That in such great condition Lars. Looks sweet.

Thanks mate, yes I guess I was lucky when I bought it to get a nice white one

OK, here's mine. It's not as lovely as yours, Lars, but I'm not complaining either. Mine's a Palitoy example bought from Jim Stevenson back in the 90's, so I've had it a while.

The Imperial Shuttle really is a beautiful ship, IMHO. I loved the design from the first time I saw it in Jedi, and I love it still. An elegant, almost delicate design. I'm still staggered that Kenner made one for the 4 inch line, all the more so as it came out as the line's popularity was starting to wane. Yes, like many Kenner ships it's grotesquely undersized of course, but let's face it, they really didn't do a bad job with this one! It looks like it's supposed to, and the fact they even incorporated the moving wings still brings a smile to my face today! :-D

Wow nice shuttle, I only thought there was kenner shuttles, nice to know there is also a palitoy shuttle, very cool 8) I agree kenner did a great job with the shuttle

Thanks for sharing it :wink:

Lovely ships chaps - still never seen one of these in the flesh

Andy, You have to have one of this, the ship is so cool

But it takes a ****ing lot of space

A fantastic armada of Shuttles guys all in amazing condition.
Not a yellow one to be seen!
I love this ships design but it's too big for my collection space I'm afraid, so I'm unable to add to this one.

Lovely. Would like to get one someday but no sure what I'd sacrifice to make a space for it!

Thanks mate, well buy one, when you have it, then you find the room. I still find room for new things that I buy. Then I begin to look at my other items that I never use and put them up for sale. Last year I started to sell most of my new line star wars, I have not looked at them for 10 years and they did not mean anything to me anymore so out with them. Today I found a 4 slice toaster in a kitchen closet, I have had it for years and never used it, why then keep it, now that one is also for sale and the other day I found an electric knife in a box in the kitchen, I have had it for 20 years and never used it, that one is also for sale now :lol:

Amazing shuttles that you have and they look fantastic with that army of imperials and the kenner death star 8) Thanks for sharing the pictures :wink:

No worries mate, cheers

I'm not sure why I never got a shuttle. I wasn't hugely into vehicles (which is why I never bought the cheap B-wings in ASDA!) but it seems like an obvious late SW xmas present from my parents. They had done AT-AT and Falcon in consecutive years, then an X-Wing and Tie Interceptor...

Though thinking about it, I am not sure I actually saw it in our local ASDA (and frankly if it wasn't there or the shopping catalogue, I wouldn't have got it anyway)

I think it is a cool ship and I remember it from some fantastic scenes in ROTJ, when vader came to the new death star and later the emperor. Also the rebels used the shuttle to land on endor and the empire used the shuttle to transport vader to endor and later vader and luke back to the death star. But the most fantastic scene for me is when the emperor came to death star, to see the shuttle land and the huge army waiting for him, awesome.

I have no memory of this existing as a toy when I was a child but I'd still love to get one as it's just such a cool ship and is awesome in the film
