In the latest
Q and A at Galactic Hunter, Adam mentions the upcoming Attakus Falcon diorama, and possible pricing. Here's the question and his answer. If this is true, yikes!

8. A few months back I remember seeing some pics of a Millenium Falcon/Death Star Hanger cut-away display piece from (maybe?) Sideshow or Master Repilcas or somebody like that which was AMAZING. Do you know the status of this piece.... the SIZE (3 3/4 or smaller?)... the cost... and when it is coming out? In a recent interview with Steve Sansweet on one of the on-line sites (cant remeber which one--maybe Yakface) he seemed to vaguely refer to this piece and I was curious to get more specifics. If youve seen the photos Im referring to, they sort of represent what Im talking about regarding Hasbro sublicensing the vehicle and playset sales to someone else.

A few months ago I mentioned this item, and it's the Attakus Millennium Falcon diorama. Last I heard, it'd be available in two pieces (the Death Star being the other) and it'd be expensive. Previously, I said to expect prices far above $500-- naturally, I got a lot of nasty emails indicating that obviously, I know nothing of how much things of this nature sell for. To you, I'd like to say you were right-- because the price is, according to at least one source,
over four thousand dollars.
So, for those of you thinking this would be a good piece to get to augment your figure collection, well, forget about it. I know maybe two or three of you reading this can afford that, but as I am not one of these people, well, maybe it isn't good for Hasbro to sublicense such an item. There simply aren't enough collectors around to support items of that price range, which is why this particular one will be limited in the hundreds.
