Topic: POTF Ships

[Reconsgt]

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.

X-Wing Fighter
X-Wing Fighter (Power FX)
Y-Wing Fighter

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.

[Tamer]

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
