It must have to do with the Lucasfilm side of licensing then, because Marvel falls under the Disney umbrella and they have no problem showing concept art and WIPs for those pieces as you say.
I honestly just don't get what the hold up is.

Might even be a stipulation specifically for the Asian territory specifically(Asia market is probably a whole different department) though like I said even SS concepts are being filtered through Disney nowadays (not that they showed a ton before). I just doubt it's XM, why would they want to? They have been so incredibly open about absolutely everything else. I don't see a reason to doubt their word on this.
i like your sig btw

Any way you look at it it just doesn't make sense, which is what makes it frustrating for fans. Best thing to do is just stop trying to figure it out I guess. They'll show it when they show it. Then I'll be sad because I can't afford it. lol
The signature I got due to a little misunderstanding. It's supposed to be for premium members only but due to forum member Brainiac's generosity I got to keep it.

Yeah it's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing them :/
Well it's a good sig, though I think changing out the Vader on the left for a vader from the films would be even better

Hey guys. Here's what Inthink of the sculpts.
The Grievous is just HUGE. I'd say about the same size as a life size Yoda? And whether you get it or not really depends more on space.
The Vader three piece has an awesome Anakin and Little Ani but the Vader I think underwhelms. Might just swap that out for the SS one.
The Maul piece is the best of the new pieces. Very dynamic up in mid air pose.
The Dagobah Yoda and Luke and XWing Luke works if you're a Luke fan I guess.

Doesn't sound too promising

Thanks! The Darth Maul was the only one I was interested in.

Maul was the one i was looking forward to as well. Does he have a hood and how accurate is the face?

The room must have been really dark.
Grievous: promising but too expensive
Darth Maul: promising overall
Vader: never been interested in the triorama, no interest in the bratAnakin
Luke Yoda/Pilot: sounds great, that's exactly what I always wanted. Main characters in their iconic outfits, bring it on with a good Han Solo and non-slutty Leia. The market lacks good human characters from the original trilogy.
It all comes down to portraits' likenesses btw.

The Grievous base is the size of a life size yoda base. The stat is not as tall. Never realized a 1/4 yoda would be so tiny.
its a joke how the SW line is handled by XM.. they can #&$($& themselves ..
that being said...
Grievous .. to much stuff going on.. not my thing
Maul .. he jumps off his bike like in EP1 .. kind of cool... but again.. not my thing
Luke/Yoda.. he is training and is doing the hand stand thing and balancing Yoda on his leg.. not sure about that
Luke X wing pilot.. that one looks really good !! I need to see that one painted up
Vader set.. again.. as mentioned.. disappointed and helmet looks off

This one and the Stormtrooper set that was shown last year are the only ones I'm interested in.

What does Grievous's pose look like and does Maul/Grievous look comicish like Boba?
likeness on the humans is very important. I don't know if I can fork over this kind of dough if they turn out to be like the attakus verisons : )
Having said that I want all of them. But I just can't pay around $2k USD shipped for ANY 1/4 scale statue, no matter how magnificent, so grievous is out.
I will likely have to pass on the vader trio is well if all 3 aren't "perfect".
But I am buying the rest for sure...Maul especially interests me.
