CW V-19 Torrent Starfighter
Brian:
This is one of the new items that has been sold out around here since 7/26. I saw some that night, but passed since I was spending enough already, and now I haven't seen them again. I had one on order at TRU.com (with another couple figures to get the free holo Grievous, since our store didn't have those), but I got an e-mail today that they were cancelling that part of the order. HTS is sold out right now too, so this must be a pretty popular ship. I look forward to picking it up eventually.

I agree, if it had V-Wing type deco this would have looked killer. For some reason it reminds me too much of a Thundercat vessel from LJN. I do not think I will be buying another of these, not a terrible ship, I am just not that into it.

Agreed. It's not Hasbro's fault (well except maybe they could have put some wear on the deco). The design of the ship just isn't thrilling to me to want to own another one of it.
Honestly, I'd rather have had the more blocky, forward cockpit, than the sleek further aft cockpit version. The former was the original cartoon's version. But I guess to keep it the same as the movie, Hasbro had to go the route it did. Again not their fault.
Now if there's a SHADOW V-19...j/k

I got this ship the other day off the Target 10% off sale and I must say I am digging it. It's a fun toy to play with, the wings move in a variety of directions to give the ship a unique look. The deco is a bit bland and disappointing, but overall it hasn't effected my appreciation for the ship. I'd go so far to say it's Hasbro's best $20 price-point vehicle since the Hailfire Droid of 2003.
Brian:
I picked one of these up at WM last weekend, and I'm just as happy with it as everyone else. It really is a nice ship, especially at the $20 pricepoint. As a side note (and I guess it doesn't really belong in this forum), but looking at what they can seperate into the "starfighter" sized box (like the V-Wing, V-19, etc.), I really don't see why they couldn't put a few more OT ships into that $20 line. Sure, things like the X-Wing don't fit (at least not the FX mold), but I think things like the A-Wing, Y-Wing, and new scaled Snowspeeder would fit just right. Anyways, off topic...the V-19 is nice.
