Class II vehicles. Jango's Slave I was shown, but in a new triangular-shaped packaging with the Vader design.

[sarcasm]Good news everyone - the super-popular mini-Slave I is being carried forward into the Fall Class II assortment! [/sarcasm]

Triangular shaped packaging? I'm interested to see what those look like... doesn't sound like something that will stack nicely on retailer shelves.

First picture I've seen of it.

Post by: Pete_Fett on February 9, 2013, 10:42 PM: Was there any indication as to which of the three Class II vehicles that are in Yoda packaging AREN'T getting re-released in the Vader packaging? Or are those cases going to bump the count out to 4 vehicles per box? The only reason I ask is cause I already grabbed a MIB set of the three Yoda-packaging ones, and I'll also get the Vader packaging releases, and I want one of each to open, I'd much rather just wait and open the Vader-packaging re-releases when they come out, but if one of the three aren't getting re-released, I'll grab it now....

Post by: McMetal on December 26, 2013, 03:19 PM: I saw Target had clearance stickers on these today for $13.98 each. I guess they are dumping everything outside of figures? I guess we weren't likely to get much else in this line anyway, not that there was a lack of good choices. Non-exclusive vehicles just seem DOA for 2014.

Also saw they had that Rise of Vader set for 50% off...still meh.

Post by: Rob on March 28, 2014, 10:45 PM: Is the Obi-Wan Starfighter the same as the previous releases or is it a scaled down version of the originals? I've decided to go back and get some ships that I skipped, and I was about to buy this one off of the HTS sale... but I don't want it if it's not basically the same as it's always been.

?

Post by: Pete_Fett on June 12, 2014, 08:16 AM: I've been seeing the 2nd wave of these hit pretty regularly at my local Toys R Us. Wave 2 is the Boba Fett's Slave I, Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter (Blue), Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (EU version of Obi-Wan's AOTC Red one in Yellow).

I picked up a set of three for my MIB collection. I'm gonna wait for coupons or rewards bucks or something to pick up my openers - if I get them at all.

When I first saw these, I guess in my mind the blue Jedi Starfighter looked more purple and they were doing Mace's ship in this smaller scale - I'm confused as to why Obi-Wan needed a 3rd ship in this line. If you're a kid and you have the 5POA Obi-Wan figure, how many vehicles does he need to fly around in? Same goes for Anakin really.

I can appreciate that Hasbro is trying to save money and re-use the molds they already paid for as shelf-filler - but why not give us new color schemes and release them as simply "Jedi Starfighter" and not give any ownership to the vehicle?

I would have much rather found the 3rd wave of Saga Legends figures (Jedi Luke, Snowtrooper, Clone Wars Obi-Wan & Darth Maul) - but I'm starting to think that those figures may never hit here in the US...
