yes the doors can fully close but not while the gun turrets are attached (new gunship only). Sucks i know,but like others have said i have the old one and i am happy.

i remember paying 25 bucks for my gunship....ARE THEY FRACKIN' SERIOUS ABOUT 70 BUCKS?!!! HOW MUCH CRACK DOES HASBRO SMOKE ON A DAILY BASIS?!!! And do they plan on giving any to us cause i think the ONLY WAY people will accept these ludicrous prices is if we are all stoned!!!

more detail equals higher costs I suppose....

Should I love you or hate you for putting my obsession for toys from my youth into perspective? ;-)

toy prices are insane right now...don't buy anything for retail...wait for a sale or clearance.

i could get it if everything was totally new like the Y-wing, but the ARC-170 (afaik) is the exact same mold for almost double the cost of the last full retail release and there doesn't appear to be THAT much new on the Gunship to justify almost 3x what it cost 8 years ago.

I don't think i'm being unrealistic, i can understand, say a deluxe Transformer going from $10 to $13. but when price increases get close to 2x for a repaint i can't not raise my eyebrows.

pass, 70 dollars is way too much. they also have the tie interceptor with "new" cockpit for 50. another overpriced exclusive.

tru stinks at clearance but i dont mind waiting 2 yrs till they finally drop it down in price.

I can see your argument regarding the ARC 170. I'll cut Hasbro some slack given the new Gunship is a completely different mold.
