TIE Interceptor boxed musings
Don't get me wrong, I'm REALLY excited about getting the new TIE Interceptor, but there are a couple of things I noticed after looking at the boxed pics on the front page.....
I'm a little annoyed that they are using what appears to be the EXACT same mold as the vintage one. Granted, that was a good mold, but I don't understand why they still have that retarded battery compartment extension on the back of the cockpit pod. It looks like they tried to hide it in the pictures, but it's there. How hard would it have been to re-do the back to be more accurate to the real design of the ship? Either that, or include some frickin' electronics!
Also, shouldn't the text on the blow-away solar panels read, "Vanquish the REBEL fleet", not "Vanquish the IMPERIAL fleet"? BIG packaging error, Hasbro. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
