Hello there shortly, I'll be sending my phone off to be repaired, so this'll be one of the last videos I can make like this in a while (but hopefully not long!) I just wanted to tell you all about the problem I had with my brand new Star Wars TVC Vintage Collection Galaxy's Edge Smugglers Run Millennium Falcon by Hasbro.... it's kinda faulty. Plus, in this video, I highlight a fee more differences in the quality of this new version compared to the previous BMF release in the 2008 Legacy Collection. Lemme know your thoughts. Some of you might not be fussed on such a minor defect, but in any case it's a fault and given the price this cost me, it bugs me ever so slightly. I will feedback very soon with the final resolution with this issue! NOTE: This video was filmed the DAY AFTER my initial new versus old Falcon comparison video....

@Groom Lake first thing I did bro! It was crap! Contacted them directly on live chat.. they pretty much sent me packing to my retailer. Wanted nothing to do with it! Anyway... watch my latest upload! Update on things getting sorted now... video is the one with the thumbnail of the replacement Falcon getting left on my front porch for hours when I was out!! 🤦♂️👍🏻
@Groom Lake no man, I'm with ya... I've always felt the symbiosis between Disney and Lucasfilm, having been a long time lover of WDW myself and golden memories of MGM Studios in the very early 90s. Separate issue from this Fslcon though .. reckon they need to keep up quality control. The Legacy (asides how great the new one looks) beats it hands down 👌🏼💙
I agree with the other commenter! For the price you paid, everything should work! Don't settle something that is poorly made! I'm angry and I don't even own one. And now i KNOW that i won't!
Cheers Tim.... I agree. But there's been some good news, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
It’s probably a micro switch that’s not in position. I’m guessing the soundboard is ok. If you take it apart, you’ll probably find what’s broken. The only part that might be tricky is the ramp. I’ve seen videos where guys have added mods. You should find one of their videos and ask them if they have any insight.
Also compare the two falcons. Turn them both off, carefully turn the guns from left to right and you’ll probably feel the click of the switch and hear it if you listen close. I’m guessing you won’t on your newer falcon because whatever mechanically actuates the switches is not secured. The switch might not be near the gun, it may be located at the slide lever that changes direction of the gun. The switch at one point was probably stuck in the closed position and that’s why it was going off on its own.
@@neillowery7634 can defo feel switch like almost a rubbery button... but there a connection felt when you move turret... just no sound. Some good news though, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
My collection got a huge boost in the past 2 weeks, I’m a 3.75 collector and I have around 300 figures, all mint and on the self. So I decided I needed some vehicles to display some figures on ships. So I bought this Naboo royal ship, the 1997 AT AT , and a black series AT ST, then yesterday I went on Facebook market and seen so,eons near me was selling the first of these 2 falcons, the original vintage collection falcon missing only landing gear for 200 from 250 he was asking! So I got the falcon and the other 3 are on the way! So excited mr. Kenobi
@@OnlyOneKenobi yes. I call it my haunted Millenium Falcon. I've had to resort to taking the batteries out. And I got it off of Ebay so no return options for me I still love it though but it is certainly faulty. And I'm pretty sure you and I aren't the only ones, if it is any consolation
Man... one things for damn sure... it looks GREAT! Though I managed to replace the faulty one... even if this one konks out, I'll still be happy with how it looks! 🥰👌🏼 epic
I just opened mine and it is missing the bag of porgs for that kind of money it’s frustrating it’s not complete I don’t really want to buy another one just for that cuz it’s so large to be messing with 😣
Did you try taking the batteries out and putting them back in? I had a similar issue with mine, which developed a life of it's own and then got stuck in an endless loop. Re-seated the batteries and it's been fine since.
Have done my man. Makes no difference. I only manually moved it to AVOID missiles firing! Any way you move it... via lever or by hand, there's no sound... Faulty and crap!
I'd definitely return it OOK ! It WILL niggle you forever if you don't do it now & be done with it ...... rather than waiting until years later when it's too late. Given the sound board may have failed, you would be best to get a full replacement NOW. I own the Legacy BMF & quite happy to stick with it - though find it strange that with Hasbro using the same mould/castings for most of the parts has resulted in some variance in those hinged parts ! I bought my Legacy BMF 2nd hand (Loose, Complete with the box) and it already had the nose parts installed (and it travelled fine from another State here in Australia) - so I know it CAN be packed up with the nose in place but use a lot of extra padding around the nose & use a VERY large oversized box.

Man! thanks for pointing that out! My wife just ordered me one from Target last night for my bday. I’ll be testing the hell out of this! Glad target is only a few mins away from me in case I have to return it. Hope you get a better replacement!

Collection looks great mate! I’m a collector myself, not yet on your scale, but I don’t think I could get to your point. I see you have the sail barge! Awesome! I wanted that so bad but being on disability from a fall of a ladder and then got hit by a drunk driving illegal immigrant! But I could never afford 500 buck for a barge ! I was lucky enough on my birthday of all days sept 1st just a few weeks ago found a legacy falcon for 200 without landing gear! SCORE! But I got about 250 figures, a legacy falcon , the Naboo royal ship back when I could still work! An AT AT p.o.t.f. , AT ST Black series, the skiff and a few other single pilot vehicles. But I do have 10 lightsabers from before my accident both of Luke’s sabers and 8 others ! All from ultrasaber so there all great quality!
Now I don’t mean to sound like a charity case.. I could have bought a barge I just would have had to save a couple months. So I got to keep an early eye out for the next one... but thanks for your reading it. And always stay strong with the force! Happy hunting
Be interesting to see the new one if the niggles are better with hatches and cockpit alignment. My legacy cockpit cover did the same your new Falcon does.
Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! If and when I get a new one, be interesting to see how it performs!.... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Here are some tips. Make sure you are using new alkaline batteries.. If the batteries are old or weak it will make electronics do weird things, especially sound boards. Take the batteries out for a few minutes and reinstall them, maybe that will reset the soundboard. If it still doesn't work it may be a loose connection. I don't think its a problem with the sound board itself since it still makes the sound from the button. I hope that fixes the soundboard issues. Regardless I think Hasbro should step in and fix the other issues, those are some serious quality control issues with something that costs this much. I hope this helps.
Trust me, I've triple checked those batteries. All fresh too. 😕 But anyway, since making this video, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
When you move to the side of the Galaxies Edge MF it looks bigger than the Legacy MF for some reason! Must be the camera angles messing with me? There seem to be lots of problems when they go and use the mold again for a new batch things not working and latching properly!!! New ways to wire things with alternate sounds and a way to switch them back and forth electronics is a fickle thing!
Yep. . I could only use my wide angle camera.... makes things look elongated slightly (depending on angle) My other doesn't focus. Just sent it off to be fixed in fact. Also....Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi!

I just purchase one and the quad cannon worked once and stopped. Then the damndest thing a few days later it started working again. I can't explain it.
Oh no Robert.... 😔 I'm sorry to hear this! And honestly... this video is becoming a hub for those who have had problems too.... So, I managed to return mine, hiq about you? Are you in a position to return what you got? Thank you for commenting! 😉 O.O.K 💙👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi That's the odd part. It started working again. It's still working. I'm glad you managed to return yours though. Did you get a replacement or just a refund and call it good with your Legacy Falcon?
Really?.. tell me what they were! Now that was one I had no issues with because I'd never even touched the previous release let alone owned it. So was it a mould issue?....
Only One Kenobi not a mold issue, just missing parts from the factory. I’ve also had a few black series showing up lately with cracks in the plastic near some joints
You need to reach out to Hasbro for sure. I just got a used 2008 Legacy and refurbished it and weathered it and it’s a solid built vehicle. The new one should have been done the same. Keep up the great videos!
Sorted now. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Only One Kenobi that’s great to hear! I opted to purchasing a 2008 Legacy which I had to refurbish and then I weathered it. Turned out pretty good I think. I grew up a huge SW fan and have a lot of figures and toys and just started to getting I to collecting so thank you for all your videos!
The other way to activate those sounds is to use the little slider next to the escape pod: it's on the opposite side to those three sound buttons. Does sliding that up and down help at all? Hope you can get this sorted. I also got mine from Comic & Cocktails and I've been delighted so far.
Hey Colin. .. yeah man tried each and every option to bring life into that mechanism, but I guess it's just plain faulty. Good news though, Sorted now.

With the amount of money these things retail for, you'd expect them to work properly! Hasbro has some serious quality control issues! Great comparison video, mate👍💫
I work at a Target store and I bought one online, 312.50 grand total after 10% employee discount, 5% Red Card discount, and a coupon they issued with the Red Card of 50.00 off any purchase over 100.00, and free shipping as well. I'm very sorry you're having those issues. I had a vintage Kenner Falcon as a child and I remember how exciting that ship was. And, prior I had made a cardboard box into very crude looking Falcon to get by with my imagination until I finally got one.
Sorry you had issues with your falcon. I'm glad to hear that things are being handled though and I hope you get your replacement soon, issue free! I also hope my falcon, which comes this Wednesday is also issue free. $400 is a lot of money for this and it should operate as intended. Take care and I look forward to your future videos.
I got this for Christmas and I love it. However....... Like yours, mine has a mind of its own. It will randomly fire up. Day and night. It will lie dormant for hours and then suddenly. On go the lights and the thing starts up. I have removed 1 battery to stop this happening. Otherwise it is a beautiful thing to own. 👍
I just got mine yesterday and it was missing parts. It was missing a piece from the dejaric set and it came with two right mandibles and no left one. Luckily target agreed to send me a new one for free, hopefully it comes complete.
If it bothers you, then see if you can get it fixed/replaced. I personally wouldn't much care about the turret sounds not working, but that's just me. It's probably a shorted out micro switch in the turret. I was betting until the Galaxys Edge BMF actually got announced that they were going to leave the sounds and lights out and just go nuts with the paint job. Anyway, thanks for the great videos... I still want the BMF, but it's good to see what having one is really like. Thanks for all the info
Sorted now Chris. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
After paying that kind of money, deffo would not be something to live with. There is a way to remove the mandibles, which involves basically unscrewing the front of the Falcon, there is a Spanish dude who did a TH-cam video showing the disassemble of a Legacy Falcon. It absolutely sucks this has happened to you, although I do love having electronics in my ships/vehicles, it does cross my mind about things such as this happening.
Cheers for the comment. No way I'll be messing around with taking it apart, so I'll just wait for the return label (which Comics and Cocktails have kindly offered) and I'll just have to improvise with additional cardboard to cover front....
SEND IT BACK. Those type of things bug the hell out of me and I can see that it's the same for u. I feel your pain and I hope that for both our sakes Zavvi come through.
Hey man... you may have seen coz I've been posting.... Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Moving the turret by hand is not probably good for it. I would use the slide tab if the smugglers has the same set up as legacy. That's also my 2 cents:). Still should not be breaking as its a kids toy!!
Yeah but I'm sure you appreciate that it broke before I'd even staring using the thing! I was only demonstrating that it didn't work by either movement of turret.... by hand or by slider. I totally agree though, it shouldn't be breakable in any form given it's a toy. I just wanted to be clear this was no fault of my own (the thing breaking) by moving turret by hand. It left the factory faulty no doubt. All cleared up now though....got a replacement etc! 👌🏼😉 O.O.K
Hey Whit... Yeah, sadly not man. I've triple checked with multiple batteries, all fresh (from Costco so I've loads) but the error is just specific to that sound and mechanism. Really strange. Comics and Cocktails have offered to ship it back and refund though which is great, plus I think I've managed to get another via Zavvi here in the UK... so reckon I'll just get shut of this one now. Postage is gonna be weird with the two claws sticking out of the original box! 😂
Fortunately I haven’t noticed any issues with the Smugglers Run Falcon that I received. I also had a Legacy Falcon from 2008. The only differences I could tell were the paint and wash application, update to the decal set (so are completely different, others recolored), figures and additional radar dish. Quality seems the same as best as I can tell. I’ve owned two Legacy falcons and the paint application on those two were not 100% consistent. So yes...the Smugglers Run is my third one lol.
Hello, did you try activating the cannon from the lever on the hatch of the escape pod? in my legacy when it remains to one side and the barrel in the center does not activate the mechanism until the lever is in the center Sorry for my bad english
No worries ☺ your English is good! 👍 Yes I tried side switch and even different batteries... it's just faulty. Some good news though. Sorted now.

Looking at this clip mate, one fault I could maybe live with it. But you have a few there, so I would send it back. The other variant of the falcon you have seems a superior vehicle. Great clip though again buddy.

Hi. There are very easy things you can do to strengthen the hinges and stop them popping out..I got these tips from toy polloi (if you're interested). Just add a few drops of clear super glue to each end peg, and let it dry. It then increases the size of the peg giving it a much tighter fit. Not every vehicle going through the construction process ends up exactly the same as the one before which, if you think about it, kind of makes it unique.
Cheers Karl! Got a new one coming now... and sending this one back to Comics and Cocktails... hopefully the sound issues will be better and I'll check hinges too 😉

I don’t think it’s nit-picking. I mean they look like legit steps backwards as far as build quality. Also that loose wire or short isn’t you being picky, those things aren’t cheap and you would expect a fully functional model with all the features listed in working order.
Something else I've noticed. Bossk's bounty review shows a dark grey panel painted that yours hasn't. Of the two prongs that permanently click in, the one closest to the cockpit. Sticks out like dogs...
Well .. this is the one I sent back in the end... but I'd like to check this vid out again and see what you mean. Someone else AGES ago picked up on the grey panel thing and I assume my new one has what BOSSK'S has! 😉👌🏼
Since this video, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT that was a week ago and they still haven't sent me a return label. Their communication frequency is terrible. In the meantime, a replacement has arrived from a different company Zavvi, so I'm now £800 out of pocket and waiting to hear back from Comics and Cocktails to get rid of this faulty one....
I purchased this smugglers run bmf after watching bossk’s video and was startled when mine started making noises on its own as well. For me the engines kept turning on and going into hyperdrive all on its own to the point where I had to remove the battery. My cannons only sound when I move the lever located just to the right of the escape pod however, they don’t make any noise from the button you pressed. Shame really, for the price, you really expect better quality from a bmf
Sounds like you've had very similar to me then right? All is sorted now, but I was livid when I realised it was faulty! FAR too expensive to be having issues and hassles. 😤 O.O.K 👌🏼💙 P.S you done anything about it?... anyone helping you resolve?
@@OnlyOneKenobi well I was right about to contact a young priest and an old priest and sprinkle it with Holy water but that was before seeing your video. Not sure what to do about it really 🤷🏻♂️ your feelings from the video are absolutely shared. Great name btw and thank you for responding so quickly 🙏🏼
Dude!!! For the amount of money you’ll have paid for the falcon, yes it does matter! Like you say, it will hinge on if you can get a replacement, unfortunately if the option is return in but don’t get another then without a doubt I’d keep it, but you shouldn’t have to at the end of the day, really hope you get it sorted my friend 👍

Only One Kenobi - aw that’s great news, hope the refund and replacement goes smoothly, the amount of money the collecting community put in to there passion, they deserve the stuff to be right and fault free, keep us posted O.O.K 👍
I’m sorry to hear that O.O.K. - If Comics & Cocktails CAN deliver a replacement, I’d send your unit back. But make sure they can maybe call them or ask for a guarantee in paper form. Maybe they even agree to send you the new unit before you send the first one back to them. Amazon does offer such a solution. I only have the TLC falcon and I won’t get the GE version, it’s just too crazy expensive. If the clips weren’t changed, the two front parts CAN be removed by just pulling. I’ve already done that on my TLC one. Got mine 50% off at a local store for 99.99€ back in 2009. Good luck only Wan, there’s still hope! The Galaxy’s Edge version should be shipping in quite some amount. Fingers crossed for you in Germany!
Add: who you can also ask is Hasbro themselves! Report the issues with your unit to them in the UK. Hasbro’s customer Service here in Germany is excellent, I’ve made very good experience with them. Since this is a current product, they have to have some extra units at their headquarters for such cases like yours. As you say it’s not the sellers fault, but the producer’s. But some companies only deal with return issues through their distributors and vendors. You’ll find a way!

@@legion078 additional, I did try contacting Hasbro directly on live chat and they basically closed the door and sent me back to Comics and Cocktails! Crap. Clearly wanted nothing to do with it. Thankfully C&C are helping and probably have a better point of contact than their pathetic live chat.
Possibly mold degradation on the cockpit and escape pod latches, could be fixed by building up the latches with superglue. No excuse at the price they sold it at though.

You can't. Just don't push them in tight if you wanna remove them.. or, you can remove the lock before putting them in. Check Colin Hobbs video. Check out my Hermes video... see how I have to return my faulty Falcon to Comics and Cocktails.... with the two front forks sticking out of the box! Rediculous.
I would try changing batteries for newer ones or remove the missiles from the quads see if that makes a difference. The price is Way Too High for Any flaws!

You can package the whole ship, and the box separately but attached. Then send it back. I know it’s expensive, and a hassle, but it’s really up to you. I personally would keep it. I NEVER use the sounds anyways. I’m sure you can always research on Utube and figure out a way to repair it.
Man.... I just got mine today and it was defective! The mandible on the cockpit side would not light up. I had to take the entire thing apart and I found a bent pin in the falcon. Technically, one of the two female connections was gapped to wide. I had to pinch it tight and then it worked but having all the screws out and trying to get all the trim lined up was a nightmare! Also, I’m not impressed with the wash at all!! Not consistent at all. Some parts are over done and some parts are clean as a whistle! For the price, I feel like hasbro got over on me! Also found a human hair inside and let me tell, it wasn’t from a Wookiee 🤮

That third button on the right should be a load more voice snippets. I've managed to remove the two front prongs by taking all the screws out of the base and carefully separating it. They then slide out with the little piece of plastic they are stuck in. You can then remove those pesky little bits of plastic completely and the front prongs sit fine without and then can easily be removed for packing. Get it sent back for a replacement mate.

I got the same issue but it plays all the sounds one after the other, best thing to do is reset it by taking the batteries out, for 370 pounds is just disappointing
The “minor” issues may have to do with the fact that Hasbro reused an “old” mold. There is some degradation when reusing a mold. That’s just my guess. But I get it that they are annoying given the price paid for it. I’m still waiting for mine. It should arrive this week. I’ve never owned a BIG Falcon so I’m really looking forward to it 🤗
Awesome! Well enjoy it once it's arrived. It's probably better for folks like yourself who don't have Legacy to compare it next to, which highlight a few mould imperfections like you said, regardless of the sound card fault ☺ Definitely looks incredible P.s Sorted now.

Ty for the indepth follow up 👍 $399 is a hell of a mark up. I most likely would have bought in for $250-$275, but $400 is plain greed. 😑 I thought your faulty ship may have possibly made for more of a collectable with the randomized sound effects going off, but there is way too many other little things wrong down to the box damage. For the price, everything had better be flawless. And I would think have some serious extras included. Download codes for the movies or something...

Based on the expensive price, by all means you should get it replaced if there’s a faulty sound board. I haven’t opened mine yet so now I’m worried these kind of faults may exist. Getting a replacement I suspect is also going to be a challenge.

I feel your pain. It’s a display piece and so it won’t matter. However it’s an expensive item and you never know if you’ll want to sell it one day in the future. It’s tough to decide. But I know how little nit picks annoy you. You have two so maybe it’s an opportunity to get rid of one you don’t need. Lol. Tough one.

For £399, you deserve to be 100% happy with the product, nitpicks or not. I'd return it as long as they will cover return postage. The only problem like you say, is whether or not they will have a replacement in stock to send you. Even if they don't, just think what other vintage figures and ships you could buy with the £399 refund! Whatever happens, hope you get it sorted out to your satisfaction, mate!

@@bikerscout7467 I did... but when I heard from Bossk's Bounty that C&C had them, I immediately cancelled my Zavvi order (which was still pending) and went with C&C. Ironic I'm back with Zavvi now, but THIS time payments gone through.... so I guess it's official and going through as opposed to the previous pending preorder with them.... we'll see! 😊
Sorry to hear that mate- haven’t had the issues with mine but I would see if you could get a partial refund if your happy to live with it- if not send it back for sure- those things would play in the back of my mind as well.
Hey man... Comics and Cocktails initially offered postage to return it which is great. But I was 1) worried I wouldn't get another and 2) had no clue how to return it given I'm unable to just box it up with the front forks now on which can't be removed. I think I may have actually secured another with Zavvi.... so I reckon I'll just return it. I did suggest to C&C that if they just gave me a little store credit I'd be happy enough and save all the hassle of returning this beast, but they closed the door on that option. They can't/ don't do partial refund... at least it would've been something and it would've made me feel better... Alas, since theres a chance of another with Zavvi and as long as I can card cardboard it up as best I can, then I'm probably best getting shut of it! Everyone in the comments seems to be saying the same... 'send it back!' Ha. 👍🏻 so I guess I will 🙂👍🏻
"Well that's not good." ~ Han Solo. It really sucks that there is No Neutral/Off Position on the Switch between the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy Sounds. I would contact Hasbro Directly . That is a Lot of Money to spend on something that has a Defect. Saying that, while it is Expensive, to find an Original Legacy Falcon even Remotely Complete will cost You $350+. If You want a Complete One with the Box You're looking at $500, and a MISB Version around $600. I Really Want this New One. From what I saw, the Paint Apps & Weathering are Great on the Smuggler's Run version. Looking forward to what Kinds of Resolution You come to. Keep Up the Great Reviews and MTFBWY
You're right about the neutral switch! Through my own problems, I've ended up discovering a myriad of other problems with this piece! 😣 Anyway, in other news, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
The way I see it you have two choices. You can contact Hasbro, but I doubt there's much they can do, but they might be able to replace it. The other option would be to take the turret apart and check the activation switches. It might be something simple that can be easily fixed.

Yeah man... that's where I'm up to now. When I contacted Hasbto direct, they batted me straight back to my retailer. Didn't wanna know! They (Hasbro) were crap! Not much help at all. On the plus side... the retailer Comics and Cocktails HAVE been helpful... and have since offered to pay for postage to return it. After which, THEY will deal with Hasbro directly. Lord knows, they will have more options for a direct dial than the public do! 👍🏻🙂 Such a big corporation, it's always hard to get through to anyone who can help with issues like these. Hopefully got another coming with Zavvi 👌🏻💙
I would deal with it. The chances of trying to replace it are risky getting a new one shipped. gotta ask yourself if you can settle with it or not. It still looks nice in your collection.
Hey K.... since I made video...Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! 😉O.O.K 💙👌
You have every right to be frustrated! I would say see what you can do about getting a new one as a replacement but if not I cant say I would want to return it. But you do already have one? So hard to decide! 😭
Hey Chris, sorted now. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Really annoying but not surprising with Hasbro. Their QC is pretty awful even with MOCs and packing, but for such a pricey item, there is no way these types of issues should be happening. They look great together.
Amazing how the older model kicks its ass in terms of overall quality! Look behind the incredible exterior and you will find the issues.! A bit like the analogy Redlettermedia made about the sequel trilogy, particularly the Force Awakens! It's like a new house. When you first go in, it's amazing, but look closer and you will find cracks behind the posters on the wall! Haha
Since this video, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT that was a week ago and they still haven't sent me a return label. Their communication frequency is terrible. In the meantime, a replacement has arrived from a different company Zavvi, so I'm now £800 out of pocket and waiting to hear back from Comics and Cocktails to get rid of this faulty one.... 😣😤😣
Shocking really... a definite drop in quality despite the lovely exterior! By the way...

I think about all the people that could never think of owning a FALCON. They then watch videos of a collector talking about issues he has with his new falcon whilst having an awesome original sitting right next to it. They then then wish they had problems like yours. P.S. try taking the batteries out and putting them back in. This might reset the power couplers. I hope HASBRO does right by you because channels like yours give them so much free publicity. "MAY THE RESOLUTION DEPARTMENT GET BACK TO YOU".

If it’s bothering you then I think you should pursue getting it fixed or a replacement. This thing was almost the same price as the barge! It needs to work properly. There no reason the Legacy BMF which is over 10 years old should be working fine and your week old BMF is already faulty. I’m glad you made this video. Good luck!

I bought the the first one yesterday! 200 and it’s missing, but I can get them on eBay! I ordered the Naboo royal ship, and an AT AT 1997, and the black series at st which are all on there way, and yesterday I looked at Facebook market yesterday and seen the falcon for 250, but he took 200! Now I got to get the landing gear! I’m using wood dowels painted gray and it looks fine fr now!

OOK, there is a TH-cam video explaining how to unmount the two front parts of the Falcon, so that you can put it back in the box eventually. You just need a screwdriver. I hope it helps. Anyway, Hasbro's guarantee should 100% apply in your case. At this price, do not hesitate to send it back for repair. It requires some patience of course, but you will be glad in the end. All the best OOK👍
Thanks for commenting. I just wouldn't want to risk taking it apart and breaking it 😕 But some blood news.... Sorted now.

Thanks for commenting! All done now bad fish... this was an upload from months ago (I guess you didn't see the upload date in description). Hasbro were crap to get hold of a d wanted nothing to do with it.. but the people I bought if from sorted a refund 👌🏼 O.O.K 😉💙
@@OnlyOneKenobi so glad to hear that it worked out with the seller. Yes I just saw the date now haha. I am in Canada and we just got them in and I couldn't bring myself to watch any videos until my order was secure. I have not opened mine yet so I hope it has no issues. I saw a video he was missing the couch by the holochess table. I don't have the original as I wasn't collecting then so I am happy they released it again even though it is pricey it is better than the ebay prices were
Thanks again for the comment! Make sure you defo open it to check all is okay 😉 I guess you planned ultimately to open right? Best to check the electronics, but not just that.... but check the figures are okay. I've heard stories of missing Chewbaccas and even Hondos that don't have correct limbs (eg two right hands)
I actually regret ordering mine now after seeing this video. It bothers me that the cockpit is so ridiculously large. It’s way out of scale. Why the hell did they make it so big? May seem like a minor thing, but it will irritate me to no end. May return mine.
Yo man.... cockpit is definitely same size. If it looks bigger, that's purely about effect of the camera angle I was using which can elongate things in shot. Since I made this video...Sorted now.

The problem with a production issue such as this, is your next one could be even worse. Also, how many times will you be using that sound? I say keep it.
Hopefully not Joe... hope the next one is superior! S Anyway, since filming this, got things sorted now.

Sorry this happened to you. Not only that but they missed a paint detail on yours. On the front panel opposite the cockpit they missed the second grey stripe under the grey triangle shape strange they missed it. But I've seen it on others
I wouldn’t settle with that issue. Call Hasbro and tell them you deserve a new one after spending so much money. Or order a new one and send the old one back. Rip those mandibles off and return it.
I got nowhere trying to contact Hasbro directly on their live chat. Basically sent me packing. But.. some good news!

Hello there shortly, I'll be sending my phone off to be repaired, so this'll be one of the last videos I can make like this in a while (but hopefully not long!)
I just wanted to tell you all about the problem I had with my brand new Star Wars TVC Vintage Collection Galaxy's Edge Smugglers Run Millennium Falcon by Hasbro.... it's kinda faulty. Plus, in this video, I highlight a fee more differences in the quality of this new version compared to the previous BMF release in the 2008 Legacy Collection.
Lemme know your thoughts. Some of you might not be fussed on such a minor defect, but in any case it's a fault and given the price this cost me, it bugs me ever so slightly.
I will feedback very soon with the final resolution with this issue!
NOTE: This video was filmed the DAY AFTER my initial new versus old Falcon comparison video....

@Groom Lake first thing I did bro! It was crap! Contacted them directly on live chat.. they pretty much sent me packing to my retailer. Wanted nothing to do with it! Anyway... watch my latest upload! Update on things getting sorted now... video is the one with the thumbnail of the replacement Falcon getting left on my front porch for hours when I was out!! 🤦♂️👍🏻
Groom Lake Hasbro doesn’t do replacements on any convention, limited edition, or store exclusive items. The Falcon is a Disney park exclusive.
@Groom Lake no man, I'm with ya... I've always felt the symbiosis between Disney and Lucasfilm, having been a long time lover of WDW myself and golden memories of MGM Studios in the very early 90s. Separate issue from this Fslcon though .. reckon they need to keep up quality control. The Legacy (asides how great the new one looks) beats it hands down 👌🏼💙
I think they sent you the "REAL" Millennium Falcon! Nothing ever works on it! LOL
Haha Haha, 'oh yeah, watch this!' 🤣😉
Great comment! Hahaha 😉 O.O.K 💙👌🏻
🤣 Well played
Yeah, that's the real deal, lol.
I agree with the other commenter! For the price you paid, everything should work! Don't settle something that is poorly made! I'm angry and I don't even own one. And now i KNOW that i won't!
Cheers Tim.... I agree. But there's been some good news, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
It’s probably a micro switch that’s not in position. I’m guessing the soundboard is ok. If you take it apart, you’ll probably find what’s broken. The only part that might be tricky is the ramp. I’ve seen videos where guys have added mods. You should find one of their videos and ask them if they have any insight.
Also compare the two falcons. Turn them both off, carefully turn the guns from left to right and you’ll probably feel the click of the switch and hear it if you listen close. I’m guessing you won’t on your newer falcon because whatever mechanically actuates the switches is not secured. The switch might not be near the gun, it may be located at the slide lever that changes direction of the gun. The switch at one point was probably stuck in the closed position and that’s why it was going off on its own.
@@neillowery7634 can defo feel switch like almost a rubbery button... but there a connection felt when you move turret... just no sound.
Some good news though, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
My collection got a huge boost in the past 2 weeks, I’m a 3.75 collector and I have around 300 figures, all mint and on the self. So I decided I needed some vehicles to display some figures on ships. So I bought this Naboo royal ship, the 1997 AT AT , and a black series AT ST, then yesterday I went on Facebook market and seen so,eons near me was selling the first of these 2 falcons, the original vintage collection falcon missing only landing gear for 200 from 250 he was asking! So I got the falcon and the other 3 are on the way! So excited mr. Kenobi
Try waking up at 4 AM with laser sounds and Han Solo yelling up a storm!! And I paid over $800 for mine!!
🤯🤯 seriously dude? You've had the same issue Sean?
Bad isn't it! 😏
@@OnlyOneKenobi yes. I call it my haunted Millenium Falcon. I've had to resort to taking the batteries out. And I got it off of Ebay so no return options for me I still love it though but it is certainly faulty. And I'm pretty sure you and I aren't the only ones, if it is any consolation
Man... one things for damn sure... it looks GREAT!
Though I managed to replace the faulty one... even if this one konks out, I'll still be happy with how it looks! 🥰👌🏼 epic
@@OnlyOneKenobi Nice!! Happy for you. and YES!! It is breathtakingly beautiful.....just the scale of it alone!!
I just opened mine and it is missing the bag of porgs for that kind of money it’s frustrating it’s not complete I don’t really want to buy another one just for that cuz it’s so large to be messing with 😣
No way seriously?! That's shocking. Have you done anything about it?....
Only One Kenobi I emailed hasbro but I don’t think they will do anything about it
@@funkofan6724 yeah man, feels like that dunnit... like they're such a big corporation and it's impossible to contact anyone to help!
Mine is faulty also... The boarding ramp does not light up nor makes sounds...
I'm sorry to hear this... 😔
I had mine replaced by the way, but when did you get yours by the way?
I hope you can get it replaced too?!....
Did you try taking the batteries out and putting them back in? I had a similar issue with mine, which developed a life of it's own and then got stuck in an endless loop. Re-seated the batteries and it's been fine since.
Guarantee you 100% I tried each and every variation of logical trouble shooting there is. Sent it back now anyway.... definitely a dud! ☺ O.O.K 💙👌
Yep i got mine today and straight away out of the assembled the turret sounds didnt work using slider. Pretty shitted off tbh :(
No way man... I'm sorry to hear. Yoj gonna take back if you can?.... lemme know where you bought etc....
try moving the lever that moves the turret. (on the top to the right of the escape pod hatch)
Have done my man. Makes no difference. I only manually moved it to AVOID missiles firing!
Any way you move it... via lever or by hand, there's no sound... Faulty and crap!
@@OnlyOneKenobi that sucks my man! hope you get it sorted out.
I'd definitely return it OOK ! It WILL niggle you forever if you don't do it now & be done with it ...... rather than waiting until years later when it's too late. Given the sound board may have failed, you would be best to get a full replacement NOW. I own the Legacy BMF & quite happy to stick with it - though find it strange that with Hasbro using the same mould/castings for most of the parts has resulted in some variance in those hinged parts ! I bought my Legacy BMF 2nd hand (Loose, Complete with the box) and it already had the nose parts installed (and it travelled fine from another State here in Australia) - so I know it CAN be packed up with the nose in place but use a lot of extra padding around the nose & use a VERY large oversized box.

Also the cockpit cover does not line up at all
I am gutted for you. I don’t know what to do. We all need to share this with Hasbro.
I will mention when I do my review.
Did you check to see if anyone was inside shooting the guns ???
Hehe
Man! thanks for pointing that out! My wife just ordered me one from Target last night for my bday. I’ll be testing the hell out of this! Glad target is only a few mins away from me in case I have to return it. Hope you get a better replacement!

Collection looks great mate! I’m a collector myself, not yet on your scale, but I don’t think I could get to your point. I see you have the sail barge! Awesome! I wanted that so bad but being on disability from a fall of a ladder and then got hit by a drunk driving illegal immigrant! But I could never afford 500 buck for a barge ! I was lucky enough on my birthday of all days sept 1st just a few weeks ago found a legacy falcon for 200 without landing gear! SCORE! But I got about 250 figures, a legacy falcon , the Naboo royal ship back when I could still work! An AT AT p.o.t.f. , AT ST Black series, the skiff and a few other single pilot vehicles. But I do have 10 lightsabers from before my accident both of Luke’s sabers and 8 others ! All from ultrasaber so there all great quality!
Now I don’t mean to sound like a charity case.. I could have bought a barge I just would have had to save a couple months. So I got to keep an early eye out for the next one... but thanks for your reading it. And always stay strong with the force! Happy hunting
Be interesting to see the new one if the niggles are better with hatches and cockpit alignment. My legacy cockpit cover did the same your new Falcon does.
Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi!
If and when I get a new one, be interesting to see how it performs!.... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
They are only available on second market
Here are some tips. Make sure you are using new alkaline batteries.. If the batteries are old or weak it will make electronics do weird things, especially sound boards. Take the batteries out for a few minutes and reinstall them, maybe that will reset the soundboard. If it still doesn't work it may be a loose connection. I don't think its a problem with the sound board itself since it still makes the sound from the button. I hope that fixes the soundboard issues.
Regardless I think Hasbro should step in and fix the other issues, those are some serious quality control issues with something that costs this much. I hope this helps.
Trust me, I've triple checked those batteries. All fresh too. 😕 But anyway, since making this video, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
When you move to the side of the Galaxies Edge MF it looks bigger than the Legacy MF for some reason! Must be the camera angles messing with me? There seem to be lots of problems when they go and use the mold again for a new batch things not working and latching properly!!! New ways to wire things with alternate sounds and a way to switch them back and forth electronics is a fickle thing!
Yep. . I could only use my wide angle camera.... makes things look elongated slightly (depending on angle)
My other doesn't focus. Just sent it off to be fixed in fact.

I just purchase one and the quad cannon worked once and stopped. Then the damndest thing a few days later it started working again. I can't explain it.
Oh no Robert.... 😔 I'm sorry to hear this!
And honestly... this video is becoming a hub for those who have had problems too....
So, I managed to return mine, hiq about you? Are you in a position to return what you got?
Thank you for commenting! 😉 O.O.K 💙👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi That's the odd part. It started working again. It's still working. I'm glad you managed to return yours though. Did you get a replacement or just a refund and call it good with your Legacy Falcon?
Does the top cannon make sounds when you use the proper slider that moves it?
Nah... same result. No sound. Sound is triggered by buttons moving turrets left and right anyway (like I demo on the Legacy) regardless of slider. 😕
While not an electric issue, I had a couple of issues with tvc Slave 1 when I got mine
Really?.. tell me what they were! Now that was one I had no issues with because I'd never even touched the previous release let alone owned it. So was it a mould issue?....
Only One Kenobi not a mold issue, just missing parts from the factory. I’ve also had a few black series showing up lately with cracks in the plastic near some joints
You need to reach out to Hasbro for sure. I just got a used 2008 Legacy and refurbished it and weathered it and it’s a solid built vehicle. The new one should have been done the same. Keep up the great videos!
Sorted now. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Only One Kenobi that’s great to hear! I opted to purchasing a 2008 Legacy which I had to refurbish and then I weathered it. Turned out pretty good I think.
I grew up a huge SW fan and have a lot of figures and toys and just started to getting I to collecting so thank you for all your videos!
@@philipb2121 hey PNB2 no worries! Dunno how long you've been following my channel but there's defo lots more to come! 😉 O.O.K 💙👌
The other way to activate those sounds is to use the little slider next to the escape pod: it's on the opposite side to those three sound buttons. Does sliding that up and down help at all? Hope you can get this sorted. I also got mine from Comic & Cocktails and I've been delighted so far.
Hey Colin. .. yeah man tried each and every option to bring life into that mechanism, but I guess it's just plain faulty.
Good news though, Sorted now. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
With the amount of money these things retail for, you'd expect them to work properly! Hasbro has some serious quality control issues! Great comparison video, mate👍💫
Thank you Marco! And yes, agreed! You'd expect that INDEED! 🙂 O.O.K 👌🏼💙
I work at a Target store and I bought one online, 312.50 grand total after 10% employee discount, 5% Red Card discount, and a coupon they issued with the Red Card of 50.00 off any purchase over 100.00, and free shipping as well. I'm very sorry you're having those issues. I had a vintage Kenner Falcon as a child and I remember how exciting that ship was. And, prior I had made a cardboard box into very crude looking Falcon to get by with my imagination until I finally got one.
Sorry you had issues with your falcon. I'm glad to hear that things are being handled though and I hope you get your replacement soon, issue free! I also hope my falcon, which comes this Wednesday is also issue free. $400 is a lot of money for this and it should operate as intended. Take care and I look forward to your future videos.
So I’m not the only one, but on top of that mine had a missing piece.
No way man really?...
You had same issues with sound board?..
Only One Kenobi it was a soundboard issue but a different sound, plus I’m missing the cannon under the front of the falcon.
I got this for Christmas and I love it. However....... Like yours, mine has a mind of its own. It will randomly fire up. Day and night. It will lie dormant for hours and then suddenly. On go the lights and the thing starts up. I have removed 1 battery to stop this happening. Otherwise it is a beautiful thing to own. 👍
No way!!! Sorry to hear this! It must be a common fault then either them.... and frankly not excusable!
I just got mine yesterday and it was missing parts. It was missing a piece from the dejaric set and it came with two right mandibles and no left one. Luckily target agreed to send me a new one for free, hopefully it comes complete.
Seriously man?! Oh no, that is NOT good and I'm sorry to hear that!
You sending back the old one?! Or you getting two now? .....
The STAR WARS Vintage Collection Millennium Falcon | Galaxy's Edge Smugglers Run,is just now arriving in the U.S. Mine came two days ago.
Yeah man I heard this from Tim! (BB) 😉
If it bothers you, then see if you can get it fixed/replaced. I personally wouldn't much care about the turret sounds not working, but that's just me. It's probably a shorted out micro switch in the turret. I was betting until the Galaxys Edge BMF actually got announced that they were going to leave the sounds and lights out and just go nuts with the paint job. Anyway, thanks for the great videos... I still want the BMF, but it's good to see what having one is really like. Thanks for all the info
Sorted now Chris. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
@@OnlyOneKenobi As long as you're happy at the end of the day, thats all that counts!
After paying that kind of money, deffo would not be something to live with. There is a way to remove the mandibles, which involves basically unscrewing the front of the Falcon, there is a Spanish dude who did a TH-cam video showing the disassemble of a Legacy Falcon. It absolutely sucks this has happened to you, although I do love having electronics in my ships/vehicles, it does cross my mind about things such as this happening.
Cheers for the comment. No way I'll be messing around with taking it apart, so I'll just wait for the return label (which Comics and Cocktails have kindly offered) and I'll just have to improvise with additional cardboard to cover front....
I knew there must be a way because when I bought my Legacy second hand the Mandables where off! Thanks dude.
yes! I took the mandible off of my 2008 version. It's not hard as long as you are careful.
SEND IT BACK. Those type of things bug the hell out of me and I can see that it's the same for u. I feel your pain and I hope that for both our sakes Zavvi come through.

Moving the turret by hand is not probably good for it. I would use the slide tab if the smugglers has the same set up as legacy. That's also my 2 cents:). Still should not be breaking as its a kids toy!!
Yeah but I'm sure you appreciate that it broke before I'd even staring using the thing!
I was only demonstrating that it didn't work by either movement of turret.... by hand or by slider.
I totally agree though, it shouldn't be breakable in any form given it's a toy.
I just wanted to be clear this was no fault of my own (the thing breaking) by moving turret by hand.
It left the factory faulty no doubt. All cleared up now though....got a replacement etc! 👌🏼😉 O.O.K
Have you tried fresh batteries? I’ve have strange sound experiences from dying batteries.
Hey Whit...
Yeah, sadly not man. I've triple checked with multiple batteries, all fresh (from Costco so I've loads) but the error is just specific to that sound and mechanism. Really strange.
Comics and Cocktails have offered to ship it back and refund though which is great, plus I think I've managed to get another via Zavvi here in the UK... so reckon I'll just get shut of this one now. Postage is gonna be weird with the two claws sticking out of the original box! 😂
Fortunately I haven’t noticed any issues with the Smugglers Run Falcon that I received. I also had a Legacy Falcon from 2008. The only differences I could tell were the paint and wash application, update to the decal set (so are completely different, others recolored), figures and additional radar dish. Quality seems the same as best as I can tell. I’ve owned two Legacy falcons and the paint application on those two were not 100% consistent. So yes...the Smugglers Run is my third one lol.
WOW!! X3?!? HAHA! And I thought I was crazy with x2!!! Haha 😉
mine makes the Chewie and 3PO sounds. It kept playing through the night lol.
No way man! I read this comment the other day and did sympathise... sorry for the late reply! 👌🏼😉
Hello, did you try activating the cannon from the lever on the hatch of the escape pod?

Sorry for my bad english
No worries ☺ your English is good! 👍
Yes I tried side switch and even different batteries... it's just faulty.
Some good news though. Sorted now. Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT more importantly, I think I've managed to secure a new one with another company Zavvi! All good now hopefully... thanks for watching and commenting! O.O.K 💙👌
Looking at this clip mate, one fault I could maybe live with it. But you have a few there, so I would send it back. The other variant of the falcon you have seems a superior vehicle. Great clip though again buddy.

Hi. There are very easy things you can do to strengthen the hinges and stop them popping out..I got these tips from toy polloi (if you're interested). Just add a few drops of clear super glue to each end peg, and let it dry. It then increases the size of the peg giving it a much tighter fit. Not every vehicle going through the construction process ends up exactly the same as the one before which, if you think about it, kind of makes it unique.
Cheers Karl! Got a new one coming now... and sending this one back to Comics and Cocktails... hopefully the sound issues will be better and I'll check hinges too 😉
Target's web page still has them for sale.
I ordered my replacement with Zavvi a week ago and it's here already! 😱
Just ordered mine from Target, hoping not to have the gun fault.
Good luck... I'm sure you'll be okay, but lemme know! 👌🏼😉 O.O.K 💙
It does matter. A lemon Falcon. Send it back and you deserve a New One, plain and simple....May the Force be with you....

I don’t think it’s nit-picking. I mean they look like legit steps backwards as far as build quality. Also that loose wire or short isn’t you being picky, those things aren’t cheap and you would expect a fully functional model with all the features listed in working order.
I think my Refund is going through soon too.... I sent the faulty one back after making this video and FINALLY getting things back to normal... 👌🏼💙
Something else I've noticed. Bossk's bounty review shows a dark grey panel painted that yours hasn't. Of the two prongs that permanently click in, the one closest to the cockpit. Sticks out like dogs...
Well .. this is the one I sent back in the end... but I'd like to check this vid out again and see what you mean. Someone else AGES ago picked up on the grey panel thing and I assume my new one has what BOSSK'S has! 😉👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi good that you did. This poor guy was missing his lounge 11min in th-cam.com/video/4rhq_eFw_Cs/w-d-xo.html
the box does look nice. i only wish it was esb, rotj, or even rots. great vid.
Thank you! O.O.K 💙👌
Depends on how long have you owned the 399 falcon for ?
Since this video, Comics and Cocktails have offered to return and refund BUT that was a week ago and they still haven't sent me a return label. Their communication frequency is terrible. In the meantime, a replacement has arrived from a different company Zavvi, so I'm now £800 out of pocket and waiting to hear back from Comics and Cocktails to get rid of this faulty one....
I purchased this smugglers run bmf after watching bossk’s video and was startled when mine started making noises on its own as well. For me the engines kept turning on and going into hyperdrive all on its own to the point where I had to remove the battery. My cannons only sound when I move the lever located just to the right of the escape pod however, they don’t make any noise from the button you pressed. Shame really, for the price, you really expect better quality from a bmf
Sounds like you've had very similar to me then right?
All is sorted now, but I was livid when I realised it was faulty! FAR too expensive to be having issues and hassles. 😤 O.O.K 👌🏼💙
P.S you done anything about it?... anyone helping you resolve?
@@OnlyOneKenobi well I was right about to contact a young priest and an old priest and sprinkle it with Holy water but that was before seeing your video. Not sure what to do about it really 🤷🏻♂️ your feelings from the video are absolutely shared. Great name btw and thank you for responding so quickly 🙏🏼
Dude!!! For the amount of money you’ll have paid for the falcon, yes it does matter! Like you say, it will hinge on if you can get a replacement, unfortunately if the option is return in but don’t get another then without a doubt I’d keep it, but you shouldn’t have to at the end of the day, really hope you get it sorted my friend 👍

Only One Kenobi - aw that’s great news, hope the refund and replacement goes smoothly, the amount of money the collecting community put in to there passion, they deserve the stuff to be right and fault free, keep us posted O.O.K 👍
I’m sorry to hear that O.O.K. - If Comics & Cocktails CAN deliver a replacement, I’d send your unit back. But make sure they can maybe call them or ask for a guarantee in paper form. Maybe they even agree to send you the new unit before you send the first one back to them. Amazon does offer such a solution. I only have the TLC falcon and I won’t get the GE version, it’s just too crazy expensive. If the clips weren’t changed, the two front parts CAN be removed by just pulling. I’ve already done that on my TLC one. Got mine 50% off at a local store for 99.99€ back in 2009. Good luck only Wan, there’s still hope! The Galaxy’s Edge version should be shipping in quite some amount. Fingers crossed for you in Germany!
Add: who you can also ask is Hasbro themselves! Report the issues with your unit to them in the UK. Hasbro’s customer Service here in Germany is excellent, I’ve made very good experience with them. Since this is a current product, they have to have some extra units at their headquarters for such cases like yours. As you say it’s not the sellers fault, but the producer’s. But some companies only deal with return issues through their distributors and vendors. You’ll find a way!

@@legion078 additional, I did try contacting Hasbro directly on live chat and they basically closed the door and sent me back to Comics and Cocktails! Crap. Clearly wanted nothing to do with it. Thankfully C&C are helping and probably have a better point of contact than their pathetic live chat.
Did you ever get this Smuggler’s Run Falcon replaced?
Indeed. Search up and you maybe even find a follow up to this vid 👍🏻🙂
Possibly mold degradation on the cockpit and escape pod latches, could be fixed by building up the latches with superglue. No excuse at the price they sold it at though.

Does anyone know how to safely remove the mandibles for storage?
You can't. Just don't push them in tight if you wanna remove them.. or, you can remove the lock before putting them in. Check Colin Hobbs video.
Check out my Hermes video... see how I have to return my faulty Falcon to Comics and Cocktails.... with the two front forks sticking out of the box! Rediculous.
I would try changing batteries for newer ones or remove the missiles from the quads see if that makes a difference. The price is Way Too High for Any flaws!

You can package the whole ship, and the box separately but attached. Then send it back. I know it’s expensive, and a hassle, but it’s really up to you. I personally would keep it. I NEVER use the sounds anyways. I’m sure you can always research on Utube and figure out a way to repair it.

Only One Kenobi yes Sir. Been here since the very first StarWars...
Man.... I just got mine today and it was defective! The mandible on the cockpit side would not light up. I had to take the entire thing apart and I found a bent pin in the falcon. Technically, one of the two female connections was gapped to wide. I had to pinch it tight and then it worked but having all the screws out and trying to get all the trim lined up was a nightmare! Also, I’m not impressed with the wash at all!! Not consistent at all. Some parts are over done and some parts are clean as a whistle! For the price, I feel like hasbro got over on me! Also found a human hair inside and let me tell, it wasn’t from a Wookiee 🤮
No way Neil, that's terrible. Sorry to.hear that, seriously! 😦

For the price increase it should be better not a downgrade.. I should have mine this week from Target.
Well said Dean... you're absolutely right!
That third button on the right should be a load more voice snippets. I've managed to remove the two front prongs by taking all the screws out of the base and carefully separating it. They then slide out with the little piece of plastic they are stuck in. You can then remove those pesky little bits of plastic completely and the front prongs sit fine without and then can easily be removed for packing. Get it sent back for a replacement mate.

I got the same issue but it plays all the sounds one after the other, best thing to do is reset it by taking the batteries out, for 370 pounds is just disappointing
Agreed.
The “minor” issues may have to do with the fact that Hasbro reused an “old” mold. There is some degradation when reusing a mold. That’s just my guess. But I get it that they are annoying given the price paid for it. I’m still waiting for mine. It should arrive this week. I’ve never owned a BIG Falcon so I’m really looking forward to it 🤗
Awesome! Well enjoy it once it's arrived. It's probably better for folks like yourself who don't have Legacy to compare it next to, which highlight a few mould imperfections like you said, regardless of the sound card fault ☺
Definitely looks incredible

Ty for the indepth follow up 👍
$399 is a hell of a mark up. I most likely would have bought in for $250-$275, but $400 is plain greed. 😑
I thought your faulty ship may have possibly made for more of a collectable with the randomized sound effects going off, but there is way too many other little things wrong down to the box damage.
For the price, everything had better be flawless. And I would think have some serious extras included. Download codes for the movies or something...

Awesome so u guess Zavvi are shipping right? That's who I got my replacement with.... still need Comics and Cocktails to email me a return label!
@@OnlyOneKenobi goto web site they have stock also star action figures have stock
Based on the expensive price, by all means you should get it replaced if there’s a faulty sound board. I haven’t opened mine yet so now I’m worried these kind of faults may exist. Getting a replacement I suspect is also going to be a challenge.

For £399, you deserve to be 100% happy with the product, nitpicks or not. I'd return it as long as they will cover return postage. The only problem like you say, is whether or not they will have a replacement in stock to send you. Even if they don't, just think what other vintage figures and ships you could buy with the £399 refund! Whatever happens, hope you get it sorted out to your satisfaction, mate!

@@OnlyOneKenobi Good to hear OOK. Though I thought that you had originally ordered the GE Falcon with Zavvi?
@@bikerscout7467 I did... but when I heard from Bossk's Bounty that C&C had them, I immediately cancelled my Zavvi order (which was still pending) and went with C&C.
Ironic I'm back with Zavvi now, but THIS time payments gone through.... so I guess it's official and going through as opposed to the previous pending preorder with them.... we'll see! 😊
Sorry to hear that mate- haven’t had the issues with mine but I would see if you could get a partial refund if your happy to live with it- if not send it back for sure- those things would play in the back of my mind as well.
Hey man...
Comics and Cocktails initially offered postage to return it which is great. But I was 1) worried I wouldn't get another and 2) had no clue how to return it given I'm unable to just box it up with the front forks now on which can't be removed.
I think I may have actually secured another with Zavvi.... so I reckon I'll just return it.
I did suggest to C&C that if they just gave me a little store credit I'd be happy enough and save all the hassle of returning this beast, but they closed the door on that option. They can't/ don't do partial refund... at least it would've been something and it would've made me feel better...
Alas, since theres a chance of another with Zavvi and as long as I can card cardboard it up as best I can, then I'm probably best getting shut of it! Everyone in the comments seems to be saying the same... 'send it back!' Ha. 👍🏻 so I guess I will 🙂👍🏻
"Well that's not good." ~ Han Solo. It really sucks that there is No Neutral/Off Position on the Switch between the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy Sounds. I would contact Hasbro Directly . That is a Lot of Money to spend on something that has a Defect. Saying that, while it is Expensive, to find an Original Legacy Falcon even Remotely Complete will cost You $350+. If You want a Complete One with the Box You're looking at $500, and a MISB Version around $600. I Really Want this New One. From what I saw, the Paint Apps & Weathering are Great on the Smuggler's Run version. Looking forward to what Kinds of Resolution You come to. Keep Up the Great Reviews and MTFBWY
You're right about the neutral switch! Through my own problems, I've ended up discovering a myriad of other problems with this piece! 😣

The way I see it you have two choices. You can contact Hasbro, but I doubt there's much they can do, but they might be able to replace it. The other option would be to take the turret apart and check the activation switches. It might be something simple that can be easily fixed.

Send it back! And have the retailer work with Hasbro for a replacement.
Yeah man... that's where I'm up to now. When I contacted Hasbto direct, they batted me straight back to my retailer. Didn't wanna know! They (Hasbro) were crap! Not much help at all.
On the plus side... the retailer Comics and Cocktails HAVE been helpful... and have since offered to pay for postage to return it. After which, THEY will deal with Hasbro directly. Lord knows, they will have more options for a direct dial than the public do! 👍🏻🙂 Such a big corporation, it's always hard to get through to anyone who can help with issues like these. Hopefully got another coming with Zavvi 👌🏻💙
I would deal with it. The chances of trying to replace it are risky getting a new one shipped. gotta ask yourself if you can settle with it or not. It still looks nice in your collection.

Really annoying but not surprising with Hasbro. Their QC is pretty awful even with MOCs and packing, but for such a pricey item, there is no way these types of issues should be happening. They look great together.
Amazing how the older model kicks its ass in terms of overall quality!
Look behind the incredible exterior and you will find the issues.! A bit like the analogy Redlettermedia made about the sequel trilogy, particularly the Force Awakens! It's like a new house. When you first go in, it's amazing, but look closer and you will find cracks behind the posters on the wall! Haha

I think about all the people that could never think of owning a FALCON.

P.S. try taking the batteries out and putting them back in. This might reset the power couplers. I hope HASBRO does right by you because channels like yours give them so much free publicity.

OOK, there is a TH-cam video explaining how to unmount the two front parts of the Falcon, so that you can put it back in the box eventually. You just need a screwdriver. I hope it helps.

Best to check the electronics, but not just that.... but check the figures are okay. I've heard stories of missing Chewbaccas and even Hondos that don't have correct limbs (eg two right hands)
I actually regret ordering mine now after seeing this video. It bothers me that the cockpit is so ridiculously large. It’s way out of scale. Why the hell did they make it so big? May seem like a minor thing, but it will irritate me to no end. May return mine.
Yo man.... cockpit is definitely same size. If it looks bigger, that's purely about effect of the camera angle I was using which can elongate things in shot.

Sorry this happened to you. Not only that but they missed a paint detail on yours. On the front panel opposite the cockpit they missed the second grey stripe under the grey triangle shape strange they missed it. But I've seen it on others
I wouldn’t settle with that issue. Call Hasbro and tell them you deserve a new one after spending so much money. Or order a new one and send the old one back. Rip those mandibles off and return it.
