I'm excited for their Master Series X-Wings. Can't bear to spend $150 on eBay for the 1/48 FM kit.

Why wait? I have both 1/48 X-Wing from FineMolds and Bandai. And Bandai superb details compared to FineMolds are well worth the money.
thanks for sharing , even October seems too far away.Just to update this thread,....The Revell Star Wars Master Series kits were on display at Wondefest 2015:

....the talk is that packaging is temporary,.....thats why the parts count doesn't match up,....the release date is September......(likely Force Friday like the Hasbro release date....for Episode 7 merchandise).......the price?......
.....the price is......this has been mentioned at Wonderfest by the rep.......$299!!!!
.....yep....$299
this can't be right
with the size of the Revell company compared to the size of FineMolds you'd think they would be able to manufacture these kits at a fraction of that price
....unless FM are still popping them & handing them over to Revell to package up
.....now I'm gonna say something that might **** people off,....& I've gone on about the 5 footer v 32' Falcons over & over, BUT....
Revell trying to sell a re-issued kit of a stunt version of the filming model,.....which doesn't even appear without motion blur in the Star Wars films (apart from two short scenes).....at a time when theres a brand new film which features a CG enhanced version of the real 5 footer,.....a much beefier and definitely different looking ship than the 32' model that has pushed its way into our minds,....with the ease of replicating its parts for a studio scale replica,.....we've had the Master Replicas Falcon,.....then the FineMolds based on that,.....& now the DeAgostini,...
With this new film, and the further episodes,...and the likely Han/Boba Anthology film,...we are going to see a lot more of the Falcon,.....the fuller Falcon.....& because she's digital and can do her own stunts now, we are never gonna see the skinny 32' stunt model again on film
Hopefully Bandai will have some good news about a 72 Falcon coming out soon for Ep 7,...& hopefully it has an optional circular dish
I really think that Revell has been sold a donkey

They look so bad to me. It's one of the reasons that I stopped working on mine. Someday when I get brave I'll fix them
Was a price mentioned at Wonderfest for the (Fine Molds/Revell)1/48 Tie Fighter?

The 1/72 FM Falcon might be the best kit we have so far but that isn't saying much.
I don't care if the kit has 9000 individual parts and every greeblie looks perfect.
Visibly wrong dimensions = FAIL.
