Now I know you don't want to spring for a lot of money, but I highly, highly,
recommend picking up a Snowspeeder. It's $20 (which is way over your price
range) but it's an amazingly well-built model, with great swooshability.
Second for me would be the Sppeder bikes or the Naboo Swamp. Both, again, are
high on the playability list, as you can have vehicles swooshing around with
Luke or Qui-Gon hacking and slashing away.
Seriously though, spring for the extra dough and get a Snowspeeder. You won't
be disappointed.

I was a little disapointed with my Warp Wing-Fighter's complete lack of swooshability, having the cluttered landing gear and those (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
