More Cheap Star Wars Stuff

The local KB Toys is selling off the Star Wars "Series Alpha" boxed sets
for $3.99 each -- something that I have long been waiting for.  Each box
has two things in it -- a "final design" vehicle in (more or less) 20mm
scale, and a "concept model" in a significantly smaller scale. The bigger
vehicles are okay, but I've put 'em right into my bits box. The *smaller*
vehicles, though...*that's* what I wanted. The concept vehicles look pretty
neat, and they have the advantage of not being immediately identifiable as
Star Wars models.

The X-Wing is the only real exception to this -- the concept design has
a sort of "bubble" canopy, but that's only real change.

The ATAT is still recognizable, but I actually think that the concept version
looks much better. No "hump back", windows along the side, a gun mounted under
the chin and a turret under the belly.... It's a nice 6mm troop carrier. A BIG
6mm troop carrier, but still.

The Snowspeeder is my favorite. 15mm scale, and it looks pretty different from
the final snowspeeder. I'll be using it either as a ground attack fighter or
as a scout vehicle.

The last one, an Imperial Shuttle with a round cockpit, is also a nice 15mm
vehicle. Maybe a shuttle....
