Well, the Millennium Falcon building was sold on the PSOL.

http://www.propstore.com/product-Millennium-Falcon-Miniature-Building-Set-Piece.htm

It was listed on the PSOL a few years back (along with the Hades landscape pieces and Sebastian's overalls). I'm not sure if it sold back then and now was being resold (or if it was in storage).

The last time it was listed, I'm pretty sure there was information about new fiber optic lighting that was installed. I remember it was listed for around 14K, but didn't catch what it went for this time because PSOL removes the price once it sells.

Just thought I'd archive the description and the photos for the board.

Feel free to discuss - it's a really cool (and famous) piece of BR history.

Millennium Falcon Miniature Building Set Piece

Stock # 14667

The ‘Millennium Falcon’ miniature building set piece used in the Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott masterpiece Blade Runner. This large-scale set piece which began life as a Millennium Falcon miniature constructed by an ILM model maker, appeared in the cityscape overflight scenes of Blade Runner, standing upright and lighted as a building in the acid-rain soaked future city. It is seen most clearly during a Spinner take-off sequence at the beginning of the film, when Deckard leaves the Noodle Bar to meet Bryant at the Police Station.

Started by Bill George (model-maker for ILM and the principal model builder for the Spinner) as an aside project.

I just saw the Falcon building on the Dangerous Days Blu-Ray Final Cut. Amazing to have it as a building. Thought someone would have more details on here. Thanks oldzey.
