cool ship
This is an awsome ship! Well at least Anakins is. My cousin has a green Anakin jedi starfighter and I want to get the new Obi-wan Kenobi one that is coming in September. The only thing that is not good about it is that there is a little opening in the cockpit that Anakin's hand (the Green ship comes with an Anakin that has a normal hand and one holding a lightsaber) fell through.

One of the best Star Wars vehicles
I've got several Star Wars vehicles, but this is one of my favorites.It feels a lot more durable than some of the other vehicles, and with the firing missles and flip-out wings, it's pretty cool.

I like that they started molding some of the pieces out of a vinyl material instead of having the whole thing be hard plastic.(The "guns" down the center of the ship are vinyl.) The vinyl won't crack off if it hits something.

Two things I did note, though:

First, the flip-out wings flip out nicely when you push the release button, but snapping them back in closed position was harder than expected; I end up having to partially depress the release button to get them to snap in.Not a big deal for me, but for a younger child that might be tough.

Second, the R4 droid is removable and supposedly you can put an R2-D2 figure in the slot.I bought the Episode III R2-D2 and his feet are a little too wide so he won't fit in there.That was a little disappointing but not a deal-breaker.I still think the ship rocks.

cool
I must say this is a cool toy. This jedi starfighter is actually the past TIE-Fighter if you look at the weird looking circle in the middle.

BUY IT!
I've been a star wars collector for many(over 20) years.So far, without even having seen the movie, the Ep. 3 toy collection is the best. Both the Obi-wan and Anakin Jedi Starfighters(same exact ships, different colors) are among my all-time favorites, along with the ARC-170.Both are worth more than the price tag in my opinion.

Astromech droid can't fit!
I did not get the Obi-Wan starfighter, but I did get the Anakin. It is an awesome ship, except for the fact that the R2 I purchased just for the ship, did not fit. I don't know if they are going to make another R2 just for the ship, but the one they have now does not fit.....and that's a bummer. Besides that, the overall ship is great and a cool predecessor to the TIE fighter. ... Read more

A good toy, or is it?
Sure it may be good for a toy, but for collectors it may not be, this is because the seat is on the GODAMN SIDE OF THE VEHICLE! yes, that's right. Just watch the film and you will be amazed by how inacurate it is. Also you get general gievous figure which is ok BUT, if you watch the film he is not white, but a light beige. And, the model can be snapped quite easily. get it if your a kid, but it may not suit collectors.

unstable
this toy is very fun but be warned, if you think
the little 'bonus' qualifys for not getting general grievious,
you're wrong. it also sometimes the part where GG sits moves
independently from the wheel, looking weird.
and it may roll on its own.

"Exlusive" Figure is Crap, But Everything Else Looks Good
For the most part we, the consumers, purchase a VEHICLE set for the vehicle, not an extra pack in meant to draw in unwary buyers.So listing the absolutly terrible "Exclusive"Greivous as a downfall for the set as a whole is just picky.The vehicle in itself (the main attraction of the package), isn't all bad.Sure, it isn't the greatest of vehicles but it is very likely the only wheel bike that will come out, and you can bet that the wheel bike will hold a special place in the movie (f.y.i. the Obi-Wan Greivous chase scene), so that alone makes it worth buying.Don't let the other reviews make this package out to be absolute crap, after all, it's a plastic vehicle made for playing with; NOT made for perfect acuracy.It's out there to be fun to play with along with your other 3/4 inch figures, and it does that job exceedingly well.So what if it's balance isn't flawless, you purchase it to play with, not display (at least most people do).Bottom line:enjoy it for what it is:a good representation of the new movie vehicle.Not what you THINK it should be.This is a good purchase.

NOT AS COOL AS IT LOOKS...
It looks cool. It wants to be cool. I WANTED it to be cool. But it's not.

Here's the skinny:
~ The exclusive figure does not fit in the chair.
(be warned the "Wheel-General" is barely articulated)
~ The piece is ill-balanced.
~ It rolls unsteadily (when it rolls).
~ It stands poorly.
~ It's awkward to hold and clumsy to play with.
~ and to top it off, it "feels" cheap.

Do not be swayed by the stunning packaging. Do not be fooled by the exclusive figure. This is a weak offering from the Hasbro team. Don't get caught up in the hype, learn from my mistake.

Wheel Bikes Rule
This is a great set. It comes with a wonderful wheelbike toy that goes just about anywhere and has lots of detail. On top of that you get a bonus, a limited edition General Grievous action figure that cannot be found anywhere else. ... Read more

NOT AN R4!
This toy is increadably kewl but is deffinately not and R4 unit, it's an R2, althougfh it has an inaccurate name it is still and awsome looking and durrable little toy! a recomended buy!

Nice R4 Unit
I'm looking forward to seeing this guy in Episode III. He is a gold-colored droid that apart from his color looks alot like R2D2. Cute little guy and a fun toy to play with.

R2-D2 with a k-razy paint job!
Ok,it's not so k-razy,but this R2-unit is a really fun little guy.Place him near any light source and his 'eye' glows orange.His arms/legs/whatever are poseable as are his feet/hands/whatevers and if you spin his dome around - presto - his little third leg (I'm sorry,I really don't know what else to call it) extends downwards or stows back in his body.

And,big plus - that stupid looking blue ball thingy can be easily removed and thrown away - I mean,stored for the day when this becomes a valuable collectible.

Good for kids of all ages,except those young or strange enough to try and eat it. ... Read more

Lothlorien Gift Pack
This set of five figures contains the exclusive Haldir and Celeborn figures along with Galadriel, Frodo, and Strider.

The Haldir figure in his woodland garb is very nice.His boots are particularly cool.

The Celeborn figure is a disappointment.He bears little resemblance to actor Marton Csokas, and his hair should be silver rather than blonde.

The other three figures are available separately.

If you love the elves, you will love this set!
This set has five figures, Aragorn, Frodo, Galadriel, Celeborn, and Haldir.Aragorn is much like the Fellowship strider figure, only a little more sturdy.The Frodo is also similar to other Frodo's, but it is still nice.Galadriel is the very same Galadriel that has been around for awhile.I would have liked it if they had redone her.I don't completely like that figure.She's pushing her stomach out too far for me.The Haldir figure is really nice.I like him in his Lothlorien clothes.It's about time they came out with another Haldir.The last figure is Celeborn.He's very sturdy and looks a lot like the character from the movie.His robes are a very nice green color.It is definitely well made.This is a great set for LOR lovers. ...

Great set with some awesome new figures
This set includes five figures, Legolas, Gimli, Morannon Orc, Dead Soldier, and Mumakil Rider.Gimli is a great figure.He's much like the other Gimli's, but he's still great.Legolas is also a nice figure.This one has a different expression than other Legolas figures.That's always nice, considering most Legolas figures look like clones of each other.The Morannon Orc is a very sturdy figure.He's really ugly, but I guess that's expected since he's an orc.The Dead Soldier looks a lot like the dead soldiers.I don't know how well he'd pair with the king of the dead, considering the king of the dead is glow in the dark and this one is not.I really enjoy the Mumakil Rider.It looks just like the guy from the movies.He has the same insane expression on his face.If you are looking for a set chock full of great figures, this is the set for you! ...

FANTASTIC FIGURE!!
This is one of my favorite figures! and its not part of the revenge basic collection but a prieview, i think this figure later will be worth more then people think considering he isnt in the basic sett ... Andhes reallly AWSOME in design!!

Well Done!
This is an excellent figure for collectors and kids alike!It has a fantastic paint job and a great amount of detail!It is sure to become a collectors item due to the fact that its becoming increasingly hard to find the sneak preview figures.So go get this geat figure!

InterestingFigure
I dont know too much about the character but his figure was worth buying. He comes complete with a staff and a blaster rifle. Destined to become a true collectors item these preview figures are not to be missed.

A Futuristic Ghoul.
STAR WARS fans have some idea what the final movie will contain: the death of most of the Jedi, the duel between Anakin and Obi Wan, the return of Anakin from almost certain death to that as life as Darth Vader, and some sort of Wookie battle. Hints have been placed here and there throughout the novels, video games, and animated series on Cartoon Network. Now that the release of what is supposed to be the final STAR WARS motion picture on May 19, 2005; the mass merchandising has begun. Let the action figures roll!

Tion Medon is the local administrator on a planet called Utapau. Not having yet seen REVENGE OF THE SITH, it's hard to say what exact purpose he plays in the new movie. However, it's safe to say that Tion Medon doesn't have a friendly look about him. In fact, he looks like death warmed over and his long red robes remind me just a little bit too much of the Royal Imperial Guards. Like General Grievous, Tion Medon is both intimidating and frightening in appearance. The action figure includes this long rifle-like gun and a walking stick that looks a little bit too much like an upside-down lightsaber. The figure is fun to play with and not knowing yet exactly what role he plays in the saga makes it even more interesting right now--sometimes you can use him as an obvious Sith member, othertimes one can pretend he's really on the side of the Republic but just has a scary-looking face. The figure isn't very flexible (which is a complaint of most of the STAR WARS action figures) and that's about the most major drawback. Nevertheless, the character is a lot of fun and makes a great addition to any STAR WARS collection. ... Read more

Good starter for power ranger loving young ones
My son is 3 years old and a power ranger lover... this was perfect as it had an assortment of the rangers, a zord and villians.He loves it.The parts are very durable for a young child, there are a few pieces that could create a choking hazard but the larger pieces are perfect.

not if you want it big
if you want the whole set and it all cheaper this is the toy for you but it isnt as big though some of the parts dont move ... Read more

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
I was looking for a action figure set of the whole Simpsons Family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Now, here are the pros and cons.

Pros:
Contain of whole Simpsons Family
Cheap Price(Bought here)
Fun

Cons:
Living Room NOT compatible with other characters.

What's up you toy nerds?
The concept of collecting toys when you can afford a credit card is absurd, that is why I am a toy NERD. This particular flashback set has been out for a while,I'm glad it's cheaper in price cause it's getting ridiculous especially with the independent toy stores. So my review is this: it's good. I saw the picture and I know what I was getting. The delivery was quite efficient and speedy Gonzales. Last I'd like to add that I DO OPEN my toys, cause you only become obsessed with mint condition and never enjoy the essence of the collectables. Get a life me.

Most creative environment yet!
Unlike the 3 negative reviews above for this set I am totally HAPPY with mine. It arrived in absolutely MINT condition. there is not a crack/tear/rip/dent or messed up paint job anywhere on the set.
I still can't believe Playmates made this set. ...If you collect Simpsons WOS figures, then you need to get this NOW! before it's gone! ...

DISAPPOINTMENT...
Because this set was intended for collectors I thought no detail would be spared. Boy was I wrong. The box shows a picture on the front that shows what the Simpsons looked like back on the Tracy Ullman Show. The figures in this box look nothing like that picture. They look cheesy and cheap. Why oh why couldn't they have cleaned up the detail on these figures. Would it have been that hard to make the figures with the correct outfits? This set could have been such a gem, instead were left with a set destined for the bargain basement. Speaking of such, notice that the price of the set has been cut in half and still has not sold out. Even though it was this cheap price during Christmas. Hmmmmmmm....

OK For The Price
This Simpsons Flashback Playset would be better if the little figurines looked more like the actual Simpson family. They aren't really to play with, more for collectors or big fans of the show (like me). The paint job wasn't exactly perfect, but I didn't really mind. ... Read more
