MR Y-Wing to go on sale next week. Who's getting one?
From the MR Blog:
http://masterreplicas.com/customer/b...cookie_check=1
You can see a pic of the MR Y-Wing that is supposed to go up for order next week. So, who is getting one? I think I'd like to get one to go with my AT-AT.
My questions are:
1. Price. If it's $500 or less, than this purchase is a no brainer. I'll have to think about it if it's closer to $1k.
2. Is it exclusive to the MR site? If not, then I'll wait a while for Ebay like WookTroop did with the AT-AT.
3. Edition Size? I wonder if it will be a low run around 500 or so?
We'll see next week.

elwood, I'm not sure but I think Wook got his AT-AT from FAO Schwartz. They had a huge deal on them.

You're right Zurb, but the same principle applies. The Snowspeeder is much cheaper now also.
Once I get the answers to my questions above, I'll decide whether to order it now or wait. I don't want to pay $400 more than those who wait again.

im not a big fan of the Y-Wing
what role did it play in rotj exactly, a fly by ship?
and yeah i dont think id ever pay MSRP for any MR products its just silly unless you know you are getting a low number or an AP it is to much of a gamble

Cool. I'm gonna have to stick with just the AT-AT SE for now. No space and no money for any others. Not complaining though, the AT-AT is an awesome iconic piece.

Thanks Mike. 
Depending on the ES/price, then I may hold off for a while.
This piece is beautiful, though. It looks like they did away with some of the "rust" from the prototype.

That's correct. I wonder if they will offer it separately? I remember Steve D. saying that we would be "pleasantly suprised" about the display options that MR offered for the Y-Wing. I wonder what he meant by that?
