Sounds like there are some "rumors" out there that we could see a "Star Wars The Black Series Snowspeeder Deluxe Vehicle" announced at Toy Fair... I'd say that sounds about right with the 40th anniversary of ESB this year. ;)

Ouch. I love that ship. That would be a tough one to pass on...
-
6 inch scale Snowspeeder will be interesting because scale wise, it's a really small vehicle and could probably be done for $100. I'd assume it's a little larger than the $60 vehicle/speeder line. I want one but yikes, do I not have the space for it

I hope this rumor proves true! The Snowspeeder is certainly doable in the 6” scale and there’s tons of potential for detail, working features, etc. The FO Tie fighter they did several years ago was awesome, but those wings took up a bit of space... A snowspeeder wouldn’t be nearly as bulky and it would likely sell better as it’s an OT vehicle. I’d definitely be down for one if it becomes a reality 8)

Is Snowspeeder Luke rumored to be released? If both rumors pan out, we’d need Dack to ride “harpoon-gun”. Perhaps a pack-in?

Jayson is teasing Dak as a potential pack-in: 6″ scale Snowspeeder with Dak? Now that is interesting…. (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2020/02/17/rumor-report-more-tbs-carbonized-figures-and-a-vehicle-with-figure/)

A 6” scale snowspeeder seems like it’s within the realm of possibility. And a pack-in Dak Ralter is a cool bonus, too. And IIRC there has been a rumor circulating about a 6” Snowspeeder pilot Luke Skywatcher, too.

Snowspeeder Luke is in wave 2 of the carded TBS 40th Anniversary TESB wave.

Thanks, Jayson. I'm pretty sure I heard about this from either you or Jeff, but didn't want to assume... ;D

I've backed away from the 6 inch line. But, I have to have that snow speeder. Looks fantastic!

Along with the Falcon, the Snowspeeder was the only other Star Wars vehicle I had as a kid, so it has always been one of my favorites. Even with space ever dwindling, I don’t think I can pass on this. It looks great too.
Side note, it really shows the shift in popular scales where - outside of the little TVC we saw - everything else (Black Series, Marvel Legends, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Power Rangers) is 6” scale. It does make me worry a little about the longevity of 3 3/4” stuff. It seems like the rest of the lines generally have a $10 “kid” line, and a $20-25 “collector” line.
-
That Snowspeeder looks amazing! It seems like a big and even more detailed version of the TVC/Saga one we got about a decade ago. No way I’m passing this up.
-
This might be the coolest Star Wars thing every made. So impressed with the idea and the execution. I'll probably get one. ;)
-
Anyone know if this is still slated for a July 2020 release? It can’t be that far out as there are already product reviews appearing on YouTube and Hasbro Pulse is showing in stock.
-
I know people who preordered from Gamestop are getting theirs. I'm personally holding out for a few more weeks and hoping I can snag one in person
-
Thanks! I ordered one from Hasbro Pulse and it’s been marked as shipped already. I haven’t decided if I’ll keep my original preorder with EE or just cancel it... Might be nice to keep and MIB example around.
-
I pre-ordered this from Amazon way back when. Then decided against it so I cancelled. Then when it came back up for pre-order recently I did so again. Glad I did. It's a beauty. Mine is also the correct "zz" version.
Now of course where the hell do I put it?
-
The new Snowspeeder is awesome 8)
I mean where to begin? It has an amazing level of detail, tons of functionality, and working features. It is very similar to the 3.75” Legacy Snowspeeder from a decade ago in terms of design, just even more detailed and realistic. Really, it’s almost a studio model in a way. Definitely the best of the Black Series 6” scale vehicles by far and a fitting tribute to an iconic Star Wars vehicle.
Here’s some pictures for those interested:

I assume that's a stand you had previously? I didn't throw mine out? (Like my Black Series D-O stand)
-
Those are great photos! I hope I can open mine soon. And the stand is a significant upgrade for displaying it!
-

Yeah, the stand is one I had previously. It’s an acrylic stand designed for a 1/18th scale WWII SBD Dauntless aircraft model, but works quite well for the Snowspeeder.
-
I never bought this and I see where the price on this is starting to come down on Amazon to make it even more tempting.
I know we've got another thread going on displaying large vehicles, but was curious what your thoughts are on this vehicle, how big it is, and if its worth getting.
I'm really running out of room on my 6" figure shelves and am concerned the large, flat nature of this will take up half a shelf all by itself. I passed on the TIE Fighter years ago for the same reason.
-
I still haven't decided where to display this after pre ordering, cancelling, and then re ordering. But it's gorgeous. Top notch details. I'll display it like it's ready to fly up the wall off the floor if need be.
-
I’ve held off on this too because to me this has always had “Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deep Discount” written all over it. I’ll be shocked if the price doesn’t drop below $100. Hopefully my patience pays off...

Yeah, I'm hoping for the same, but for some reason Target isn't carrying this anymore online so I'm starting to get spooked about stocking levels. I was hoping to use the 25% Target coupon on this but its not on their site. I ended up finally getting the Luke/Yoda Dagobah set with my coupon.
-
I want/need this, but I share the same concerns about space as everyone else has. I have a 6 inch scale Batman TAS Batmobile that perfectly fits on top of my bookshelf, and that's about all the vehicle space I have. I've made the Landspeeder work, but it's small.

I nabbed one of these with one of the recent sales - had been holding off as well, but was starting to get spooked about missing it as well. The Snowspeeder is one of my favorite vehicle designs, so I couldn't pass on it. I popped mine open this weekend and it has some cool features that I wasn't expecting, like safety belts in the cockpit, retractable tow cable, 3 landing gear with dual hatch openings on the bottom. Dak has a removable helmet, and it comes with the harpoon gun and a couple of grenades. Its lighter than I expected and about twice the length of the vintage speeder if that helps. I didn't realize how much smaller a speeder is compared to a TIE though - the 6" scale TIE dwarfs it. I always consider them similar in size based on the vintage toys, but its not close.

I am really hoping to find one of these at a discount in the next few days, if anyone sees any good deals please post here, thx!

Only deal I've seen on these so far is on Hasbro Pulse, where orders over $100 get 20% off. Cuts the price to $95.99 before tax and shipping. I will likely hold off until Monday to see if there are any better deals, if not I'll probably order through Hasbro.
-
Currently $83.99 on Amazon!
Looks like it's the Deal of the Day for today only. (added the JD referral link Jeff posted in Page 1)

I missed it... :'(
-
I ended up getting pulled away and missed the Amazon deal myself. Wound up ordering through Hasbro Pulse since they had 20% off orders over $100. With free shipping, I only ended up paying about $12 more than I would have through Amazon, still saving about $30 total with tax and shipping.

Thanks for posting this! I had no idea this deal was going on, so I jumped on it too. Came to $101 with tax. In a way this actually works out better because at $99+ I can stretch the payments out over six months with PayPal. ;D
Can’t wait to finally get my hands on one of these!

This seems to have moved around a bit in the past month.
Sometimes I track Amazon prices using CamelCamelCamel (catchy name) to see if it might be worth waiting or not. Here is the link (https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0824RKNY2) to the Snowspeeder one.
If people are still looking for this you may want to watch Amazon for a couple of weeks to see if it pops back up at a sale price.
