Thanks, guys! Glad you're still here, Bish! I mean, chances are you were, but wanted to make sure. :-)
Codeman, if you're any kind of Star Wars fan, Bandai's kits are a must-have. Outstanding engineering and fit (snap-together, but done right, ie, typically doesn't require glue), and the detail is amazing. The only knock against them is that Bandai typically deals with smaller scales (1/72 and under), but that's bc of the Japanese market.
Best kits I've built. Get 'em!
