I've been seeing a lot of comments bagging on this new Falcon lately, usually stemming from the barge conversation and how awful Hasbro's latest offerings are. Personally, it seems ok to me. Honestly, what bugs me the most is that they don't just have an open back for multiple figures instead of the little sleeping compartment thing. We all know they aren't putting out the BMF for the kid's line, and at least they are trying something new. I guess to me, we already got the perfect, end-all be all version of that ship, so I'm ok with them doing versions like this that are (hopefully) fun for kids. It does seem to be priced a little too high for what it is, but that just seems how things are anymore.
I was listening to some podcasts where they were talking about how Kenner got it right with vehicles, and Hasbro can't. Specifically citing the scale and play value of Hasbro's mainline offerings. Granted, I'll always go for the vintage ships as well, but I think nostalgia is coloring that a bit. Those were mostly all undersized as well. But still great, don't get me wrong. Just seeing a lot of complaining and anger in the collecting world lately.
