Madmonk Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It looks like the limited edition B-Wing does come with Ten Numb and the lighting unit. It is a USA limited edition that was released a week ago, a month before the general release and a quick check on eBay has revealed that you will have to part with around 100 of your British beer tokens to get one.

Nocoolname Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 But why are they making them so small? With kits like the X-Wing, Speeder Bike, AT-ST and most especially the Millennium Falcon PG they set the bar in what could be achieved for larger SW kits but they've decided to focus on 'toy scale' instead. At least Zvezda made an effort with their Star Destroyer. What I wouldn't do for their recent releases in 1/48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misrule Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 From what I've read it's because Japanese collectors don't have a huge amount of space so they tend to make smaller scales, when they do monster kits it tends to be because the fans petition for them or there is potential foreign demand. I suspect they'll sell more Falcons abroad than domestically for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portaler Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Does anyone have basic dimensions (LxBxH) for the Bandai 1/72 B-Wing ? (without stand) Can't seem to find them anywhere online. Anyone else know of a build thread ? I assume some people have the Con version already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The new Vader looks good. I always thought the first Bandai Vader had a strange Helmet. Hope it was just me or they have made a better helmet now. Otherwise I would just leave it off (I guess they include a helmet???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The new Darth Vader kit is up on the Bandai Star Wars site, set for a December release. https://bandai-hobby.net/sw/jp/products/darthvader_return_jedi.html#content05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Is it me or does the full helmet look odd? Maybe not so much of a problem as you can simply leave it off, but I ... well it seems to me that nobody ever did a good representation in kit form regarding this helmet. Anybody else?
