Just finally found one today in the wild. It is fantastic. Not perfect but a solid 9.5 out of 10. I love having a Star Wars Ships series that are all almost in scale with each other and are large enough to be impressive without overwhelming a collection space. This year still need the ATAT, A-Wing, Y-Wing and the Tie Bomber. I am amazed at the amount of product already released!! Great review as always
That's why I like the old Action Fleet ships better. Also more solidly built. I feel like these are cheaper rehashes of that line. I literally feel like I can see through the plastic wings on some of these ships.
Love it! Only negative for me is the missing shuttle pilot. I will probably use at-st pilots - closest to the pilots and you don’t see them missing in at-st.
Great point about the clicking gears to keep the wing pivots from eventually wearing out. Smart design. Great review once again, thanks for the details. Looks great and the figures too. I haven't seen this in stores yet.
I’ve gone on such a bender with this series lol. In the last week I picked up the AT-AT, Lambda, and N-1. Add that to the razor crest and the LAAT. For a former fan of the ‘90s Action fleet series this is like the coming of Christ.
Man, these things are better, and getting better than I ever thought. I don't collect much if any star wars anymore...but caved onon this line...very sorry I missed endor at-at
This one is just great. Regarding scales, well is very complicated.even with given sizes when you compare the filming models to the actors ,they dont work. Even less one against the other.i think the size is perfect for what it is
Just once I'd like to see an Imperial shuttle that actually allows the figures to use the boarding ramp. The full sized version for the 3.75" is just as bad. Other than that one gripe, I still love this ship and I'm thrilled it is being released as part of the MGS series.
Thanks for the early review. As always, straight and detailed. This one blows the 3.75" version out of the water. I hope Amazon pushes the PO ahead of schedule.
@11:30 "Obviously these should be significantly smaller than the Imperial Shuttle...." According to Rebel Scale, the X-Wing is actually spot-on: 1:60 scale = TIE Advanced x1 1:97 scale = X-wing 1:101 scale = Lambda-class Shuttle 1:136 = Millennium Falcon
Great vid Nostalgicadam! I got lucky and snagged a Shuttle pre-order from Amazon. Wow this version blows the Action fleet Imperial Shuttle out of the water. I am so excited to find the Y-wing sometime as well soon here in the midwest.
I picked up an N-1 starfighter at my target in the central valley Ca, I didn't know it was a new release as I'm just getting into this line. Im excited for that U wing from Rogue One. I love how much detail they put into these ships for the scale and price point but they really need to include stands or sell a pack of stands.
Picked up an AT-AT and Imperial Shuttle at a Walmart in central NY. They had five AT-ATs and one shuttle on the shelf (alongside a few series one leftovers).
Great video mate, it looks good. Please Hasbro release a new version of the imperial shuttle for the Vintage Collection! Wish the Haslab had been the Imperial Shuttle rather than the Ghost!
Not to be too nitpicky, BUT... technically, Palpatine's shuttle had a gray stripe on the nose. This one doesn't, yet it comes with Palp's and his Royal Guard. This is the stolen Shuttle Tydirium, so it should have come with Luke, Han, Leia in Endor attire and Chewie, R2 and 3PO.
Let's goooo!!! This imperial Shuttle looks awesome! Cant wait to find mine. Thank you for the review, didn't know about the palpatine chair and that is amazing. Love the royal guards instead of some clones, all the Laat army fots there.
My only real issue with this is it’s not the emperors shuttle. it’s Darths, but it has the emperors throne inside it. The emperors shuttle should have a smooth nose with a light grey strip all the way up the middle
I got the AT AT yesterday at my local Walmart. I scanned the Imperial Shuttle from yours and it tells me that they have 4 in stock. tomorrow first time in the morning I am going to check.
Thank you for this video! I love the small figures. Ships looks too much new, without dirt. It needs more patina. Unfortunately this ship cannot be buy in Europe. I bought some ships from US Amazon, but ship this isn't there.
Love the shuttle, but the fact there are no pilots is just ridiculous. It's like the at-at only comes with 1 pilot and needs 2. Not to mention not having nearly enough troopers for that. I'm excited to see the rebel shuttle variant from rotj.
That I didn’t try. However, there’s those like “tabs to help secure them with a lip. I think if you pull them back a bit and get something very fine to push the lip down you MIGHT be able to.
Cool but way over-Priced. I bought the original giant size Imperial shuttle in 1983 for the action figures for less than this cost. We have an over-price problem here.
Does this not stand on its own when the wings are down in flight mode? I see you had it rested on an acrylic stand. Does it fall over nose first, or do those wings support it standing up?
Yep I was going to buy this until I saw the horrible job they did with the boarding ramp it's a worthless edition and it doesn't make any sense They needed to make the landing gear a little bit higher and the boarding ramp angled down a little bit further I was going to buy this but I'll pass I'd rather go get the havoc Marauder instead
I can barely find any of the new ones in my state ethier. I literally have to ask RU-vidrs where they got them from or any new information. Hopefully shipping gets fixed soon.
Lol these things are pretty hard to grab when they first release. My tips for in store shopping would be to go very early or late into the evening/night. It’s usually when they restock and before the scalpers show up. I’ve also heard that Walmart is only getting like 2-3 per case, so they’re still rare. The official release is on the 30th, I’d make sure to be there or be square.
Just keep in mind we’re still a week away from the official release of this and the AT-AT. They’re gonna be hard to find until then, and I’d even say after. After about a month they probably be easier to find.
