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.

Thanks for the comments on the photos, everyone

I agree including sound effects would have been neat, but I’m perfectly OK without them...  Batteries can get old, explode, and ruin the electronics (a fact I sadly learned from my Clone Wars AT-AP).  It’s best not to have those features in my book.

I received my Imperial Troop Transport from Entertainment Earth this past Wednesday, but on account of being sick the past couple days, haven’t had a chance to open it until today...  Here’s a quick review and some photos 



Overall, the vehicle looks fantastic and has excellent paint applications, weathering, and detail.  It is somewhat on the smaller side, but still fits in scale-wise with other vehicles like the Assault Tank.





As has been noted previously, only the left and right forward troop doors open whereas the others are fixed. A top hatch opens and a figure can stand on one of the interior jump seats to look out.  The gun turret rotates & has elevating guns.





Even the transport’s underside is highly detailed with the repulsorlifts, etc.



The real neat part of the vehicle is the interior.  The vehicle roof pulls off and there is a lot to look at in there.  From the wiring, to the floor plating, to the gun rack, to the folding jump seats, to the fans detailed on the roof part, this is certainly one of the best detailed Star Wars vehicles out there.  There are 6 jump seats detailed, though only four fold down.  A figure can’t really stand up in the interior, but that is actually similar to the way a lot of actual armored personnel carriers are.  Plenty of room in the interior for additional cargo.  The rear hatch opens upwards and it’s a little awkward to place a figure running out the hatch...









The cockpit is also very well detailed.  Because of the way the doors open, it a little hard to see everything in there, however there are all sorts of wiring and switches detailed. The drivers have actual seats and the control columns are movable.  Even the inside of the doors are detailed with latches, etc. I’m using a couple AT-ST crew figures in my transport and they work well.





Overall, I’m really happy with the new Imperial Troop Transport vehicle and am glad I got one.  It is yet another fantastic addition to the Vintage Collection line and I hope Hasbro continues to release highly detailed and functional vehicles like this for the collectors market 

Just got my shipping notice 5 minutes ago

My shipping notice just came tonight as well...  Glad I got my order in early enough
This should be a fun vehicle based on what Jesse and Jeff are saying. I’m looking forward to loading it up!

The new Imperial Troop Transport looks really cool and is something I definitely plan to add to my collection 

However, I’m a tad confused.  I got an email on Tuesday from Entertainment Earth showing the vehicle as in stock and placed an order through the website.  The order has since had a status of “processing”.  The EE site now shows the vehicle as a preorder item, like Matt Fury just noted. Every other retailer, by contrast, seems to be showing the transport for a March release.

Did EE act too soon regarding the in-stock status of the item or was I too late and the initial batch sold out?  Did anyone else successfully order one of these from EE? While I was hoping to have the item in hand in short order, it is really no big deal and I can wait.  It just seemed a little odd for it to have been in stock only then to not be...

So, do we all just burn down society if baby Yoda is dead or in serious peril at the end of season 8? It seems only fair.

That sounds like something worth rioting about!

Mine came on Saturday...  It sure is a beefy action figure!
