I'd say that 3 of the 4 are pretty likely candidates. A Star Destroyer toy is just out of the question unless its ludicrously scaled down. As for the Imperial Transport? I wonder if the Kenner tooling is still available in Hasbro's inventory?

This seems very doable in this scale... I really wish they'd go to $30 vehicles and just do ones that are back to the old size(s) though. I get why they're not... Things don't sell at $30. It's like figures don't do so hot at $10. But new meat... Surely they can do $25 and make the most out of the Rebels line while they can.

The AT-DP looks like it would fit well in a $25-$30 line too... Those current ships in Class-II are dismal though, honestly. I wouldn't even touch them for fodder.

I'd hate to see half-assed attempts at things like the AT-DP done for Rebels... I'd rather pay more and get something awesome.

In the case of Rebels - the half-assed attempts come first (under-scaled $20 vehicles, 5POA figures) - then four years later, a few awesome Rebels items will be released (maybe one nice signature vehicle and some Vintage/Black-Series style figures).

It will follow the same pattern as the Clone Wars, the only difference was that the Clone Wars was given a good run, I don't see Rebels getting half of what the Clone Wars did - it's going to rapidly be overshadowed by a new movie.

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

Yeah exactly - if the new movie does come out in May 2015, rebels will get all of one quarter to make a splash. Which opens up a question of what the line in general looks like going forward. Heavily segmented? Rebels, VII, black series, legends, angry whatever? Or more limited in scope?

I guess this is the AT-DP? Anyway, this was one of my favorite designs when I played Galactic Battlegrounds on the PC waaaaaaay back when I was a kid. I was excited when I saw Rebels was using it in the show last year, but I really didn't expect a good looking toy like this to be made. I'm stoked!

Uh, holy ****, yes. Seconded on that Greg. I'm gonna pick up a few of those. A concept art design used throughout the EU, now in the toon, and getting what looks to be one hell of a nice toy?

Yeah, I'll be buying several... Squads of them. Custom up some planet-specific decoes. I'm already thinking of how I'll stowage up some long-deployment ones. I love it.

Looks surprisingly tall.

That TIE next to it? A freakish little new design TIE? I'm in. Scale's debatable on things like that anyway. I like the new design look to it. Reminds me of concept art for TIE Fighters actually, which had the squat wing design.

I thought they may do both, but an under-sized winged TIE wasn't something I was into... THAT TIE however, reminds me a lot of early TIE designs... I'm interested there I think, but the AT-DP? My oh my that thing looks better every time I look at it.
