Some of the non TVC vehicles from the recent movies are actually ok to great looking if you put a little bit of work into them (which I don’t mind doing). The U Wing and the newer A Wing look great with a wash dirtying up the panel lines. Once you do that, they look more like models than the overly toy like state they come in. I will try to post some photos of what I did to the A, U, and Striker when I get a chance. That being said, the scale is still off on those three that I mentioned. I would have loved the U Wing to have been twice the size that I came in. |

It’s funny that you bring up the Tie Striker. I can currently putting a nice wash on mine to dirty it up and make it look more realistic. I also took took off the storage pods on the wings for the nerf darts.

I like it too because it’s an unusual TIE. I’ll take some photos of it tomorrow (it’s still a work in progress) as well as the other stuff I ‘de-toyed’ from Solo, Rogue One, and the newer trilogy. Last edited by nightrattler; 12-06-2019 at 11:27 PM.. |

I haven’t experienced that with mine yet. I do store most of my Star Wars space craft vertically for the most part due to space constraints in the toy room, so that might be saving it from warped wings.

Has anyone found any more R1 tanks at 5B? I'm 0/3 right now.

The location I went to tonight didn't have one, but it also didn't have a ten dollar section. I believe they only shipped to stores with a $10 section...... That said, my daughter went to the big five below near Disney, which does have a $10 section, and still no thank there either.

I have yet to see any tanks at my 3 stores. They all have the $10 section. Seems everyone is coming up empty besides the lucky few who scored the tanks right before Thanksgiving.

I don't think the basic line vehicles are all bad, it's more the Disney movies don't have great original designs and Hasbro doesn't even choose the best of those. I got the Ski Speeder from TLJ and it's a decent toy of a meh design. The First Order Snow Speeder is kind of cool though with some design issues. Bought both for pretty cheap and don't regret it. Wish I could've picked up the U-Wing for cheap.

That’s my plan for today. Hit up a few and see if any are available. I honestly just want the containers that come with it more than the tank itself. I like the tank, just can’t see why I would want more than one other than dio purposes. Plus that means finding more of the crew which are hard to get now...
I don’t know why, but I’m now all about finding the ‘correct’ drivers and pilots for all my star Wars vehicles. Prior to my new correct driver obsession, I would either have just whatever figure driving it or if something had an opaque canopy I would leave the cockpit empty. |
