The Ghost is the only one I'm really debating. I like the series so far, but I try to limit my SW collecting to OT-only these days. I used to be real hardcore with SW up until AOTC when I finally said "This is too much" and purged most of my collection at the time. Now I'm much more selective. Also much easier on the wallet, that way.

However, the Slave 1 really irritates me. When on its "flight" stand, it's in its horizontal takeoff and landing position.

Yeah, I noticed that on the packaging. At least it is something that can be done by Slave I.

I guess a specially designed flight stand, one that would display the Slave 1 in its proper vertical flying position, was more effort than Mattel was willing to expend on a $5 vehicle, lol.
Regrettably, I never picked up Hasbro's Titanium Slave 1, so I'm curious as to whether Hasbro included a proper flight stand with that version.

IIRC, the stand worked the same way as Mattel's version. Although I wouldn't think it would require that much effort for Mattel to make a second stand type. What are they going to do when they get to the B-Wing?
