2.5 ft long Hasbro Mil. Falcon for £25 in Argos

I can't speak for the cockpit, but both versions of the falcon are from Hasbro.

If the pics in the two ads are correct, the one the OP bought is the same as this one

The OP's seems to be missing the detail panels along the side of the fuselage. Odd since the detail is pictured in both the Argos and Walmart ads.

Ez jaw, where did the robot arm in your first pic come from?

The model is indeed the Hasbro Star Wars Hero Series kit.

The detail panels are supplied as stickers. There are already aftermarket kits for the model to fix this and some other bits (e.g. cockpit too short). They're resin, and I'd have to get them from the US, so the chances are I won't bother.

They are discussed more fully on this thread(*) from the Starship Modelers forum. There are also some conversion parts available from Shapeways. One thing to be careful of with the Shapeways bits is that there are also conversions for a 1:144 scale Falcon in the shop. If the part looks too cheap, it's probably the smaller scale 

@Brandlin - the robot arm is part of the Briony, Cybertechnician set from the Reaper Chronoscope range.

@Stepman3 - the cockpit is an interesting question. It looks a bit small for my liking (the Starship Modeler thread talks about this). It's not unusably small, just looks like it would be rather cramped, especially if you're sharing it with a Wookie . I'll try and get a picture with the figure against the cockpit.

(*) You'll need to join the forum to see the thread, sorry about that. However, it's a forum well worth joining, even if you only lurk (like I do)

Apologies for the delay in posting the cockpit pics below. Pesky Christmas got in the way 

Figure is a Hasslefree model





If this one isn't to your liking, Deagostini are doing a "Build the Millenium Falcon" part build magazine. It's slightly bigger than the Hasbro one, and has interior detail. There are a couple of downsides, however.

1. It's going to take 100 weekly issues, so you'll have to wait a couple of years for it
2. Each issue (apart from the first) is £8.99

So, if you have a spare £900  (or you could think of it as 16 Skreech Verminking if that helps), that's probably the one to go for

I thought the price was too good to be true. The one with the interior detail is known as "the big millenium falcon". It came with nearly every detail that can be seen in the movie, with lighting and sound effects, launchable missiles and a little scout ship. Trouble was it was too big for the average kid to actually play with, and was only bought by Big Kids, as a collectors item. It retailed for about $150, which was considered too expensive at the time. They go for about 4 times that price if you can find one still in its box. It was designed by a fanboy toy designer.
The new range of star wars toys lack any special details, with only 1 or 2 moving parts if you are lucky. Bizzarely the falcon is still huge, it just can't be used as a playset

Thanks for the pic.  Looks like the Falcon is actually a bit bigger than 28mm.  Still, it's a really cool and very close.
