Bandai release schedule

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.

Yeah,...I see your point,...theres a shop in Belfast that sells Bandai Gundam stuff a third more expensive that you can get them online,...its the price you pay for convenience
If you guys were getting the models at the same price as Japanese customers I'd be jealous

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.

Hi Derringer, do you know if Hobby Lobby is going to carry Bandai Star Wars models?
 
The lil Yoda will be great with a 1/12 Luke and R2-D2 on Dagobah. Yoda is so well sculpted, i really look forward to seeing the rest of the 1/12 figures with faces, id have them all.. well except for Jar Jar :p

I was looking at one of Bandai's kits earlier with a magnifying glass, the detail is so tiny it looks almost impossible to make. Such cool kits, works of Art.
 
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.

They look TERRIBLE. it looks like a Lego design. I don't even think we saw them move in the film.

If only they were more solid looking, then they'd have something.

Wouldn't you think the TIE Striker has really bad visibility for the pilot? The wings block so much. Doesn't seem very practical for a dog fight.
