Just saw that myself. This is shaping up to be one of the best Star Wars Lines of all time, so I sure hope they make them available to fans. I definitely want the R2/BB8 set, and I'll probably want other kits in the future. Some speculation is that Revell asked Bandai to stop, since Revell is making (absolutely terrible-looking) kits for the North American market. But with Ebay and the internet, I think they'd have a hard time preventing them from being sold completely. I read on another forum that Diamond just got a licence to distribute Bandai products in North America, so maybe they'll be available through there?

In any case, I'm glad I got my pre-orders in for Boba and Slave 1! The product pages have disappeared from AmiAmi, but I hope they honour existing orders. Oh, and there's a magazine scan showing the plastic colours for the Fett kits; they are indeed unpainted and very strange. I'll have to try to paint them up, I guess...

That Vader looks great, by the way! The cloth cape is a really good idea.
