Topic: Great kits coming from Bandai

Bandai gets better and better.
The interchangeable bipod is a very nice addition.

  Sweet! Bandai is making a TIE fighter/TIE advanced two pack in their non specific scale line, basically an F-toys remake. I hope it comes out to 1/144, so it will match the X-Wing and Y-wing. Either way, they are really detailed.

   I also came across a picture of a possible longterm lineup in the F-toys remake line. I can't say it's 100% real. As we all know, not everything on the Internet is true. But it looks authentic. Death star, AT-AT  and Super Star Destroyer  would be awesome. I wouldn't mind having the prequel kits either.

   Also, details are out on 1/144 TIE striker, U-wing and imperial hover tank combo. The cost is 2,376 JPY, so about 20 USD give or take. Those will be cool.

Great news. Thanks for sharing. Let me go share it.

  So Bandai is making a couple of Yoda kits. It's a two for one deal. A 1/6 prequel Yoda, and a 1/12 Yoda statue (no articulation). It's kind of odd, but this would be first non armoured figure in kit form. I would get it just for the ESB yoda statue. I think they are going for about 30 USD.

   Also in March comes the 1/144 AT-AT. I think im the last one to know about this. I didn't find out until yesterday on the BBTS ad. But anyway. Its all up on their official website.

  Comes with little tiny drivers and looks like alternate hydraulic inserts fot the legs, depending on the position you place it.

Well thats cool. I will definitely plan to get that AT-AT. Off to share the news.

   I've been waiting for the AT-AT ever since that video of the mechanized one back in 2014 or 15 .   <iframe width="320" height="480" src="

That was a while ago.  It's interesting that it comes with 2 sitting drivers, that leads me to believe the interior is detailed too, like the AT-ST. that would be cool to have a cutaway crossection option. It's certainly the most detailed and accurate production AT-AT model kit , by far. And 1/144 is respectable, 6" tall, packed with detail.
That 1/12 Yoda has potential, and the young yoda to me is the bonus.
Here's a cool promo video with english subtitles.

Pretty cool. I can't wait for that AT-AT. Off to share this video.

Here's a couple of updates. 1/2 scale BB-8. WHUUT!
 1/144 snowspeeder and AT-ST, to go along with the AT-AT.
Transparent Darth Vader hologram figure.

A lot of stuff I like. That Vader hologram looks fantastic though.

I cannot wait till I see that AT-AT go up for order. Thanks for sharing, now let me go do the same.

   More bandai news. Nothing big really, mostly repacks, and repaints. June you get a 1/48 snowspeeder along with the 1/144 version, but this time they are with orange markings instead of grey. July, Jango Fett's Slave I. Also in july comes jedi starfighter (no image available) in the small vehicle series. 

[Tamer]

Sweet. Off to share the news.

     Check out this General Grivious! Holy moly!
Release date end of july. Price 4,860 JPY, so 48. USD, thereabouts.

Yup. The AT-AT is out now.  Amazon prime has it for $49.98. Not a bad deal really.

I am gonna get one today. I will get two eventually, but a good boxed one for my collection for sure.
