Ofcourse my favorite is the new atat that was made in this line probably following by the electronic FX Xwing my daughter currently stole off me. I am eagerly trying to pursue acquiring a minty boxed potf slave one as that one looked good to imo. What are your favorite ships in this line?
-
Well since I don't collect ships, don't really have afavorite, but I would have to say the ATAT has a special place in my heart.
-
The ATAT is sweet I do admit!
-
I have a lot of love for many of the vehicles in this line, but it's difficult to pick a favorite. Most of the vehicles in this line used vintage molds but improved upon them immeasurably. The new paint apps. made those vintage molds look fantastic and the electronics actually had authentic sound fx for the first time. Electronics we did not see much of after this line ended until this year.
Also adding to the difficulty of picking a favorite is the fact that many of my favorites of the POTF2 vehicles have since been completely redone. Like the X-wing, TIE fighter, and Millenium Falcon.
Prior to the BMF I would probably have said the Falcon but now I will say the EFX X-wing, because it is an awesomr mold that is still used today.
The T-16 Skyhopper and Darth Vader's TIE x1 get honorable mentions from me.
-
I have not as of yet gotten one of those bigger x-wings, and am currently kicking my self because of it.
-
They are pretty awesome, even without the electronics. As a matter of fact I don't even have the EFX version. I snagged the first Dagobah version from the Saga '04 line and love it. I want to get the Red leader version and the 2006 release so I can customize a couple for Wedge and Biggs.
-
that sounds like a cool idea, obi Sean!
-
I bought a custom electronic FX Xwing that was done with Biggs and I like it. My little girl plays with this ship almost exclusively. The sounds are cool, but are starting to get a little broken now that she is playing with it. I also am thinking about super glueing the laser cannons on as mine have a tendency to drop off. Still, it is a cool ship and I do like it too. I am hoping to get a Slave I and a Outrider in this line if I can ever find em momc and they don't want a ton of money.
-
My personal fav is definately the FX X-wing! Just because I think it is the coolest and most in-scale version we got... :)
-
Hey Slider, welcome. Yes, I do like this Xwing. I want to get a boxed version eventually, as soon as I can find some space to display it. I have told myself that any new stuff will be out and displayed or I am not getting it!
-

I have to get a Power FX X wing some day.
-
To me its nice but I prefer the newer large scale, I didn't like the paint apps or the non removable figures on the electrinic X-wing, but atleast the scale was better than the original
-
I like the new large scale too, like the Degobah one, but the carded and boxed guy in me wants one of these for nostalgia's sake. This is one of the items if I am ever at a convention or see a deal on a momc one on ebay, but doubt I make a huge effort to find it.
-

-
yep a preview stap was released in preperation for the EP1 releases, here is a pic.
-
Sarge, I so happen to have one of those up for sale momc in my ebay thread, only ten smackers in superb conditon.
I still so need to get the two potf2 slave ones from this line. I want the green box and then the purple box sote slave one. Good ships those.

After reading this list I was actually a bit shocked at how many of these molds have been used lately. The Power FX X-wing became better in my opinion when they dropped all the FX gimmicks. I like taking my pilots and astromechs out of their compartments--even if I haven't actually done it in years. :)
-
I need to get a few of these after I get rid of all my other stash, namely one of those Potf FX X-Wings and the Slave One and the EU Speeder.
-
Yeah that SOTE Slave 1 was a must for me as a kid. I didn't like the colors on the vintage one or wanted to pay $$ for it. So when I herd that SOTE was re-releasing it I made my mother take me to WalMart every Tuesday (when they restocked) to get one. Like all my SW toys I never put the stickers on... But the grubby chipped paint apps made it one of my favorites. Still is... Even if its been remade to death. I just loved how Kenner retrofitted everything from the vintage molds since I've always cared more the original line anyway.
-
Saw a purple boxed one a few months ago. Wish I had had time to look at it then. I was trooping at the time and didn't get the chance to peruse it. So gonna get one though.
-
Man I keep finding POTF2 x-wings for $3 or less... I got over half a dozen now? Just need to start casting to have guns for them all. Thinking of making blue squadron. And a "kitbash" with replica vintage battle damage decals.
This line was really great man. All flaws aside it was the 2nd golden age for SW toys. The TRU late 90's / early 2000 clearances were epic. They made so much product and well constructed products as well! These days the stuff even feels cheaper than it looks.
-
Considering we went from Kenner to this line it was great. I too remember to epic clearances. I mean KB Toys sold Walkers for twenty bucks or less!
-
I agree the new AT-AT is a very cool one....but i think the AT-ST is my most favorite

The new one or the potf one?
