The X-wing seemed like the next obvious ship--mainly because it figured prominently in the poll they did or some other hint out there. And all along I thought--if studio scale--could sort of be dead on arrival with all the SS kits out there--though a DeAgo one would have lights and movement built in. (Or I feared an arsenal of C&D letters the day before the announcement of the new kit.) But to go to 1/18. For me, there's even less chance I'd buy it. I could imagine meetings where someone like Steve (is that who it is working with them) says you gotta do the Slave-1, for instance, and the suits say, nope, it's gotta be iconic. Gotta have mass appeal.
For me, this is an easy decision to pass, and I haven't even seen the price. (Guessing it will be $1000 to $1500--not to say I can't find it, I just haven't looked because I don't care.)
