So... The Force Awakens... What a film! I thought the new characters were great and the old ones were amazing too! However, this is not a film review, there was one thought that flashed into my mind when I saw Kylo Ren's shuttle: ''Man that would look impressive in an x-wing battle. So I was just wondering if perhaps there could be a model of it coming out soon. I mean, they did the lambda so why not Ren's assault shuttle? What do you guys think?

It's an epic ship design, very menacing and imposing. I'd definitely buy one, if i were released and there were more TFA to use it with (I don't intend to mix periods, so I'm holding off on new trilogy stuff until we have more than X-wings and TIEs)

It's one of the few new ship designs we've seen in the movies, and it gets a fair bit of screen time. Toy space ships are the bread and butter of Star Wars merch, so we're definitely going to get it in the game eventually.

(We also saw that B-Wing-esque transport, as well as quite a few mercenary ships in the background - those seem like logical options for Resistance and Scum ships).

New Star Wars film was excellent, but oddly enough I'm actually not all that fond of the new ship designs in it. No reason to keep them out of the tabletop game though. Gives me something new to shoot at.

It's a very nice, imposing update to the lambda.

A lambda with a slightly better dial would be cool, especially if you get Kylo Ren and Phasma as crew cards.

It and the Rebel Transport (the B-wing-esque thing Leia arrives in) open up a new set of design space - large ship only Tech upgrades.

You can homebrew one easily from the Micromachines or Titanium model.
