Dear Hasbro,

Why is the Crumb Bomber worth twice the list price of the original gunship?  If you'd get the price down to a more reasonable level, I'd buy up several rather than the ONE I figure on buying at the new price-point.

I agree with Pat,  the price tag, to me is insane. I fear in the next few years we will have basic vehicles ringing up at $35.00 and all other large scales at a minimum of $100 plus.  I like the ship but just This last go around the Walmart gunships were clearanced out locally so for me to go and hunt this one, just isn't going to happen, the new features are nice but not worth the extra money.

 I like the photos and I like the extra features but the price is the deal breaker for me.

I just read that from Nov1-26th, tru is supposed to offer $20 off the crumb bomber's price. $50 is still high but more affordable anyway.

I haven't found any clone cash.  It would be cool to, as it would save money on some of the big stuff.

 I would buy one for $50  so I may have to look out for one and find some more clone cash to even further justify the purchase.

The crumb bomber logo is great but, it is just a repaint of all the others ( who didn't know that).

I got mine when they were on sale for $50.00.  I did some comparing and the gun barrels will fit the other gunships and the AT-TE, I bought my son an AT-TE at a second hand store for $20.00 and it was missing the gun barrels so I took the extra barrels off of the gunship and put them on the AT-TE for him.  He was pretty excited.  That is one thing I like about the gun ship is that instead of bombs you have an abundance of barrels so you don't have to worry about loosing one and being screwed.  It sucks having the canopy smoked so you can't see the pilots.  I have the smaller gun turrets mounted on gunship and when you close the doors you just rotate them to the inside.  Takes up the room that you could have extra troopers though.

I never was able to get one.  :(  I got a Lucky Lekku and a rancor-mouth and really wanted to get one of these.  Drat.
