    honestly though, now that it's ony available through secondary sources, it's one of those things that's hard to put a value on. The opportunity to have one, and the space to display it are priceless as it is. like a classics cliffjumper with upgrade set but not quite as severe. opportunity gone.
    hehe, yeah, I totally would've at 200% + but hindsight's always 20-20, isn't it? GP recently mentioned that with the new Millenium Falcon too, I wasn't too sure but maybe I should've when we had that Myer One deal on top of 20%.

    I see the Falcon kind of like a Fort Max to most TF fans. It becomes that grail that you want so bad b/c even though it's large and clunky but it is a special milestone in one's collection. Sure, different collectors might have different goals like say Lio-Kaiser, Predaking or Star Saber / Leo Victory etc but everyone knows Fort Max is the primary grail. The Falcon I reckon is similar.

    And yeah, space is a killer too with these things. I'm having a look at the new large Star Wars ship that will likely be part of next year's sale and as great as it looks, it's huge. Not sure if I could find space for it

    I would not expect the same markup. The Shuttle is far from as iconic as the Falcon.

    I remember that, it seemed so much at the time, I thought you were nuts. If I had my time again, with Christmas layby too ect.. I'd probably jump at it.

    I have the new (small) one on layby at myer but I think I'll cancel it. I'm just not sure it is cool enough.

    I think the new one is awesome. Haven't built it yet, but should be a fun build, and has a very cool, playset interior.
