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*
The BMF is not meant to be a display model. It is really designed like a playset. It has a ton of play value with lights, sounds, and action gimmics.
I agree with some of the others that are saying it's really an excuse for Dad to get the BMF.
I totally did that with my 5 year old daughter last year. Don't get me wrong she really likes Star Wars a lot, but she never would have thought to get it if I had not asked her if it was something she wanted. I got it for her at Walmart on super clearance for $36, and it was a surprise for her as an end of the school year "job well done" present."
I just like having it even if it's not part of my collection, and i am glad I could get it for her. It's really hers as I don't tell her what she can or cannot do with it. It's in her toyroom and I don't even touch it.
