The Clone Wars Magnaguard Fighter
« on: June 02, 2009, 08:24:51 PM »
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.
