This is excellent news! But the article keeps on specifying "vehicle kits" so are we to assume that the 1:12 figure kits are not included in this distribution deal? That would be sad as I wants me some more droids and stormtroopers!

This is great news. Hopefully retailers won't slap huge mark-ups on these. I'll gladly pay local sales tax instead of shipping so at least the money is going toward infrastructure and services in my area. It's a great start that these will be at B&N and LHS, but hopefully in the future they'll expand to retailers like Target and Walmart so that more consumers can see what's available. The more new and young people that come into the hobby, the more kits Bandai can make and, hopefully, competitors' kits (looking at you Revell) will improve as well.
