New Image of Takara Tomy Star Wars Powered By Transformers Millennium Falcon

So... it hadn't occurred to me... are the Darth Vader Tie Advanced and the Falcon to scale? also... I feel that Falcon really needs a good dry brush wash to pick all that panel detail out. Also a missed opportunity to do the Solo (Lando?) version with a bonus escape pod/bonus accessory. (though I'm sure these were in production before Solo was finalized).

Back to scale briefly... how big are these guys? I know they're not cheap.

That Falcon looks like it shat itself

to be honest the one from years ago looked better

His release date is that soon?

Got a payment request from amiami for the Falcon today, so he is out and available.

Also, just happened upon this video as I was perusing Takara/Tomy's youtube channel.

I absolutely cannot wait to get this guy. I am so stoked

It's funny that we keep getting these things that no one is really asking for (Street fighter, Star Wars, Star Trek crossovers), but not the things that people really clamor for. Even Prime 3.0 wasn't really high on people's list. It seems to me people are happy we are getting it (I am super hyped for it myself) but would rather have newer MPs. Same for things like the PotP Dinobots, happy we got them, just not the update that we were looking for. I think the Millennium Falcon figures look awesome and I like how they integrated both characters. I just feel it's a little odd they are doing all these other things while the main toy line (PotP) and the main(?) cartoon series (PotP) are lackluster. I hope the new trilogy coming out really has some good stuff in it.

This set looks incredible!!!

the only crossovers with transformers i like is GI JOE the first crossover and wish they would have done more with toys like with marvel and star wars i get the idea of starwars and some of it is pretty neat but why does it need to be
with GI JOE its more feasible because they exist in the same universe
and now with Star Trek OMG why its illogical

To me it seems to go together with Star Trek, since they go around exploring all types of different worlds they could eventually run into Cybertron, since Earth exists in both universes. Maybe it was contact with the Cybertronians that lead to the development of warp drive technology years before on Earth. A party from Cybertron looking for the Ark and the Autobots landed on Earth, made contact with the government, shared technology, couldn't find them, left to keep searching, and eventually Star Trek happened.
As for Star Wars, being from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, perhaps in the golden age of Cybertron, when they were exploring different worlds, maybe they came in contact with the Star Wars galaxy. Shared their technology. Created a boom there. Some Transformers got in with the Jedi, others with the sith. Jedi and sith have a war that destroyed much of the Galaxy, using the Transformers technology to help them. Since the Transformers had been a peaceful race at this time, they left that galaxy for the most part. Some of the contingent stayed behind as robots in disguise, not yet willing to give up on them yet. They eventually meet up with the original trilogy heroes, revealing themselves and offering help to topple the empire, while others became corrupt from time spent with the Empire and now want to rule the Galaxy with them.
