Its hard to say if the falcon is real or not, you know how they like to trick you at these toy shows, ie moving AT-AT and 4ft Star Destroyer. I'm still waiting for the Dragon model kits, waiting not holding my breath. If its real what would the price be?  The 1/144 TFA Falcon is $55, I'm sure it would be cheaper than the Revell 1/72 ANH Falcon at $275. The 1/144 Y-wing  005, will release after the TFA TIE fighters 004. I'm digging those battle droids too. Don't know when they'll come out, clown troopers will be released June 30.

  Thanks Starchaser. As long as Bandai keeps making great Star wars kits I'll keep you all informed.

  Official images of the 1/12 Clone Trooper. However the details are not out on Bandai's website yet. I'm no Clone Trooper expert, but it looks like you can build two variations, phase 1 or 2. With 2 weapons variants. Looks cool. I'll get a couple. In my biased opinion it looks better than the Hasbro, and it costs much less than SH.FIGUARTS Clone trooper. of course these are promotional images, but based on the Stormtrooper kits Ive bought it looks true to form. Release date is June 30th.

I preordered the clone trooper kit. Hobby_Japan also has the Interceptor for presale arriving July 31. I saw reports of the Battle droid with stap releasing on Aug 30 at $42.usd. Same as scout trooper with speeder. Was hoping to be able to buy droids separately, ohh well. Which brings us to September. I wonder if they'll have a Rogue One force Friday like they did TFA.

Bandai needs to do an AT-AT to go along with their awesome AT-ST. JDeck do you know if they are?

  I don't know. I imagine they will make some rogue one kits. The TIE fighter, rebel starfighter that new droid the new shadow trooper, those are just guesses. They're quiet about new releases, outside of hobby shows. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a 1/144 AT-AT, I doubt if they would make anything bigger.  if they do make one you'd be the first ones to know, as I try to keep up with new releases.

 Official images of the bandai TIE Interceptor. It has the ROTJ blue tint unlike the previous ANH kits.  I'm still hoping for a TIE bomber, that would complete the OT TIEs.

  Indeed!
   Here's images from bandai's site. I would like to see the sprue trees, to see how the wings are constructed. In the TIE fighter, the wings had to be assembled. In the x-1 Advanced (Vader's TIE) the wings were one piece. The TIE wings are easy to re-paint, but the x-1 had to be masked extensively. This may determine how many of these Interceptors I'll buy. They are on preorder through Hobby_Japan on eBay, they'll be released in a couple weeks.
   Looks like September will bring Poe's Black Squadron X-wing in 1/72 scale. Meh.
