THE GALACTIC SENATE

Collectors of Vehicles and Starships may be pleased to know that Hasbro is releasing 3 new assault vehicles and crafts soon. These are the:

Trade Federation Armoured Assault Tank


Hailfire Droid


and Darh Vader's Sith Starfighter (no picture yet).

Except for the Darth Vader's Sith Starfighter, I believed that the AAT and Hailfire Droid are re-releases of the originals that were sold under the "Clone Wars" versions. I missed the AAT the first-time around, thus I can't wait for the new version that is going to be released soon. I already have the Hailfire Droid so I may give this new one a miss unless it is vastly different.

But the Darth Vader's Sith Starfighter should be a new item. I just hope that it won't just be a re-paint of the original Anakin Jedi Starfighter. But knowing Hasbro, they may just apply black paint to the original yellow paint and release it as a new item!!

Cannot recall where I saw it, but it seems to be a repaint It's dark in colour. Think it's EE or TRU online catalogue

Unfortunately it IS a REPAINT.

Hasbro wanna re-use all molds and save their cost to earn more profit.
Money sucking...

anyone knows the astromech's name on Darth's fighter? hehe
(no i do not know....i wanna know)

Dark R2-D2? Shadow R2-D2? Evil R2-D2? another Hasbro's repaint and crazy idea. LOL.

They too lazy to change the Insignia in front of the R2 unit...

Can the R2 unit be removed? Half sus that one may find that only the upper portion is painted 'Sith' black; with the lower portion still in 'Republic' colours...

I was abt to say that! LOL! seems like the republic lives on! shoulda change to the empire insignia.

la di da... Just wondering, why didn't Vader use his "Sith Starfighter" when shooting the Falcon in Ep 4 then? =p

My guess is that his Sith Starfighter will be 20 years older in SW4 and after reaching the 1 billion parsecs it has to be scraped... he trade in for a customised TIE interceptor built for his height and size...
