Topic: Vintage 2010 Regular Vehicles

I will have both of these. I am hearing rumors that we may see some special boxed versions of two vehicles and these may be it. I would assume these will probably be store specific.

[Phatty]

Yup, I'll DEFINITELY pick up the Twin Pod Cloud Car, and there's a good chance I'll get the Snowspeeder too!

[Goldleaderone]

Gotta love how these things unfold. First a Snowspeeder Luke, then a new Dak figure, now a new Snowspeeder! Definitely getting the snowspeeder, as well as the figures for it.

Anyone notice that the snowspeeder's colors have the gray markings that Luke's snowspeeder had, as opposed to the regular red markings we see? Glad to see Hasbro got that detail right.  

[Reconsgt]

I'll buy both, if they do turn up in vintage packaging I will get those as well but they better be better than the window boxed style they released the previous OTC vintage Xwing, Tie, and Slave 1 in

I posted this in another thread but it's probably more appropriate here now.

Quoted from jeditemplearchives.com concerning the new snowspeeder:

"LUKE SKYWALKER'S SNOWSPEEDER - In stores Aug. '10
The new snowspeeder was first announced in a September 2008 Q&A session with JTA , and the staff here has been eagerly awaiting it ever since. This new version is scaled much more like the vehicle in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, which interestingly enough is actually SMALLER than the vintage toy that has been the basis for several modern era reissues. The new mold also features projectile firing cannons, stabilizer flaps and two interchangeable harpoon guns. One harpoon gun is movie accurate and the other features a firing tow cable for play with your AT-AT walker. "

What an interesting detail for Hasbro to make two harpoon guns for the Snowspeeder. Nice attention to detail there.

Maybe the snowspeeder, but the cloud car is a design I have hated since I was a child. 

[RedLeaderOne (00fire501)]

I reckon the snowspeeder for me.

[Clonehead]

Here are some shots I found on rebelscum of the snowspeeder and the twin pod cloud car.

[spudafett]

doesn't the cloud car also split into two individual vehicles?  Im assumeing that feature is a testament to mc-quarie's concepts of the cloud car which originally were only one "pod" and then reworked into the design of the "combat cloud car"

btw:

I spy a TCW snow-rex...

high rez



I will have both of these as I don't have a cloud car yet, but that snowspeeder is definitely improved.

[Clonehead]

I notice that in that high rez shot that the snowspeeder is wearing the alternate screen accurate tow cable gun.

Spud, here is a shot of the cloud car split up that I found at jedinews.co.uk

[jediwolf69]

I can't wait to get this both, As I'v never had on before, It is me or is the snowspeeder's cockpit still to small? I remember playing with a friend of mine back in the day, he had one. And we had all kinds of trouble getting figures in the backseat. I hope they fixed that. I love the cloud car.

[Clonehead]

It looks to me like the seat is set further forward, this time, allowing more room to get a figure in the back gunner's position.

 i wonder why i got out of vehicles but this could get me back in!
