I have 2 of the fighters and I enjoy them but I don't like the new price point. It seems a bit to high.

Have to agree w/ sam, I really like these but for a new paint job thats just to high. I kinda wait on things anyway until the price goes down: BMF= 50.00, arc-170 clonewars =25.00x2, and I finally bought the pit from target on sale for 72.00+free shipping. It just seems that 100.00 just doesnt go as far as it did with these lines anymore. Yeah ,I sound old now!lol!-mark

its way overpriced. more than double from 2005, it was 30 bucks at target, now its 65 to 80 depending on the store. some fancy paint ain't justification for the price. its a cool jet and large too but really way too expensive. just get either one of the older ones for a fraction of the price.
i have both of the older releases both were 30 bucks. |

If they had packaged an exclusive clone trooper, they would likely be selling - or at least, been selling better. Those SW collectors love them some clone trooper.

I got the blue tiger striped one to go with my gun ship. They look good as a matching set. I got it new at target for around 35-40 and that was the base price. It's nice at that price anything else is just getting silly. After all it had no crew and no lights and sounds just like the gunship. Bare bones vehicle. The gunship I got after market and I'm just feeling happy that I got it for under 100 but still paid to much for that piece of plastic. A very cool piece of plastic mind you.

Bought my ROTS Arc-170 and Republic Gunship for $29.99 a pop back in the day. Seems like a lifetime ago but it was less then five years. My how times change. Think I paid $30 for the R.O.C.C. too.

I have the ROTS one and I think it was $40.
This has been a subject of debate (the overpricing of this) on the SW message boards. The other one in this mold had the "space whale" motif of the Clone Wars Gunship a few years back. I remember Target clearancing them. SW repaint I want: A black Imperial Shuttle I can put COBRA stickers on! |

This vehicle is certainly not worth the requested price. I have three in the previous incarnations and they were all priced at half this. I dont understand how anyone would think this vehicle is worth that. If it came with three figures and electronics it would be worth it, but the thing doesnt add up in my book.

I've seen the "Shadow" fighter at my local Target...
I got the Toys R Us Exclusive that came out last year, only one I really like anyway....I'd get that one only if it went to deep discounted clearance. |

Which version of the ARC-170 fighter is everyone talking about?
The movie version, or the Clone Wars version? Sorry, I haven't caught up on Star Wars stuff for a while.
