11/21/2002 |
A new list of Star Wars toys for 2003 has popped up on The Private Universe. This list is totally unconfirmed but it seems more genuine than the usual rumors that float around. The list contains a ton of Action Fleet, both new and rehashed, including:- Republic Gunship

- Troop Transport
- Walker Droid
- Anakin's Speeder
- Zam's Speeder
- Jedi Starfighter
- Star Destroyer
- A-Wing Starfighter
- Mon Calamari Cruiser
- Desert Skiff and Jaba the Hutt
- Cloud Car with Pilot
- Gian Speeder with Captain Panaka
- Hoth Encounter
- Arena Battle
- Droid Fighters
If this list of new AFs is accurate, we'll be seeing the best vehicles from AOTC in Action Fleet scale within a year! |

| Wave 2 Photos and Falcon Inscription |
11/11/2002 |
| Boxed photos of Wave 2 (Solar Sailer, Naboo Fighter, AT-TE) have been added to the SWAF Archive. GoodShotJansen from the sirstevesguide.com forum was also nice enough to snap a photo of the infamous Jim Fong inscription from inside of the Millennium Falcon. This photo can now be found in the Millennium Falcon page in the SWAF Archive. |

| Nine AFs in 2003! |
10/17/2002 |
Britcit3 from the sirstevesguide.com forum was able to get a question in to a Hasbro UK Star Wars brand manager during a webchat on hasbrojedi.co.uk and he confirmed that there are currently plans for nine Action Fleet ships to be released in 2003. Sicqnus, another forum member, posted a list of the rumored nine ships:- Tie fighter (rehash)
- Slave I (rehash)
- Republic Gunship
- Acclamator class destroyer (Troop transport)
- Jedi Starfighter (without ring)
- IG Clan "Firewall wheeling droid" (Hailfire)
- Naboo H-type (Padme's Yacht)
- Federation "Homing spider droid"
- Slave One (Jango's)

| "What a piece of junk!" |
10/15/2002 |
| I found a Solar Sailer at Walmart the other day. It is possibly the worst Action Fleet toy ever made. I am so unmoved by it that I haven't even taken the time to snap a photo for the Archive yet. Once I find the other two ships from Wave 2 I'll bring out the camera and snap some photos. The Solar Sailer is going back to the store though so I'll only have a 'boxed' photo of it unless some "lucky" Solar Sailer owner wants to send me some loose pics of it. |

| Waves Three and Four Confirmed |
9/27/2002 |
| Wave 3 is confirmed and will consist of repainted versions of the Imperial AT-AT and Rebel Snowspeeder. Sick of rehashes? You'll be happy to know that wave 4 is confirmed and will include the Republic Gunship, Troop Transport, and Jango Fett's Slave 1 (which is a rehash of sorts). The Gunship is my personal favorite from AOTC but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for my second favorite: the Jedi Starfighter! |

| Wave Two Is Away |
9/26/2002 |
| Keep your eyes peeled for new Saga Action Fleet wave 2. Dooku's Solar Sailer, the AT-TE, and battle damaged Naboo Fighter should be hitting the shelves any day now. A set was already sold out of Japn on eBay which means they should be popping up on the shelves very soon. |

| New Action Fleet Products Are Hitting the Shelves |
8/18/2002 |
| This isn't totally new news but since this is day one of this site I've got to start it off with the biggest Action Fleet news of the year, right? Keep your eyes open for the repainted versions of the Millennium Falcon, X-Wing, and TIE Fighter Advanced x1 (formerly Darth Vader's TIE Fighter). Also to be had are the Target stores exclusive two-packs. Collectors are referring to these as Battle Packs since the assortment contains repainted vehicles and beasts from previously released Battle Packs in the Classic line. Photos of the new Action Fleet products can be found in the SWAF Archive. Happy hunting! |
