Was our plan too; and for Boeing Christmas - New Years week off to be over and kids back in school.
Offered free tickets to a private screening (tickets not available to public) suddenly changed that.
Though will go back with friends in January as previously planned.

I'm sure some of you could be inspired by this kit:



In February, 2016, Kabuki Models will release a 75mm resin female Star Wars Stormtrooper named, "Star Vixen."

That'll be never if Disney has anything to say about it. They have the hype train running at full speed and are laying more track as we speak.

Am I missing something? Is there a new Star Wars movie? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Disney has really dropped the ball on merchandising.

B-17 goes to Star Wars

Kinda looks like a Merkava tank turret, and a B-17 cockpit where the gun mantlet would be.
