The Bandai SD reminds me of that scene with mini-Stonehenge in Spinal Tap

"Well the problem may be, that there is a Star Destroyer model that could be in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.. alright? That tends to understate the hugeness of the object."

Local Melbourne hobby shop, Metro Hobbies has these listed at $145 -standard and $260 - lighted ($AU)
They don’t mention release dates, but it’s nice to see them listed!

Has there ever been any mention of a 1/144 B-Wing? That's the one missing!

No mention yet, but we're certain to get it before too long. Perhaps, depending on how many Episode IX kits Bandai chooses to do, we might see it by next year. That's what happened with the A-wing.
Let's hope that's true. It's kinda weird to see it missing (as well as the TIE Bomber and Interceptor). I want my mini-fleet, and that 4 vs. 4 design (A, B, X, Y / TF, TI, TB, TAx) always provided a nice symmetry.

Bandai loves their mini-kits. So we're more likely to see a mini-B-Wing long before a lot of other kits on many people's want lists.

So just so we're clear; we can see the Star Destroyer [LIGHTING VER.] reprinted, clear parts and all, just without some special papers?

Lol, how the heck did I miss that Bandai has a trooper/speeder bike kit?? I've been waiting for a good replacement for the AMT kit for years. Also odd that I haven't seen any builds of this on my favorite sci-fi sites.
(looks around suspiciously for worm and black holes, rips in time-space continuum, Rod Serling, etc)
Must buy.

I believe this is one of those kits that never officially/legally made it outside Japan yet? Also I think this kit had less replenishment beyond the original release as it almost seems to be out of production (or at least did for a while). Most sites I checked showed it as out of stock or back ordered. On Amazon, it was only ever Japanese sellers that seemed to have it as well.

You can always check their monthly restock schedule: 商品出荷予定 - バンダイ ホビーサイト
Most of the japanese vendors on ebay still have plenty of them in stock: Bandai Star Wars Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike 1/12 scale kit 966933 | eBay
It's one of the more expensive kits, though.
There are 2 nice builds over at Britmodeller:
Speeder Bike and Biker Scout
Speeder Bike & Trooper (Build log of the above one)

That guy in the first one reminds me of INVAR... lol... He made 5 different rolls for the back of the speeder...anyone of them would have worked well...lol... Beautiful build though! Gives me some motivation to get one and add my flair to it...
That’s Andy Moore. His builds and paint jobs are among the best I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing work. Super nice guy as well.

Ooh, looks like they finally got some in. Back when I was looking they were out of stock. I'll have to check to see if they got some other out of stock stuff in
