Star Wars Star Destroyer

Let's hope that they'll give us a Tie Bomber in 1:72...

Soeren .
I think it will be very successful, if the price is good😉

I'd like to see a Lambda shuttle in eh 1:144 scale or 1:72 scale.

A B-Wing in 1:72 would be sooooo nice.

Gavin Snowdon
B wing coming. Bandai. Out soon

See one on ebay for $160.00 (Canadian dollars)

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

Treehugger
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.

Glenn .
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

Glenn .
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.

Glenn .
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 🙂

I just got an email confirmation today this Saturday about the item having been shipped. Two days after I placed an order.

it may be entirely legit. i just hope you do not have surprises with customers. i recently order a model from luckymodel.com, nice price (30+ EUR) but because the value was above the threshold of 22EUR, i had to pay the VAT, plus the administration fee.... total 18EUR extra. so the price was basically increased 50%, although was of no fault of the shop.....

Treehugger
Yes, for me for buying online, there is a magical price limit I try to stick to, howeve I have decided to overlooked that limit for this one particular kit. 🙂 So I expect an additional fee of 25% taxes and something equivalent to $17 in customs fee, basically making the kit more expensive.

the only difference between adults and children, is the price of the toys 😄

Hm, someone showed a photo in a forum, showing whole hull and with a ruler on the side of it. When I use an image editing tool to adjust the depicted ruler in that photo, the width appear to be about 34,5cm wide.

Treehugger
Something more close to 'light aircraft gray' (cooler?), but not 'light gull gray' (warmer?).

Bart Goesaert
looks good... will take it's place in the closet at approx. 60cm...

They do have general Disney license, so, probably, Star Wars are covered by that 🙂
Maybe there are regional restrictions though, I'm not sure.
By now they produce pure Disney "Cars" and "Planes" snap-fits, Marvel "Avengers" snap-fits, a magnificent 1/72 Pirates of Caribbean "Black Pearl" (wich is sold abroad Russia as a generic "pirate ship" Black Swan, I believe) - and all of that are licensed products.
