Also, I have to say Youtube's search function is pretty annoying. I can't get my video to appear at all on a search. Meanwhile, all the countless scam movies with misleading titles, consisting of the Bandai promo video with the audio replaced, all pointing to some resale site, show up just fine!

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
A practical question: On another forum I frequent - sideshow freaks (sixth scale collectables) - there's an entire sub dedicated to displays/shelving. In the case of a model this large and expensive it probably warrants a discussion about how people plan to keep their models once finished. It's not fitting into an ikea detolf.

There's a whole range of sizes here for an acrylic case that might work:

Thanks! I appreciate it. But please don't hold your breath - I'm afraid I don't have a third video planned any time soon. Got a bunch of other stuff to finish first...

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
It seems that those in the United States have an early opportunity coming up next week to purchase this kit.

A built sample, featured in the November issue of Model Graphix.

According to the article, fibers were added to the cockpit.
Also, there is going to be a whole volume dedicated to this kit coming out in January, with reference photos of the original filming miniature.
It does. Watch part II of nkg's video.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I have no doubt Bandai could deliver realistic poses, but are likely prohibited because Hasbro would deem them "action figures" and a violation of their exclusive license. Lucasfilm/Disney licensing should get their lawyers to carve out an exemption for figures beneath a certain scale or figures that require assembly. Unfortunately, the lawyers writing the rules aren't modelers and have little knowledge or interest in the subtleties of how a toy is different from a model. Of course, it doesn't help that companies like Revell are working hard to blur the distinction between the two.

I don't think it's just an action figure licensing issue: Bandai's 1/100 and 1/60 mobile suit pilots have been in the same ramrod poses for years.
