SCORE!!! That monster shuttle playset is MINE!!! Because, you see, according to the extra pics she sent me, that lid flips up into a multi-level play-/display-area (which Narce has verified). I'm paying more in shipping than I paid for the ships.
NOW I'm wondering if I can customize/rebuild that beyotch into a Ghtroc 720-series freighter!!
After a quick study of
Frank Bonura's deckplans page, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Or, more accurately, "Not fast, cheap, nor easily." That's ok - the toy will no doubt help churn my imagination as I play with it. I dream of a proper action-fig-scale Ghtroc, but it would easily outsize the BMF. I'll settle for a playable BMF-sized one.
Bid is in on the bundle of small shuttles, too.
And - MAN!!! I found control centers for the crawler piece of this playset. I could make a Star Destroyer "bridge-pit" out of those! Or Fixer's engineering room! Lotta dio potential in them! sweeeeet!!!
