Anyone think we'll be getting this as part of the Clone Wars line from Hasbro?
(http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/prod/7669-0000-xx-13-1.jpg)
At first glance it looks like a Delta-7 and perhaps it started off as one, but it has been modified to at least move the spot for the astromech droid to the center and it looks like instead of a built-in droid, it's a droid socket for R2.
I took a look at the trailer again and I didn't see ANYTHING like this ship in that.
So while this is a neat looking variation on the Jedi Starfighter, I hope that this is just a Lego creation and Hasbro focuses on giving us things like the V-19 Torrent Starfighter, the Homing Spider Droid, or the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid.
-
A lot goes into what the cartoon delivers... Part of me digs the Delta's evolution to the Eta, and what might seemingly have been an influence Anakin had directly through modifying his own Delta? That's a neat possibility, but at the same time it's sort of traversing vehicle territory I'm not THAT interested in... Like you, I'd prefer seeing the radically unique V-19's, or the Snail Tank Droid... Much better items I would enjoy from Clone Wars.
V-19's supposedly on the way... This CW fighter from Lego's just a neat possible evolutionary step, and one I'm kind of on the fence about is all. I mean, I've kind of come to accept that Ani's CW fighter is the one we saw in the original cartoons... Maybe this was his second CW ship, which leads to the Eta's design, and so forth... I dunno. Neat, and yet not neat at the same time, if it could possibly usurp a cooler toy/vehicle being made.
-
I wouldn't be against getting an action figure-compatible version of this ship (as long as it's in the cartoon), but the whole continuity issue between the original CW cartoon and the new one is starting to give me a headache. Not to go all "NERD RAGE EXPLOSION OMG" or anything (I swear I have known the touch of a woman), but given that Anakin *just* becomes a Jedi Knight when Padme "gives" him R2-D2, and within seconds gets into the ETA Interceptor to fly back to the war, I'm wondering when and where he uses this ship in the overall continuity. If it's a missing link of sorts between the Delta-7 and the ETA (and is used after the modified Delta-7 is destroyed), then is LFL just disregarding the continuity of the old CW cartoon entirely and wiping the slate clean?

Whenever I think of Anakin's Clone Wars Starfighter, I think of this monstrosity (http://www.rebelscum.com/CWanakinfighter.asp). ::)
I'd rather see Hasbro take a stab at that LEGO one than re-releasre this crazy ship again...

I dunno - I liked that design. It made sense in terms of modifications to an existing Delta-7 that you could see Anakin actually making.

I too, like the CW version of Anakin's fighter. If you look at the Lego one you can even see some similarities between them. Maybe it's a before version even.

I hadn't seen photos of this (although with dial-up and net congestion, photos everywhere involving Toy Fair are loading slower than **** the last 24 hours), but is Hasbro going to be doing Anakin's JSF for the CW line? I can't believe they'd miss a chance to
beat the Jedi Starfighter horse some more include this ship in the line?
-
Not at launch, but they said "eventually" you'll "probably" see this in the $20 line.
They just figured they'd go with more "wide appeal" things to start (V-19 and Spider Droid).

Actually given the deco, I'd say the LEGO yellow one, is the one AFTER the modified blue with white sunrays one, as the yellow deco more closely matches the yellow deco of the ROTS Jedi Starfighter.
-
Yeah - I think this Yellow JSF is yet another modified Delta 7 only this time, Anakin has modified it so the Astromech is a socketed feature as opposed to a built-in droid. This way, he can have R2 (as gifted to him by his wife) join him. Plus, as Sal points out, the colors are in line with his ROTS starfighter.
Good to hear that they will eventually make one. Only problem now is that the Anakin they've made for the series doesn't exactly look poseable enough to sit in the cockpit.
-
I hope they do not make another Anakin starfighter, he has plenty. I would rather see some fresh blood for ships. We need more expansion in the Droid arsenal to combat all this Jedi/Clone gear.
We need some more OT love in the vehicle department, PT is getting all the love in the vehicle tooling budget!
-

I agree. I realize the push for PT stuff since there is the big Clone Wars splash coming up, and the fact that we've seen most to all of the OT ships at some point - but it would be nice to see some more OT releases or even re-dos. They have been few and far between lately, although it sounds like we'll get some exclusives this year. In the regular $20 line though, its basically been the TIE or Vader's TIE Advanced. Hopefully when they get around to the Snowspeeder resculpt (smaller) that they've talked about, it will be in this line. I wouldn't mind seeing a re-release of the Skiff in this line as well.
-
My Cloud Car Pilots and Firespeeder Pilots are getting lonely. :'(
EDIT: Wait...Firespeeder isn't OT. Never mind. :-X
-
Han and Chewie want a Falcon that's the right size.

So does Lando. It was his ship first. ;)
-
And what about some obscure vehicles:
Lars landspeeder (can also be repainted to look like the yellowish one in Mos Eisley)
Yavin base hangar transport.
Hoth Hangar transport.
-
I would love to see the Rebel Troop Transport released as a HTS exclusive. I use the old one as a clone army Transport. a spiffy new paint job and interior graphics would do wonders for that puppy.
Also while they are at it a new AT-ST would be nice. I still do not get why people want to see the Snowspeeder re-tooled. I am 100% happy with the existing one. The AT-ST seriously needs an update. It's the one old tool that just cannot hang anymore.
-
Yeah.
-
Right on.
I hope you get around to replying to all of the posts on page 2 because your insight is intriguing.

I was bored. Sorry. :-[
No one has been posting for awhile.

Like Hasbro said at Toy Fair 2008, it was only a matter of time...
Anakin's Delta-2 Jedi Starfighter (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/aff-home.asp?id=HA-807301583&number=HS89317)

Quite the nice looking toy. I don't have the first edition, but I might pick this up. Seems like a ways off for a repaint, especially since the last one came out last year. It's nice that this one will actually have a droid for the socket.
-
I'll nab one most likely. It is indeed a nice ship/toy.
-
Yay! I can't wait to rebuy all the Jedi Starfighters again in new assorted flavors.....and I still want rings for all of them too, dammit. I'd pay $21.99 a pop if Hasbro could work them into this assortment instead of the exclusive ship w/ring route which I won't go down.
Anywho....
-
Pretty. I still haven't gotten around to buying the first version but I still want to and if I buy it and like it I'll buy this one too.
-
It does look pretty nice. I'm going to do my best not to get too crazy with the repainted ships, but I might pick up Anakin's at least. I have the Obi-Wan fighter, and it was one of my favorite things released last year - and maybe one of my favorite vehicles of the modern line. It looks nice, and is just a good toy overall I thought.
-
I know that I am getting this one. I will have to pick up an Anakin and R2 to put in it.

I have an extra 2 pack with these figures. Interested?

I will say maybe for right now. I have spent too much money in February between what is being shipped to me presently, and what I have to pick up from everyone here in MN at the end of the month.
-
I saw this vehicle in person (at least the packaging) at a local Target today. I like this version as well as Obi-Wan's which appears to be a straight repaint. The feature of the vehicle splitting into 2 vehicles seems cool. I'll eventually pick both of these up.
-
Thanks for the heads up KM. Time to keep an eye out for yet more $20(ish) vehicles.
I liked the Kenobi fighter a lot, and so I'll nab Anakin's, but I'm out for any repaints on this one I think. The repaint-a-rama is getting too costly, especially where Prequal stuff is concerned. It costs in space and money, at this point.
-
Like Jesse, I'm likely in for the Anakin version as well - but probably not any others. The Obi-Wan Delta 2 is one of my favorite vehicles of the line I think, and just a fun toy as well. I'd be tempted to get some of the other Jedi (which you just know are coming), but I started buying into the repaints of the ROTS fighter - and now I can't seem to unload them anywhere. I guess if they ever showed Yoda having a fighter on the series, and made the toy, I might be tempted to grab that - but otherwise I'll probably try to stay away. I almost wish the fighters in AOTC had looked more like this though, with the full removable astro droid.
-
I am pssing on this version in anticipation of the upcoming release of Ahsoka's fighter. I like her paint scheme, and I'd also like to eventually get her droid, R7, to go with it. Though Hasbro has stated they have no plans to make her astromech. Really, how hard would it for them to do a 2-pack of Ahsoka and R7-A7 to release at the same time they release her starfighter? They're just a repack and a straight repaint! Idiots!
-
I have to pass ships up at some point. I passed up Obi's JSF in this mold, I'll easily pass on Ani's in this mold as well.
I really want the TX-130 Saber Tank though, that is part of this wave. At least two!
-
So we think the TX 130 Tank is out in stores too then?

Yes, it is.

Cool. That's the one I want.
-

Yeah, it's in the same case as the Delta2 fighter. In fact the case break down as this:
1 Ani JSF (Delta 2 fighter w/gray and yellow deco)
1 Obi JSF (Delta 2 fighter w/red and white deco)
1 Droid Starfighter
1 TX-130 Tank
1 V-19
