Masterfett steered me twards this one.
As reported by jedinews.co.uk (http://jedinews.co.uk/news/archivednews.aspx)
We are to get two new gunships with different doors. They are to be exclusives to both TRU and Walmart chains with each chain getting a different deco. The TRU one is rumored to be the Crumb bomber.
No news on when they are to obe released but I'll bet that we will find out come SDCC, this year.
Just when you thought that they wouldn't release another gunship.

Those flip-down doors are great! Guess I best start saving...
I have a buddy who wants to see one in a desert camo scheme. May have to borrow Clint's pattern from his desert troopers and carry it onto a gunship...
-
Daggone! Do I dip back into the prequels?! Must remain focused, must remain focused. Daggone it looks good though.
-
pass, are they going to start making us buy 10 versions of vehicles as well as the figures?
Come on George, ABC, alway be creating, not a better color, bleh!
-
lets face it. With the fancy bells and whistles of the doors here folks will buy it! I would if I were still in the prequel biz.

Go for it, buddy. I am anxious to see how it would turn out.
I could try to resist getting this one but I don't see how.. I always was partial to the crumb bomber, anyway.
-
finnnlly doors that fully close , something that kinda bothered me in the old gunship, my troops were to exposed
-
The Gunship is one of my most favorite Vehicles in the PT next to an AT-TE of course! So I'm happy to hear about its return I just hope I can find the Walmart one this time around since the crumb design does not interest me! I'd really like to get the Lucky Lekku that was the most interesting and cool paint app since the CW shark.
-
Sounds like I'll be saving up for a new gunship. I really like the fully closing doors. This "might" mean I can turn my current gunship into the AT-TE Carry All?
I'm not to partial to what ever paint app they do since I'll just end up customizing over it :P

I like the sounds of that AT-TE carrier, Sten! Keep us updated on that one.
-
Wonder if i could get it in Auscam..?....lol... ;D
-
Well, I was planning on dumping my current gunship, anyway(since I don't want to paint it to be coruscant guard colors, lol).

I can take it off of your hands, Simon.
-
its not complete, also, it has doors from a later release gunship(the walmart one), but I can take pictures if you want.

jedinews.co.uk (http://jedinews.co.uk/news/news.aspx?newsID=2568) has posted some pics of the painted version of that TRU exclusive Crumb Bomber for us to salivate over. She's looking pretty sharp, boys. I'm liking that side ramp/door.

How much do you think that they are going to charge for this bad boy?
-
The new features are cool but I'm going to pass on the Crumb Bomber not a fan of this particular nose art, I'm interested to see what the other one looks like though and may get that one if it appeals to me. From the pic it looks like two different versions possibly a revision of the Lucky Lekku or maybe it's the Spaceward Ho, third image in on the bottom row.
-
Cool Ship but not high on my priority list.
A clearance isle pick up if cheap enough. :D
-
nice but a pity i'm outta vehicles. still good if cheaper though....
-
Unfortunately I managed to miss every version of this vehicle when they were released.
when they were on clearance i also chose not to get them, and have regretted it each time I see one.
I really want this one, but i think it will be quite some time before i see one locally and hope to see one on clearance around christmas if at all.
i like the troop/jump door and the enclosed/space worthy cargo doors.
-
Has anyone heard anything about the Wal-mart version?
-
Awright!! I'm sure we'll be buying one or two here - I can see one in a hanger-bay dio already as part of of mine and Brendan's Battlefront Collection, with a hanger-bay full of Battle Droids as Clone Pilots and Marines boil out of it. Love those solid doors.
-
I wanted to mod one with the complete doors, but chose not too. Now I'm glad I didn't. I'll be picking this one up, I kinda wish it were slightly larger size, it may be so the new gunner tuurets can fit inside while the doors are shut.
-
I'm really hoping it is! Not exactly expecting it, tho... I'd pay for one big enough to hook to an ATTE, tho!!
-
I'm sure that it will be the same size. Only the price will be inflated. :(
-
Looking at the front page news stories and saw this and man is it gonna be hard to pass this one up. I still wish they would release one in the WWII bomber style paint jobs we saw on the previews for the new Clone Wars series. I guess my favorite one to date is the shark tooth version. I wish they would do an alive drab with the shark teeth! I saw a Coast Guard pilot ship in these grey colors with shark teeth mouth and it was a cool looking vessel while I was on vacation.
-
I think that I have seen a10 warthogs painted up like that. You should have shot us a pic of that one that you saw. I am still wondering what the walmart version of this new gunship is gonna look like. I'm sure that we will know by the time that SDCC rolls around.
-
Hoping the "Crumb" is a decal instead of paint apps. Based on the last gunship (LL) I'd be out of luck; but with the ARC-170's ridiculous wampa actually being a decal, I think there's a chance.
-
Hey B.R. Steel welcome to the Yards.
There are quite a few folks around here who are hoping that the Crumb bomber is just a decal.
-
Thanks for the warm welcome Tamer.
I reckon I'm one of many hoping for a decal instead of a paint job. I certainly like the changes they've made to the gunship but I can wait for its inevitable future release if the "Crumb" is a paint application.
To much use of familiar aliens, creatures and etc, just makes the Star Wars universe seem smaller in my opinion--and that stinks.
-
I would think they will make a "shadow" version much like the new 75 dollar Arc170 that is coming out.
-
You're probably right about a shadow version. I'm pretty much shadow-ed out though. :)

I hear you. I want love to see an olive drab version like we saw in the previews for the new Clone Wars movie, but don't konw if we ever will get one.
-
Can we get an image of that, Tamer?

You would be better at that than me my friend. It was the first teaser trailer they gave us the Clone Wars when it was just a movie and not the TV show yet.
