Ask anyone who played both versions (or even the cockpit only) and they will explain why you should get the cockpit. It's simply 500% more the real SW experience.

The cockpits are actually less rare than the upright on mainland Europe. I've seen a couple of cockpits found here (Speleo, Luc, myself) and ALL the uprights I've seen so far are either imported from the US or were in the UK. Granted, the one's that Luc and Speleo found were empty shells.......I think I'm still the only guy around who found one completely in tact on mainland Europe.(well under active forum members that is, there's also people who collect who either only read forums or are not active on the internet at all.....)

The only advantage that the upright has is that it needs less space.

Didn't Paul have an upright in his container ? Or was that one reserved already ?

A guy in Denmark had one for sale at one time - but he wanted around 1300-1400€ for it i think, so it didn't sell..

Looked nice though, but for that kind of money, one would prefer the cockpit version.

Yes he does. If people are interested in an upright Star Wars in that pricerange, I could write to him and ask if it's still for sale.

He still has the game, but it's in storage until he's done renovating their house.

He will contact me when the time comes and the game is out of storage.
