Saga A-Wing Fighter (Target Exclusive) Review

The box says this ship is from Return of the Jedi, but in reality an A-wing with this paint scheme never appeared in the movie. Thus, some people consider it EU (Expanded Universe). This A-wing is a Target exclusive and while I'm not sure when or if it will show up in the actual stores, you can order it online at Target.com for the nice price of $19.99 (this item is no longer available). There is a note at Target.com stating "Web Only", but whether they're talking about the item itself or the price remains to be seen. Read on for the review and 25 photos!

Here it is, the vehicle that stood out the most for me in Episode II, the Republic gunship. Quite simply, this is a fantastic toy with plenty of play value and a great place to display your figures. Read on for the review and 13 photos!

Saga Luke Skywalker and Landspeeder (with mobile "hovering" effect!) Review

This is a Toys R Us exclusive and retails for $19.99. Sporting an all-new sculpt, this landspeeder is far more accurate than the vintage or POTF2 version and still retains the same hovering feature. The inclusion of Luke Skywalker was also a great choice! Read on for the review and 10 photos!

Saga Luke Skywalker's X-wing Fighter (with R2-D2 figure) Review

This is a Toys R Us exclusive and retails for $39.99. Got a bunch of rebel pilots and astromech droids but no X-wing to put them into? Look no further than this X-wing! Featuring an astromech droid socket and no built-in Luke, you can now put in whatever pilot or astromech you want! I'm lovin' it! Read on for the review and 18 photos!

Saga Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter Review

This seems to be the official "sneak preview" vehicle. Not only is there a Jedi Starfighter videogame, but Lego has already released their own version. Toys R Us has stated that they will only put 6000 of these on their shelves and hold the rest for April 23, the official release day for all Episode II merchandise. I'm not sure what other stores' policy is regarding the Jedi Starfighter. Read on for the review and 9 photos!

Saga Anakin Skywalker's Swoop Bike Review

One of my favorite scenes in Attack of the Clones is when Anakin hops on his swoop bike and rides through the Tatooine desert to hunt down the tuskin raiders that took his mother. Thus, the swoop bike was a must buy for me, and while the bike turned out nice, the figure it comes with could use some work. Read on for the review and 11 photos!

Saga Darth Tyranus's Geonosian Speeder Bike Review

Shouldn't it be Darth Tyranus' instead of Darth Tyranus's? That extra s on the end just isn't proper english. Anyway, Dooku's ride is here in toy form and it's pretty good. They've incoporated the action feature into the bike instead on in the figure. Read on for the review and 14 photos!
