Hasbro Titanium Series Imperial Cargo Shuttle SW-0608

By patox, in X-Wing

Happy Rogue Friday everyone.

Somehow at midnight I needed to pick up milk and eggs. And somehow I ended up at a supermarket right next to a Toys R Us. And from there, I could not resist the pull of new Star Wars bling. And on the shelves, lo and behold, lots of new toy ships. One in particular found it's way to the cash register. Here's the imperial Sea Turtle. Probably won't work for 1/270 scale though.

I never did get milk or eggs.

Could that be our missing SKU?

Its kind of cute with its wings down. I'd take it!

With its wings down, it truly is a space whale...

Could that be our missing SKU?

I don't think so. It would be about twice the size of the Lambda in 1/270.

All I need now are 4 elephants and a repainted YT-1300.

[whispers] The Turtle Moves!

I like it!

:)

Pretty neat, but never going to be a non-Epic x-wing ship.

I hope.

Armada though.

I'd buy an epic one. That's an awesome ship!

My face just now.

Man that design is great. Even cooler is that it's a cargo shuttle, and now we know how The Empire delivers stuff like that.

Which, we can surmise that at least two of these things are on a Star Destroyer at any given time. How else can Star Destroyers deploy those garrison bases?

Not a superfan of the quad-wing design..looks ihmo a little bit like "safe" design to me.

Lead designer:" Right y'all, we need to make a new SW shuttle design. Pitch me your best designs!"

5 days later having been through lots of innovative new shuttle designs..

Lead designer:"Hmm..what if we like took.the..the Lambda..and..and..made it longer..and..and..doubled the number of wings..then it still looks star-warsy..". (So whats next? 6 wings?)
