I own that Rebel Transport Kit and it is fantastic.

These are such great offerings.

Hasbro never ever seems to get around to these.

TIE Crawler conversion kit now available.  Turn your TIE fighter into a crawler!  Simply pop off wing the snap in the treads. Features side cannons and slide open doors to deploy troops or hold cargo. On the inside of the tread bodies there are two slotted pieces. My idea is to make "add on" modules so people can adapt the crawler for different tasks by simply sliding in different modules. Anything from a dump truck bed, troop transportation, a gunner station, etc.  Any ideas would be welcome. FYI, I used the TVC cockpit. The mechanics of most TIE molds are pretty much the same so the treads should work for any with the pop off wings. However, some modification may be necessary. Even with this one, the one side attaches nicely, but the other doesn't like to stay on near as well.

Hey this is beyond awesome Raylen! I better start saving some money for all your cool vehicle kits! I mean Kyle Kartan's starship! How cool is that? I remember when Hasbro generated such an excitement in me. That was 14 years ago...

I am beginning to think we just  need to have Raylen handle SDCC and do his own reveals.

Wow, was this ever a challenge. Months of design, development, and prototyping. $400 worth of molds. $200+ in master parts. My biggest and heaviest vehicle kit thus far. Approximately 26" tall with wings deployed and 14" wide. Weighs in at around 5 lbs.

- Canopy includes clear plastic windows and is removable for one standing pilot inside.
- Removable roof panel allows access to rear passenger seat.
- Wings pivot open and closed and held in place with internal spring mechanisms.
- Cannons can sweep about 45 degrees (depending how you attach them)
- Includes stand configurable to sit low or high depending whether wings are open or closed.
- There is room to hold a battery inside if you want to add LEDs (you can see I added some to mine in the video)

Introducing my first all original vehicle kit. Simply called "starfighter", this small compact ship performs well in both space and atmosphere. Great for when you want a squadron but have limited space. Get the kit here http://www.holeinthegroundpro.com/dioramas.html

Nice! Didn't know this design before, but it reminds me of a spacecraft I built with LEGO bricks as a kid. It fits nicely into the Star Wars universe.

LOL  That's crazy. I built a completely custom spaceship outta Legos back in the late 1990s and this design was very very loosely based on it!  Although the lego one was not much smaller, that was a two seater. Obviously the mini fig shape doesn't require the same type of space to fit them. It would be like cutting the figure off at the knees.

I really like that design a lot. It totally works as a "generic" starfighter and could easily fit into a pirate fleet or planetary defense force.

PS - I love the blue police box!
