Got this at Wal-Mart, today at the raised again price of $24.95
I have been looking forward to this release and was not dissappointed at all!
First and foremost, the box art rocks! This is a package that would make Tamer proud.
Ship is scaled correctly with figures and features three retractable landing gear, has an opening canopy with a detailed cockpit with room for either version of the Magnaguard, opening storage compartments on either wing with a slot for the magnaguard's electro staff, twin firing missiles with some decent velocity,and multi position aft thrusters.
Paint and details are spot-on and assembly of this sturdy vehicle only took two steps. Attaching the rear thrusters and arming the missle launchers.
I am very happy with this one and feel that Hasbro has raised the bar like with the scramble on Yavin BP that I reviewed last month.
Good Job Hasbro! If all of the new vehicles are to be this well thought out, I can't wait to see what the new atst will turn out like!
Last month, some packaging pics were released where a cardboard backdrop was mentioned on the front of the box. I guess that idea got tossed. To bad, I was curious to see what it was going to look like.

what is the other one? I'm still wanting an interceptor(thats how far behind I am).
I finally get it, magnaguard, grievous' guys, i always thought it was magma guard, just figured it was some ROTS figure I had no idea about.
This makes sense.

TY Rodger! This one could use one of your shelf hangars.
-
I was thinking the same thing too Clint. Couldn't you see Rodger making a droid hanger shelf?
-
Oh yeah, buddy. A couple of vulture droids, some control panels, and some droid minions is all it would take. With Rodger's awsome wood work and some of those cool ladders, of course.
-
...chains Rodger up in the woodshop...
My minions will bring you food, drink, and raw materials as needed...
;D

LOL! Poor Rodger.
-
At least I have cute minions who are usually chipper. In fact, the worse your condition, the more chipper they are! Which means...yeah...poor Rodger!!!
:o

This is the ship I have given to my most recent custom figure, Guri from Shadows of the Empire. Mainly just a re-paint of the comic-pack Leia that came with Xizor, but I think this ship fits her nicely, since I doubt Hasbro will ever release Stinger, lol. Hopefully I'll have pics of her up soon, can't wait to see what you guys think!
-
xisorsvirago, I had an idea for a stinger custom a while back using something and for the life of me I can't remember what it was that I was going to use to make it.... I think it *MIGHT* have been that titan ae ship.
anyways... I want one of these magnagaurd fighters something fierce.... Especially after I saw a titanium version of it which had details on the back explaining that the ship was given to cad bane as payment for his services to the sepratists. It had a customized paint job and apperently added features. I have been wanting to do a cad bane figure custom since I saw the first pics released of him and other's customs of him. Getting a ship to customize for him that is actually CANNON would be awesome...
-
You should totally think harder and make that stinger! I personally like her in the Magnaguard fighter just because it's small, and still kind of feminine in shape (in my opinion), like stinger was described... stinger would be pretty big, wouldn't it? From the pics I've seen, I would think it would have to be BMF sized to be in scale! The Mangaguard fighter is pretty awesome though, you should definitely pick it up if you get a chance... definitely my favorite ship right now.
-
this is that magnagaurd repaint for cad bane I was talking about:

Man, considering how awesome Cad Bane is, that magnaguard paint job kinda makes me sad. It's like Jackson Pollock and George Lucas got drunk one night, and this was the hangover they found in the morning.
-
Lucas is just lazy.
SW is a cash cow.
-
xv, I agree with you there. It does look pretty rediculous. I'm waiting to see if they have it in the actual series and see if it looks like that before I do my own. I may have to come up with a better paint job and just create my own version.
-
Definitely come up with your own, that way you can avoid that mysterious white stain of a logo on the titanium figure... apparently this ship belongs to Ron Jeremy.... eeeewwww. :D
