Yeah, over time the Defiant's gantry wheels will warp until it's no longer supported by them, but I think we can chalk that up to the designers not planning for people to still want them in good shape after 20 years. And they did cram a ton of functionality and detail into the thing. Makes me wish I had one . . .

Bad news. Apparently, it's now $179.

....it looks awesome, but $180 is way too much for me. I was hesitant at $100.

Yeah, but thats a KB toys computer, KB always charges more than anyone else. So 179 at K B will probably end up as 159 at Target and TRU, and $139 at Wal*Mart.

Great. That means $300 over here. Will definitely still get the bastard though!

"Dear Mr. Lucas,

I have been a Star Wars fan since I was six years old. Over the years I have purchased 1000s of dollars of your products. I have hundreds, if not thousands of action figures. I have paperbacks, comic books, Non-Fiction books, Essential Guides, Artwork books, Behind the Scenes books, and numerous other Star Wars tie-ins, plus various editions of the movies themselves, plus a whole lot of other toys.

I have defended your vision time and time again. I even liked Jar Jar Binks, and was amazed how he was in the position to have the fate of the Galaxy in his hands.

I have also enjoyed watching other movie and television productions that you have hand a hand in over the years. I have watched 'Howard the Duck' without cringing, and 'Radioland Murders' is one of my all-time favorites. i can't begin to list all the productions that your Empire has had a hand in.

This summer has a new Indiana Jones movie being released, so you can count on me to do my part and purchase the novelization, the various movie tie-in books, the DVD release, and the action figures.

I have also purchased many video games that take place in your various galaxies, some I have specifically purchased a new video game system just to be able to play the games.

I look forward to the newest game that comes out later this year: "Force Unleashed" and have already gotten some of the figures as I have found them.

My license plate reflects my love and devotion to Star Wars.

I have created fan-fic characters that inhabit a small section of your galaxy.

Please reward this humble fan by sending me the new Millenium Falcon, as mentioned in this thread.

Until I'm one with the Force,
Dark Jedi"
