We bought one for my Son last year. He was 3. He plays well with it and re-creates scenes from the movies with every possible Star Wars incarnation. We've had Ventress locked up by Han Solo. We've even had C-3PO fly the Falcon. He has never been anything but gentle with it. Sure, he can't fly it around, but it makes for hours of play time.

You don't know that, mate. When I was 4, the phantom menace line had just come out. I made sure to take care of my toys very carefully, even though I was young. I really enjoyed playing with the Queen Amidala's Starship, for one thing. Just because I was young didn't mean I was abusive to my toys or anything, and same probably goes for this child.
In my mind, I think its good that kids have things like that to play with, too. A lot of the Joe collectors talk about having cool stuff when they were kids and enjoying playing with them, like the FLAG and the Defiant. Seems a bit hypocritical to talk about how kids today would just ruin toys that are, in most cases, more sturdily build. Being only 13 now, I speak from current and recent experience. IMO, let the kid have his toy. He'll probably have fun with it, and if not, its really not our business to decide whether he should or shouldn't have it, is it? |

While I was browsing at Tru last black Friday, I saw a guy with his 4 year old son and the dad asked "would you like that Millenium Falcon?" and the kid said yeah and the dad happily picked it up.
The Millenium Falcon is really meant as a display model, I dont think its really meant for kids under 8. I almost felt bad for that Falcon going home to certain doom at the hands of a 4 year old. I dont know exactly how much it sold for on black friday but I'm sure it was still way out of my budget. And this falcon is more likely going to look like its been ambushed by a squadron of tie fighters in about 2 days after the kids get done playing with it. And left neglected and broken after the kid gets tired of it. *sigh* |

When that kid is as old as we are now that Falcon will be his version of the Flagg. Maybe it'll be something that really makes some great memories for him of his Father. The two of them putting it together, putting all the stickers on it and stuff. That is one cool Dad in my book. Chances are that kid will never forget that moment.

What could a grown man possibly do with a falcon, some party liquor, a room at the motel 6, and 2 escorts?
That sounds more interesting and more fun |
