Here is my short review of the new Mill. Falcon.
LIKES: -Voices sound cool. -Lights are sweet. -Auto ramp is awesome. -Pod is cool. -Cockpit... fits 4 figures...which is cool -Its huge and heavier compared to the old school version. -Best Chewbacca to date. DISLIKES: -Stickers are cheap as in quality. -Landing gear doesn’t fit tight. May have to glue them. -They could have given us more rooms. The space is there. -SFX...not that great....they could have been better probably my biggest pet peeve. -The chess hologram monsters don't stay in the holes very well, again I may have to glue them in. -Han Solo's arms suck ass. They remind me of the 21st century arms that you have to twist at an angle to get them in position you want. -No air masks. Which would have been it more complete. -Is it worth $150...hmmm...no...$100....yea. What do you guys think those who have one?

I say it's worth the $150 because I've seen other $100 toys and they don't come close to offering what this one does. But I think you're right on a lot of it. The landing gear have issues, and so does the cockpit on mine (doesn't lift high w/out coming off... bgut that's fine because it plays better off) My Chess pieces seem to fit ok but the top cannon is very loose and needs glue (like one of the landing struts) Hasbro could have done a little more quality control but I still think it's the best $150 value. I also think the masks will come w/an Empire Strikes back version (Hoth Han and Leia and ESB sounds/phrases) And until you get this thing up next to your figures, you really can't tell just how huge this toy really is... it's awesome!

The good feeling I have overall with this purchase is that it will push the support for a future Terrordrome or even a Joe base.

I feel the same way. Hasbro seems to look at everything as a whole and if something works well with one group of toys that will carry over to another group... for example... Galaxy Heroes to SuperHero Squad to Robot Heroes to Combat Heroes... If a big ticket item works for Starwars then they'll be more likely to try that with G.I.Joe ot TF... same with mighty muggs.... If the BMF sales like crazy then we'll see big joe Items... If it sits on the shelf and goes to clearance, well Hasbro will just look at that and say "big ticket items don't sale" Isn't that what they've been saying about big items for years???

You nailed it bro! If Hasbro looses money on these huge vehicles you can just kiss the Terrordrome goodbye. Hasbro is taken the risk with these huge Star Wars vehicles because they feel they can't loose on this line. So I'm sure if sales on these vehicles make a killin, then I'm sure they would be more inclined to look at other popular Hasbro lines like a G.I. Joe base or Cobra Terrordrome.

Here are a few quick pics I took with my son about 1 hour ago. I'll try to set some nice pics later as soon as my kids and nephews go to sleep. These pics where to get a feel for the ship.
