Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron 23cm Assault Class Millennium Falcon - Looks great but has some issues

As a huge Star Wars fan I wanted this to be a great product and at first glance it is. However when it came to playing with it there were some problems that could not be ignored. If you are keeping it in the box on display then its great.

Pros

  • Looks amazing and authentic
  • Has some brilliant sound and light effects

Cons

  • The figures have poor detail
  • Opening the top cover is difficult and you feel like you will break it
  • Does not come with batteries already installed
  • The landing gears fold in on themselves too easily

The Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron 23cm Assault Class Millennium Falcon by Jazwares features incredible details and authentic scaling. The Millennium Falcon is an iconic vehicle from the Star Wars Galaxy and the most recognisable of the rebel fleet. This model includes an opening cockpit, rotating cannons, retractable landing gear, light up thrusters, motion activated sounds and four characters.

Whats in the box?

In the box you get the Millennium Falcon vehicle, a quad cannon, a satellite dish and four mini figures that fit inside the cockpit. The quad cannon and satellite dish need to be attached to the vehicle.

The four figures include Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca. They have moving arms and legs. The figures do not have detailed features.

The Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Millennium Falcon has a lot of play value. You can remove the top cover to access the back of the ship to play.

Underneath the top cover is the battery compartment. You need to use a screwdriver to access this area. There is also a smugglers floor hatch.

What batteries does it need?

The Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Millennium Falcon takes 3 AAA batteries which are not included.

How to play

When you insert batteries and turn on the Millennium Falcon the engine lights will turn on and there is a startup sound.

There are 3 modes of play once the batteries are installed.

  • Press button 1 to activate hyperspace sounds. If you hold it down then it will play in a continuous loop.
  • Press button 2 to activate the cannon turret sound. If you hold it down then it will play in a continuous loop.
  • Motion Play – You can trigger the Millennium Falcon sounds through motion, tilt the back up to play the pitch up sound, tilt the back down to play the pitch down sound, roll the vehicle to the left to play the roll left sound and to the right to play the roll right sound, flip the Millennium Falcon over to play the upside down sound. You can trigger the Millennium Falcon lights through rocking it from left to right.

The quad cannon turret can also be pulled up and down and locked into place. The turret can be moved around 360 degrees and a figure can fit inside it when pulled up. The quad cannon can be moved up and down to 90 degrees.
