I know I am not the one that should be stating this,... but... for a SS 3 foot SD?.... I imagine MOST everybody would make the room. It is notably the vehicle that opened the eyes of the world to Star Wars. The first shot of it slowly creeping over the screen is probably one of the most, (if not the most), famous opening scenes in movie history. In my humble opinion.. the SD has been overlooked for too long in the collector world. Even in the modeling world we see far to few completed. I know my opinion doesn't count with MR's decision, but I believe if you asked both the collectible markets and those in the modelers world if they wanted a beautiful collectible of the 3 foot SD,.. you would recieve an amazing answer. :eek
I am sorry if I am coming off strong, but this specific piece means much more to many (obviously including myself) than I think I can personaly convey. Heck,.. I just saw a chip commercial with Michael Duncan Clark imitating that above stated scene with the CHIP. :love
Our options for that vessel have been limited to either a very bad MPC kit that requires extreme makeovers to make decent,.. or a Hasbro toy that basically looks to be from the same molds (though I never confirmed that).
I don't know what else to say about that with the exception that NOT having an SD done WOULD be a travesty to all that have ever had larger dreams of adventure do to Star Wars. That film changed the movie industry in almost every way and it was started with that ship crawling overhead on the screen in front of us. I still remember having to close my mouth after it went over.
A little heavy I agree,.. but that is my humble opinion. :$
Please don't get me wrong Barry. I soooooo dig that you come on these boards to give us info and updates. You are truly AWESOME and I appreciate you more than you know. :thumbsup :thumbsup
On that note,... I am requesting that MR consider doing the 3 foot Studio Scale ANH Star Destroyer,... not only for myself,.. but for the ENTIRE WORLD of collectors, modelers, Sci Fi fans and movie enthusiasts alike.
