This Millennium Falcon Actually Flies

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

It's a Millennium Falcon that actually flies without a hairy Wookie or hyperspace drive.

Gizmodo points the way to a toy I totally want for my Star Wars collection (yes, Captain Obvious is a geek, I know). While the flying Millennium Falcon is missing half its hull and storage capacity, the thing still flies... which is more than I can say for the toys coughed up by Kenner and various model kits.

Gizmodo actually spotted this thing at a Toy Fair, so I'm not sure where you can actually purchase this flying replica. But for $50, this remote-controlled Falcon comes complete with a charging controller and 11 x 8-inches of sure Kessel Run fun.

Annoying fuzzy Wookie not included.

Mount some laser pointers for even more realism

And this is news exactly why...?

Anyway, it's a pretty lame toy for today's standards. Even more for a SW's toy IMO.

Cheers!

I liked Star Wars, but it sure spawned a lot of crappy toys.

Did you just call Chewbacca an 'annoying fuzzy wookie'?
on a tech site?

200mW green lasers? 2-3 of them? Sure. =)

Damn, I was hoping for the Wookie, that was the best part. =(

it would fly better out in space where there's no gravity.
