Thanks Man! I know this is going to sound cliche, but the speeder (and Stronghold for that matter) are built "Tonka Tough". There's a hard "click" any time you move one of the jointed parts. It's a heavy/heavier piece as well (I'd say not as heavy as a DTC RHINO, but not much lighter either which is surprising for a vehicle of it's size).
To give you an idea of durability...I live in Miami, FL. I bring this up to paint the picture of most of the homes here - Old spanish style, with tiles everywhere. My floor is all tile. While attempting to re-position my bootleg light box, I dropped the Speeder on floor. NOT A DENT. The Sol Commander didn't fall out, which I was pleasantly surprised by. I can't recommend this piece enough. It gives me high hopes for their smaller mechs on the horizon. Justin, if you get a chance, check out their blog. It shows upcoming vehicles and designs. There's a smaller mech That Konigstiger noted a resemblance to above...it just looks all sorts of cool. Kind of reminds me (now) of one of the old Cobra Battlefield Robot Platforms. acid rain This may play some havoc with my JoeCon money, however... Thanks much for the review and for answering.

Stronghold is $10 more, but you get a figure with the speeder. No figure for Stronghold. :(

Placed a preorder for the Speeder, but given that it has the "Sand" designation, I wonder if a green "Marine" variation is coming down the pipe soon. Think I'd rather have that, as it'd be even closer to resembling the AWE Striker.

To help ease your mind a bit, as of this time, there's no plans on making a Marine Speeder. The way it was described to me by Oritoy is that each Mech has a specific function on the Acid Rain World and that the Speeder type Mecha doesn't really have a place in the "Marine Environment." However, it was said that if there's enough demand for it, that they'd definitely do what they can. I'm screwed if they put out a Marine Speeder, as I need at least 2 of them. =/ |
