BiggTim Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I saw these Hobby Lobby this weekend. Their 40% coupon could really make these a heckuva good deal!! Daniel460, scvrobeson, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The research level of the on-screen actual movie props to the models themselves has to be seen to be believed, even in 72nd. Oh yes, big-time fan here, The Empire Strikes Back being one of my favorites. BiggTim and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I paid around $20 something for the Imperial Ties, so 40% off a figure close to that is a hell of a deal BiggTim and Daniel460 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You must have something keyed to this topic, because every time I open it I hear John Williams' Imperial march music in the background... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If you were to not paint anything but just build it OOB it takes 90 min from start to finish... ask me how I know... ... and yes, best engineering & fit I've EVER seen !

Me too Ray.......I love these little kits and I seem to hear the theme (including that easily recognizable growl if the Tie motors) in my head when working in them too 4 hours ago, spacewolf said: If you were to not paint anything but just build it OOB it takes 90 min from start to finish... ask me how I know... ... and yes, best engineering & fit I've EVER seen ! You are 100% correct Vaughn!! The fit, finish and buildability of these Bandai SW kits is unbelievable......dare I say maybe even BETTER than Tamiya. And their technique of getting all different colors (including clear parts!) all on the same sprue is amazing. With the colors provided you could in fact easily put these together in a modeling heartbeat..... But of course most all of us have some degree of AMS, so we cant have that now can we!!! Its SUPER slick out today with a lot of snow, so I'm staying in today and will have some progress to show on these for sure spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I built one of the First Order TIEs OOB and they are indeed quick and well-fitting. My decals weren't the best and resisted my setting solution, so I will use an alternate means of marking my other kits. I have an X-Wing, Y-Wing, and OT TIE that all have light kits plus the Falcon which came with its own lights still to do. Vader's ship as well but no lights for that one yet. I want to pick up a B-Wing when those come down in price. Not a fan of the A, though. Hard to believe this is the same company that made all that 1/48 armor I built in the 70's.

Out2gtcha Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Indeed! I still have Darths Adcanced-1 Tie to pick up to complete my Tie fighter collection. I still have my favorite Rebel Alliance ships to pick up yet too, Y-wing, B-wing and of course a deluxe PG Bandai Falcon. Love the Falcon and Y-wing with all their exposed gobbldy gook and wiring everywhere LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 They are great kits! I have about 8 of the figures built already, plus half a dozen kits in the stash. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super cool as they have a Han Stormtrooper too IIRC. I really love those figures, and the new General Grievous figure is at the top of my figgie want list!

Dennis7423 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Strangely, they haven't done the Tie Bomber yet. Can't be too far off I think. Those Bandai kits really are spectacular kits. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CATCplSlade Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I know the Tantive IV would be a bit big in 1/72 but I do hope they can do Slave 1 to match the others. Didn't Fine Molds do it in '72? Out2gtcha and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
