My love for the POTF line is neverending!! Even the much-despised Imperial Cruisemissle Trooper!! I absolutely LOVE them
Oh man, you're speaking my childhood right here. I received this toy for Christmas of 1995, and just 2 short months later we had the mother of all snowstorms. I distinctively remember playing with my snowspeeder outside with my friend and his AT-ST. Such a fantastic toy and even better unlike the Falcon which couldn't support the "improved" sculpting of the POTF2 figures, the Luke pilot figure was specifically tooled to fit inside the Snowspeeder and the X-Wing.
The Rebel Snowspeeder is one of the greatest looking vehicles EVER.
I had the POTF2 'Speeder and you can bet I crashed it Dagobah-style into some waters (we don't have snow where I live). The electronics survived for quite awhile, surprisingly, but them stickers peeled away fast. Definitely the most fun I had with any of my vehicles as a kid.
Awesome video... love that you're hitting the Star Wars! 😁. I loved this vehicle because it was a fighter... with two seats! Can't say exactly why, but small ships that could fit two figures were always my favorites. Very fun seeing this toy in its natural environment. Beautiful footage!
Thanks! I'm surprised they made it as big as they did. Always imagined the Snowspeeder as a small ship but the toy is huge! I guess everything looks tiny compared to AT-AT's. :D
The Snowspeeder is an awesome vehicle. I really dig that you shot this video in its natural environment. It takes us one step closer to Hoth!
Thanks Droz! Have a great weekend!
To this day, I remember coming home from school on a day back in 1980. My older sister had surprised me by picking up a Rebel Snowspeeder. At the time, I didn’t even realize it had been released!
Another awesome video Michael. I’m. proud to be a Patreon supporter for you! 😀
What a great gift! Thanks Joe, much appreciated. :D
One of my favorite Star Wars toy and I was happy when I had a chance to buy the Power of the Force edition. I couldn’t get the original one when I was younger. But when they re-released this toy, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, lol. I like the blaster sound effects especially and gives you those Empire Strikes vibes. Thank You for the review and video! Nerdmaste! May the Force be with you as well!
Well done, that was a great outside toy profile.
Thanks!
The Snowspeeder was my favorite Star Wars toy growing up in the 80's. Then I got hooked on POTF toys as an adult and was happy for this reissue. Another great video, thank you.
The snowspeeder ! I never had went i was kid but 1995 they become par of my collection for 15 years until i let him go ! Becuse buy a new one ! But the firt one always be in my heart as my first Snowspeeder!
In my heart too! I love those vintage snow toys. :D
@@MichaelMercy i loved to! I live in the Caribbean i never see real snow all my 44 years but everything come from cold weather especially that toys ! And Star Wars and Gi Joe vintage brings me went i was kid the opportunity to imagining all kinds of adventure in the cold weather! Now as adults collectors one of my favorites items to collect is all the vintage vehicles and figures whose especially was artic warfare!
Omg nostalgia, I had one of these, with the spring loaded harpoon and the AT-AT. I made the mistake of bringing the AT-AT pilot to school... Someone stole him and chucked him into a field :(
Awesome video as always! Thanks for bringin back the memories :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I never noticed until the 2019 LEGO set that Luke‘s Snowspeeder has grey trim!!! I‘ve been into Star Wars for over 25 years now, and I never noticed :D
Cool video, cool retrospective. I never owned one, but I think a friend had the 1995 version, so it is a little familiar.
The Snowspeeder is hands down the best attack/battle flying vehicle from the Star Wars universe.
I own many rebel armored snow speeders spanning from original KENNER release to the updated vintage collection model. All have their selling points but I'm my opinion this version is the most fun. Yes, the harpoon cannon is far too large but the sound board on this model is exceptional and I prefer the size of this vehicle to the smaller modernized version. My original vintage speeders are special but very fragile and the electronics are extremely temperamental. This version is sturdy and holds up well to actual play. Thanks for this review
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed. I didn't know that about the vintage one, even more glad to have the POTF2 version now. :D
Still have my Power of the Force Snow Speeder too Michael!
Nice review! There is also a Vintage Collection Snowspeeder which I'm happy to have since i couldn't get an original as a kid.
I love all of the vintage star wars vehicles toy line. #starwarsforever
Yo! That's me in 1980 in the red shirt in the opening shot! :D
Hope you got a snowspeeder out of it.
@@MichaelMercy No complaints about the compensation. ;)
Cool!!!
I got that speeder off ebay not long ago. I love it, but am not a fan of the rear gun at all.
NOooOOoOOooOoo not the sounds of the Snow Speeder
One of the few ships I did not have
Regards to the electronic version, I had no battery corrosion yet I am unable to get mine working. I took the shell off & the wires look in place & clean terminals. Any suggestions?
Makes me sad that toys nowadays aren’t made with the same care or attention to detail like back then
