Title: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Rune Haako on March 23, 2006, 04:13 PM
New Rumors from Rebelscum (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Whats_Next_For_Hasbro_97738.asp):

Assault Vehicles
Due out around September, the Hailfire Droid and 'Droid Federation Tank' (presumably the AAT) will be back in the new packaging. It's still unknown if they're straight repacks or if they'll be repainted. Also be on the lookout for BOTH Darth Vader's Advanced TIE (shown at Toy Fair) and Darth Vader's Black Starfighter. Presumably a black repaint of the ROTS Jedi Starfighter.

Wonderful, I cannot get enough Trade Federation Tanks to blast gungans and the Hailfire Droid is one of the best vehicles ever done.

Good, good.  The vehicles are good news.  Rehashes, yes - but good choices.

Hmmm... more vehicle repacks.

Hailfire Droid and Droid Federation Tank (AAT) -  I don't have a problem with these being re-released.  It's been 3 years since the last release and that Hailfire Droid is pretty cool.

Darth Vader's Black Jedi Starfighter  - Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, and now Black?  Seriously?  I guess all we need now are Orange and Indigo and we'll have all the colors of the rainbow!   ::)

I can dig all of these.  The AAT Tank is really cool... I already have more than I need of it, but hell I might get one more. 

Hailfire - definitely a great choice.  I have one and could really use one more.

Vader Starfighter - I love this idea, and am 100% for it.

they need to redo the Target exclussive Tie with corrected wings (preferably with a more reasonable price point).  I totally missed them first time around and did not even see one.  I'd be all for that!

Post by: Reid on March 23, 2006, 05:45 PM
I might get the AAT, but will pass on the others. I'd be nice if the AAT included a pack-in figure, like a battle droid. Or a new ROTS Nute Gunray. That would be cool.

Awesome if true.  Both vehicles rock.  I have 5 ATTs but only one Hallfire.  I love it but those missles are really easy to fire by mistake  :P

Post by: Brian on March 24, 2006, 10:38 AM
More repacks, but I guess I like that they are keeping a "mid-size" vehicle assortment going, even if it is repacks/repaints.  I don't know if I'll pick any up or not...I don't have the AAT or Hailfire Droid, but I don't have a lot of room either, so we'll see.  I usually lean more towards OT vehicles at this point, and I'm saving room for the rumored Snowspeeder and AT-AT this year if we see them.  They might be getting a little crazy with the starfighter repaints, but to be honest, I'm somewhat interested in this black Vader version.  I might pick it up, we'll see.  I'm still on the fence about the Windu version, we'll see.  I just really like the ship itself, but I do have the Anakin (yellow) and Obi-Wan (red) versions, so I don't know how many I need.

Booya! 8)

The Hailfire is one of my top wanted items. I knew it would be rereleased eventually.

The AAT is an excellent rerelease as well, but I already have one and I dont need another.

Darth Vader's TIE: pass. Not saying it isn't a good idea, just that I'm not interested personally.

Darth Vader's black Eta-2: I kind of want this. I actually don't have any of the Eta-2s yet, and this one and Mace purple will probably be the only two I get.

Darth Vader's Black Jedi Starfighter  - Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, and now Black?  Seriously?  I guess all we need now are Orange and Indigo and we'll have all the colors of the rainbow!   ::)

Hey, there's still the Kit Fisto version. That just leaves one more and we're all set. Agen Kolar? Shaak Ti? Zett Jukassa? ;)

We'll, good for those who don't have the Federation vehicles yet. The Vader fighter is kinda cool. Not bad for an EU idea.

I wonder though, how many people buy the Federation stuff to have the variations, and how many are buying because they never got them the first time around?

Post by: DoctorPadawan on March 25, 2006, 01:50 PM
While I think rereleasing the Hailfire Droid and the AAT are excellent ideas, this Vader Starfighter doesn't seem like such a sound move at this point in time.  Hasbro goes on and on about "competing for shelf space" yet two of the five vehicles that are in this mid-sized assortment are both going to say "Darth Vader's (something) Starfighter" on the box.  Not to mention the fact that the shelves are already going to have an Anakin Starfighter (Yellow) and a Mace Starfighter (Purple) alongside the black Vader Starfighter, and it's just confusing for the general public Hasbro claims they do this for to the nth degree.

The thing that I find fairly amusing about this getting made is that in the "Dark Lord" book, Vader's thoughts are about how uncomfortable the fighter is and how he wants his experimental design from Sienar ASAP so he can get out of that ETA model.  Leave it to Hasbro to make a "stop-gap" vehicle from the EU.  ;D

If they wanted to get some variety to this line of mid-sized vehicles, why not make the Anakin JSF the green/white TRU version (sans figure), include the AAT and Hailfire Droid as is, and then throw the AT-ST or Snowspeeder out as mass market items alongside them?  I have no problem with the Vader TIE, as it is a nice ship, but three JSFs on the shelves at open retail at one time? 

More ammunition for Hasbro's "vehicles don't sell" argument I guess.  The only thing that could make this more "trainwreck" worthy would be if they included the Cruisemissle Trooper in the assortments.

Post by: Greg on March 26, 2006, 09:07 PM
I dunno, the Saga Collection is going to have a lot of Jedi Starfighters on the shelves at once. Anakins, Obi Wans, Mace's, and Vader's. I'm going to try and get both of Vader's ships, since I've never gotten an earlier versin of
Vader's TIE, and I like the Jedi Starfighters. As for the droid tanks, I'll pick them up, since I'd like to have duplicates of them. The AAT seems kind of useless, since there are no battle droids coming out to pilot it. As for someone mentioning re-releaseing the green Anakin Jedi Starfighter, I think the blue Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter would be better, since it could be labeled as Aayla Securas Jedi Starfighter. (She flew one with the same color scheme in the Obsessions comics, and then later lent it to Obi Wan.)

From 4-inches.com (http://www.4-inches.de/inhalt/news.htm), a few more rumored vehicles for the Saga ine up:

Assault Vehicles
Darth Vader's Starfighter
Droid Federation Tank - AAT Geonosis Battle
Hailfire Droid
Imperial TIE Fighter (White Death Star Squadron Deco)
Saesee Tin Jedi Starfighter

Imperial TIE Fighter (White Death Star Squadron Deco)

I'm assuming that would be with the vintage wings and not the new ****-hot correct ones.  :-\
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line

So this TIE will be accurately painted I assume? And I suppose Tinn's fighter will be another E3 Jedi Fighter repaint.

Post by: Jesse James on April 25, 2006, 02:45 AM
I hope it's a grey deco NEW winged TIE Fighter...  If the Vader's TIE was that, I'd buy it as well.  They were grey, not blue-grey, so I've been a little bummed they haven't done ANH decoes.  Hope they do soon....  And not the old midget sculpt wings on the TIE either, blah.
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Matt R. on April 25, 2006, 03:43 AM
My thoughts

1. AAT-Love this vehicle, but I don't have one.

2. Hailfire Tank-This is a good vehicle wait for the clearance section.


3. Darth Vader's Starfighter-that would be awesome, maybe a sneak preview of the SW TV show.

4. White Tie Fighter-I want this one bad. hope its the large wings version

5. Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter-Don't care (its probably the CW Season One )

The proper scaled Tie in the $20 line? Right where it should have been in the first place.
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Jesse James on April 26, 2006, 01:37 AM
No doubt...  Hopefully they blew their "cheapness" load on it the first time, and that a wide-release one to all retailers would make it at the $20 pricepoint.  I'm not counting on that though unfortunately.  To me it'll be actually insulting to see a squat-winged TIE on shelves, which is what I wholely expect to see.   ::)
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Darth_Anton on April 26, 2006, 09:21 AM
Yeah, I don't even think the larger scaled wings fit in a Mid-sized vehicle box.

They won't unless they are retooled to be collapsable or to come apart at the midline (lengthwise) :(
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Jesse James on April 27, 2006, 03:30 AM
I'm trying to think, but did Vader's TIE fit in that sort of standard box for the $20-ish pricepoint?  I'm thinking the POTF2 one did, but the OTC one was a different box as I recall I guess...

But yeah I'm wholely expecting the squat-winged fighter, not the right one.  Disappointing.

Post by: Darth_Anton on April 27, 2006, 09:19 AM
The Vader Tie was definately in a box roughtly the same size as the mid ship, if not the same. What else shipped with it? The Outrider and T-16?

The T-16 definitely and I'm almost positive the red A-wing did also.  Not too sure on the Outrider but it's possible.

The "original" mid-sized vehicles that shipped in the same sized boxes were:

TIE Fighter
T-16
A-Wing (this was the only box with a window in it as is came with a figure)
Vader's TIE

The Outrider's box was slightly larger and shipped by itself during the "Shadows Of The Empire" campaign. It re-shipped in a green box that was the same size as the original purple one and also shipped by itself for a brief time after the "Special Editions" were released.

Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on April 29, 2006, 11:07 AM
Our of curiosity I compared the Naboo fighter can fit inside the mid size box too. I just bought it at a flea market last week brand new for $20. One of the only ships I passed on. Not bad, a EP2 worn deco may look cool for a rehash.

Has anyone opened up the new repackaged Saga2 Obi starfighter? 

I am wondering if they improved the paint job to a better red. The ROTS one is a little too dark compared to the film.

I'm absolutely on board for the Hailfire, since I don't have the previous release and it's one of my favorite PT vehicles.

Undecided on the AAT--I have the earlier version (thanks Scott!) but this has new paint and the CIS insignia....
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Brian on May 11, 2006, 03:37 PM
I'm half tempted to pick these up as well, we'll see.  I don't have the earlier versions of either, but at the same time I don't have a lot of display space left for vehicles - and the OT ships I have take precedence - so with the AT-AT, and possibly a Snowspeeder coming later this year, space might be at a premium.

Anyways, looking at these, I might pick up the AAT, that looks pretty nice and I kind of like that ship.  We'll see about the Hailfire Droid.  I do like the Vader Starfighter, and I hope to pick that one up.  I'm just a fan of that starfighter design in general, that's a pretty nice ship.
Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Rob on May 11, 2006, 04:58 PM
I think for the first time I'm going to say to hell with it and pass on a repainted vehicle... my rule has always been that if the repaint makes it into a potentially different vehicle or troop that I'd buy it - but I'm sick of it.  I've got 3 different EII Jedi Star Fighters, 4 different E3 Jedi Star Fighters (with two more on the way...), 3 Different X-Wings, 3 Different (with a fourth on the way) Republic Gunships and now a third different Tank with a second different Hailfire Droid.

I'm officially done buying these.  If Hasbro wants to sell me a vehicle, make me a ******* reissued cloud car, or spend the money to sculpt a Sith Infiltrator or a Sail Barge or ANYTHING new.

I'm done.

Don't let Hasbro hear this, but I'd like to eventually get all 6/7 of them.  So far I only have 3, I still gotta get Anakin's green one (the exclusive one from TRU).   They'd look cool all displayed side by side.

Not each and everyone.  The top two rows of each battery fire.  The bottom two rows are deco.  The firing is spring loaded, touch me and see me fire.  I enjoy it.  You can sorta wave your hand over it like a jedi mind trick and suddenly you have 16 (I think) missles all over the place.

Title: Re: 2006 Saga Assault Vehicles Line
Post by: Jesse James on May 18, 2006, 01:20 AM
I'm pretty pleased with these vehicle choices...  I'll pick them mostly all up as well...  The Hailfire's scale isn't exact but it's pretty close actually.  The AAT's the same way but it's much closer actually.  The Jedi Fighter looks fantastic in black though, I can't wait to see the final one...  I like the way the Droid vehicles look battle worn too and as if they've been on the front lines for years.

I wish Hasbro would've put a better foot forward and given us NEW $20 pricepoint vehicles though...  Like in particular I'd have liked to see the Corp. Alliance Droid Tank from the Kashyyyk Landings...  :(  Pack-in a poseable battledroid to ride it and it's a smash hit I think.  I'm surprised we didn't see more of the $15 line though myself...  BARCS, RT's, and Wookiee Copters sold really well this past year.

I think though, Hasbro's seeing that $20 or less = sales...  $30 = some sales, but some stagnation on the shelves...  $40+ = exclusives turf, and risky.

I'm really wishing I'd gotten the two TRU exclusive JSF's for Obi and Ani now. :(  I passed at the time, and now I want them both desperately.
