That is the Ani star destroyer. I think they are just teasing with that. I hope they do a star destroyer though. Nobody has done a good small scale one.

Here's an example of multiple colors on the same sprue: http://dalong.net/review/mg/m120m/m120m_i.htm from Bandai.

According to the HLJ guy, that is not the Anigrand Destroyer. It is a Bandai created concept model. (not to say it couldn't have been grown from the same source files in a different size). At this time it is only for display purposes and is not in production. I believe the comment was made that if they actually went into production with something like that it would cost at least double what the big 1/350 Yamato kit costs (at least over the $600 dollar mark).
I think it's the over engineering of parts that probably bugs some people. For example those red stripes on the sides are separate parts from the fuselage!
The motorized AT-AT is also supposedly a concept model at this point that is not in production. It's only for display purposes and getting people in the door. If it sees production, I'd wonder if they will even go the motorized route.
- November: 1:72 X-Wing and X1, 1:12Darth Vader

It definitely is not cheap, but consider the size...over 3 feet. If you were to scratch build one the same size, there would be several kitbash kits that will be needed. Even if you were to make moulds of most of the pieces necessary, you could easily go to $1000.00 worth of donor kits and most likely more. Then there is all of the other costs of materials,
Mind you, there is nothing more satisfying than creating something from scratch that hundreds of hours went into.

I have a hard time accepting that. If that was the case, then why go to the trouble of creating the packaging. Why go through the effort to develop a prototype of the model and the necessary packaging.

Well, let's see if I can remember enough Japanese to give you guys a translation of the schedule page:
11/2014: 1/72 X-Wing Starfighter, (2,592 Yen), TIE Advanced (2,592 yen), 1/12 Vader, (2,592 Yen)
12/2014: 1/12 Stormtrooper (2,592 Yen)
2/2015: 1/48 AT-ST, 1/72 TIE Fighter (2,592 Yen)
3/2015: 1/12 R2-D2 & R5-D4 (2,592 Yen)
2015: 1/48 X-Wing Starfighter "Moving Edition"(I don't know what they mean by that), 1/48 Snowspeeder, 1/144 Slave I, 1/72 Y-Wing Starfighter, 1/12 C-3PO, 1/12 Sandtrooper, 1/12 Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike.
I think that's pretty accurate. The names are just transliterated, and the dates and prices are easy to translate, but I can't read anything else. Sounds like a pretty nice lineup, but it seems Slave I is the only ship bigger than a fighter they have planned so far. I'm hoping to see a falcon added eventually, preferably a big one.

Looks like an unpainted Falcon on the right side of this pic. Any news on that?
That Falcon holds the pass card for mass transit. Instead of holding your card over the scanner you can swoop your Falcon over the scanner.
The electronic version of the X-Wing is 1/48. The first one coming out is the 1/72 version (no electronics).
So, the 1/72 X-Wing comes with two different noses, two different lengths of exhaust nozzles, up or down "toilet seat", and a choice of canopy with glass or without. Sounds to me like Bandai kinda knows their subject matter....
At first, didn't have much interest in the figures, but man, that Stormtrooper looks great! Bandai should include head sculpts of Luke and Han. I wonder who will be first to light up Vader's boxes and saber?!?!
