Star Wars new model kits from Bandai

The Executioner looks cool.  Not seeing much added value in the new Phasma and Threepio/Artoo sets though.  I see Goldenrod has got his red arm sorted thoug :shrug:

As a bit of light relief from the rather lacklustre first wave of Last Jedi kits, I've just got the new Vehicle Model A-Wing, so I thought I'd post some sprue shots

Two sprues, first one with the fuselage top and bottom and canopy, and the second with the engines, fins and guns

The detail's not that far off from the 1/72 version, even down to the rivet detail on the panels

Best thing of all, you get two of them in the box

Looking at the pictures, it seems they corrected the mirrored greeblies on the sidewalls of the falcon. But that's all.

I did notice that. I wonder if there are any other minor differences or if that really is the only difference.

I feel the shame.

Here's some very close-up photos of the new Bandai Millennium Falcon..............

Ok...now I did wet my pants! That's the top of the pops now...I already have Bandai's 1/144 Falcon and thought it was very good, this one tops everything I have ssen so far. I so much hope Bandai will find a way to sell it in Europe as well. The issue here is that Revell holds a Europe wide licence for StarWars kits and Badai only has it for Asia. Anyway...time to start saving some cash!

 

cheers

I had a mosey round the Disney Store's Star Wars section last night, and noticed a couple of ships that aren't in Bandai's initial announcement, probably so it doesn't spoil the WOW! factor when it comes out.  There was Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter, and a couple more in Lego, so I'd imagine we'll be seeing these in due course :)

From the Lego site:

 

Resistance Bomber https://www.lego.com/en-gb/starwars/products/resistance-bomber-75188

The Arrowhead https://www.lego.com/en-gb/starwars/products/the-arrowhead-75186

Tracker https://www.lego.com/en-gb/starwars/products/tracker-i-75185

Jakku Quadjumper https://www.lego.com/en-gb/starwars/products/jakku-quadjumper-75178

 

There's a load more, but you get the jist, and I bet we'll see some or all these in due course care of Bandai.  How about Krennic's shuttle?  That would look nice in 1:144 ;)

Star Wars question, but not Bandai, sorry.

A three legged walker with a seat & cannon on top?

Not sure what this thing is, maybe from clone wars?

 

I got a large toy version at the car boot for a pound.

Bits missing but I only need the two back legs for a

future walker project anyway.

 

Still, any info gratefully received.

Cheers

It's an AT-AP, as you say from the clone wars

Eventually I'll get around to detailing and repainting this one

I think only the Bomber is from the new movie - the Arrowhead and Tracker are from one of the EU series?

 

I would love a model of the Quadjumper though :)
