Its a shame Han never knew there was a big dumb Nerf cannon in his ship. He could have put the Death Star's eye out.
HAHAHA!!!!
Wahahahahahahahaha
Kenner: We really do care.
Hasbro: We really don't care.
The Solo movie Falcon makes this look like Legacy Falcon quality.
Me: "Well Hasbro you should. Because galaxy of adventures 5 inch figures are *FAILING* Meanwhile Kenner, you get a double triple A+++. No fail or complicated failure measures there except with the last couple 17 figures from power if the force line in 1985."
Hasbro should've stuck to old school. Adding a Nerf system to this ship was a waste. If only 3rd party can create a square radar dish to fit the kenner version, that'll be great.
Hasbro should be so ashamed of themselves on so many fronts these days
They really should.
For what they were charging, they could have reissued the one from 2008.
I feel that Hasbro has dropped the ball ever since they stopped producing their Vintage Collection figures. Everything seems more expensive & the quality of the plastic, head sculpts, paint apps & even thei 6 inch figures are a bit disappointing.
I think kids in the future won't look back on this falcon like we do with the original falcon.
Kenner in 1979 managed to outdo Hasbro in 2016. This looks so much worse than the vintage one in every way! The light grey plastic alone turns me off! The Legacy Collection one was a masterpiece and a real improvement on the vintage one, but this just seems so much worse than the vintage.
Thanks for sharing - Truly terrible - even at the reduced cost it's hard to justify - cheap mass produced tat - how upset would any purchaser be if they'd payed full price!!!
Got mine on rollback at Walmart for my son's birthday for $79.99. He loves it. The nerf gun, action sounds and play value are good for a seven year old. May not be great for hardcore collectors of Star Wars, but give it to the kids, they'll love it. Finding figures to help my kid get a nice selection is been a challenge. Too much hoarding play things that were meant for children. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad he is happy with it. I just find things like the gun popping up and bits falling off all the time very frustrating. And I know as a child these would have put me off playing with it.
+Toy Polloi Haven't had the same issue that you have had. Fun to relive the excitement of Star Wars with the next generation.
A better solution of BB-8 would've been to put a magnet in its head and make the body metal
Nice honest review.
What would you say is the best version of the falcon to go for for under £100?
Even as a kid I didn't like these sort of toys with giant over-the-top cannons and such. I always wanted toys that were screen accurate so I could replay the scenes.
You just saved me 40 quid;-)
That's great. Not sure what I am going to do with this now. Maybe I should take it back :D
+Toy Polloi maybe offload it to a poor unsuspecting neice or nephew:-)
I'm not that mean.
Got mine at a car boot sale in Wales for £2, this toy has too many unecassery gimmicks to justify the price tag. They seem to price them for collectors rather than for children. The original figure line I could afford with my £1.50 pocket money, now they're about £12! Rediculous
Today (July 13th) is actually Harrison Ford's birthday and you just so happen to be reviewing Han Solo's ship. Hmm. Coincidence? Or maybe you're just that strong with the Force. Thank you for the review. It really makes me appreciate my 2004 Hasbro OTC Falcon. "The Force will be with you, always."
So glad i have the legacy version, hard to believe just how far the quality has fallen since disney got their hands on the franchise
Great review. After purchasing the Legacy Collection Falcon, I've avoided the other Falcons released afterwards.
I must have a revised version, as the top part never pops up on it's own, and the quad cannon sounds are totally different. It sounds like the movie ones.
Great review. Just wondering how does the new radar dish fit on the old Kenner Falcon? Thanks.
You could probably modify it to fit. But even the dish is not made very well.
Thank you for the review! If I see this, even for clearance prices, I'll think twice before spending the money. We'll stick with the Legacy Falcon for my son and the vintage one for me.
not worth the money!,even for 40 pounds i still think the kenner original or the potf version is better.if you want sound fx you can get the hasbro rerelease of the kenner one that have sound fx
The original falcon by Kenner and the legacy/ vintage collection falcon are the only ones worth buying
but thanks for enlightening us, at least you stop people wasting money, much appreciated!
100% agree with your review. For freaking $120, that engine better light up with LEDs in the back! They produced the FAR superior BMF (Big Millennium Falcon) for around the exact same price. It was HUGE, featured amazing electronics, even had an opening entrance ramp with a fully-lit engine and headlights, including cockpit interior lights as well. THAT was the height of Hasbro's ingenuity and fan-service. You covered all the CONS of this ship well, but it's just doesn't surprise me to see all the corners Hasbro keeps on cutting. They had an infinite amount of time before the release of the movie to get their toys right and they chose less articulation, crappier sculpting and plastics, lame cardbacks and artwork and inexplicably threw NERF into everything rather than include cool electronic features like most companies do in 2016. It's just a general and overall regression in the greatest of toy lines and I can't be more displeased with the company's mishandling of such a classic and cherished line. I won't buy anything from Hasbro now.
After seeing this I'm very glad I still have my vintage Falcon, in the new I like the colors and stickers and if I wanted to I could replicate them in my vintage ship, so the only that looks nice it's the new interior... and NO LANDING GEAR !!!????
I have the 90s Power of the Force Falcon but I'm thinking about buying the, I think it was OTC, that was the last use of that old Kenner mold but also added a removable console in the cockpit and made it a little deeper so modern figures would fit inside a little better, and added actual engine lights in the back, along with some other minor improvements, I think the back section cover and the boarding ramp have additional latches so they close a bit more securely as well.
This honestly doesn't seem too bad in terms of play value, but it's definitely barely worth £40, let alone £120.
Hasbro should have rereleased the Legacy Falcon from a few years ago. It was superb and worth the money, it would have been toy of the year! This is awful, if someone gave me this for free I still would have hated it.
Im sure the kids it's aimed at would enjoy the toy & it's play features.
I think they would. But the gun popping up and bits falling off could also frustrate them. And for £120 I would expect a really nice well made toy. This is certainly not that.
Love my legacy falcon more and more every day!
Screen accurate or not, they got the Falcon right the first time round. The first re-release in 95 did a good job because they didn't change too much but didn't include the training remote for some reason. When all is said and done i think i'll stick to the vintage. I was looking at one of these, i'm glad i didn't get one now.
its shocking that a company like disney or hasbro who are meant to be all about the kids would let something this bad be released.. this comes down to the classic "its just for kids they won't care" this toy would have annoyed me as a kid and i'd have ended up permanently sealing down all those pop up parts and probably not using the sound effects since i used to liked doing the sound effects myself. also it might just be me but the scale of those figures is all off.. even as a kid it would have bothered me.. they should be more like 3 inch or 2 inch figures.
Is it the same size as the Kenner Falcon? could you possibly donate parts and the sound effects from this to an old crippled Kenner Falcon?
Having now taken this apart, the sound board would be easy to remove and fit into and old kenner ship. And I think the radar dish could be modified to fit.
My mate owns a shop he had to sell these off at a steep discount just to get rid of them he no longer stocks any force awakens toys because they are overpriced and poor quality the nerf darts were the last straw
Can u list the name of site you got this from ? I didn't catch the name on the video...
Argos
Very sad to see their QC has dwindled downwards :( If you have some time, could you do a review on the Solo Tie fighter? I want to purchase one but am not sure due to QC. Thank you.
You only need one falcon: the original Kenner version...
Thanks for this review, I can't believe how cheaply this falcon was made. I'll stick to my Kenner vintage falcon it's built to last.
great reivew , glad you didn't pay full price for it but I still think £40 was pushing it too. honestly £26 probably would of been a reasonable price point for it
Probably a good scale with Mission Fleet figures. Can’t believe the RRP was £129
Also, compare this Millennium Falcon to the TVC one and it's pretty laughable
Agreed, especially with all that pop-up nonsense. A third-party radar dish to swap out and you're good to go.
gotta say despite the flaws, if i find it cheap enough in the states, I'll get one, mostly because i need a falcon for my collection
Yea so glad I never bought this ship.
Thanks for the review
The sculpt is good. Regarding the NERF Bullets that came with it. (Even though I'm not a big fan of NERF stuff on Star Wars toys) They could of added more Nerf bullets for the Original retail price. Those bullets are not expensive.
Hasbro has kinda cheaping out with everything lately. Kinda makes me sad.
If I may add, retail of that toy in my part of the world was 5,000 Philippine Pesos. It would be roughly over $100 US.
Can’t wait to see what you think of the new “Solo” Falcon.......I’m amazed Hasbro think they can sell that for £100
From what I have seen of it, it looks half finished on Hasbros part. If I can find one cheap I would like to get one to do some customising on. give it a decent set of stickers to start with. It just look boring.
Time to customize/fix some parts of this. I think you could do great things with this, I'm interested in seeing you fix the troubles of it, because I saw on FB you have already taken it apart.
A video coming soon on the main issue I had, the top gun.
It’s really not that bad, and I loved the original with all my heart. Mine doesn’t pop up all the time
how much is 1/12 scale tie fighter going over here in states that falcon is much cheaper
What a piece of junk!
LMAO brilliant comment!!
crushingalldeceivers you need your comment pinned
Millennium Falcon 1.0 (IV-VI
Millennium Falcon 1.1 (VII-IX)
Millennium Falcon 2.0 (Solo)
The over size gun is what killed it !!! How SAD :(
She may not look like much and doesn’t have it where it counts, kid.
Welcome to the future 40 quid seems reasonable if you leave it on the shelf and NEVER touch it Chewie looks cheesed off Pretty reasonable looking wookie He is such an iconic character 😂
what an awful toy. thank you for your service.
Send it back directly to Hasbro with a link to your channel!
I will send both this review and the fix video to them. I did the same with the X-wing. I never got a response.
I don't suppose you will. However your love and passion for these toys is evident and they should listen.
I managed to fix the top gun. Video up very shortly. I will also be sending that video to Hasbro.
+Toy Polloi nice one...thanks for your brilliant channel! would you ever look at an original evel Knievel stunt cycle as a project???
Thanks :D I don't have Evel, but if I find one cheap I'll get it and see what I can do. I remember playing with him as a kid. It was a great toy. Are they expensive now?
More Force Awakes toys oh dear Dave, you should watch your older videos and practice what you preach "Am not going to buy any more Force Awakes toys". lol good review any way. The middle section always popping up doesn't happen on mine wonder if there is a fault with yours. Know a lot of people had problems with the nerf gun not firing.
+No1.StarWarsFan I know! But I do like toys and still get tempted. I haven't bought a new sw toy that hasn't been a disappointment. I think this really is the last. On the plus side, I have now fixed it. Video coming soon. But for £120 I shouldn't have had to take it apart.
"I know! But I do like toys and still get tempted" Yer I know what you mean. agree 120 for this is a real rip off 40 is ok. Got Han and Finn in Stormtrooper outfit a couple of weeks ago they look good. Be the last now unless they release Luke and Leia.
Sadly after the clone wars line of toys hasbro has jumped ship with no articulation on toys and poor overall toy quality
What's that Canadian? Toys R us has them 4 $149.99
Nice.
I heard another problem with this toy is unlike the original Kenner version, your figures cant fit standing up when put the roof back on.
I saw this on Amazon for 45 quid, but didn't buy it because of reviews criticizing the inability for the figures to be able to stand up within the toy when it was closed up.
It's certainly not the best falcon to get.
I don't know, what about the one we got from the Solo Movie?
I never even saw that one at retail. So can't comment.
Would it have killed them to include Rey? I mean, she actually FLEW the Falcon.....Is the cockpit in scale with the rest of the model? Looks a bit large?
I thought that as well. The combinations should have been chewie/rey/bb8, or rey/finn/bb8. For £120 they should have put four figures in.
I don’t get the whole cannon gun popping up from the ships shell. This didn’t happen in the movie .
You should restore a Legacy Falcon
Got mine for $20 at the 99 cent store.
I got this on clearance and I too think the nerf gun is a ridiculous addition that's resources could have been used better in the toy.But the Deluxe Falcon is too big so It looks like this is the one for me.
I just got one for a ten quid! Your right not as good as the old one..
I wouldn’t even pay 4 quid for that let alone 40!! But £120!!!??? Hasbro should be ashamed for ripping off fans!!
it did not pop up for me
DISNEY: Value for money? What the hell's that?
CUSTOMER: It's if the item is worth the money; is it suitable for purpose, well made... Why are you laughing?
DISNEY: You're funny. It's as if you think that we give a tinker's cuss about people who pay for our product. As long as the cash rolls in, that's good enough for us. Make it to a price we like, we told Hasbro. Kid's will buy any old crap if it says 'Star Wars' on the box. If it breaks, then they buy another. Simple as that. We're Disney, and we don't really care.
The best toy company went under (Kenner) shame . Mattel and Hasbro just care about profit , really bad quality in that falcon , I took back my X wings and got a refund .
Blood hell that's awfull
The cheek of Hasbro to ask 120 for that.
It's not even worth 40 i'd feel robbed if I paid 40 for that
Its maybe worth 20, if that.
that blows, quality seems to be missing these days
All of the TFA toys from HAsbro have been like this. Very poor quality.
Hi Dave. great vid. shame about the toy...OMG, what have they done to the falcon. Hasbro's version of this is terrible. im so glad i got my original kenner.
I think this is the last modern Hasbro SW I will buy. I have said that before, but they just seem to get worse and worse.
the same man who designed this falcon, Mark Boudreaux, also designed the original.
Interesting. I think it's the type of materials and QC that let this done.
Toy Polloi it would seem so. hopefully it's a case of just rushing product to market, but from what i hear about hasbro lately this is typical. still, a falcon with landing gears is just being a cheap-ass company. this design just doesn't make any sense at all....
It really poor quality, it's like they've taken one of the old micro machine play sets from the 90s and just enlarged it. I've see KO toys of better quality.
Not that I'd ever buy it, but I wonder if you could use any of it to mod a Kenner or pof falcon to make it more force awakens accurate, eg the deflector dish. Though £40 is a bit expensive for a mod ha ha
Still terribly expensive at £40.00. Mind you it’d be a expensive at £20!
I just don't like the nerf feature, why add something that's not even in the movie? it doesn't stop with this falcon though, the new A wing toy featured at SDCC has a nerf feature added, see here nerdist.com/hasbros-new-star-wars-toys-coming-to-sdcc-exclusive/
That looks awful. But not a surprise.
Glad I didn't get one vintage is best 😂
Damn, Hasbro really have gone down witht their designs, even their 30inch figures are a tad disappointing.
Just when you think you hate this one ,they came out with the Solo version . SMH
I did try to get that version as well to review, but never saw it in any shops near me. Even online it seemed hard and expensive to find.
Thanks for this review,I was going to grab one for my son but in my eyes it's not even worth £40! Very poor quality and looks like it wouldn't last 5 mins😕 biggest piece of junk in the Galaxy!
At least it lives up to it's name.
As goofy as the firing missiles are, I have to admit it looks like this has more actual play value in the section meant for figures than the vintage/PotFII Falcon toys I grew up with and would I have loved that aspect as a kid. (on the same front this cockpit works much better for two figures than the original mold did for PotFII figures)
I have the OTC one, much better.
Shame on Hasbro! But they don't really give..
The the??
great review toy polloi. I wont be buying this.
"What a piece of junk!" - Luke Skywalker
You would have to pay me to take this piece of trash.
So disappointing...Great review on a not so great toy...
Hasbro just make a nerf gun!
Such a terrible toy. Not worth the rebate prize. Hasbro has lowered the quality of Star Wars toys too much. Such a shame.
looks really poor, why don't they just make accurate replicas!
Pants
Disney are killing starwars
Looks weird
Disney
#NotMyStarWars.
Ughhh this is Disney for you. A shame.
That thing is horrible. You think with today's manufacturing equipment they could have made a more accurate toy with the passenger compartment in the correct area and those ridiculous 'gun' are just plain stupid. It might as well be one of those baby star wars toys with the oversized figures that ride on the outside.
I gave up collecting figures about a decade ago cause I have been so disappointed in the designs that are out now. Even the Lego Falcon is better than this.
And the DeAgostini model kit is so amazing compared to this that I couldn't even take one of these if it was given to me for free.
The huge nerf gun and pop up gun turret is unforgivable. Do yourself a favor and buy one of the old ones on eBay instead of this piece of TRASH
the more the video goes on, the more you can see its mass produced junk!
Don't by toys anymore but what a poor made toy
Mine has absolutely none of the problems you had. First you .missed many qualities and nothing pops up when I didn't want them to. You went into this wanting to prove it horrible. I have all the Kenner vintage ships and figures and come on this one blows the original Kenner which was same size but had less inside ship area and one horrible sounding battle alarm with no ship engine sounds like this,no flight sounds like this, no movie red target computer screen like this one, no broken hyperdrive sound switch like this one, hit the switch green in this one and movie sounds accurate hyperactive sounds. Yes the turret does light up when you push the correct firing button which you did not in video. Unlike the original this fits even a figure Chewbacca size all the way in gunner turret. The fold over play area isn't pointless it's more areas with steps for interior play. The original didn't have a tunnel entrance where a droid like bb8 or R2 for the original could be clipped in but this one does. The darts shoot all the way across a room and can knock over many stormtroopers and such. The back sticker on mine is smooth and perfect and I've seen 9 others and all where placed perfectly. This one has a sick bay bed which the original also did not have! The flight engine sounds are perfectly synchronized for motion activation and take off and landing sounds also sound accurate. With lights,sounds,play areas,3 figures, and the working hyperdrive,red target turret screen,and sick bed, tunnel sculpt entrance,and more tell me how the old original with much less inner play space, no lights,no engine sounds, no sick bay,no firing lights,no figures,no hyperdrive sounds,no missiles to fire....how is the 1979 better???.come on I'm 44 years old bloke and I had the early bird Kenner figure certificate when I was a kid to get the first 4 figures eventually when they were mailed to me and when the Christmas of 1979 had the original Kenner falcon I loved it but having them side by side I'm telling you the new one is a major update with still being true to that original nostalgic feel. Before you write me off as a crazy old geezer please listen to this...every falcon starting with the 1979 Kenner(for those that don't know toys weren't available in 1977 yet when film came out,we had to wait!)...but this is a true trivial fact..EVERY FALCON including the original,the power of the force,the BMF of 2008, and this Force Awakens one were all designed by the same man. There was a documentary on TH-cam when this new one came out and he described how he worked for Kenner and stayed on when Hasbro absorbed them. He has made every Falcon and showed his pride in making the new one. He obviously said the BIG BMF one was his baby but that for one for kids and collectors alike he thought his new Force Awakens one captured a nice mix of being suitable for a kid to carry and handle while still maintaining sounds,lights and targets,missiles,hyperdrive,red target,interior play,etc .. it was a wonderful video. Look I appreciate you and your videos but I think you have a bad copy here and were a little negative about it going in. Same man worked hard on this one as the original he also did. I have them all and personally love this one. Sorry for novel of a message LOL.
Hideous…
