Build The Millenium Falcon Magazine

[BBassic]

They should spend a bit of the money they'll make on this and get a decent website sorted out!

That is dire.

Publishers don't expect many puchasers to continue until the end.

Part-works are advertised at this time of year because a) people are looking for hobbies b) advertising is cheap.

Why go nuclear when you can engage hyperdrive by pressing a button ?

Indeed,

It's not plastic at all and it is a 1/1 scale too. A snip for a Falcon at £900.000 !

Very good I point how much would a real Falcon cost?

 

[Official Old Man]

I was going to start a thread about this. The fact that this company is still going means that a number of people must buy into this. Their TV advertising budget must get close to or above a million££££. So at £900 the profit must be roughly £700. Budget lets say £500,000 TV campaign that's AT LEAST 700 they must sell! Then it got me thinking. If they sell 5000 of the first issue then 2000 of issue two etc how many drop out and at what stage. Searched the net and cant find any figures to how many buy these.

Who would win in a fight between a 1:1 Millenium Falcon and a Peregrine Falcon?

 

[Norman Potting]

Saw that in a shop recently and thought "how peculiar" but then as with so many things they wouldn't make them if they didn't think anyone would buy.

Good point, but I did hear that hyperdrive is a optional extra and not supplied on the £900.00 standard issue

Would the fight be refereed by a Maltese Falcon ?

Does it come with a free Wookie?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Just seen the advert. Interestingly using a grown adult as the person making the model. Assumed wrongly that this was aimed at kids. But then what kid has £900 to spare?

 

[Wozza]

The 100th issue actually comes with the rare* second 'n' in Millennium.

What Tony Drago as referee - bonkers!
