I know this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone know what ever happened to the line of Star Wars vehicles that Dragon announced a while back? I remember seeing them advertised in magazines, but can't find them on the Dragon website.

I guess they're still on their way

Here's what they've posted on Facebook on October 12, 2016 :

"Dear all, please note it is up to LucasFlims / Disney for us to release relevant Star Wars information. Of course if we had it our way, the products would be out ages ago! Thank you for your patience!"

From an armor standpoint,, we might see a whole line of those AT-AT variants, including a Berge-AT, and a command version.

The delay is due to them working out markings for an AT-AT of Panzer Lehr, 2 company, Russian front, 13:47hrs, 6th Feb 1946 with Zimmerit and an extra command aerial.

Don't forget the "Unknown unit, Eastern Front", (comes with pointing Imperial Storm Trooper commander)!

Well, since they have a rather poor history in Berge panzers, read Berge Panther, I don't think we're gonna see any AT-AT version of this 😃😃😃

That sounds like they're pretty much blaming Lucas/Disney for any potential delay?

Sweet! I'll hold out for the Jagd-AT-AT with the dual 88's!

What scale are these btw?

Its a licensing issue. Revell/Revell of Germany has the rights in the US and EU. Banadi has it in Asia for Star Wars. When the Force Awakens was released in 2015, it was nearly impossible to get Banadi kits (with HLJ even stopping shipping them to the US) in North America outside of eBay or directly from Japanese sellers on Amazon.

This has changed as of late...Rouge One figures from Banadi are "easy" to get..even from HLJ and Zevada released a big Star Destroyer recently that was sold by online shops in the US from what I understand.

I wonder if Disney is loosing the reins a bit to make more $$$ and Dragon is waiting for their chance.
