Best action figure vehicles according to redditors

I got it on Amazon! But beware, it is much larger than you think. Definitely not a shelf item unless you have a very big space to display it!

Finally got one of these bitchin' gunships. Wanted one for over ten years since I saw the 2003 Clone Wars.

Not OP, but think this is it;

Batmobile

Batwing

Better yet, Micro Machines, like the classic Star Trek set.

Is this on a budget? Or just wondering what to get first? I'll link everything I name to Amazon, just so you can see what they look like and to see the rough pricing. You might have to change the url to your respective country's though.

It might look like a wall of text but I'm very brief on each ship here. The bottom will give you the best explanation. Please feel free to ask any questions about the various ships. I own at least one of each ship I name and have used them all at least once.

You could first invest in Squadrons. Rebel Fighter Squadrons Expansion Pack I, and Imperial Fighter Squadrons Expansion Pack I. Then there's also the Rogues and Villains Expansion Pack which includes ships for both factions. Such as the Millienium Falcon and Slave I.

For ships, it all depends on what you want your fleet to work as. Want large capital ships? Go for an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer, and a Calamari Cruiser, to which there are two options. The Home One Cruiser and the Liberty version. Easiest way of differentiating the two? Home One is slower and fires from it's flanks, Liberty is faster and spews out its attacks from it's front hull. All three are of course super fun to play, though they take a little more skill to manuever effectively. I rarely use fleets that lack my Star Destroyer Basilisk or my Home One Cruiser Allusis. My two favourite ships to use.

Want something smaller? Try an Assault Frigate or two. Great ships. They can lead fleets well as Flagships or support larger capital ships. Another invaluable Rebel ship is Mc30c Frigate. Fast, and deadly at close range. I rarely play Rebels, but when I do I always use this ship, along with the Assault Frigate or the Home One.

For the Empire you have lots of options. You can add a second Victory-Class Star Destroyer to your fleet, along with the core set Victory. They work pretty well, are easy enough to move around, and look cool. Want something up close and personal? The Gladiator-Class Star Destroyer is one of the most popular medium sized Imperial ship. Manueverable, deadly at close range, and very effective title cards.

Now lets talk Corvettes and Cruisers. Out of everything here I'm going to 100% suggest you buy at least one Arquitens Light Cruiser. Comes with great cards, works well as a Squadron carrier, picket ship, you name it. One fun and easy fleet I play is two or three Arquitens with a Gladiator, or two Arquitens and two Gladiators. They all fire from their flanks, so you line them up in a conga line like a convoy and fire salvos into your enemy. For something smaller the Raider-Class Corvette moves around the board fast, can move squadrons around, but is kind of hard to use unless you have experience with it. Still a very cool ship to own, I like using at least one when I run larger Capital ship fleets. Allows me to manuever my ISDs into space while also having something really fast to close gaps and push fighters around.

For the rebels there's options, depending on which flank you want to fire from. Front? Get another Nebulon-B. It comes with the Salvation and Yavaris title cards, which perfect the Nebulon-B. Corellian Corvettes are also good options. Side arcs? The MC30c Frigate.

Lastly lets quickly talk more speciality ships. I don't have any experience with Rebel Squadron dedicated carriers, but I do with the Imperial Quasar Fire-Class Cruiser Carrier. This thing exists solely to push Squadrons around the board. Know how to use it and you can wreck enemy fleets, make a bad move with it and it'll get torn to shreds ruining your strategy.

There exist two ships called Flottilas, they are very cheap and also exist solely as Squadron movers. They are the Gozanti Cruisers and Rebel Transports respectively.

That's the bulk of most of the ships. There are a couple others like the Hammerhead Corvettes and the Second wave of Squadron expansions, but these are harder to play with (in my opinion) and I'll let someone else tell you about them. Bottom line, it depends what kind of fleet you like playing. Squadron heavy? Look at Carriers and Squadron expansions. Classic ships? Go for a Star Destroyer or Star Cruiser. Want lots of ships in your fleet with lots of options? Get a bunch of Light Cruisers and Gladiators, and the various Rebel Frigates and Corvettes.

Edit: Forgot about the Interdictor-Class Star Destroyer. A personal favourite for casual games, but really hard to use competitively. A very expensive ship point-wise, and not very powerful attack wise. It has some cool abilities, like forcing enemy ships to change speeds, but that's about it. Shame really, this is by far my favourite looking ship.

If you'd like a more assertive answer. Buy the two Squadron expansions I. They come with classic ships like TIE Advanced, Interceptors and Bombers. And The Y-Wing, A-Wing, and B-Wings. Get one or two Light cruisers and one or two Nebulon-Bs. And if money isn't a problem get a Star destroyer and a Star Cruiser.

The Fujimi 917 has a few "nuances" that make it a little more difficult than a total beginner build. It's mostly good, and doesn't have much in the way of engine detail, which makes it good for starting out. However, it's got a multi-piece body that's hard to fit together straight. The clear parts also have no tabs for glue, making their installment very fiddly. Also, the long stripe decals are a hassle to put on. It'd be a good kit to tackle after getting one build under your belt.

If you're interested in Le Mans cars, I'd recommend starting out with -

Revell Corvette C7.R - Simple assembly, single-piece glass, one-color body.

Hasegawa Toyota 88C - One-piece body and low parts count

Hasegawa Porsche 962C - Ditto

Tamiya Toyota GT-One - More complicated and has a lot of engine detail, but the build is really straightforward and it comes with a paint mask for the body.

It's $68 on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/DC-Collectibles-Batman-Animated-Batmobile/dp/B00VHUWZPK

It’s a little hidden. For whatever reason, it doesn’t show up when searching on Amazon, only through Google searches.

They're also great post-it notes too. Get this to round out the whole aesthetic.

This looks like a Bruder forklift to me, you can find them here on Amazon.

CamelCamelCamel shows that the Imperial Raider has been holding at $89 since mid february and it has recently dropped down to $76 (15% drop). It seems that around the holiday season it's price wildly fluctuates from around $80 to as low as $54, but $76 seems like its lowest between-holidays price.

Miniature Market: $85

CoolStuffInc: $85

This isn't by any measure the lowest this ship will get, but if you're hoping to get it in the next 6 months or so this might be the lowest price you'll find.

Not commenting on its playability in epic (as I don't play epic) the Imperial Raider offers the following for the X-Wing player: New Tie Advanced Pilots, four of the TIE/x1 title card, and the almighty Emperor Palpatine.

If you have no interest in playing Imperial then this ship offers nothing to you, and if you're interested in only playing competitively it doesn't offer much on that front either. Vader w/ TIE/x1 has been out of favor in the meta for a while now with the popularity of stress control and Emperor Palpatine was hit pretty hard with a nerf some time back. However Emperor Palpatine and Vader still do have their places in competitive lists occasionally and both are fantastic in casual play.

If you're wanting to fly the TIE Advanced and / or utilize a Palpmobile with the Epsilon / Upsilon shuttle and you're wanting to do it soon then this is a decent discount at $10 off the MM / CSI prices. However if you're not in a rush then I'd wait for the holiday / Black Friday season where you can get this for much, much cheaper.

I have one as well (also the 2017 & 2015 cars). Bought it from Amazon.
Got to say I love every minute of looking at them.

A-Wings are pretty essential.
B-Wings are super fun!

All this endless looking, are you asking your game store???

In addition, I may be crazy here, but... Amazon America does it for way cheaper, it's $24 currently.

OP said TDKR was a snug fit but he's definitely one of the bigger 6" figures I'm sure all the other would fit even better

BvS batmobile

Batman TAS posted below and you said you didn't like the '66 version

Depending on where you live, a little cheaper than Lego (and sales are possible) They have lots of military tanks, planes, boats, etc.

They looked too small when I saw them in a shop.

However these are great scale, though a bit expensive

My proudest accomplishment as a dad (other than keeping the little guy alive for two years and counting) is making a Trekkie out of him. He started asking for "Entapwize!" a few months ago, and said "Stah....Tek!" last week. Of course, every time he does, I treat it like he's done the best thing ever, thus reinforcing the behavior. :evil grin: He gets totally excited whenever he sees the Enterprise on the screen, can hum the NextGen theme (kinda) and loves the Enterprise light-up toy I got him for his birthday.

This looks like it might work out perfectly. Someone in the reviews posted images of the U-wing with IA minis, and as the legion guys are about a head taller, it looks it works really well. Only downside is the price, ($35), but with the untimely demise of toys r us, finding one out on liquidation sale shouldn't be difficult (at least, my local one had a bunch the other day).

Yup, they do a Mk V. It's a a little on the pricier side but looks like a fun build:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamiya-300030057-35-WWI-British-Motor/dp/B00KGMT6AC

I know that at $150 USD it may seem like a steep price, but my wife got this for me on Christmas the year it launched (at $250) and I have had 0 reasons to be upset or disappointed with that price tag. It's completely faithful inside and out to what I believe is the season 1 look, it lights up, has functional seatbelts and a sliding canopy, and looks fucking awesome. 10/10, if you want more BTAS in your life this is a must have. Bonus: it fits all standard 6" BTAS figures in the same product line.

The Batplane is next on my most wanted list. Maybe one day it'll be in stock new or VG+ somewhere that isn't $300+.

Here you go! It's a simple yet detailed build and comes with a motor and workable tracks.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Enterprise-Iconic-Vehicle/dp/B001KPKMKW

This is from the 2009 film, you should snatch one up before it's gone. No assembly required, has lights and sounds and is reasonably detailed.

Maybe my kids aren't that creative or I just haven't shown them how to build cars and planes and stuff with their Legos, but my guess is: if they get the magformers, they might build the structure on the picture once or twice and then that's it. They make really simple "planes" and "cars" meaning they put two pieces together and tie a string around it or something and say, "look I made a car!" So the magformers would be a no go for me. Not for that price point atleast!

My kids love their magnatiles so I would probably pick the wheel bases for that, but I'm not sure if they'd build cool cars with them or anything. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, they just use their regular toy cars and stuff with the magnatiles. They basically make crazy multilevel garages with bridges and ramps for their cars and play house. The wheel bases for the magnatiles might not really add much to their play, but that's my kids. Maybe find a friend with the magformers and see how they like them? Lol

We have this set of vehicles that come apart with screws and a battery operated screw driver that they love. Of course they lose the pieces and then leave them everywhere... But if you're not set on adding to the magnet sets, you might consider something like that? It was from the learning resource center or something like that (it was a gift). It was similar to this but it has a battery operated drill

Anyway. Sorry if that wasn't as helpful as you'd hoped! Each kid is different and honestly... I'm trying to pare down on our toys since they only really play with a few toys anyway. They used to love Legos. Love love love them! But the magnatiles took over. Maybe Magnatiles are too easy and I should push Legos on them more, but eh....... I'm too tired.

Anyway good luck!

The Lambda Shuttle, Slave 1, Millenium Flacon, Outrider, Blockade Runner, and Imperial Raider (Bigger imperial ship with Tie Fighter looking bits) are all from the X-Wing Miniatures Game.

The Imperial Class and smaller Victory Class Star Destroyers are from Star Wars Armada.

Executor is from an old game, I believe it was called Star Wars Battles.

I also just ordered the Rebel Transport from X-Wing, and the Nebulon B Frigate and Home One from Armada.
