Solo 3.75" Class B Vehicle Assortment
« on: April 9, 2018, 09:45 AM »
I guess Hasbro/Disney began to open the floodgates at midnight last night and allowed some things to go up for pre-order, so I guess it's ok to officially start up some new threads...

Class B case is 2x Han's Landspeeder (SOLO); 1x A-Wing (TLJ).

I have low expectations for this movie, and I'm not thrilled about what they did to the Falcon, but I kind of like that speeder.

Amazon has a pre-order listing for Han Solo's speeder as well as the A-wing reissue.  $29.99 for this?  Really?  My, how things have changed.  A vehicle like this used to be $19.99 in a movie year.

As for the TIE Fighter that may or may not be in this assortment?  I hope it's the Heavy TIE Fighter!

All signs point to that Solo Mimban/Heavy TIE being in a class up from this, so more likely $40-50 for the TIE (like the over-priced TFA First Order TIE or TLJ Kylo's TIE Silencer). :(

Fingers crossed that it’s going to be at the $39.99 price point.

Interesting that Han's landspeeder has a crumple feature like Zam speeder from AOTC.

Picked up Han's Speeder today, and although it is larger than those AOTC speeders, it doesn't seem like a $30 item. Having the figure packed with it contributes to that I guess, but still.

I kind of dig this speeder and may get it if a deal comes along. All the vehicles are overpriced IMHO. Some more than others.

Had a difficult time finding Han's speeder without a bashed box. Found a decent one, then set it down because of the $30 price tag. This won't be flying off the shelves, so I'll grab it later.

I really like the look of this. Like the boxy style. And the crash feature is just nice for something different

I had the same problem. I really wanted one to open anyway, so I have my opener, but I still need to track one down that's MIB.

So has anyone actually bought this Falcon?  It seems to be sharing shelf space along with the Landspeeder and Force Link 2.0 version of the A-wing, the boxes are the exact same size as the class B vehicles, but I haven't seen indications that it's shipping with them.

I have not purchased it. But I can say it is a separate item from the 3.75 scale stuff

I think it's a given that it's not intended to be a part of the 3.75" figure system since it's so scaled down.  But it does have the Force Link 2.0 tech, is at the same price point as the speeder and A-wing, and the box is about the same size.

For me it's really more a point of curiosity.  I get Hasbro wanting to get a budget version of the Falcon on the market that's small enough for kids to be able to handle it for play purposes.  I guess I'm kind of wondering out loud if it's shipping with the other class B vehicles.

I've watched them pull 3 Falcons from it's own case and the AWing and Landspeeder from their own case. Separate dpci at Target too
