Walmart Exclusive Star Wars Hero Series Millennium Falcon

MegaPrime33 07-16-2014 07:11 AM

Does the back shell open to put the figures in there? If not it's so not worth it. I'll stick with my '77 falcon.

It doesn't open at all.

Dragasses 07-16-2014 07:43 AM

I love the look on the kids face, "man look how big this thing is!, and doesn't open up at all, you say? I won't even be able to throw it in our garbage can! I'll have to find a dumpster!"

MegaPrime33 07-16-2014 07:45 AM

I dont understand the point then. How do you play with it if it's not interactive with the figures? AND it's an exclusive??

Dragasses 07-16-2014 07:51 AM

Is hasbro still using focus groups? are there really kids who want less features? are kids involved at all? Is that thing recyclable?, because if not, hasbro and disney are just filling landfills. I try to not be the negative toy dude, but this is just silly.

Joe Moore 07-16-2014 08:02 AM

With store specific exclusives, it's likely that Hasbro was approached with a request for an exclusive, in this case, by Walmart. Toys "R" Us is the spot for more collector oriented Star Wars exclusives. Walmart would likely demand something at a lower price point.

This is about a quarter of the price of the TRU version, but fairly close to the size. It hits in time for the holiday season, so I can actually see this selling enough to justify it. Collectors will scoff at it, but parents looking for a big "wow" item will see an over 2 foot long Star Wars vehicle for $60 (and likely less as sales will be going on). I can see this being part of their Black Friday deals easily.

Bradsdadg 07-16-2014 08:03 AM

That's pretty unfortunate. Coming soon to Walmart clearance aisles near you... :P

SilverCenturion 07-16-2014 09:40 AM

Oh Face
 
That kid is giving the Millenium Falcon his "oh" face.

Haffa007 07-16-2014 09:58 AM

Photographer to Kid in pic:" Now act like this is the best present you got this Christmas"
What little kid is really thinking: "My Dad and I would kill Santa if he left us this giant POS."

JangonateTK421 07-16-2014 11:15 AM

Terrible...just terrible. Action Fleet, with its cool, tiny pilots, is ten times better than that.

At the very least, go the Guardians of the Galaxy route and give us something to put in that Millenium Falcon.

Nymesys Prime 07-16-2014 11:48 AM

kid looks like he's thinking..."What the F#CK am I supposed to do with this??"
either that or he's thinking....I thought I was getting the Avengers Falcon and you got me this?? I'd rather have socks....

jestermon 07-16-2014 02:06 PM

It does look neat, however that has a horrible expression, and that is a terrible shirt to photograph a product against very detracting.

Where's the price?

ukmu 07-16-2014 02:55 PM

Any kid would LOVE that thing.... it is huge and would look cool hung with fishing line. Wal-Mart wanted it cheap, that means single cast and no moving parts, I am guessing.

I get why you guys are bagging on it, but for the price point, it is a big wow piece. It comes in a big ass box too I am sure, kids love big boxes under the tree...... Not for us maybe, but I know my 8 year old son would be more excited than the kid in that stupid shirt if he got one. That said, I wonder about its international release? Regional exclusives are just that, since Wal-Mart has no UK, EU and very little Asian presence, I am betting we get this across the pond.

Death2Fanboys 07-16-2014 05:09 PM

I still have my Vintage Collection.

I can't believe the Disney Logo is finally on the star wars product.

Why would a kid want a Millennium Falcon in the first place? That ship wasn't even in the prequels. Besides video games that ship hasn't even been seen since 1983. Why would any kid give a rat's ass about a ship from some old movie granpa used to watch 100 years ago?

ukmu 07-17-2014 12:10 AM

my son and EVERY one of his many friends know it....

trebleshot 07-17-2014 02:05 PM

It looks great, but it feels like a vehicle version of Hasbro's Titan figures. Eh, I have other options if I ever want to get another Falcon.

Looks like he's sighing from disappointment to me. "Oh." :(

As Joe said, it's $60. It's also mentioned in the FP story. :)

I find your lack of faith disturbing....

Especially when those same kids probably saw it, too. Those movies are also incredibly easy to find on DVD and Blu-Ray. Kids could have also seen it on TV at some point, too.

The Falcon has also appeared in a lot of EU fiction and on countless pieces of Star Wars merch. It's likely one of the most famous and iconic science-fiction spaceship ever.

It has moving parts (radar dish and cannon). Just not as many as some collectors would like in their big toys. ;)

Il Cattivo 07-17-2014 05:30 PM

I still need a millennium falcon so I'll pick one up.

he'll be a display piece so I'm fine with the cockpit not opening.

I'm not sure if you are trolling or not. The thing is known by ANY kid that has grow up since the original trilogy was created. I wasn't even born when they finished but everyone I knew loved that ship and toys were always in the stores. Any decent parent shows their kids the original trilogy (hopefully first). Plus it's going to be in Episode VII and Rebels (I think).
