I think the Gunship will be this one,

Wave 7

All repacks except for the Clone Wars Gunship?

I wonder if that's the space whale paintjob on a Republic Gunship.  They already did a regular Gunship.  I guess they need to repaint that one.

General Grievous' starfighter and TIE Bomber in Sept!

JI: Can you tell us what new Transformers/Star Wars sculpts we might see for this year?

Hasbro: Four all-new sculpts are planned for later this Fall. We are going to be revealing all of them (and possibly more) at Comic Con, but we'll give you a little taste of our September wave: General Grievous/Grievous Starfighter, and TIE Pilot/TIE Bomber.

I'm probably the only one collecting these things, but I found the Tie Bomber, Grievous's Starfighter, and Anakin's CW Fighter w/ring this morning at Target.

Does anyone know if the Cross-Over packaged blue Obi-Wan JSF is a straight repack from the WM Galactic Showdown JSF?  They look the kind of the same from the pics, but I'm not exactly sure.

UGH!  I'm really hating that I have to keep buying these things, but I feel compelled to because I'm a Transformers collector.  Most of them look great in vehicle modes (kinda makes up for no Action Fleet) but they look like **** when transformed.

Not looking forward to when Hasbro gets around to GI Joe vehicles either

I saw the repainted black Imperial Shuttle and Endor AT-AT Transformers at Target today.  Sigh, now there is a "shadow" imp shuttle and green splotched AT-AT.

As mentioned by an RS forum member, the AT-AT repaint does have a new head sculpt.  It has an Imperial Trooper head.

The newest Republic Gunship release has some slight modifications and repainting.  The nose art shows a Salacious Crumb like character dropping a bomb, the windows in the canopy are painted, the wing turrets are painted solid, full solid doors are included, but the side ball turrets are not.

AT-TE & V-19 pics

...err...nevermind.  Rune posed that EE linky in Nov.  Hoping I can avoid the urge to pick these up as I still haven't gotten around to opening the last wave.

I picked up the V19 Torrent/Clone Pilot and AT-TE/Captain Rex SW Transformers at a local Target this afternoon.  I had a chance this evening to "play" with them.  The V19 can be posed in flight and landing modes when in ship form which I thought was cool.  The Rex's legs come off easily (sounds like a common problem with AT-TEs ).  The leg pieces snap on at the thigh, and when they're pulled during the transformation, they just don't hold.

I like them both.  I do wish that these Crossovers came with minifigs.

Here are a couple of pics.

Nice....I guess.  I still have the last wave sitting in the back of my truck from a few months back.  I don't really care for these things too much any longer especially with the higher price point - other than the fact that they look like Action Fleet vehicles - and I'm "upset" that they don't include mini figs or the spinny thingy.

Looks like Plo Koon/starfighter and a Shock Trooper/V-Wing are up next.

[King_Maul]

Looks like some more SW Transformers are coming in the 2009 packaging.
