Attention: BANDAI will stop selling kits outside Japan

[Galactican]

It's funny to see how Google always tries to correct "Phasma" and wants to turn it into "Plasma"!

 

[edge10]

The 2016 kits after Phasma are: 1/72 Poe Dameron X-Wing & 1/12 C-3PO (TFA red arm version). Bandai also has a Japan exclusive 1/12 Shadow Stormtrooper.

Hopefully they have more up their sleeves than 3 'repaints'!

 

[Hunk a Junk]

I'd bet before the end of the year we'll at least another trooper or two -- maybe flametrooper and FO snowtrooper.

I'm counting on a TIE fighter pilot. THAT would be cool.

Agreed, that is badass,
One thing I think is very strange ,we've been exposed to the first order stormtrooper for so long now , that although ill only be seeing star wars tomorrow , already when the classic stormtrooper large figures are parked next to first order trooper, the original looks really classic even though when the New one came out it seemed like a subtle change at the time
Class design ......like modern car design

I'm the other way on the new design; reminds me of a motorcycle helmet, with the black "W" line from the eyes to the mouth seeming a bit goofy.

I'm itching to see someone switch the heads of the OTC and TFA Stormtroopers and see how that looks like..!

Got this a couple of weeks ago:


This was way cheaper then any FM kit I could find on the interwebs at the time. Tony's parts should fit on this kit just fine.

Also, sent for and received 10 SW OT Bandai kits that arrived last week from Japan.

Sure thing... Might be a while. I am building the DeAgo MF right now and some Revell Robotech stuff I have had on the shelf for 6 months I have been itching to build.

And Bandai gave their SW model kit site a maekeover, too!
Here are photos of Poe's X-Wing and TFA C-3PO:

Can I ask you where you got it? I can find it listed on some dealers' websites, but no mention of it on the official Revell website (not the US, nor the German one)

$219.99 at Woot.com Click "kids/toys". They have all the Revell Star Wars.

At this point, them not selling outside of Japan is kind of a moot point now as everyone knows how to get them at reasonable prices.

Exactly, so everyone should stop posting in this thread.

 

[Robiwon]

O.K. everyone, stop posting in here, use the other threads, OK?

 

[TECKNOVIKING]

But surely one thread still praising Bandai kits is better than a flood.

The thread only happened due to US brands Crying! Same as Bandai S.H.Figuarts being in the same problem with NO OUTSIDE Japan sales cause HASBROKEN did not like it.

As long they are staying on target with Bandai kits here, let them play.
