OK, without Star Destroyers or even Jabba's sailbarge on this list, what do you guys think about Hasbro making each of the following:


1) escape pod (Tantive IV)
2) the sandcrawler - but getting it out there!
3) Owen Lars' landspeeder
4) Imperial Landing craft
5) Rebel Pilot transport
6) Rebel Transport (T-47's)
7) Twin Pod Cloud Cars (you can see the current poll for that one)
8) Ewok glider
9) Ewok catapult
10) Gungan Submarine
11) Gasgano's Pod
12) Ody Mandrell's Pod
13) Teemto's Pod
14) Dud Bolt's pod (OK - he's my favorite)
15) Mars Guo's pod
16) The Sith Infiltrator
17) light battle droid transport
18) MTT Battle Droid Transport
19) Nute Gunray's shuttle
20) Large spider droid
21) Radiant VII Republic cruiser (Qui-Gon's transport ship)
22) AT-TE (6-legged walker)
23) Padme's star yacht
24) Senator's starship
25) Gunship AT-TE CARRIER
26) Galactic Senate speakers' cars
27) Gian Speeder (Naboo's)
28) Refugee Freighter (Anakin's transport ship)

any other somewhat feasible sized vehicles that could be made into toys.

I suggest everyone mark or group their "yesses" and "nos"

Feel free to add to the list, just leave the big stuff out. The best choice would be Jabba's sailbarge, but our aim in this thread is to have a 'more likely' list.

(1-28)YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would defenetly buy any of those I love the vehicles and some of those are more sorely missed from being made than others...

i'd give the entire list a 'no' but if made (or in sandcrawler's case released) i'd purchase any/all of them. i never plan on buying vehicles but get them all. the one i'd really look forward to is a resculpted falcon.

I would love to see most of them made, with the exception of so many pod racers. Iknow they made the figures, why not make the pods for them too. If they spread them out over time I think it would be cool but not all at once.

These are the four that I would buy without question:

1) Sandcrawler
2) Escape Pod (all new, movie accurate sculpt!)
3) Bespin Cloud Car
4) Rebel Troop Transport (retool the inside as playset instead of carrycase.)

I'd be tempted to get:

5) Sith Infiltrator
6) Owen Lars's Speeder
7) Imperial Landing Craft

As for the rest, I'd probably pass. They just don't excite me enough
in overall design for me to want them in toy form. . .

Eh, i agree with most of those Tycho, but I think hasbro should get the main vehicles we'd want out first (ie- Sailbarge, Destroyers, Sandcrawler (so close!)

As said by Darth Jax, i'd like a resculpted Falcon. I didn't get the POTF2 one and figure they'll make another one in time. Good list though! :D

Many cool vehicles, but....

many vehicles that would be too large and costly to release.
sith infiltrator? No way its done.

pod racers? the 2 main ones that were released were pegwarmers

I dont think they will release any sizable vehicle that isnt a guaranteed sell

I thought the T-47's were the snowspeeders?

http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/snowspeeder/index.html

Well...at least that's what the official site states! So in a manner of speaking...we already have these...just not one for Hobbie, Zev, Wedge, etc...

Now the following would indeed be very nice! Listed in no particular order:

1) Escape Pod
2) Sandcrawler
3) Rebel Transport
4) Imperial Landing craft
5) Rebel Pilot transport

1) escape pod (Tantive IV) YES!
2) the sandcrawler - but getting it out there! YES!!! Most Definitely!
3) Owen Lars' landspeeder Maybe (I'd buy it if it was made)
4) Imperial Landing craft Yes, but only in Action Fleet scale not figure scale
5) Rebel Pilot transport YES!!!!! Most Definitely! This is WAYYYY overdue. It should come with the Driver figure as well!
6) Rebel Transport (T-47's) Yeah, this is the snowspeeder, so we already have it. Here's an excerpt from the official site: Star Wars: Databank | snowspeeder
When stationed on Hoth, the Rebel Alliance modified T-47 airspeeders to become snowspeeders, fast flying conveyances for patrol and defense of their hidden base. The main Alliance snowspeeder unit at Echo Base was Rogue Group, led by Luke Skywalker.
And here's the link:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/snowspeeder/index.html
7) Twin Pod Cloud Cars (you can see the current poll for that one) Yes!
8) Ewok glider Maybe (I might pass on this one though)
9) Ewok catapult NO
10) Gungan Submarine If you mean the "Bongo" that Qui/Obi/Jar Jar were in, YES.
11) Gasgano's Pod Yes, but in limited quantities (Same answer for all "Pod Racers" in this list)
12) Ody Mandrell's Pod
13) Teemto's Pod
14) Dud Bolt's pod (OK - he's my favorite)
15) Mars Guo's pod
16) The Sith Infiltrator ABSOLUTELY YES! This was the precursor to T.I.E. fighters!
17) light battle droid transport OH Yeah! anything that an army builder like me needs to build his collection!
18) MTT Battle Droid Transport Same answer for previous listing!
19) Nute Gunray's shuttle Yes, but this could be a limited run as well.
20) Large spider droid YES!!! Since it's already slated to be an Action Fleet "vehicle" why not figure scale. It would be extremely easy to package. The window to the box could show the "Ball" and the extenders (First part of the legs) and the long parts of the legs could be packaged inside the box under the "Ball" hidden from view. (Kinda how they did with the swamp X-wing's WINGS and the Y-wings "Nacelles"
21) Radiant VII Republic cruiser (Qui-Gon's transport ship) NO. The Action Fleet one was good enough. If they arent' going to do the Tantive IV first then no they shouuld do they Radiant VII. More action went on, on the Tantive IV so that would be a better choice IMHO.
22) AT-TE (6-legged walker) HELL Freakin' YEAH! I've been EXPECTING this from the begining. To hear that Hasbro has no plans to make this literally sickens me. This was by far my, and many of you our there, favorite vehicle! Besides, I could use a place to store Clonetroopers!
23) Padme's star yacht No, at least not in the near future. This ship didn't have much of an impact to the movie. It was just a transport, no action really.
24) Senator's starship To which one are you refering?
25) Gunship AT-TE CARRIER With a big FAT D'OH! Of course this should be made if they decide to make the Figure scale one. At the very least they should make it as an Action Fleet scale to kind of test the waters with the design!
26) Galactic Senate speakers' cars YES!!! It works for BOTH EPi and EPii!
27) Gian Speeder (Naboo's) NO, again not much of an impact vehicle.
28) Refugee Freighter (Anakin's transport ship) Yes, but only as Action Fleet. It really would be WAY too big to do as figure scale.

Okay, Tycho, was that more along the lines of what you were looking for?

Oh, yes and a new Sculpt/Mold of the Falcon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For criminy's sake, make 'em all.

Techno Union Hardcell-Class Ship (wouldn't be no where near to scale, but I want one anyway.)

Tycho
06-18-2003, 01:26 PM
I want the Techno-Union's ships as well.

With T-47's, I made a mistake. I meant the large Rebel Transports that they used to evacuate Hoth. They made the ship a carry-case / vehicle in the vintage line.

I did mean and strongly do want the Bongo, as the Gungan submarine. Yes, it would hold 3.

The Radiant VII Republic Cruiser is way smaller than the Tantive IV Blockade Runner, so I thought we might get away with getting this ship made (though of course I wanted a Blockade Runner to a scale so fit for our action figures that I went and built one!)

The Senator's Starship was the flying wing Corde died on.

The Refugee Freighter need not be made to scale. I'd just like something that I could set up a display about the size of the VINTAGE cantina playset in, with the 6 (?) armed server droid and maybe a spot up front for my Captain Rex (Star Tours) droid to be the pilot's cabin. Then Anakin and Padme could have a place to practice up on their Shakespeare.

These are hardly my most wanted off this list. Those would include the Bongo, Sith Infiltrator, some pod racers, the Cloud Car, Lars' landspeeder, the Sandcrawler, Padme's yacht, the Senate cars, and by far the AT-TE! ...and the spider droid, and - oh heck - I'm just copying my own list for Pete's sake!

1) escape pod (Tantive IV)
I'm not exactly screaming for it, but it surprises me it's not been made yet. Throw in a new sandy R2 and/or 3PO and you've got a great "budget" vehicle.

2) the sandcrawler - but getting it out there!
Yes, yes, yes, YES!

3) Owen Lars' landspeeder
I could go either way on this one. I'd definitely get it if they made it, but it's not a glaring hole in my collection.

4) Imperial Landing craft
This one's pretty cool, so I'll go with yes.

5) Rebel Pilot transport
Is this the little cart that whisks them around? Throw in a decently done technician and voila! Another great budget vehicle.

6) Rebel Transport (T-47's)
With two Snowspeeders and the EU Snowspeeder, I can live without this one.

7) Twin Pod Cloud Cars (you can see the current poll for that one)
Absolutely.

8) Ewok glider
Definitely!

9) Ewok catapult
Indubitably! Throw in a Battle Wagon and some ponies, too!!

10) Gungan Submarine
Another one I can't figure out why it isn't made yet.

11) Gasgano's Pod
12) Ody Mandrell's Pod
At this point, they both need resculpts of the pilots (simply because they've not been on shelves for a while), but yes.

13) Teemto's Pod
Yes, but hold the Teemto. He's warming pegs everywhere.

14) Dud Bolt's pod (OK - he's my favorite)
15) Mars Guo's pod
These would need pack-ins because they've yet to be made. But yes.

16) The Sith Infiltrator
No question, this one needs to be made. Especially before they throw out another Luke or Maul.

17) light battle droid transport
18) MTT Battle Droid Transport
These would both be awesome.

19) Nute Gunray's shuttle
I can't place what this one is. . . .

20) Large spider droid
Maybe. It's cool, but would it sell?

21) Radiant VII Republic cruiser (Qui-Gon's transport ship)
This would be cool, but would they make it to a decent scale?

22) AT-TE (6-legged walker)
YES!!

23) Padme's star yacht
24) Senator's starship
These are in the "I'd buy them, but I wouldn't miss them if they don't make them" category

25) Gunship AT-TE CARRIER
As much as I doubt they'd make it, this would be awesome!

26) Galactic Senate speakers' cars
Another great "budget" vehicle. Hey, scam us by doing three different versions with different Senators. We'll gobble them up. :)

27) Gian Speeder (Naboo's)
It's a crime that this was made for the Action Fleet but not in the regular scale.

28) Refugee Freighter (Anakin's transport ship)
Eh, I could do without this one.

These are the only ones I care about. I'd like to forget about EP1, but the infiltrator would be cool.

1) escape pod (I'd like to see it, but don't need one, I built a custom one of my own.)
7) Twin Pod Cloud Cars
16) The Sith Infiltrator
22) AT-TE (6-legged walker)
23) Padme's star yacht
25) Gunship AT-TE CARRIER

I would probably not pass on any of them, but here's what I would want the most:
1) escape pod
2) the sandcrawler - I would like to see these first two packaged together like the old 70s playset that had the cardboard crawler backdrop.
6) Rebel Transport
7) Twin Pod Cloud Cars
11) Gasgano's Pod 12) Ody Mandrell's Pod 13) Teemto's Pod - I would like to have these pods to suspend from my ceiling like the other two. That way I can have a pod race going on over my head. Plus, we have these figures so it would be good to have pods with them.
16) The Sith Infiltrator - definitely an overlooked vehicle that should have been made. Some of my Dath Mauls need a place to sit.
22) AT-TE
25) Gunship AT-TE CARRIER - Especially if they make the AT-TE
26) Galactic Senate speakers' cars

And I too wouldn't mind seeing a resculpted Falcon, maybe one with a four seated cockpit. But that maybe asking for too much.

Yikes! I somehow forgot all about the Senate Speaker Cars!

I'd totally snap up a flying saucer or twi for my figs. . .

I was rather amazed these weren't made after Episode I.

If they made the Techno Union Hardcell-Class ship it should at least be as tall as the Ep1 Queens Royal Starship is long, though it'd probably have to be an exclusive.
