Will be greta to have you on board PB, i ahve you added to the roster on the build thread. Nice job on the F-4. I am looking forward to the SD as well.

Its just the impression i have got from some of their kits, the figures es[pecially with the articulated joints. I was really loking forward to a decent Speedr bike, but was really put off. That Y-Wing does look nice, have you done the FM one. If so, how would you compare them.

Thanks, Bish! I'd also love to light up the SD, but have never done that sort of thing before so....hm.

Anyway, I have two of the FM Ys, but haven't compared them to the Bandai kit. I'm sure somewhere on the Internet someone has, though.

No, i haven't used lights on a model before. But that might be worth the effort.

Ye, there may well be. I already hav ethe FM kit so was just woundering.

Hey PB thanks and excellent work on the F-4 and the Y-Wing.

I bought the Bandai A and X-Wing on account of the reviews, hope I won't be disappointed when I get them. Course I think the only other A-Wing out there is the original kit released at the time of RotJ.

Hey thanks PB and beautiful work on the F-4 and A-Wing!

Lol, thanks, Gamera! Hotel wifi stinks. 

If Bandai's X and A-wings are anything close in quality to their Y, you shouldn't be disappointed.

Got home last night and I think I made a big mistake. I popped in 'Star Wars' and watched it and now I'm rearing to go! I'm thinking to watch 'TESB' tonight and 'RotJ' later this week- I should wait till I get other stuff done but I'm chomping at the bit now. 

The Bandai A and X-Wing came in while I was gone. And wow these look nice in the box. Don't think I've ever seen so many parts with a 1/72nd kit. There are multiple colours on each sprue so you really don't need to paint the kit. Of course I'm painting mine but I'm hoping to take advantage of it for a little less masking. Plus either landing gear or a in-flight stand.

Lol, awesome! I got Rogue One tickets last night so I'm amped, too. :-)

Congrats on getting the A and X-Wings. I've never been a huge fan of the A-Wing, but sounds like a nice kit.

Oh very cool, I'm planning to see 'Rogue One' in the second or third week. Pre-order tickets are awesome though, congrats! 

BTW: I was a bit surprised in my special edition 2006 DVDs to find the original Han/Greelo encounter. Han not only shot first but Greelo didn't even get a shot off.

Arrived today from Russia (with love?) just in time for the GB (?).

It's a beauty!

Hope everyone is doing well.
