I'm a Star Wars fanatic and I just love collecting all the figures and toys and displaying them in scenes inspired from the movie.
I've got 90% of all the ships and vehicles from the "modern" star wars line (POTF2 to present), and frankly Hasbro seems to be lowering it's quality in the ships and vehicles lines lately, although the contrary has happened in the action figure lines.

I'm disappointed with this toy because:
1. One of the transparent "blades" of the vehicle was loose when I took the toy out of the box. There will be a durability issue if kids play with the toy.
2. The vehicle sees VERY limited screen time in the movie, so it's not a very "cool" vehicle for a kid to have. I bet any kid would prefer Grievous's wheel bike or any of the Jedi Starfighters.
3. There's also the issue with the almost non-articulated pilot, which is plain useless if taken out of the vehicle. This seems to be the new norm with Hasbro (see also the AT-RT, Boga & Obi-Wan, BARC speeder...)
4. The "action feature" of the moving blades is the most lame feature I've seen.

In overall, this toy is just hogging shelf space at this moment.

This is one of the best vehicles Hasbro has come out with for the ROTS line. This is a very fun toy with cool features. I think it was a great concept for a toy and Hasbro did a well and thought through job on this one. My only problem is the wookie pilot it comes with is kind of generic looking, but that is a very small problem compared to the other great features. The fact that it comes with a figre at all is nice, where as it would cost $5.00 for the figure alone so essentially you are only paying $10.00 for the vehicle aloine and it is easily worth that much. It is very fun and I cannot recommend it enough. Finally Hasbro gets it right.
