KInda disapointed the X-wing kits were not completely pre-coloured.

I would have loved a detailed X-wing kit I could have just snapped together that looked good, that didn't require painting.

Weren't the old Bandai Star Trek kits completely pre-coloured?

i thought they were like the gundam Real Grade kits fully colored, so i was excited and was about to buy a bunch until i opened the lids. good thing i didn't order from hlj and waited till i saw what's inside. i'm still going to wait till they get the star destroyer and check that out...

Yup, I remember when I was growing up, there was this big push to split the state since South Jersey is mostly Pine Barrens and farm land. We didn't want the stigma any more lol!

Wow! Cool pics & impressive store! That x-wing looks good though system-injection, multi-colored parts would've raised the price. They can always do the MG/PG/RG treatment if there's enough demand & they wanted a different price point.

Thanks for posting! :)

Regarding the stormtrooper kit, are all the black bits that should be black actually black?

I mean like the eye lenses, mouth vents etc.

Or do they need painting?

Graham

most everything is black parts except the mouth vents which is a sticker.

storm trooper build process and stickers.

Been waiting for a 1/48th scale X-Wing, although I'm not a fan of electronics--at least it's all pre-assembled. Passed on the 1/72 ones because they were on the smallish side.

All things considered, the price isn't that bad. Pretty sure they could have lowered the price without the "radio box" and whatnot, though.

I got my fill of sound effects and motorized nonsense on that old pro-shop x-wing disaster. I just want the plastic, at half that price, which is what I paid for my pair of Fine Molds kits.

Now, if they could make a 1/32 version that crams all the electronic crap inside the model, I'd probably bite. This would just be one more 1/48th version, complete with a typically huge and unwieldly Bandai stand that my shelf has no space for.
