Big s Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I wish I had an X-wing parking space and an X-wing to park. Quote
calubin_175 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Coming in July 2016: Bandai 1/72 TIE Interceptor, 12.2cm long. Comes with pilot, clear and opaque cockpits, laser effect. Quote

Chronocidal Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Awesome news, I'll have to pick up a few of those. Quote
electric indigo Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 There has to be a real surprise announcement, too... Quote
Dobber Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 As much as I'm really wanting a classic Star Destroyer in a reasonable size, IMO around 12", I am really wanting something of the new Star Destroyer Finalizer. I really like the design. Come on Bandai, give us some capital ships that are not tiny! Chris Quote

calubin_175 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 No photos allowed! Very pleased to see a Y-wing mecha colle, now I don't have to buy any of the 1/72 ones. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 A Wing, Tie Intercepter bought no question. I kinda like the battle droid on the flying thing to. Kinda nice they might give the prequels some model love! Quote
Dobber Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 While I won't get them, I was amused with the 3PO with the battle droid body and visa versa. Chris Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Going to be grabbing at least 3 each of those A-Wings and Ties. I might even expand all my kits to groups of 4. Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Great! Both the TIE interceptor and Awing look fab! Have always loved the more aggressive look of the TIE interceptor. 😁 For OT, that just leaves the Bwing and the TIE bomber. Not terribly excited with the mecha colle stuff, but will still pick up a star destroyer, hope it's a teaser for a larger one down the road Edited May 14, 2016 by the_foul_fowl Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 http://stevethefishdotnet.tumblr.com/tagged/star-destroyer As much as I think the mecha colle star destroyer being too small, the detail on it is pretty sharp. Could pick up a few of these for a quick build. maybe mod to light up with LEDs and some pin holes? Quote
Dobber Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Man I hope the SD happens but the caption says "under approval" what does that mean? Should it say "under review for approval" or something? On some other forums I frequent people have said that this SD is not the one that has made the rounds last year at hobby shows and that this one is a little smaller, which is good to me Chris Quote
Big s Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 That was epic. Too bad bandai doesn't include waterslides with all their series of kits. Quote
seti88 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Hey has anyone gotten their 1/72 A-wing model kit yet? 1. I see some kits advertised online with the turbo laser and some adverts without the turbo laser wording (doesnt show in their sample pic either). Am wondering if the turbo laser is included as standard or not. 2. How come i cant find em on the usual ami/HLJ/HS sites? Quote

Am wondering if the turbo laser is included as standard or not. 2. How come i cant find em on the usual ami/HLJ/HS sites? To answer number 2, it's because of licensing restrictions. Not sure exactly which company (main suspects are Disney and Revell) is causing the screws to be tightened down. I have had good luck finding the kits on Amazon, of all places, and at reasonable prices. Once the hype dies down a bit. Quote
seti88 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Funny i tot they were on the usual online retailer stores..I know my local online stores stock bandai star wars, but no a-wing so far. Thanks, yeah i found some even on amazon jp too. Though i havent really ordered via amazon jp b4. (I have loads of items in my cart tho lol) I just dont want to get an A-wing kit without the turbo laser add-on.. Quote
captain america Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 My heart goes pitty-patt at the idea of a 1/72 Aluminum Falcon. Having gotten the 1/144 kit and marveled at the detail, I can just imagine how purely awesome it would be. Here's to hoping for a future release to go with the other 1/72 kits. *Prays to the plamo gods* Quote
Big s Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I didn't much care for the prequel movies, but I kinda want that battle droid. Maybe I'll make it messed up a bit or something Quote
seti88 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Not sure if these were mentioned b4 but incoming kits.... via tag hobby... 1/12 bb-8 1/72 fan-fav..with whats seems to be the death star plate? 1/12 battle droid and vehicle... 1/72 poe xwing and... 1/12 clone troopers... Edited June 9, 2016 by seti88 Quote
Big s Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 1/12bb8is already out in a two pack with r2. The other stuff has been announced but those are new pics. Quote
Kelsain Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) 1/12bb8is already out in a two pack with r2. The other stuff has been announced but those are new pics. The card actually say 1/2 scale, so it should roll in at about 1' tall. I wish the battle droids came in a 2 pack, rather than with the STAP. The STAP is cool, but I'm not thrilled about paying 4500Y for a single battle droid. Multiple clones will be arriving at my house... Edited June 9, 2016 by Kelsain Quote
derex3592 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) ..."it should roll in at about 1 foot"..I see what you did there! Ohhh....I wonder how much that 1/2 BB-8 will set us back??? The 1/12 is one of the best kits I've built..so cool. I'm all in for one battledroid on a flying thing, probably pass on the clone troopers, and man ohh man am I glad I already spent 8 months of my life and got my 1:72 Falcon out of the way! Although I would do it again..it's such a great kit and fun build. . One has to wonder if it is gonna be as insane as the Finemolds kit was, or has Bandai redesigned it from the ground up???

electric indigo Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 More pics here (scroll down): http://ameblo.jp/digitamin/entry-12169088011.html I need some clones... Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm personally more interested in the Bandai Falcon than I would be in a Fine Molds one, just for ease of assembly (and probably crisper molding). I doubt that base is included though, since it's big enough for several models, and probably just for display. On the other hand, the individual tiles already exist in the other kits, so it would be easy to put a bunch of them together. Maybe at some point they'll release a bundle pack of assorted base plates to build larger displays for yourself. As nice as those plates are, they're not really big enough individually to mount multiple models together without them running into each other. They really need extra plates to act as spacers. Quote
Dobber Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm not jumping for joy just yet....Bandai has previously showed a 1/2 scale R2, the big Star Destroyer, a 1/12 Vader TIE X-1, and a motorized AT-AT. NONE of which have come to be as of yet. Time will tell I guess. That being said, I do like that the Falcon is the ANH version without the extra landing gear housings. Chris Quote
captain america Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 That being said, I do like that the Falcon is the ANH version without the extra landing gear housings. Chris Smart move on Bandai's behalf, since I'm sure that they will offer a version with the extra gear and boxes later, knowing that die-hards will want both versions. It also looks like the sidewalls are Original Trilogy versions. The Captain approves! Quote
Big s Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Seti88 listed it as 1/12 bb8 and after looking at those pics the 1/12 set is next to the 1/2 scale version on the post which was why I got a bit confused. That's the Godzilla of bb8's compared to the other one. Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Before you start prepping your wallet, the 1/2 BB-8 and 1/72 Millennium Falcon have 参考出品 on their display cards, which I think means "display only", as in no plans for sale yet. The others list a date they become available to buy. Quote
