A FALCON FROM A DAVE

Woodsy
Have you seen Hot Wheels Starship they did of the concept for the Millennium Falcon? Reportedly, Lucas didn’t use it as it looked too similar to the Eagle from Space 1999. I picked up a few, and I've sent one to you.

    I suppose everyone knows that this concept went as far as a filming model before the design was dropped. The Millennium Falcon was redesigned as a hamburger and this model had a new cockpit which turned it into the hammer headed Rebel Blockade Runner...

    So glad that you like it. Was surprised at how much it cost to send to the UK from the States. Cheers, Dave

      Thanks Dave. I hope I thanked you at the time. International mailing costs have gone crazy for sure. I hope you're well.
