more accurate than an ornament. Not as expensive as a larger kit.

It's a flame job short of the hopped-up Tie fighter in the "Family guy" Star Wars edition.
