This looks pretty cool, too! I wonder how many the cockpit seats? 1 or 2?
Will they re-release the AOTC trooper pilot figures?

1 figure, and BARELY that it appears:

This thing looked super boring in Steve's shot of their display, at first I thought it was an unfinished prototype:

And it appears the wings go no lower than that, judging by the Hasbro photography (you can see a block on the wing's gutter just barely peeking out)
It really is lackluster and perhaps underscaled. On the Lego thread, I said that I'd probably get Hasbro's V-19 over Lego's but it'll probably be the other way around now.
The LEGO versions' wings are geared to move together, but the set is likely $40. Still, it is more to scale than this Hasbro $20 version. Maybe Hasbro will get it more exciting in time for its release, but I suspect this is kinda it.
Why would they bother to make the ship and then make it so you can't deploy the wings correctly?
It doesn't make sense. I believe they just didn't know how to display it correctly - or they did it purposely wrong for some reason someone "intellectualized."
If that's as far as the wings go, then I may have to pass. I'm really a little baffled at the lack of weathering seeing as how they've loved to paint the crap out of every other vehicle they've done in the past for the most part.Quote:

Maybe the version in the new show only deploys to that range. The cockpit is a totally different shape after all. Still, it seems odd to not at least let it go to that level to pay homage, let it stop at both places.
Maybe, but I just don't like them deployed that way. Doesn't look right.Quote:

I'll admit it's not my favorite ship either, but I wouldn't mind at least one. I'll have to wait to see on this one though.
