Looks awesome. I like the both Tie-Fighter much more than their X-Wing. And it seems they will offer a Kermit as Reporter too in the nearer future

Over at muppet central they have photos of Rizzo (excellent by the way), and a better shot of the piggy head. The Kermit is just for the display, no word either way if they plan on releasing him with that costume.

The standard looks nice, but I don't know... there's something so much more organic to me about an underground garage kit buildup like the one I enjoyed doing from the Niessen kit with real Koolshade:

I know exactly what you mean, I just hope it will be cheaper than the
X-wing, I have a feeling they will be in the same price range.

I can't remember who it was, but one of the guys from EFX posted that the point of these was to offer them at a lower price. They won't need the weathering effort put into the x-wing.

This will probably get my pounds and pence as well
Could EFX try to get something worked out on shipping this time for international buyers please.
US buyers of the X Wing got free shipping.
International buyers were told there would be shipping options but it never happened. At the time of signing up FEDEX was the only option and we were told it was just for the signing up and options would be given later.
Next thing I knew a box was at my door shipped by Fedex Priority International costing about $250 dollars + £170 import tax. Which meant UK buyers paid about $500 more than US buyers for the same item. It is one of the only things that may sway me off getting the TIE. Possibly they could use a retailer like The Prop Store of London (as they have done Alien pulse rifles, Korben Dalls blasters etc for other companies).
Hopefully some international shipping options this time even a small saving would help.

Exactly what I want, that's the main reason I got a MR Y-wing reapinted instead of a kit. The Tie needs to look super crisp and clean, it's such a beautiful design, my favorite ship along with the Y-wing and Slave I

Kewl! I wasn't aware they had been able to scan the one on tour yet. Looks like they did! It will be interesting to see how they handle the koolshade areas.

On the proto it looks like the Koolshade is molded in...
Yup, my sentiments Jason, i nice clean, wonk free TIE :lol Id go with the assumption it is a molded Koolshade pattern, much like Steves std kit, at the right price, i can live with that, and as Chris said, im hoping we guys over the pond dont get reamed with shipping costs etc etc, well done eFX for doing this, now, they gotta do the X1 :eek
