Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game: Millennium Falcon Expansion PackMFG: Fantasy Flight Games#of Players: 2Age Range: 13+Overall Construction: This is a scale model of the Millennium Falcon. The detailing and coloration of the ship are amazing. The radar dish actually moves up and down. Both upper and lower gun turrets are visible and the upper is aimed forward, the lower is aimed behind the ship. This detail may not seem important but since the YT-1300 can fire backward, so it a little detail that is subtle and appreciated.The engine area isn't detailed but considering this ship can act as 4 different versions of itself, it stands to reason that they won't all have the same level of engines.Also included are the specialized rules for this ship. They explain things this vehicle can do that are different from other ships. Tell you how you can set-up a playing field using this ship, what components come with it, &gives you a special Mission Scenario for you to try to play.You get the base and risers for making it look like your ship is flying. Over time the riser sections will start to loosen up so you may want to glue the 2 sections together. It helps when they don't seperate when you pick them up.You will have 2 cards made a nice thick sturdy card stock with pilot specific information and dial pieces. There is another card that has tokens for the ship that are specific to the mission provided.There are 4 Poker sized cards with information specific to the 4 pilot types you can play using this ship and 1 quick reference card. There are also 14 half-sized cards that show co-pilots, weapons,and other advantages that the ships can have. All of the cards have amazing artwork that tells you where the money you are paying for this product is going to.Gameplay: Since this is an Expansion piece it cannot be used for it's intended purpose unless you have at least 1 other ship, but the Starter Box Set is recommended. Otherwise, it makes a nice little model and can be used for role-playing space battles if you are playing any of the Star Wars RPGs. But as I said above you can use this piece as 4 different YT-300s if you are playing the game. At Curent it and the Slave-I (Boba Fett's ship) are 2 of the best pieces.Yes/No Recommend: If you play on Star Wars X-Wing this is an essential piece for game play. Like I said above, the fact that this can be used for a number of different purposes makes it something worth buying even if you aren't going to play the game. I do think this could lead to other uses for Fantasy Flight Games. With the 4 different pilots provided it shows that it they were to provide blank stat cards with only the picture of the ship and maybe made them "dry erase" style where you could fillin your own stats. Then this would rock.When I was playing this with my niece and she saw all of the different options for pilots she immediately wanted to use princess Leia. I told her Princess Leia doesn't pilot a vehicle and that was the reason, but I think she may have flown the Falcon once and there was the speeder bike thing. Which also opens up an oppurtunity for a land based vehicle expansion.Where To Get It: This item, so far, you will only be able to get at your local comic book, hobby shop, or online. Most Comic Book stores are carrying it. I have not seen this game at any of the Big Box Stores.

I don't play the game. I bought this to add to my collection. It has extremely good detailing, especially for it's size, and it makes for great display along with my other stuff. I like it!👍👍

The X-Wing Miniatures Game is one of the best tabletop games to have hit the market in decades. Incredibly well made and painted miniatures and a simple but fun rule set combine to make a great game.The Millennium Falcon or YT-1300 expansion is a absolute powerhouse of a unit. With it's ability to fire in a 360 degree arc it doesn't have to be flown especially well, this is the perfect ship for a beginner player. For a while in the tournament scene it was common to see a squadron build with two of the named pilots from this expansion, which is about all a 100 point squadron will allow for. It does come with the Outer Rim Smuggler with reduced stats and comes in at a cheap 27 points, giving you a nice center ship for more advanced squadrons. The upgrades, specifically the modification cards, give you great options for any squadron even if they don't feature a YT-1300 in their line up.I think this ship is one of the must buy ships for the game and I always use it for new players to help soften their learning curve. I am happy they have made one of the most iconic ships of the Star Wars universe such an integral part of the game.

The YT-1300 (Millennium Falcon) is an incredible expansion for the X-Wing Miniatures game from Fantasy Flight Games.It's actually kind of amazing that you can get this piece for so cheap, considering it's size and high quality. The details in the model and the paint are just outstanding. The Millennium Falcon is recreated for the X-Wing Miniatures game at 1/270 scale.As stated, this is an expansion for the core game, and besides coming with the ship, also comes with new pilots, equipment and abilities. Here are the cards that this ship comes with.Pilot Cards• Han Solo• Lando Calrissian• Chewbacca• Outer Rim SmugglerCrew Upgrade Cards• Chewbacca• Luke Skywalker• Nien Nunb• Weapons EngineerElite Pilot Cards• Draw Their Fire• Elusiveness• Veteran InstinctsMissile Cards• Assault Missiles• Concussion MissilesModification Cards• Engine Upgrade x2• Shield Upgrade x2Unique Ship Cards• Millenium FalconReference Cards• Boost ActionI have now played with this ship a couple of times, and she has really held her own in battle. I've only lost once going head-on against the Slave-1 ship piloted by Boba Fett.Going by the rules of the game, you must use the point system and spend points on your ships, pilots, equipment and abilities. Once you have added up to the maximum allowed points that you and your gaming partner have agreed upon, that's it. So be warned, a fully kitted out Millennium Falcon is EXPENSIVE. If playing with 100 points you will likely have to pick and choose what you really want to have loaded onto your ship.One of the nicest things about the YT-1300 is that it features a 360 degree firing arc for its primary weapon, which definitely comes in handy. It also has a 90 degree front firing arc but this is reserved only for the secondary weapon.The biggest negative about the ship is probably the speed and agility. She is slow and lumbering, which may go against your fondest memories from the films, but in reality she always seemed to put up a fight and take a beating until that inevitable jump to hyperspace.“Stand by, Chewie, here we go.”–Han SoloThis is definitely a must-buy for fans of the game and especially for those that prefer the rebel side. Good luck.

Great value for the money. Expensive to fly points wise. Can take a lot of hits though. Comes with a lot of upgrade cards. Model is very detailed.
