Millennium Falcon

Grab hold of your blaster, start reciting your Han Solo quips and prepare for the jump to lightspeed because the greatest vehicle in the Star Wars universe has just landed on Fireboxooine.

Created by toymeisters on the planet Hasbro, this incredible interactive version of the legendary Millennium Falcon is almost 2.5ft long, and she's most definitely got it where it counts, kid. In fact this is one of the greatest Star Wars related playthings we've ever seen, and we've seen 'em all. Featuring sound effects, quotes, lights, blasters, moving parts, secret compartments, Han and Chewie figures and more, the odds of you not loving it are approximately 3720 to 1. Probably more!


For starters, let's discuss the sounds because this battery-operated baby is full of them: weapon blasts, engine boost, cruise mode, fly-by, cannons; it even makes that comedy failed ignition noise. And then there are the quotes. Different buttons and actions trigger all kinds of authentic movie lines from Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Han Solo. 'Chewie, get us outta here!' As well as sounds, this detailed replica boasts various realistic lights, inside and out. Even the holographic chessboard lights up. 'I suggest a new strategy: let the Wookie win.'


Once you've fiddled with the Falcon's deceptively dilapidated exterior you can remove the outer panels to access the ship's interior. Here you'll find everything you remember from the movies, including smuggling compartments, auto boarding ramp, a rotating gunner station that fires projectiles, plus a pivoting training sphere that makes realistic lightsaber sounds. There's also a missile-firing mini-fighter. Impressive, most impressive.

Aside from its inability to do the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, the only bummer for us grown-ups is the fact there wasn't anything this awesome around thirty years ago. But being robbed first time round makes the Hasbro Millennium Falcon even more amazing. So what are you waiting for? Let's blow this thing and go home!
