I just picked up the Gunship and Republic Assault Ship at Wal-Mart. I have the Slave 1 also that I picked up about two weeks ago. I really like these ships. I hope the line continues for a long time. I hope they bring out the ones that were planned a year or so ago.

I will be picking up one of these ships. It is painted different so therefore to me it is a new ship. If it was just a repack with no new paint deco ect I would pass. But it appears to be battledamaged.

I already have X2 Clone Pilots for this ship.

Boba Binks

I came up with Boba Binks around Episode 1. At the time everyone's favorite character seemed to be Boba Fett and everyone seemed to hate Jar Jar Binks. So I put the two together and came up with Boba Binks - The most feared Bounty Hunter on Naboo.  

Clone Pilots are neat. But they seem to be warming the pegs along with Padme Pilot and Jango Pilot.
I hope that since there is a new GunSHip coming out people will start to buy two of them for the ship so that they will have pilots for it.

These two sets were very plentiful not too long ago. Now all of a sudden they have disappeared. I know at a few Wal-Marts around here they have been moving many of the toys to a discount aisle. I have seen the 12" marked down from $10.00 all the way to $3.00 each, The Deluxe FF Obi-Wan, Tyranus, and Jango for $5.00 each, the Tie Bomber for $12.00, and some other junk type stuff.
It might be worth checking out to see if they moved these sets to that aisle.

I am looking for a set for a fellow poster in my area. It seems as if they have disappeared all of a sudden.

I have always thought that Hasbro might of thought that the missing hand would be too groooooosooooome for little kids. But then the 12" Vader had it so I do not know.
Maybe it was too small to do correctly.
Ok throw me a bone, I have no idea.

If I was a carded collector I could see the frustrations with transition cards. It is not a fun thing. If they do happen to have transition cards I hope you all the best in acquiring the ones you want for your collections.

I already sent Isaac a money order.
