Rebel Transport Vehicle (blue box) | |
Sometimes referred to as "that weird pickle ship," the Rebel Transport was not much more than a glorified carrying case. Grossly out of scale vis-a-vis the vehicle seen in The Empire Strikes Back, the toy's roof removed to reveal a score of compartments meant to aid in "transporting" your figures from place to place. It also included a cannon mount, which could be taken out of the toy, as well as 4 gas masks and 5 backpacks, identical to those included in Kenner's Survival Kit mail-away.
The Rebel Transport was issued in two different boxes, one with a yellow photo background and another with a blue background. It isn't too easily found in great condition, either loose or packaged, but it's never been very popular with collectors. |
