Funny, I was just thinking about this topic myself and logged on to post a
similar question....  Assuming TLC is not pausing for a spell to wait for
fresh EPII models, who would be interested in a UCS Droid Fighter?  I was
looking through the Incredible Cross Sections this morning and imagined how
cool it would be to have a larger droid fighter, complete with Technic parts
for the complex articulating transformation from ship to walker.  Also, a
means to slide the "wings" apart to reveal the twin blasters for in-flight
use would be swell.  Although the current droid fighter set received many
frowns, the vehicle did get lots of exposure in the film.  Who's with me?
Who's against me?  Why do y'all think it would be a good/bad idea?

Just stirring up the pot a bit!

Reason #1 to purchase a UCS Droid Fighter: Sick amounts of brown
Reason #2 to purchase a UCS Droid Fighter: See reason #1.

Reason #3 they are on sale at TRU - do you need another reason? lol

The Technic angle sounds nifty, but the Droid Fighter is pretty ho-hum, IMO.
I'd rather get my supply of brown in a Sandcrawler

Thats what I thought untill I got a few sets (on sale) - it is actually a
pretty neat set once you hold it in your hands.  The ONLY 2 reasons I bought
it was it was on sale, and I wanted more brown parts - cheap.  But after I
built the 2 sets I bought, I went out and got 3 more of them - I know, not a
"big" buy, but for something I was sure I was going to hate, it is a "big" buy.

(...) I agree that the set isn't all that bad (I have 2 of them after all.) MOF, I like the set. My comment was really directed at the "real" Droid Fighter. Yawn. Kind of boring and as disposable as a paper cup. james (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
