Collecting the Millennium Falcon: The Cutlass Supreme of the Star Wars Universe
The 1983 Cutlass Supreme sedan is the King of vehicles. Come on, hear me out. The Cutlass is one of the best selling cars all-time, its 1983 version one of its best. Yeah, I love 4 doors and a bench seat. The car was dependable, fast, durable, and that beast of a car could take a beating and remain dent-free. Not even Buffalo snow banks could stop it. Well... at least in my experience.

Now, let's look at the Star Wars Universe. What vehicle was fast, took a hell of a beating, and kept on coming? Hmmm.... (take 5 seconds to pretend to consider that query). Of course it's the Millennium Falcon. Come on!
It's not even close. This YT-1300 light freighter annoyed the Empire, bounty hunters, and gangsters all while keeping Han Solo, Chewy and company safe and sound. You see! The Millennium Falcon is the Oldsmobile of the Star Wars Universe! Thankfully, whereas GM ditched the Oldsmobile line... the Frakkers,,, Disney kept the Falcon a part of the Star Wars franchise. Admit it, when we saw the Falcon appear in trailers for 'The Force Awakens', we all cheered! GM - take note... and think about how much your company would soar in sales and popularity if you brought back Olds. Just sayin.I had to but the table, Jedi training ball/arm and trap door separate. Got the Falcon and parts at good prices. I imagine (and hope) the price for the vehicle and parts will continue to climb. My heirs could then sell it and have a great party after I'm gone.
Now, you can buy newly printed stickers online as well as replica parts. That would be a great way to keep costs down. Just make sure that when you purchase something, you confirm if it's a vintage or replica part. Shop around before you buy AND check store/seller reviews. Also check out articles on the Kenner Millennium Falcon on sites like Rebelscum.com. Great place for information.
