Millennium Falcon Month, Day 5: Collector Watch Case

5 Watch MF

My lovely wife (who is leaning over my shoulder and reading this as I type) snagged this one for me one day back in 1996 or 1997. I can't remember if it was a Christmas or a birthday present or what. I like it because it looks classy. You know, like some brushed aluminum antique Millennium Falcon or something. It also came with a Darth Vader watch, which was just a wrist strap with Darth Vader's head on it. Flipping the face open revealed a simple LCD instead of the lifeless face of Luke Skywalker with smoke billowing from his eye socket like I hoped. I still have the watch somewhere. I think.

BONUS ITEM: If you open up the case, there's a tiny little map of the galaxy inside! Unfortunately, the Kessel Run is not marked.

Dude you should mod that watch so it has the lifeless face of Luke Skywalker with smoke billowing from his eye socket like you hoped. That would be awesome.

Thats Spiffy! Lets see the inside.

Walmart has a medium sized Lego Millenium Falcon out this summer to look forward to add to your collection!
