I had a good chat to the staff member at the DeAgostini booth at Celebration today. He confirmed/reiterated that it would be released in New Zealand, "soon". Got some good photographs of a completed version of this, showing the interior.

Re: DeAgostini 'Build the Millennium Falcon'
Yay its coming here!. Thanks Matt for the info & pics, much appreciated. This is a wonderful opportunity for folks to build & own a Studio Scale ESB Falcon. I want one very much to sit alongside my 5 Footer, now I can without actually building it from scratch!.
Hey Matt, look out for the EFX stand. They have their Y-Wing on display for release soon I believe.
Have fun guys, looks a hoot & oh my that trailer stirred up feelings of boyhood excitement!.

Re: DeAgostini 'Build the Millennium Falcon'
God that is pretty and i am a sucker for correct scale.
It however is way above my price i'd have to stop buying hasbro (which they seem to be encouraging me to do anyway lol)
I am glad there are some really great releases i hope they consider switching the pieces for the newer model (as an option) and include a couple more ships. (Tie-defender top of my list!)

Re: DeAgostini 'Build the Millennium Falcon'
I did indeed check out the models at the eFX stand. The Y-wing looks very nice (not that I'm an accuracy expert for that vehicle). I've put some pictures up here if you happen to be interested: http://swnz.dr-maul.com/moretext.php?fo ... m2015/day3eagle1 wrote:...Hey Matt, look out for the EFX stand.

Re: DeAgostini 'Build the Millennium Falcon'
An official response on the DeAg forums suggests that the release in Australia (and presumably NZ) might be delayed as late as early 2016

Re: DeAgostini 'Build the Millennium Falcon'
Yeesh... I'm almost tempted to start sourcing pieces from people who've given up collecting each issue.
But, hey, I've waited this long for a studio scale Falcon, so I'm sure I can wait a wee bit longer, right?
