All the rumors are true?the new Millennium Falcon toy from Hasbro will be the coolest toy/vehicle/playset ever made. Hasbro’s going to make it available at SDCC first, then it should hit stores soon after, according to Hasbro. Besides the Han and Chewie figures seen up top, here’s the long list of features:

? Light-up headlights and loads of electronic vehicle and weapon sounds ? engine boost, cruise mode, fly-by, firing cannons, and more
? Opening, light-up cockpit can fit up to 4 figures. Vehicle includes Han Solo and Chewbacca and can hold up to 18 figures
? Remove outer panels to access the ship?s interior, then head for the medical bay to treat wounded Rebels
? Secret smuggling compartments to hide from stormtroopers
? Boarding ramp with auto-opening action, deployment sounds and landing lights
? Pivoting gunner station to target Imperial fighters
? Light-up hyperdrive lights and authentic movie phrases and sounds from favorite characters: Han, Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, Chewbacca and R2-D2
? Rotating laser turret fires 2 missiles and makes weapon sounds; ship also features a 3-missile launcher with blasting sounds, and a cannon that launches a ?laser? missile
? Missile-firing mini-fighter fits inside an opening docking bay that makes electronic boarding and flight sounds
? Pivoting training probe makes lightsaber and movement sounds ? learn the power of the Force
? Illuminated dejarik table with holographic creatures

The expected price is around $150, which while expensive, seems totally reasonable for 2 and a 1/2 feet of toy bliss.
