And I would paint it like in Ralph's painting.
Now, I wait for a video of Doug Chiang saying they did 700 designs for this Awing. :lol

Chogokin is the same line which 1/6 scale R2-D2 and C-3PO is from, translate to "super alloy", meaning lots of metal parts
...a isd and a imperial shuttle (tydirium)....yeeeees!
but, i wonder if all these ships are "chogokin", or just the falkon??

So has there been actual confirmation of anything? Has anyone from Bandai, Bluefin or Lucasfilm actually confirmed new kits? If we don't hear anything by the end of today (Sunday), boy, what a huge missed opportunity.

To be fair, we have known for quite some time that the new A-wing looked more like the McQuarrie and Rebels versions. The royals visited the set in April of last year and a number of photos of the full size prop were published:

It *appears* that Bandai/Bluefin gave us the ole goose egg. :facepalm
I guess the good news is the Shizuoka Hobby Show starts on May 11th. :lol

I think it is some of the latest vapor ware from EFX.
If I wanted something that small, I'd just buy a SW toy version. How about a ROTS Jedi Starfighter with ring? You know, something we all haven't built or can get a kit of?

Back to the big ISD I'm pretty sure it's a good sign they are still bringing it around considering one of their videos did say they were planning to build it as a model, but it was waiting approval.
