I see two sellers for about $116 and one seller for $170 on ebay this evening. Presumably, all too high.

Sometimes I think the prices on ebay seem a little funny. Low prices and high shipping, or high price, and low shipping. I guess the really interesting price would have to be the sum of the kit price + shipping.

Another big model on the way to me at the moment! (Just brought a Airfix Victor and also the Squadron Hanuebu II as well) Will have to drill hundreds of tiny holes in the Star Destroyer and light the hell out of it! 🙂 got it for $91.08 USD plus around $25 postage. It's a BIG BOX.

Just arrived! Very big box! All instructions only in Russian no English (no big deal) it's only a wedge pretty simple to build and nicely detailed. The box states, "WARNING Any sales of this kit outside former USSR are illegal" so don't expect it to turn up in any shops in Europe or the USA. The Disney License must only be for Russia? BUT my guess is that this will get re-boxed by Revell? Like some of the other Zvezda kits eg Boeing 787 and the New tool Mig-29 kit. Just like the Finemoulds Millennium Falcon did 🙂

More likely they didn't pay a licence to manufacture. Disney probably have no way of suing in that part of the world

I believe they have got a licence from Disney. They also did the movie "Planes" models. So i don't think they would spend all this money tooling it only for Russia!

Was just a thought. If I lived in Russia I would be more worried about buying an actual tank to survive the other drivers than buying kits

I've seen this before with textbooks. There are certain editions made specifically for certain markets where they're sold for less (usually a lot less). That label is there to discourage resellers from buying up all the stock and flipping it for profit in another country. I'm sure official Star Destroyers will come to North America soon enough.

Agree, Most likely with a Revell logo on the box i think! I was just worried about a tall heavy breathing "mouse" dressed in black turning up at my doorstep! Karrrrrrrrrr....Heeeeeeee......Karrrrrrrrr......Heeeeeee..... looking for the Star Destroyer 🙂
