I was lucky enough for my wife and sister-in-law purchase me the newest (and finest) iteration of the Millennium Falcon for Christmas.
Millenium Falcon, originally uploaded by pressuretobear.
I had a much smaller and less cool version as a child, which may have been my favorite toy.
That model had a handle that folded-out and a child could use to fly it around the home. This version is much larger, so no flying with it (although I was thinking a video with me flying it around outside whilst holding it over my head would be fun).
I have played with the sounds and light-up features, but it has been sitting on my couch, waiting to be hung from the ceiling. This evening, I finally got off my ass and hung it using fishing line and screw-in hooks.
I only had one mishap in which I pulled the hook from the ceiling and nearly dropped it. I think I might add an additional hook and line to add to the mini-rigging’s stability and strength, as a matter of fact.
The toy is pretty goddamned cool… I might post more pictures of it in the dark with its hyperdrive, cockpit light and headlamps on…
