The U-Wing is a landing craft - doesn't really belong in X-wing, but we have the Lambda so...
The Tie Striker is a ret-con gap filler that is unnecessary. I originally thought it was mainly a speeder, but I've seen stuff that says it can fly in space too... so... yeah. Since TIE/ln use repulsor lift tech to travel in atmosphere / hover / fly sideways... this thing seems like 'ship designed to be new ship since Force Awakens had no new ships to be new ships' - ship.
Not sold on either. But they will certainly be in the game... and the Striker will inevitably be better than a TIE/ln and the U-boat will be more maneuverable than an X-wing (cause everything aside from the Lambda is).
Possible glimpse of the ships of the future!
I disagree that the quality is "plummeting".The quality of those Hasbro figures are just plummeting. I like all the new Rogue One ships, even the wierd shuttle. I hope the Striker is not an Atmosphere Tie only. We know the wings can "flap" and I wonder what reasons it has for the long body?
To me, it seems they are taking a slight trade off in detail to make them more durable. You know, so kids can ACTUALLY play with them, as opposed to 40 year old man-children "collecting" them.
Or trading off detail and durability to make them more cheaply but sell them for the same price. It is Hasbro after all.
Speaking as a 40 year old man-child...WE ARE SO GONNA GET THIS... YESsss...!!!

This kid looks like they scooped him up from the old 70s SW toy ads and gave him this year's toys to show off. And why did they choose to show off a white space ship in front at a white couch? They should have stolen a couch from the 70s too!
It was setup by sum art-fart-know-it-all... which is why the kids blue shirt also matches the blue marking on the wonderful ship.

See what happens when Math-Wing tries to be fun and artistic?

Jesus Christ, the quality looks terrible.
Ha, the face on that Poe action figure is killing me.
