Fit For Natalie Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Just got back from Toys'r'us and bought an exclusive B-Wing. I have never had one of these before. Can someone give me the scoop on it before I open it? Too bad nobody replied. I myself wasn't aware that this topic was still active How do you like it? I bought the previous reissue of the B-Wing 8 or so years ago. Edited January 3, 2009 by Fit For Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stram8777 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Too bad nobody replied. I myself wasn't aware that this topic was still active How do you like it? I bought the previous reissue of the B-Wing 8 or so years ago. I love it. The pilot figure is pretty well detailed and fairly poseable, but the b-wing is everything I imagined it would be growing up. A couople neat things about it are the fact that you can twist and engine to open the wings, gimicky but it made me happy. I also like the wing tip weapons. it comes with a set of missl elaunchers that fire small projectiles. The other interesting thing is that the cockpit is weighted so that it stays properly oriented if you turn the b-wing. To be clear what I mean is if you deploy the wings and the b-wing switches from flying horizontally to vertically like in ROTJ, the pilot stays upright. Very cool. I reccomend this toy. Only problem I have with the b-wing is i can't for the life of me figure out how it resembles a 'b'. I see it in the x-wing, y-wing, and somewhat in the a-wing, but the b-wing I am guess I am just missing it. If someone could point that out to me I would appreciate it.

Chronocidal Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Huh.. I always just thought it was a problem with miscommunication, and someone misheard "T-Wing" as "B-Wing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hey, is that the Obi Wan from the Falcon passengers set? I don't believe so, although I don't own the Falcon set. It is an upcoming release as a regular figure for Wave 1 2009. Should be on shelves on 1/15. Here is a pic of the upcoming figures. I'm looking forward to Han, Luke, Obi-wan, Space Trooper, and the Jawa. The build-a-driods look cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi G-man i bought one for my kid (X mas) and the legs DO fall easily.... way too easy. It is a poorly designed toy IMO, and considering the price tag it is a huge let down if not a straight rip off. Anyways I did fix the problem, I can post some pics later if you want... it looks diffcult to do but if you have the tools it is actally pretty easy. After the legs stay in place, the toy is truly amazing. quote name='Graham' date='Dec 1 2008, 08:59 PM' post='686711'] Was considering getting the big AT TE, but I've been reading online about how the legs fall off too easily. Anyboday have it and have this problem. Graham Hi Sebastian, I didn't buy him the AT TE in the end. I got him the Rebuplic Gunship instead and about 12 different Clone Trooper figures.

sharky Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I noticed around my area we have had a large restocking at the Walmarts. I've never seen so many Commander Faie figures in one store. At least 2 stores had around 5 or 6 of them on the shelves. I remember only being able to find 1 at any given time. It's interesting because some stores seem to be totally wiped out of Star Wars figures while others seem to be fully stocked and figures literally falling of the pegs.

sharky Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) From what I can tell the Obi-wan in the Falcon Battle pack appears to be this one. Which is from the Vintage Original Trilogy Collection. I'm not sure if the cloak that originally came with this figure is included in the Falcon battle pack. I tried looking to see where the Luke came from, but I can't seem to determine which version it is. Perhaps it's a kit bash from previous figures.

BoBe-Patt Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I don't know if anybody posted about it yet, but I ran across the 18" Star Wars Quarter Scale series Darth Maul on saturday at target. 79.99 was what it was priced at! That thing it pretty friggin huge! I didn't think they would make star war figures that big! Anybody gonna buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a link for it at RebelScum, it is higly articulated, looks pretty neat, and for the size, not bad for the price. These are sculpted by Art Asylum, and I like their toys. I might pick up an Anakin, maybe a ANH Vader if they make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) whoops I meant TRU. I always think target because they always get better exclusives. That makes sense because Art Asylum/Diamond Select toys has a deal now with TRU to sell their products. I noticed TRU has a cool Enterprise toy from the original series as well. Also an Art Asylum/Diamond Select toy. http://www.diamondselecttoys.com http://www.artasylum.com Edited January 8, 2009 by sharky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Here's a link which shows the next Wave for The Clone Wars figures. I was wondering when they would release a clone trooper with that bad a$$ gun. If you recall the episode entitled "Rookies" at one point during the show a clone trooper pulls out a huge gun in an attempt to hold off the attack. Now all I need are those cool battle droids from that episode as well. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Whats...Wars_120200.asp Edited January 8, 2009 by sharky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was coming in an upcoming wave, just wanted to see if anyone had a confirmation or some pictures. Still waiting for someone to give some love to the proper non-egg cockpit TIE Avenger. I mean, the TIE Defender is cool and all, but the Avenger was always my favorite in TIE Fighter. That and the Missile Boat... Nothing like raining space bomb destruction on your nearest super Calamari Cruiser.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Love the Avenger, the only Tie (besides the bulky Tie Bomber) i regard as cool. Might even get one msyelf if it comes local... When i played as an Empire pilot, the Avenger was always my first choice. Hated Darth's custom epi 4.

I don't know why but I love the TIE Bomber too But yeah, the Avenger is so cool. Much cooler than Darth's TIE Advanced X1 (which is the early predecessor of the Avenger). It just looks so elegant. I like the Defender because it's crazy deadly, but it looks rather cumbersome compared to the elegant "Super Interceptor" look of the Avenger. I spent WAY too much time playing TIE Fighter as a young'n. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Whoa...the TIE Avenger looks cool! Thanks for posting that, I've never seen it. I like the Interceptor the best, followed by the Bomber. The Defender looks weird, though I'll admit I like it better than the one in the Legacy comics, forgot what that was called. Surprisingly enough, I'm not a big fan of the regular TIE fighter. Looks too plain to me. BTW guys, NEW prototypes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I did a quick search of the Avenger and found this. The modeler claims that this is called the Tie Avenger, tho' IMHO, his version is way cooler. Actually, I think this is the best Tie I've ever seen along with the Interceptor.

I heard it was coming in an upcoming wave, just wanted to see if anyone had a confirmation or some pictures. Just to be sure, you're talking about the tri-solar panel one? If so, it's been out. I picked one up late last year. I can post picks tomorrow as I'm about to go to sleep at the moment. The interesting thing about this Titanium is that it came with a special stand that attaches to the rear of the vehicle rather than the bottom.

Vostok 7 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) oi, maybe i meant to say that i love the Intercepter... now that Avenger is another shown as another type above. Nope, sorry, that's not an Avenger, just one that guy came up with. The Avenger I posted, the first image is from the Star Wars website (originally it was seen on the Star Wars CCG card for the Avenger, the Avenger first appeared in this form in the original TIE Fighter video game), the second image is from one of the later video games (X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter or X-Wing Alliance). That's the established design for the "TIE Advanced/Avenger", though I prefer the first design over the second one I posted which has the "squashed" cockpit. Here's the Wookiepedia (canon) entry: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/ad_starfighter And the Starwars.com (meaning: Official) entry: http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/...nger/index.html The one LSB posted reminds me of a cross between the TIE Raptor (non Imperial design, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/rpt_starfighter) and the Nssis-class Clawcraft used by the Chiss (Thrawn's race) (Also a non-Imperial design, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/rpt_starfighter), but it's definitely a non-canon creation. Edit: It's also similar to the TIE Hunter which WAS an Imperial TIE. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Hunter Vostok 7 Edited January 13, 2009 by Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
