  Here's some info on the 1/144ish Y-wing. http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=314090
  It looks great. The Y-wing is my favorite  fighter, it just looks tough. The details are awesome, very similar to the 1/72 counterpart. Release date was today I think.
    The first picture shows the 1/72 Y-wing & X-Wing.  The second shows the 1/144. If you compare the two you'll see that they are indeed in scale with one another.

The 1/144 TIE striker/U-wing is awesome. Those little tanks are really cool, bigger than I thought, they even have a little dude you can pop out the turret cupola.

Can't wait for these to come out and I may actually get a few 1/6 troopers as well.

     Bandai released some info on the 1/72 TIE striker. Looks pretty good. It costs 2,900 JPY, so I'll just say $28. I imagine it is bigger than the other TIE fighters, its shaped like a flying aspirin, but it is a two seater.  Release date January 2017.   http://bandai-hobby.net/sw/jp/products/tie_striker.html

   This isn't  a model kit but I thought it was really cool. Bandai is making this AT-AT multi stand. It's a desk organizer with drawers, coin holder, pencil holder, USB cord holder, and all kinds of stuff. Its also fully articulated. They claim its 1/72, I must have a much bigger estimation of the size of an AT-AT. Hobby_japan has them on pre-order for $89.80+ $33.80 S&H. Release date is Dec. 15 2016.
    Hobby_japan also has the death trooper for sale at $20.80+ $9.80 S&H, he also combines shipping. I've dealt with him numerous times and if you want multiple bandai kits he's a great seller.

Gunjap has images of the Bandai 1/6 Stormtrooper. http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=317103

   Dammit one more awesome thing to have to buy. Looks very cool, i think the cost is around $70 USD. Pretty much the same as the 1/12 version just twice as big. I think it has extra articulation like in the toe. It also has a pre painted mouth grill in ANH fashion. It is specifically the OT version as opposed to rogue one.

For the price $70 or so, it looks cool. But accuracy wise it is way behind the other more expensive options out there.
