Galactic Heroes Slave 1

I like that they were able to get it shrunk down to fit the GH Battle Pack sizing, it's not like there's a ton of play value for Slave I to lose by doing so. That said, I hope it does SOMETHING, the Vader's TIE was a letdown because it didn't do anything.

I have to say that I am pretty excited about this ship. I am collecting (mostly) just the OT in the GH line and this will look pretty neat next to my GH Millenium Falcon and X Wings.

The Wings fall off of my sons, that counts as something!:thumbsup:

[JediTricks]

I definitely want to put the Slave I next to the Millennium Falcon, that's really the best reason to get one.


The wings fall off your Vader TIE? That's unusual, is he pulling them pretty hard? They seemed fairly solid on mine.

Slave I and a new Boba Fett=instant win for me.

Look forward to getting this one.

GH is the best thing going for SW these days. i'll be picking up one of these

I'm not sure, it seems to have a tight joint when I put them back on, but the next time I see it, they are off again.

The wings kept falling off my son's TIE fighter as well. I finally got so tired of it I super-glued them on. It was not something I wanted to do, but everytime they fell off he would freak out and I'd snap them back on only to have the whole situation repeat itself over and over again.
I think its the kind of thing where the wings start out really tight, but once they fall off (due to a crash landing down the stairs in my case) they never stay on right again.

I agree with Darth Jax... I get more excieted for the Galactic Heroes line than anything else.

[JediTricks]

Weird that they fall off again, it is a tight joint.

This looks cool, but I'm still a little miffed that they postponed the GH AT-AT.

[sonofsokol]

I would buy multiple AT-AT packs, but most likely only one Slave 1. I can just see the battle on my ktchen floor now with 5 or 6 AT-ATs attacking a Hoth Playset. (No, I have not heard any rumors regarding a Hoth playset... I am just daydreaming here... sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.)

They really need to get that AT-AT into production especially since they just did the snow speeder, it just makes sense.

My 5 year old would lose his mind if the wings didn't pop off easily....

Otherwise, how could an X-Wing or the Falcon blow the wings off?

To some this is a design flaw...to others this is an 'action feature.'

[sonofsokol]

I never thought of it that way... hopefully he won't either or I am screwed.

As for multiple Slave 1's.....

Don't forget that there's 2 different paint jobs (Jango's and Boba's), and since we all know how much Hasbro loves repaints.....

[sonofsokol]

If they release the Slave 1 with a new paint job, I hope they would include something else new and cool, or at least make it so Jango's head pops off or something.

But what I'm saying about the AT-AT is that I'd buy multiple sets now, no need to do repaints or anything. If I walked into a store and saw 3 AT-ATs I'd buy all three, but if they had 3 Slave 1s, I'd leave the store with one.

As Michael Scott would say, it's a win-win-win. A win for me, a win for Hasbro, and a win for the store.

I'm not sure if my house could handle multiple AT-ATs (I guess it depends on how big they really are)... Especially since multiple AT-Ats would necessitate multiple Snowspeeders...

The line between whether these are for me or my son(s) is a fine one....:grin:

I plan on getting 1 for me and my wife (who loves these little guys as much as I do...) and 1 for my nephews.

According to my wife, that fine line was reported missing months ago.

[Darth Jax]

course will hasbro be smart enough to re-release a snowspeeder when the AT AT finally comes out.

even if they repaint slave 1 i doubt i'll get more than one

This looks cool, but I'm still a little miffed that they postponed the GH AT-AT.Unfortunately, I think retailers didn't get on board enough to make it happen, they don't believe in it yet.
