Mechleader Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) AND Sorry blurry pics...still trying to work this new camera. Edited November 24, 2004 by Mechleader Quote
bsu legato Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Great stuff, Mechleader. You need a FM Slave 1 for your collection! Quote
zeo-mare Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 very nice i almost got the jedi starfighter but it looked so small. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 very nice i almost got the jedi starfighter but it looked so small. It is tiny, but the hyperdrive ring kind of makes up for it. But you might as well buy it, since it looks like there isn't going to be anymore FM Star Wars model in the forseeable future. However, artwork for Ertl's new Revenge of the Sith kits has leaked onto the net! Can you say "New Jedi Starfighter?" Quote
EXO Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 SNOWSPEEDER Hey! It's Tony Montana's snowspeeder! Quote

Sarensaas Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 it looks like there isn't going to be anymore FM Star Wars model in the forseeable future. Yea, it has been a while since the announcement of a new FM SW kit. I really want them to make a Y-wing and a Millenium Falcon. I hope Lucas didn't cancel their deal with them. I thought FM should have done a Y-wing instead of the Slave one kit. I think it would have sold better. Quote

Graham Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 However, artwork for Ertl's new Revenge of the Sith kits has leaked onto the net! Can you say "New Jedi Starfighter?" Where? Linky Linky? Graham Quote
bsu legato Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Where? Linky Linky?Graham Since they're all over the net, I'll just repost 'em here for all to enjoy. BTW, I think these aren't actual pics of the models, but are actually renders (probably of the ILM digital models). Quote
bsu legato Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 And sharp eyed viewers will recognize this beheamoth as the deleted Tank droid from AOTC. It would seem he's been rescued from the cuttign room floor and given a new lease on life. Quote
Max Jenius Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 SNOWSPEEDER Hey! It's Tony Montana's snowspeeder! Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw it. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 And just a final note; There's at least two more kits that have not been named yet. Hopefully one of them will be the Republic Gunship, which apparently will be seen again in Sith. Quote
Graham Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Hey! It's Tony Montana's snowspeeder! Err.......I don't get it, can somebody explain? Who's Tony Montana? Graham Quote
Graham Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 But you might as well buy it, since it looks like there isn't going to be anymore FM Star Wars model in the forseeable future. Why do you say that? Have you heard any official news that FM has lost their SW licence or something? Graham Quote

Just read on theforce.net that Code3 will be releasing a Republic Gunship Man, I love the Gunship, but $285 is a big chunk of cash. Graham Quote
Zentrandude Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 the speeder is making my hungry. looks like a tasty starwars pie. Quote
bsu legato Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) But you might as well buy it, since it looks like there isn't going to be anymore FM Star Wars model in the forseeable future. Why do you say that? Have you heard any official news that FM has lost their SW licence or something? Just conjecture, really. With their first 4 kits, they were fairly even spaced apart, and announced well in advance. But since all the delays with Slave 1 and its eventual release, we haven't heard anything from Fine Molds at all. Hopefully they're just taking a breather on the Star Wars kits (they're still a fairly small company) before Revenge hits. Edited November 25, 2004 by bsu legato Quote
Graham Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I've also been thinking it's probably because they are a small company, so it takes time to get new kits into production. I also bet that the sales of Slave 1 were not that great (stupid elephant head looking thing IMO), so they maybe choosing their next SW prooject more carefully. Let's hope that they eventually get around to making the Falcon, Y-Wing and Snow Speeder. Oh and of course the Republic Gunship. I'm also a pretty big fan of the AT-TE as well. Clone Troopers and their vehicles rock! Graham Quote
fearyaks Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Hey! It's Tony Montana's snowspeeder! Err.......I don't get it, can somebody explain? Who's Tony Montana? Graham Is that a scarface reference? Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah, Tony Montana was Scarface in the movie. That was his name. Quote
Feyd-Rautha Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 and he was a big timecoke-head/dealer... Quote
zeo-mare Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 to be quite honest the new jedi starfighter is ugly, i would not mind a kit of the new X wing style vehicle, yes the Y wing would be cool. the droid tie fighters from episode 1 were not to bad looking either (heck they could even transform into gerwalk mode). and yea that was a scarface reference Tony spent most of the movie either face down in cocaine or killing people (god what a great movie), the snow speeder looks like it is face down in a pile of cocaine as well, so EXO figured it belonged to him Quote
Feyd-Rautha Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 i really digg the jedi star fighter!!!!!!!!! its just growing on me more and more each time i look at it..its got a creepy, stunted,freekish cooless too it ...irresistable !!!! Quote
Graham Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 The only thing I don't like about the new Jedi Starfighter is the design of the cockpit. I think it would have looked better with a pointy nose cockpit rather than someting that looks like the Millenium Falcon rammed a TIE Fighter up the ass (sorry if that's too graphic) Graham Quote
Mechleader Posted November 25, 2004 Author Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) Hi, I have the FM Slave 1 and teh TIE Interceptor. Hopefully FM will comtinue making more!!!! Yea the Jedi Starfigter is small and the decals become a pain after a while but it's still a cool model! Edited November 25, 2004 by Mechleader Quote
zeo-mare Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 can you post pics of the slave 1, that one looked real nice. Quote
Mechleader Posted November 26, 2004 Author Posted November 26, 2004 Hi, I have to build it first. Lol. Quote
