You don't have to be a child to appreciate how awesome the RC Millennium Falcon is. Hasbro has finally made my childhood dreams of piloting Han Solo's super space cruiser a reality. I could cry right now.
The RC Millennium Falcon will debut this fall and cost $49.99--money well spent, if you ask me. This replica isn't nearly as big or bad as the real deal, it only measures 11" x 8", and has a flight time of five minutes. Still, I'd drop half a Benjamin to spend five minutes in Han Solo's shoes.
