Barry was pretty open about this and other offerings in the works...hope they werent supposed to be secrets as nothing was said to that effect. Barrys a great guy...had him over to the old house last year prior to World Con. I really like Bryan and Amy too..all very nice folks. They def have some very cool things in the works and my fingers are crossed for them.
Wow, I didn't know they were gonna break that out just yet. A couple secrets in the pipeline still, though

Oh h*ll. There goes my next tax refund. 
Damn straight... Are they going to try to do a studio scale ANH Sd (staying away from the "names" too much politcal this and that to get into :eek) but the SD from ANH could be done in studio scale at 3 feet... to do the ESB 8 footer at 3 feet is greast too but less then 1/2 studio scale... All still good. I guess I better build and sell my RC SD on ebay before that gets announced

I just saw it on exhibit in Philly a few months ago... I don't know that I'd say it was a lot bigger then 3 feet. Maybe a little bigger but very much in the same range...
I'm not trying to start a war here - just recalling my direct observations Of course it makes me wonder about my memory when the laudable Charles Adams corrects me... I still want to grab your book BTW - I just always seem to find a more pressing use for my $30...
I'd bet it will be a scaled 8 footer as well...

Couldn't have put it better myself, ah well, who needs a house when you've got a 3ft ISD! Who I ask you? :lol

Reminds me of another thread I just read. This is why the RPF is the perfect place to get bankruptcy information.:thumbsup
Why not cut costs and offer all the lovely large replicas and studio scales as kits?

Silly, the cost is in the fabrication of the parts themselves. The labor to assemble and paint cost them nothing compared to the parts. Why would they give away all profits???

I'm pretty sure they would make more profits by selling more kits at a realistic price that everyone would be able to afford & not just cater to the rich.
Well considering all that is available now... maybe its an inevitability. We're bound to see large kits eventually. Just not yet I guess.
Jedi Dade, how DARE you call it ANH? It's STAR WARS, man, STAR WARS!!
<joking!!>
Seriously - hasn't there been recent discussion that the first ship was more like 4 foot than 3? That would be challenging to do, if true. <edit - d'oh - missed Charles's comment and your response.> Well, interesting to watch this develop, anyway.
Incredipaul, is Randy Cooper's 38" kit not "large" in your reckoning? ;p
Cheers,
Martyn

Pretty sure not (as was posted above).
Also pretty sure that EFX spent a lot of money for the REPLICA license not the MODEL KIT license that is owned by someone else.
Sorry that we cant all afford expensive stuff whether it be ferraris or star detstroyers but thats life.
If you want a model kit then write to the folks who have the model kit license. EFX isnt AMT/ERTL/RC2 whoever has that license now so the statements about what they could have no reasonable or logical bearing on them putting out a 3" foot assembled and lit REPLICA as opposed to a MODEL KIT.
