200p Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 With this new Star Wars film, and another chance to buy a mint Millennium Falcon, we could bring them back out in 20-30 years time, and et viola! A house deposit! 1979 Millennium Falcons are selling for about £200 to £400 on ebay, and they are not in mint condition. The original 1979 price was $29.99 according to http://www.starwars.com/news/the-vintage-vault-revisiting-kenners-millennium-falcon E.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAR-WARS-PALITOY-MILLENIUM-FALCON-vintage-Kenner-FIGURE-toys-1979-ESB-EMPIRE-/231613456395?hash=item35ed3ce00b:g:cFkAAOSwg3FUpRhl New Force Awakens Millennium Falcon £92 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4253853.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59156|cid:189934165|agid:18074225245|tid:pla-151105172485|crid:77627767765|nw:g|rnd:5740718136283301130|dvc:c|adp:1o1&gclid=CNyZn7Gr4skCFRW3Gwodm1MM7g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely when closed the gun barrels are pointing back into the spaceship, or does it fly along in that configuration ? I suppose hanging upside down doesn't matter in Zero G.

Guest eight Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 There's a Lego Millennium Falcon (the 'UCS' version) that started out at £200 that now sells for £2000+ on eBay and Lego collector sites. Same for a version of the Death Star too. Did anybody see that documentary about Lego that was on C4 a few months back? It was strangely unsettling.

Guest eight Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yes, I saw it. Unsettling as in it was a bit like they were working for a cult? Yes a cult, exactly. Although it might be a great company to work for I suppose, getting paid to mess around with Lego all day. They were all just a bit shiny eyed and evangelical. As for those high rent city innovation hub things, that looked like pure hubris, even if they are making money hand over fist. The adult collectors were tragic, especially since they were lampooned by the company themselves in The Lego Movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
