Planning rather than launching, and has long way to go before you'll see it

That will be interesting to see. And i am sure a beauty of a model News Says next film is delayed until December 2017 due to possible a scrpt re-write so wonder if the x-wing will launch to coinside with the film launch. If so it would make it very popular and i am sure will be a magnificent model. Happy Modelling

So many X Wings. I'd love to see a quality B Wing. I'd jump on that so fast.

If it's the T-70 and large enough I will jump on the X-Wing as well. Where did you fill out this survey and is it open to anyone one to fill out?

It is either the 65 from the originals or the 70 from the force awakens. It was an email I got sent from deagostini Darren

Kinda disappointed with Force Awakens with the variety of ships. Even ANH had Y-Wings. Didn't see any A-Wings, B-Wings or Y-Wings. I hope to see updated versions of those in 8. So I'm guessing these will be 1/24th scale? I'd prefer 1/43 to fit in with my Falcon but I know that won't happen.

Some of the options on scale was 1:24 at 52cm 1:18 at 69cm 1:12 at 104cm Another option Keep it to the same scale as the falcon at 29cm but low level of detail Or massive with high detail Other questions: Top 5 favourite ships like to be available (mine was the slave 1) Favourite star wars film Darren

Or massive with high detail
Other questions:

Favourite star wars film
1:12 scale would be epic, and not just because of the shear size. You would be able to display it in scale with all the 1:12 Bandai figure kits they make. Also since I don't have the survey but still feel like answering this here is my Top Five I want made. Falcon is number 1 but they made that. 1: B-Wing 2: Tie Interceptor 3: Ghost 4: Y-Wing 5: Sand Crawler

I have studio scale resin B wing, y wing and sandcrawlers-just not enough hours in the day to build them all

Does anyone watch Star Wars Rebels? I would buy two B-Wing subs, 1 regular B-Wing and the prototype B-Wing for Rebels. I loved that episode.
My reasoning for keeping them at 1:43 scale. Room, Millennium Falcon already takes up a lot of space. Dioramas, keeping in scale gives the possibilities of massive dioramas with the Falcon (I know this is a counter point for space but...) My feeling is that the Falcon is the center piece and the other ships are amazing accents to that piece. There's not a lot of Star Wars ships out there at 1:43.
Just my two cents even though it's already decided and I'm petty sure it's 1/24.

I just don't care for resin kits enough to buy them. Large scale plastic version I would be all over. And I watch Rebels, that's why I listed the Ghost. I think that ship would be an awesome build.

You are right they are a pain to build compared to plastic kits.

I would love either a studio scale X-Wing or a studio scale Y-Wing. I almost thing I'd like the Y-Wing ever more though.

I would prefer a B-wing or a Y-wing. Although if it turns out to be an X-wing I won't complain. Won't be on my priority list though. Really want my Mustang and a wooden ship first. Can't wait to see what DeAgo has in store for us later this year. Ron Best Regards,

I didn't seem to be one of the chosen few to get the survey, but here are mine. A nice big Y-Wing would be cool. All those lovely greeblies... The Ghost. She's a wonderful ship that's the lovechild of the Falcon and my other favorite spaceship- Serenity. I would pause my Falcon sub to get a large and detailed Serenity. I loves her so much. It of course couldn't be to scale with the Falcon, as it would be like 6 feet long, but I'd be fine with a kit version of the QMX Big Damn Replica. http://qmxonline.com/pro...ty-the-big-damn-replica
I would even settle for a kit of the smaller Cut-Away. http://qmxonline.com/pro...50-scale-cutaway-replica

X wing (though I do have a 1:35 kotobukya one with all the internals) followed by a tie fighter to the same scale. After that, probably a star destroyer or even the Executor but I dunno what sort of scale would do it justice.
Mind you, does it HAVE to be a ship? I'd deffo go for a nice big ATAT!
