Mike Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Could it be Starkiller Base? Doesn't that leave the death Stars looking a bit schmall? That's no moon - it's a melon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Shame they couldn't drop the scale down a digit. A 55-59 cm Death Star would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Death Star II then. Bit small, but I'll buy one all the same. Andy 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'll probably get one too, but if Tilly gets it, she'll gnaw it to bits in seconds... she's ball obsessed! (oh, and a dog in case there was any doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rwa66 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Looks good, I may get one. I noticed a mention of 1-72 mini figures to be released spring/summer, I wonder if these will be similar to the ones originally included with the 1-72 x-wings etc?

Andy Moore Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) And the best thing about, of course, is the pilot. Ten Numb, the greatest Rebel pilot of them all (in my opinion) Andy Edited April 23, 2018 by AndyRM101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Oh, and the fact that it has LED lighting for the engines is pretty cool. Not included with the main kit though, which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I thought he was called Nien Numb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Nien was on the Falcon with Lando. Ten was piloting a B-Wing. They look pretty much identical apart from the outfits though. Nien had a jumpsuit and a waistcoat and Ten had the pilot gear with the chest pack. Nien is in the new films as well Andy Edited April 23, 2018 by AndyRM101 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwa66 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 These bandai kits are so very nice looking, I had not planned on getting very many but can see myself getting a few more. The B -wing looks very nice. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portaler Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Surely there's gotta be a better way to display it that with the clear monstrosity ? How are people planning to display this ? Landed flat on the ground ? (is there actually landing gear with it ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithman Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think that because we all have such different tastes and cost of production, no one can ever make a stand that all, or even most people like. I myself mount mine on thin rods (tubes if they are lit) but I have to admit, when ya think about it Bandai did a great job on their solid, functional stands and their DS tiles are added gravy. one of my x-wings, y-wing, a-wing I scratched gear and display them that way the others (TIE etc) are on thin blsck rods. This one however is a conundrum for me! I think it would look better in flight on a thin rod, BUT on the other hand makng a believable landing gear and showing it that way would be quite interesting! DANGITT! I think I will HAVE to get two!🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturnapollo Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Yes, I know about that one - and no I don't have £185 to spare. No, what I meant was between Bandai and the other mainstreeam kit manufactuers, virtuallly every Star Wars vehicle has been covered including ones you barely see on film, but nobody has chosen to do a TIE Bomber, which I find strange.
