Big Items of the Future!
Nicklab:
I got together with the folks from SWAN today. And their impressions from Toy Fair were very similar to my own. They had some additional notes. Most noteworthy is that word has come down from Hasbro corporate to ALL the licensed groups: CUT COSTS & REDUCE YOUR NUMBER OF SKU'S. With that kind of corporate edict you can completely understand the current state of the Star Wars license and why they will not offer a new large vehicle in 2013.

Well not a lot of updates to this for a long time, and not Playset specific, but I thought I'd post in here an article I did with a review.

The review was from a sample we were sent by Nova, for their Ubiquitous Display system.
It's sort of like the GTP Space Walls, but different. I'd say the name explains it all fairly well, but they are a more customizable system. A bit more versatile way to make scifi/industrial/military looking backgrounds for your action figures. They're scale-neutral. They're interesting and while the concept isn't new, I would say it's not been this polished.
The sets are entirely injection molded plastic, no resin or 3D prints, and in general just the kind of thing I think collectors might enjoy having as a display option.
Check out my review please, and feel free to chat up the topic here till we maybe make a thread otherwise for it.
PS: I took pictures with 6" figures for reference only. I don't really collect them but I wanted to show they're quite at home in this system even though I obviously focus on 3.75" figures throughout it.
Any questions or concerns about my photography skills can be addressed by donating to the "Buy Jesse a nice camera fund". :)
CHEWIE:
Great review, you just convinced me that I need at least 1-2 sets. Which, I really can't afford right now due to the Sail Barge. I'll guess find a way.

Cool stuff! I had seen some similar Japanese starship interior pieces (on the HLJ site, IIRC), but never thought about the potential for crossing that stuff over to Star Wars. Probably because the walls didn't have that telltale Imperial interior look to them.
But seeing this in the context of your review? These spaces could pass for a more unaffiliated starship interior. A diorama of Han Solo's freighter in TFA, the Eravana, might be well served with pieces like this.
Beyond that? It's interesting to see the comments in this thread from 5 years ago, my own included. ESPECIALLY about the Sail Barge! I would jump at the chance to get a $200 Sail Barge like someone mentioned, compared with the $500 we're faced with now. Who knew crowd funding could be such a force?

A Jesse James review. My day is now a better day! ;D
