A lot of questions have been posed regarding the status of the 1:12 Scale Tantive IV Blockade Runner Display Set. Recently GTP sent out an email notifying current and potential customers about a shake up in their business as well as production delays due to COVID restrictions for their first officially licensed product. They look to be able to full preorders by July/August 2021 and no more will be made after that due to low sales volumes. If you’re looking to get this for your collection it may be best not to wait.
