According to the usually reliable source Just2Good we'll get a new Clone Turbo Tank with set number 75151.

I don't see anything Clone related really being a good seller for them, so I don't understand why.

 

Stand by to pick up @ 40 percent off in a year or two? 

Yeah, a remake of the 8098 Clone Turbo Tank from 2010... Makes you wonder: WHY ??? 

Brickfanatics visited the London Toy Fair and says about this set:

• 75151 clone turbo tank – £99.99
  built-in handle and some decent suspension. 6 minifigs.

The description by Brickset is more detailed, and makes me even less interested in this set:

I am quite disappointed by this set. The model is significantly smaller than 8098 Clone Turbo Tank, using these wheel elements which are moulded in dark bluish grey and capped with six stud wide dish elements. The suspension is similar to earlier versions of the Juggernaut and many of the play features are familiar too. An AT-RT can be placed inside the main hold and there are firing missiles mounted on both sides. The most interesting new function is the raising lookout tower which is controlled using a gear inside the tank. This works perfectly and is faithful to the movie but at the cost of its appearance which is spoiled by the visible gear racks.

The minifigure selection is equally mediocre in my view, consisting of a Clone Scout Trooper, Commander Gree, two Battle Droids, Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. The last two of those are the most appealing but both have appeared in sets before, albeit with Star Wars: The Clone Wars styling.

I still prefer the 1st Turbo Tank (If I performed a crash test with the others, it would surely win). The Mace (Light-up or non Light-up) & Kashyyyk (w/ that cool speeder) were great minifigs.

Has any BPers bought this one yet?  Thoughts?  

I've seen a few of these on the shelves at walmart, but haven't jumped on it yet.  But, it's tempting me, but i'll probably wait until they are around mid 80s to buy one.  It definitely looks the most screen accurate of the CTT's.  

I'll look to buy one for my personal collection when the price drops a little, too. It's an impressive looking beast.

I bought it, but haven't built it yet. I'm waiting to reward the kiddo.

Only opened the set but didn't build it. A definite plus is the absence of stickers. Also, I really like the new minifigure versions of Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos.

Jangbricks review:

 

 

Just curious but would it be a good investment if I could pick these up for $70 out the door?

 

 

I picked one up after christmas for $30 off at Target, it was for my sons birthday, not investment.

In nine months or so, maybe, but I'd still aim for $60 or below.  The Turbo Tank is not an AT-AT.

I've purchased 4 in the past week for $59.  I would let them sit.  If they're at WM or Target, check each morning to see if the price dropped.  If it does, arm sweep them.  If it doesn't, I don't think you'll kick yourself for missing them at that price.  Not in the next year or so, anyways.

I'm seeing several around me at WM for $79 but they are not moving fast at that price. I'll wait to see if they drop a little more. I really want the Quinlan Vos fig!!!

They're not moving at $79 around here either.  It doesn't help that the online price everywhere is $79 too.

Was this really at 19.99 on amazon.uk a while ago today? Anyone manage to get one?

Where are you seeing this exactly?

Brickset have it in their list of daily discounts. Must have been a false positive or a dodgy turd party seller/scammer, I guess.

Buy and hold. Should be good for December 17 or 18. But you have to get them at $70 or less. And I'm sure there'll be more remakes. But I did ok on the previous version. Sold them for $200 prior to this remake

I managed to pick one up for $50.00 at WM. I think Ill do fine at that price.
