Last of 2007 wave

Another round of questions and answers from Hasbro. I kind of like, feel deflated when I read the answer to this question. Like there's no bang! or crescendo for the last wave of 2007.

Q: Since Hasbro ran out of time making it unable to plan and bring a full presentation for Titanium Series at Celebration IV, might we get some info on what's coming in the line, especially beyond the small handful of new pieces that were there?


A: Beyond what we have shown, there is only one more wave. It's a pretty cool wave, with one new retool based on a McQuarrie painting - a concept Snowtrooper on Snowspeeder. Beyond that, there is a Hoth deco AT-ST, a new AAT, a revised V-Wing, and a black chrome AT-AT. That'll be it for 2007, but 2008 will be chock full of goodness Titanium 3" vehicle front, so stay tuned!

This would be wave 6, I think. To me, its one new amd the rest repaints. I thought Hasbro was like going to wow us with new vehicles and stuff, and they are saving the best for last, double duhhhh!!! Silly me for doubting Hasbro's marketing team.

Above is the concept snowspeeder. It is the start of introducing concept based vehicles into the titanium series. This vehicle was previously done for the Action Fleet Series
Alpha. An okay looking vehicle. But the rest of the wave reads like a dejavu.

  • Hoth deco AT-ST!!!! this is like the lazy clone turbo tank and attack cruiser in plain vanilla. Absolutely lazy.
  • New AAT??? I bet it will have a green based deco.
  • Revised V-wing??? just call it repaint okay. Hmmm ... best guess, red deco.
  • Chrome AT-AT!!! Colour me jet black. This AT-AT methinks goes out only at night and carrying only the shadow troopers.

Which leaves us with the unanswered and unseen Rouge Shadow fighter? Hmmm ...
