It's funny, people always send me links to star wars merchandise like that. I'm sooooo not interested. I just want accurate replicas. That's all. I have no interest in a falcon shaped drone. Unless it's scaled properly I don't care.

Yup, get stuff like Darth Vader coffee mugs or Star Wars cookie cutters for gifts every year....most get tossed after one use.
Actually I think the Vader coffee mug holds my pencils and pens at work still.

Same here! My aunt gave us a whole star wars baking set for our wedding gift. Never used.
The ONLY thing I love is my artoo mug, which I use every day

I think it is better to adapt the big Revell kit (if you have a spare one) and turn it into something like that. Nevertheless, I like the idea of the multi stand pretty much. It's so ... "nerdy".

When it comes to Star Wars (and most sci-fi), I buy models, 'making of' books (mostly to serve as reference to build models), and maybe a couple t-shirts. Even as a kid I rarely bought or played with sci-fi toys because they never looked like the "real" thing.

I kinda hope that it's a tie-in with the han movie because we might get ANH sidewalls

Maybe, but it is a *young*Han Solo movie, so we could conceivably get a THIRD set of sidewalls...

Different kit boxing's with different sidewalls = winning

A picture of an announced "new" Bandai Falcon...can anyone here read Japaneese? The pictures shows a round dish and a pointed nose...so a 32" version...but what scale?

Scale is unknown. It is a new "vehicle model" just like their Mini Star Destroyer, so it's gonna be about 10 - 12 cm in length.
It is the tiny box scale. They call them Mecha Colle FWIW.

I mean that they will use the physical model to replicate, rather than a digital asset.
That's what I want.

We do not know at this point if a physical model will even be used for the Han Solo film.
To save money I think they will most likely just redress the existing Falcons set prop (digitally removing the extra TESB landing gear) and CGI files.

Mirrored sidewalls aside, the two things that were "off"with the bandai falcon was the size of the transmission pieces on the sides of the mandibles. And also those little "knuckles" where the mandibles meet the top hull felt undersized.
He ship looks far more aggressive on the studio model

I am wondering if those differences appeared on the CGI mesh we saw on screen in TFA- that mesh may not have matched the older studio models used in earlier films.

Amazon now for 34 bucks American and free shipping with prime. Not sure if that works out for people in Canada.
