Arwings xings and more! Post about starfighter toys!
I like this design for an upgraded xqing, more than the t-70, anyone have ideas in how to do this to a titanium series xwing?
I always loved the design Naboo Starfighter. I used to have a toy of it when I was younger but i don't have that anymore
>>5365160
The hot wheels on is good.
Anyone have the revell electronic t70 and a bandai 1/72 t65?
nobody likes star wars! Fuck off!!
>>5365160
I used to have a fucking sweet figure of the X-wing. I have no idea where it is now. I used to have nice star wars toys as a kid...
My Tie Interceptor by Glasslite.
Best star fighter in the galaxy.
Also, there are hardly any images on the Google for this. Makes me sad.

Got a couple of those little Hot Wheels TIE Fighters...the Special Forces one is surprisingly heavy.
I got some of the X-Wing minitures
Best starship coming through!
Also, is the 1/1400 kit of this the only toy of this? How does it size up compared to the Enterprises at that scale?

fucking rouge squadron

I was just going through my attic and found my A Wing and Falcon, still cant find my X-wing or snowspeeder.
>>5366933
How are those new tie fighters? I saw one at the store for like 100 dollars, I don't really want one though, I just think the pilots look pretty cool.
Any 6 inch scale Millennium Falcons?
>>5367528
there is a 40 dollar tie fighter that's made for 3.75" figure and there is a 170 dollar tie fighter made for a 6" inch figure
>>5367727
Thats a really arbitrary price difference IMHO, I just bought a 6" pilot today, so I probably wont buy the tie fighter since I wasn't ever really a fan of their appearance.
>>5365156

>>5365741
I liked the gamecube version better.
>>5367937
But the big tie is huuuge, and takes two pilots, if you have the room, and the skills to make the wings out of stiffer materials, (metal or wood) then it is worth it.
>>5368392
That Fighter from Independence Day 2
>>5368578
>>5368392
Serious though, I think one of the movies designers really liked Macross.
>>5368586
that's seriously sexy no joke. toy when
>>5366817
I want that outrider so badly but every time I see it the game shop or Barnes and noble want like $30 for it.

Pfft, get outta here Isamu. Make way for a REAL starfighter!

When I saw that trailer I immediately thought they were flying VF-0Ds, haha.

HEY ARCADIA ONE OF THESE PLEASE
>>5369144
Amazon has had it for 20 the last week, might still be there. I bought it and the falcon. I don't play the game but they are to cool of models to pass up.
>tfw no Arwing toys
>>5368586
I don't see why not. They made toys for the last Independence Day movie, I remember they came with floppy disks too I believe.
>>5369144
The models are nicely detailed even weather and washed. Only complaint would have to be the engines lacking glow paint apps. But that just me.
You can get them online cheaper then in game shops(just don't tell /tg/ that they will lose their minds).
The one and only, baby
>>5369255
Yeah, but at-least they can dip into the Expanded universe and Rebels now. I am looking at picking up Imperial Assault Carrier and the Ghost from Rebels when it comes out.
>>5369244
there was one in a capsule toy I saw, came out with a set of metal slug tanks too, I'm SURE someone here knows of them more than I do.
Anyone seen repaints of the electronic falcon kit from TFA? I was considering what I might do to it if I got one.
My favourite star fighter is definitely the Y Wing. It's just so majestic and sturdy and old-looking. My girlfriend got me the bandai model kit for it for Christmas and it's gorgeous.
X wingos
No love for the Action Fleet fighters?
>>5376033
cool, all of them.
>>5376055
I had the x wing, that came with the small concept art model. Back in the early 2000s. Thing was awesome, until my little cousin got a hold of it and broke of the canopy and lost r2.
>>5376090
Had that version of the X-Wing as well. That was Red 3 with Biggs
>>5373683
I like the Y wing too, I also liked seeing it in the Clone Wars with it original hull plates. I can see why the rebel engineers went well fuck this extra shit, I am tired of taking off these plates after ever mission.
>>5376841
That aerodynamic design just looks silly. Latter ones look awesome.
>>5366933
The Disney Store ones?

>>5376090
Yeah those things could get real messy in the hands of kids, luckily I kinda preserved the ones that I had.
what is the size difference between the revel electronic t-70 and Bandai's 1/72 t-65? I want a t-65 that matches the t-70 well, btu don't know if there is a good size for it or not.
and the s-foils HAVE to work, it's wrong to have an xwing that can't do that.
really want a good 4-6 inch long clone wars era y-wing if there are any that don't transform.
otherwise, a nice OT y-wing for under $25 would be fine too, same size.
>>5377064
They are the 50 usd hasbro regular ones, i made a custom paintjob on the xwing and trim the size of the tie fighter clamps for the wings
>>5376055
I wanted those so bad when I was little. I only had Sebulba's Pod Racer and the MTT. I unfortunately don't have them anymore
>>5369144
If you're not interested in playing the game, you can check ebay for the model minus the cards and such. probably get a good deal on it that way.
>>5378728
I think the Disney Store diecast OT Y-Wing would do you nicely, it's about 5"-6" long:
http://www.disneystore.com/star-wars-y-wing-fighter-die-cast-vehicle/mp/1383790/1000268/
While the only one I own currently is the deluxe Star Destroyer here, I've bought several of the other Disney Store diecasts (TFA X-Wings and FO TIEs) to give as gifts and they're really quite nice for the price as I tried swooshing them around for a bit after the recipients opened them, hehe. I want to buy some for myself, but I've already got multiple versions of the vehicles from other toy lines so I'm waiting on a sale.
If you have a Disney Store locally, they'll probably have the Y-Wing on the shelves as I've always seen it at my local Disney Store.
>>5380505
Does the y-wing have landing gear? I was considering the hallmark one because it lights up, but I would be good with the die cast one if it was well made with landing gear.
I still prefer the clone wars version, I like the smoothed armor look.
>>5365190
>hot wheels
I wish there was a bandai kit or something else of that size
>>5380567
It does indeed have landing gear (you can see it retracted in the shot of the bottom on the Disney Store's site).
>>5380573
For the n-1? There were a few kits, might even be a bandai one, but all of them won't be shiny enough on the underside, and need more modeller work than a toy would provide.
Hallmark ornaments are good though, trim off the hanger and cord if they aren't removed already, and then you have a toy-like model with a pretty good quality.
>>5380584
Ooh, how is the star destroyer too? I was thinking of getting the first order version to repaint into the crimson corsair's pirate ship, but an empire one would be more appropo
>>5381282
Gentlemen.
How do we resurrect Galoob's Action Fleet line?
>>5381282
>planes you can just look at are sooo cool
Show it being played with or in space, an airplane is just fucking pathetic.
>>5381316
Buy more of revell's build n plamo line, so we get more ships and a customizable figure part.
What's the best (or at least greatest) TIE Fighter model/toy?
>>5381413
Best? The movie models.
Greatest? The 1/2 scale vader tie someone built.
>>5381344
Any word on how the Black Series 1/12 Tie Fighter has been selling?
I want them to do an X-Wing that'll accommodate 6" figures.
>>5369168
Good times.....
>>5386777
Wish they did a ywing from clone wars in that size, an arc-170 with moving wings too.
>>5376033
>no stand for the Micro Machine
Wow, it never struck me how sad that was until I saw those other guys with their fancy plastic sticks.
>>5387499
Yeah, the micromachines are shit. Cheap plastic, warped s foils and laser cannons.
>>5387575
The black series look nice, and the s foils move, but they don't really lock so everytime you pick them up the foils close and they are made of rubber.
Hot wheels are really nice, but s foils don't move and the plastic stands look ugly as sin. Wings are also rubber.
Still they are cheap and look nice.

Is that big one the Revell kit?
>>5387575
> micromachines are shit. Cheap plastic, warped s foils and laser cannons.
Since 1992
>>5388967
Yeah, lol. I got it for $12 at Michaels art supply, I was pretty stoked. I just bought the bandai one yesterday can't wait to build it. I've been watching online tutorials on adding details to models gonna try them out on the rebel one this weekend.
hm, so the revell t-70 is in scale with the titanium First Order Snowspeeder? neat.
>>5394222
>close up
I made a table with stars for them now.
You should modify the micromachines to be mid explosion and pair the wing with a tie wing, with a few of them mid explosion too.
Wish I was better with model kits
>>5396212
What is that? It looks neat.
>>5396627
Plamo from an amazing Shmup, Ikaruga
I miss R-Type...
