I got my fighter tank about a week ago and it's already being customized... lol.
I love this thing. Probably one of my favorite NON-spacefareing vehicles made yet. I've never liked any of the walker toys because it's just not practical for play or posing (with the wacky and wonky leg joints half the time) so I realy like this thing. I don't like the dinky little gun on the turret on top, kinda puny for my tastes... but that's an issue for the customizing to fix.
the "storage" bays on both sides aren't realy for storage, they have two molded in missiles and some greeblies cast into it, nothing removable though
. it's a nice detail but I would have liked it better to have some clips or something to hold a few blaster rifles or just a flat bottom to it instead of the retarted missiles...
it has wheels on the bottom which is a cool feature for play...
my only disapointment is that the two sides don't swivel as it does in the battlefront games. It had a kind of independent suspension feel to it that I liked, the toy is very rigid and all basically one piece consisting of a clamshell housing.
as far as customizing went it was alot more labor intensive to get the bottom seperated from the top that I'd have liked. There is a rear piece that has been glued on to hold the two pieces together. This can be sidestepped by using an exacto knife and alot of elbo grease... I'll post a tutorial on how to get the thing apart and customize it in the customs section...
