... given that the merchandise for TLJ didn't exactly fly off the shelves...
Those Dymszo Modelermagic images need colour correcting
It's not really fair considering the only true new mold that was released was the AT-M6 in the Vehicle Model line, the majority being extremely minor parts variants like the Boosted X-Wing, the Polearm Phasma, and the updated 1/144 Falcon, or just straight-up reissues like the BB-8 and the C-3PO/R2-D2 combo, basically stuff that people likely already have by now.
All true, but I was thinking more broadly to include all the toy lines and other products. There is a lot of stuff still on shelves and in discount bins.
And by 47%! That is HUUUUUGE!Toy merchandising for Star Wars was indeed down

The general consensus among most modelers is that Fine Molds' scales were either slightly or wildly inaccurate from kit to kit, and cannot be trusted....The Tie Bomber is closer in size to the Bandai Tie fighters. These are the Fine Molds ones which are smaller, so in turn, it makes the Bomber look even bigger
Oddly enough, the Fine Molds X-Wing and Y-wing are bigger than the Bandai ones...
One thing I find odd in those pics is the decals are all backwards, or flipped horizontally.
I remember some old ILM photos were flipped, but I am not sure that is the case here, or did they really put the decals on backwards (maybe to make them look more like and alien language or hide what they were?)
I wonder if that means the pics need to be flipped as well. Bu ton the other hand, not all of them are
for example, this is oriented normally

I assume it's because theother Disney franchise (Marvel) is more popular to the kids or something, at least that's my theory.
Word! I do love me some U-Wing though. I even like the prequel ships as unpopular as they are. Love the naboo straighter, Jedi straighter in ROTS, and General Grievous' ship. But episode 7 and 8 have zero to offer.Or... maybe it's because they've done two movies with zero cool ships, vehicles, etc?

Now that's just personal taste talking, isn't it? I for one like the new stuff in TLJ.
