So no Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon?
AFAIK, there has been no new news either way about the possibility. If it happens, I would bet on it being at least late 2017 - possibly in advance of Episode VIII. Or if not then, in advance of the Han Solo movie. I.e. when there's a movie coming with the Falcon in it

I thought it looked quite good, it just needs a few tweaks.

Dude. I'm not the one who doesn't recognize the 32"er as a legitimate falcon.
And if you want to see me really happy, find me after I watched the entire Darth maul arc on the clone wars

I love the 32".....I have models of it,.....but I know it's purpose & prefer the first one built,...the one that had a lot more effort put into it,....& so does ILM

Which display Falcon are we referring to? Because I -- and only I -- are the final arbiter of whether it is good or not. :cheers
I'm gonna hold my breath until Bandai gives us a Star Destroyer or a Blockade Runner.

That little Falcon is adorbs (as my teenage daughter would say).
Yes, Bandai should do a Tantive IV. Why model companies continue to make kits of every other ship except this one is one of the great mysteries of the hobby.

Yes,....especially now it has been in this recent film,....I have a lot of love for that ship,....after all, it was the first one I saw on screen back in '78
It's been in the Prequels,...cartoons, R1, SW,.. & ROTJ
It's been brought up before,.....but what scale do you think would be a realistic scale for Bandai?

Here's me being pedantic. The ROTJ A-Wing hasn't yet appeared in Rebels. The one in Rebels is an earlier "unmodified" version based on a McQuarrie painting. Not quite defined as a variant, but not just a repaint of the ILM physical model. The one in Ep VIII also appears to be fairly different.
I'd be really surprised if Bandai didn't do a B-Wing. It was definitely in RO and its a fan favorite. In fact, I bet we see if before next Christmas.
Based on the Yamato kit line, I am guessing if they do one, it will probably be 1/500 or 1/1000, although 1/350 could be a possibility as well.
Unlike the B-Wing and some of the other forgotten about ships, it really is such an iconic ship.
We've got a glut of Star Destroyers recently, it's about time for this one

Despite the powers that be saying the ship in ROTS was the same one in ANH, I can't buy it. I don't mind the different paint job or the extra lights -- or even the additional hanger bay -- but the proportions are just too different. Whatever ILM artist was in charge of creating that asset didn't do their homework.
Given Bandai's preference for smaller kits (their new stormie notwithstanding), I can see them making it in the same scale as their new tiny Falcon (whatever scale that is). That would actually make a decent sized kit -- about 10" long maybe?
