Given what they've proven they can do with the battle droid figure, there's no reason they couldn't do a fully articulated GG. It also gives me hope that one day they'll also do an Imperial probe droid.

The Droideka is one of my favorite droids- I would get several of that kit!YEP! It would fold up and roll...
Just when I thought Bandai could not possibly get any better!...........BAM!!!
THIS is why I would walk past any other brand to buy their kits!..... I only hope and prey that they start producing kits in all genres so I never again have to spend hours upon hours trying to hide horrible gaps and trying to add detail that should already be there!
BANDAI RULES!

Preach. I love their Star Wars kits, and I'd go to heaven if they started doing Trek kits again.
The panel lines in their X-Wings and Y-Wings due to molding for separately color pieces?
I agree Bandai has the best toolings to date for Star Wars stuff, and the figure lines have been amazing, but the over-engineering of seperately molded color panels on the 1/72 stuff rather than just relying on stickers/decals is very frustrating.
I skipped filling gaps on my X-wing and instead built it, then painted it and regret it every time I look at it
I did do this with the T-70, but had a hard time not screwing up the details.
Same with the yellow parts on the Y-wing
I prefer Fine Molds engineering as far as the 1/72 kits, but Bandai's detail quality

They did some years ago- I have a complete set. Prepainted Snap with complete lighting down to the navigation lights. I hope they repop that series someday and expand upon it.I could die happy if they did Trek kits

I'll go with droideka, especially if Bandai can figure a way to make it transform into a rolling configuration. That being said, I think the probot would be a better seller among older fans here in the U.S. I, of course, would buy them both in a heartbeat!

If we get a Probe Droid before I have a Blockade Runner I will stop buying Bandai models!

Has there ever been a kit of the Block runner? Seems like a huge missed opportunity. Would love to have one.
I have a Blockade Runner electric toy about 10" long I like just because it's the only representation I've seen.

Unlicensed resin garage kits, yes; one, at least. Licensed styrene "walk into you local hobby shop and get yours now" kits, no. Not yet, anyway.

The X-wing miniature game released a good sized metal Blockade Runner a while back. Some mentioned it was inaccurate, however it makes a nice display piece.

I agree,....I've done this rant before,.....everyone knows that the Blockade Runner was supposed to be 'The Pirate Ship' in Star Wars,....they spent a third of the model making budget on that one model......it later was modified into the Blockade Runner.....
It has been in ROTJ,.....& the Prequels,....cartoons.....possibly in Rogue One
What size would it be compared to the 1/350 Falcon......would that be a reasonable scale?
Joe Johnston sketch;
...although,....things got messed up in ROTJ????
The canon length of a BR is 126.68m,....the Falcon is 34.75 m,....so is roughly 3 1/2 the size of the BR......so 1/350 would be a nice size of a model

I'm not a fan of the large retconned blockade runner. It doesnt make sense. Those nubs on the bottom of the ship are clearly supposed to be the escape pods.
And whenever we see people standing next to a docked on on rebels, it isn't nearly that size.
For that matter, star wars has never had star ship scale look right when we actually see people next to it.
