Bandai came out with the new 1/72 y-wing now available this week. This thing is just packed with detail. Next month August 30 the sandtrooper  will be available as well. I believe it has two different backpack variants. Unfortunately it only comes with an all black pauldron, but you can always paint that.

I haven't tried any of the other 6" lines, but man some of these kits like Bandai, SH Figurarts, Play Arts Kai, etc. look fantastic. If they have an AT-AT Kit I will probably have to bite.

Bandai is indeed coming out with an AT-AT 1/72 scale, same size as the revell kits but much better. Check it out.   http://news.toyark.com/2015/05/19/bandai-at-at-movement-demo-video-160050
In this video they have it rigged up with motors to show the articulation!!
Cool stuff I sure can't wait!

Mum is the word on when exactly the AT-AT is coming out. Sept. You have 1/12 Boba fett and 1/144 Slave I. So it could be at the very earliest Nov.-Dec. Nobody knows! Also they're making the Star destroyer, that will be awesome too. I usually get bandai models on Amazon.

I found more info on the Star destroyer too.
https://thecantina.starwars7news.com/index.php?threads/new-bandai-star-destroyer.2073/
  3rd quarter of 2015 MSRP. $400 AMERICAN!!. Geez almighty! That may be too steep for me, not to mention the amount of space it will consume. But daggon I want it.  I would imagine you would need a custom stand, or meybe one comes with it. Its not like you can just pick it up and look at it, its huge. 3rd Quarter 2015? That would be July-Sept, unless it's fiscal Quarter. It was probably pushed back, I would have seen it if it was available or pre-order. Its most likely limited, its not like little Billy down the street is getting one for Christmas.

  Check out this 6" Boba Fett. http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=269536 . I can only assume he has a TESB and ROTJ variations. We'll see closer to September after the Sandy releases. Also the same month the 1/144 Slave I will be released. That thing is way cool!!
  I know I've been on a Bandai kick lately but it's the only beacon of hope during these dark times.

I gotta say, these kits do look like great quality.
I am excited about the new kits coming out for force awakens but this kind of detail could fuel any builders passion.

  Yeah I saw some of those new Revell kits. The Falcon has the correct size sidewall, which is an improvement over the old. I'd like to see the details on it. From what  I hear its like 120 piece, sounds like a lot, but its 1/48 that's huge for a falcon. I'll bite on it if Bandai doesn't make one. Other than the Falcon they seem like re-packs of the old. The ep.7 kits are under wraps but that new speeder is cool I'd get that. Like I say I won't buy ep.7 stuff until I see the movie.

These Bandai Kits are amazing.

Bandai will be having their own Force Friday at :01 9-4-15. Evidently they'll be making TFA models on gunjap.com I found these pics. TFA X-wing and TFA Millennium Falcon. I figured they would end up making the TFA Falcon I can only hope it comes with the parabolic radar dish as well, it looks to be 1/144.

   The details are in on the 6" Boba Fett and Slave I. The fett will be ESB version only, little bummed since Hasbro already made the ESB Fett I was hoping for the ROTJ option. The Slave I is awesome though definitely getting that.
