Warms the heart to see this ;)

Hm.

Sceptical about this concept and the fact it only had two sets during it's initial run might be backing this up.

Not impressive enough like an UCS, no playset style like minifig scale and not cheap enough like Mini or Microfighters.

Definitely not my type of thing. If I want a Star Wars ship at this scale and function I'd rather go for Revell or something like that, more detail, more realism and (slightly) cheaper.

"Agreed. Nice set. Realistic scale. Inexpensive when it came out. The one thing I would really like these newer midi scale sets to include is a minifigure that you would expect to find in the set if it were minifigure scale. Like the planet sets had in the mid-2010s."

I already do this with a pair of minifigures. The sets seem designed for this. Simply remove the pair of DBG 1x2 grill tiles and put minifigs there instead.

I love this set. Such a shame that the Midi line never continued, and I know there's the new wave going on now, but it's not quite the same. There's a bit more prestige now, and a lot of extra details, the prices are bumped up, and I never got to get that Nebula-B, so this new line got started off on the wrong foot. But I guess the two original Midi sets were just ahead of their time. Without these two, we would have never gotten The Invisible Hand, so silver lining.

Honestly higher detail is what was missing for me on the old ones, considering the smaller scale made it easier to add more details.

The ship the myth the legend

I hope they are going to remake tyhis as part of the new line. I too wish these ships came with a couple of minifigs. Dioramas and display sets without minifigs lose their appeal with repetition.

Yeah, but then the prices tend to skyrocket when you do that. You want something small and detailed, but not something to then say "I paid X amount of dollars for this?" when something the same price can be double or triple the size and really make a statement, and/or be filled with play features. The Midi line felt like a way to have something a bit larger than the Minis from 2003-2004 and polybags for the detail, but able to be held in the hand unlike the larger versions for minifigs. Part display, but also play with simple swooshing action. That's still possible, but when you pay nearly $100 and it's just a blip on the shelf, it makes you wonder if all the little 1x1 pieces are really worth it.

"But sir!"

Yep. Us straight shootin', rootin', tootin' Imperials were gonna catch the Falcon by smashing it into each other. Woo-hoo!
