TheVoidDragon Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) With the alternate-history interpretations of Star Wars Characters that bandai have done (E.g. The samurai Stormtrooper and Ronin Boba Fett), there seems to be huge price differences between them. On Ebay they seem to be around £20 + postage, but at at least 2 retailer sites they've been a lot more - one for £60 with £80 RRP, other £80. I'm assuming the £80 is the more correct price and the cheaper ones will probably be fakes? Edited October 21, 2017 by TheVoidDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 There have been some fakes of the Bandai kits as well, both Darth Vader and the original Stormtrooper have been copied and sold much cheaper and yes the quality was much cheaper too!!

Krachenvogel Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Maybe this is old news, but I just noticed a "standard version" of the 1/72 Millennium Falcon on Bandai's website, scheduled for March of 2018: http://www.bandai-hobby.net/sw/jp/products/millenniumfalcon_72_standard.html It appears to be the same plastic as the version released in 2017, but without the photoetch or LED lighting components, at a lower price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 There is also some question that the Standard Grade Falcon may not have waterslide decals but stickers instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Such a shame! My Bandai "love affair" started so strong! Great kits at great prices! and then came the Falcon! way too much for a 72nd scale Falcon (to me) and this new release is too much for a small kit with no decals, photo etch AND blue engine lenses! I might pay that kind of money for a 48th scale or even twice the money for an even larger scale, BUT a 72nd scale?...seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 There's this chap in box scale http://www.bandai-hobby.net/sw/jp/products/vm.html#vm012 Although I think we've had him mentioned before. Seems to have gone a bit quiet over at Bandai for now, doesn't it? I've now got a growing list of ships I'd like to see kitted, and I can't see why we can't have more figures because we all know from their Black Series that they can do decent faces. Maybe that's why they don't though... so they don't tread on the toes of their other line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone pretty quiet on a lot of boards lately! I think it's because those of us who are rabid SW fans want ships from the old movies and Bandai has to make the ships with the greatest sales potential but so few of us are impressed by any of the "new" designs. I too, have a list of ships and such that I would like to see, but how many others want a probe droid or a 1/12 escape pod to put 3po and r2 in? In regards to that tiny falcon, I would love that one too ( it will go great as scale comparison with my 350th Enterprise) but sadly I cant get those teeney kits here either and will have to order from abroad.

Thanks guys! The new 1/144 Falcon has the corrected mandibles, they were identical and handed but now are different, also the only figures are Chewie and Rey. For those wanting the 1/72 a Falcon Bandai are now listing it in their standard range as well as their PG range, difference being it doesn't have the lights or the PE set and should come in under £300!

Madmonk Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 For those interested, JPG will be bringing out a 1/12 Probe Droid, probably due in March, once the initial run of 1/350 Medical Freighters are cast. Kit will also include a Hoth inspired base and be in the region of £40. I'm putting together a pre-order list so PM me if interested. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just seen this on FB, if its not 'Fake News' they are due out in May!! If you look closely at Luke he is slightly shorter than Han, attention to detail or what!

Andy Moore Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Very interesting. So they're finally doing human faces in the kit line. I assume the 'triaxial jet finish' means the faces are pre-painted? Sounds a bit like the photo real thing that Hasbro do on the black series. It looks like there are two different hip joint pieces (going by the pic bottom right) which should account for the differing heights.

Andy Moore Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I thought I'd post a few pics of Bandai's new box scale AT-M6 for those who might like to see how it looks built up. So far the only completely new tool release from TLJ. A shame as I'd like to see the Resistance Bomber, even if it was only in the box scale range. The walker scales out at approximately 1/550, so it doesn't really fit in with anything else, but I guess that's the scale they needed to go with to get it in the standard box size. Usual Bandai engineering and detail levels. No articulation on the legs, but that would probably be asking a bit much at this scale. (and just for the sake of novelty, how about we don't argue about the film?) A quick scale comparison with Bandai's 1/144 AT-AT And to give some idea of the relative size, this is how they'd look if they were the same scale Andy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) The Silverback would be correct ... Its been discussed ad-nauseum on fansites, and admitted to by Disney effects designers. That being said I like this a lot. And i like the size comparison. It really shows the differences in the two era’s and designs. I agree 110% on the Resistance Bomber.

Bandai 1/72 figures From what I have been able to find out these come as single painted figures with 3 stormtroopers. They work out at about £3.50 (500 Yen) a set, don't know if the final packaging will tell you who you get or if its random! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
