Yes, Jeff you described the AT-PT well. I remember it from my Rogue Squadron CPU game. However, I was inquiring about the AT-AP as mentioned in my post that Darth Gamboa addressed.

Matt, no prob, and I'm still looking for those bugers.  I remember seeing the Red ARC-170 at WM but I never did pick one up.  When I was ready, I never saw one again.   :(

Not sure if you guys caught the recent poll on RS, but it sounds like Hasbro may be considering adding "Alpha" (concept) vehicles into this line's future, likely due to the fact that they're almost out of ships to choose from at this point.  I'm not personallyin favor of the idea, especially since they're already stretching the line incredibly thin at this point, but nearly 70% of those who answered wanted the concept vehicles added.  Ugh.  I'd rather just see this line gracefully come to it's end after several more waves...

This is one of the few lines that I actually enjoy collecting unlike some of the other stuff in this hobby.  I was really into the real Micro Machine lil car things as a kid, then I got a few of the SW ships back in the mid nineties before I got back into SW everything in 99.  I am getting pretty sick of all the repaints as most of us are, so I welcome any new vehicles to this line with open arms.  Though I have to say that the red Interceptor and Firespray are some nice repaints so I actually consider them to be different vehicles. 

I miss the $4.99 price point as that was perfect, but if I might bail on this line if they keep jacking the prices up.  I do get disgusted looking at the amount of product we get compared to a 99 cent HW car.  Yes yes, licensing and packaging aside

The AT-AP's were on Kashyyyk's beaches, but tough to spot...  I was thinking one was maybe visible in the Mygeeto sequence as well but I could be wrong there, and I know some were visible as holographs on some war tables (I believe the Jedi and Seps both).  One might be visible in the Felucia background as well but I'm not positive on that...  Kashyyyk is where they were most visible.

Rumored Wave from Rebelscum:

# Darth Vader TIE Fighter (white deco)
# Kit Fisto's Jedi Starfigher
# Trade Federation Battleship (Hopefully in ROTS colors)
# Yoda AT-RT  ??? Yoda & Chewie riding the AT-RT from the cut scene perhaps?
# Rouge Shadow Fighter

Rouge shadow fighter?  Should that be rogue shadow fighter, or can I expect it to be red?

When was Vader's Tie white?  Huh? 

They should do a multipack with a couple of the smaller skiffs from Tatooine.

Maybe the Rogue ship is a Wraith Squad fighter?  Just a guess but could be way off.

White Vader's TIE, eh?  Man, this line is going from bad to worse with the asinine repaints they're dreaming up.  It's really making me want to quit collecting these, knowing how badly I'm being taken advantage of, but I know I won't.  The recent 20% price hike sure isn't helping matters either.

I'm quite curious to see what (how bad) the rest of that wave's gonna look like...

I hate the price hike too Matt and for the time being I'm pretty much done with these unless I hear one's hard to find and I spot it.

About the repaints, I love 'em if they make sense...  A white Vader's TIE makes no sense though, since Vader's TIE was light grey in the films, and the toy wasn't even light grey or white.  Even the die-cast Vader TIE was a darker grey...  So I dunno what the deal is with that one.

I'm down with a green A-Wing, a battledamaged (I wish they did more than just faint silver dabs though) markings, a B-Wing with a lizard on it, shark's teeth ARC fighters, and other "Hasbro havin' fun" paintjobs...  White Vader's TIE's though are an easy pass for me.  This is a line I want(ed) to enjoy at my leisure though too so passing is an easy thing for me.  Right now, not spending anything has been easy due to the price hike, but I do miss them when I see something cool.

The next Wave is out!!!


Tonight Darth Gamboa got the V-wing titanium ship for me( sadly, it's the only new sculpt in the wave-and since I'm tired of repaints, all I'm getting are the new sculpts now).

Happy hunting
