I just checked out one of the local places.
Basically, the a-wing was $39. However, from the Tokyo model detective, it's $27 plus shipping, whatever that is.

For it's size the detail looks far better than the Revell.

A few reasons to buy local is it's quicker, you don't need to worry about damage during shipment, and if you like having local hobby shops around buying things there keeps them in business.

Hi I've been lurking these boards and a few others for over a year, always forgetting to register. I'm affiliated with Bluefin, the company that Bandai uses to distribute the Star Wars products to U.S. retailers. I am not from Bandai Japan itself, but I am in constant communication and reporting with their departments on a daily basis. I am a model enthusiast though my subject material is often not dedicated to firm accuracy, but instead what new creative interpretations that could be inserted into that source material. More or less I'm a big airplane and sci-fi fan.
I just wanted to update on the following U.S. schedule that Disney/Lucas has authorized Bandai Japan to put into the U.S. thus far. These will be available at u.s. local hobby shops as well as online stores.

I'd prefer that myself. They really captured Yoda's moment of serenity in that sculpt.WAAAAA... why isn't the ep5 Yoda 1:6 scale. It looks so awesome.

Considering that fact that I'm now seeing those models in mom and pop shops here in Toronto, I'd say yesHi Derringer, do you know if Hobby Lobby is going to carry Bandai Star Wars models?
Yeah, can't wrap my head around why they didn't.
Those are both for the 1/6 scale Prequel Trilogy CG Yoda, not the 1/12 scale Original Trilogy puppet Yoda; you can tell by the sculpt.I think it has two heads for that same possibility?

They look TERRIBLE. it looks like a Lego design. I don't even think we saw them move in the film.I'm in. I still think the flapping solar panels are kind of silly, but I like the Striker a whole lot more than the First Order (let's just reverse the colors) TIEs. Now if they'd do the U-Wing in 1/72 then the two could sit nicely side by side on my shelf.
I prefer the TIE Landing Craft seen here to the Striker; the Striker's cockpit/fuselage section looks like a suppository.I'm in. I still think the flapping solar panels are kind of silly, but I like the Striker a whole lot more than the First Order (let's just reverse the colors) TIEs...
