Mike Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 We should probably stop wishing, and go back to concentrating on the kits that we KNOW are coming. We could end up like the Airfix (current_year++) thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with the ISD would be the maximum gap you need between the Tx/Rx which is typically 10-20mm so seeing the underside would be difficult.

Was looking hard for a 1/72 U-Wing but found nothing !! Anyone know if Bandai typically show stuff at Celebration ?

Saw the same video and one from the London Toy Show where the person posting the video went on to the Bandai stand were there was no Star Wars items and was told that Bandai don't do Star Wars! When presented with pictures of all the great kits was then told they don't sell to the UK because the market isn't big enough! No mention of it really being a licensing issue.

They did have some stuff on show here... http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Toy_Fair_2017_Bluefin_Distribution_Tamashii_Nations_Bandai_Hobby_172640.asp Nothing new to us but it does at least confirm Bandai is putting the fighter kits out in the US. There was also a look at their BB8 kit somewhere, but I think that was Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portaler Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So, I just got the "Art of Rogue One" book with all the concept art. Was only €20 on Amazon, what a steal. They are so good, infact almost too good as you end up wishing why didn't they add this, or that. Reinforces my wish though that Bandai do a U-Wing in 1/72 scale to fit with all their other models. I really recommend it to anyone who doesn't have it and is a Star Wars fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bandai have just officially put the 1:2 BB-8 up on their website, along with the box scale AT-ST and snow speeder.

Mike Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 A couple of boxes of those and a 1:144 AT-AT, and you're in business for a Hoth diorama, the base of which doesn't have to be measured in Hectares 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portaler Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 All very quiet on Britmodeller at the moment. Do Bandai have any typical release windows or times of year where they release more product ? Do they take advantage of Star Wars Celebration for example ? That is coming up in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 There doesn't appear to be any science behind Bandai's releases, some seem to have a long known lead time then others like the 1/6 Yoda just appear out of the blue. As Bandia have only just started to allow a small number of kits to be officially sold in the US I doubt there will be anything released at Celebration. The he next big one for me is the AT-AT.

Geoff_B Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Don't forget they will be doing there bit for the Sept release of 'The Last Jedi' merchandise which could effect kit development in the next few months as they like to have some of that stuff ready in the shops ahead of the Movie release in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Looks like the next kits are re-releases with a tweak. The SNowspeeder is back but this time the 1/48 is packed with a 1/144 version, and Slave 1 is back but in Jango Fett markings from the prequels. After that there is a 1/144 Jedi fighter out in the mecha scale kits, looks like the triangular Episode II version to match Jango's Slave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 IIRC the 1:144 Jedi Fighter also includes the Hyperspace Ring. I have the Finemolds 1:72 kit of the same subject- that fighter is super tiny even at that scale... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 There is only one left!!! JPG won't be doing any more until July time so I could always bring you one to Driffield later in the year if you go to that show, I can do you a payment plan as well!!

The Chief Smeg Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 You are a BAD Man tempting me like this. And Driff is not far from me either. I'd better say no though as Mrs Chief Smeg will not be impressed if I go and buy this. Many thanks for the offer though. I'll be coming to Driffield show though so I'll say hi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
