So, I bought the First Order Snowspeeder. It ought to be called the snowspeedboat. It literally looks like a boat.
This vehicle is extremely roomy. able to fit probably six soldiers without cargo and four with the cargo, which is extra blaster ammunition. Those seats are huge as well. I hope they're slightly oversized on the model, because the ship would look really wierd otherwise. The proportions seem to be minifigure-scale. The whole ship kinda has a mechanized, industrial feel. It's not here to look good, it's here to get the job done. It's one of my favorite ships from the new lineup, and for forty bucks and 444 pieces (on Sept 4, and may the fourth be with you, too) it's a pretty good value. It sits up on hidden wheels to make it look as though it's skimming over the snow. My single complaint is that this ship needs one more minifigure, preferably a member of the Resistance with some sort of sniper rifle to make a bit more of a battle. Still, it's more than worth your money.
