Vintage Star Wars Landspeeder

Well, you've gone and done it. You've found us. Based on recent traffic, it looks like we're getting mildly popular. If this is your first time here, you'll notice pretty quickly that we feature a lot of Star Wars vintage action figures around here. I try to be fair in my coverage, but some I like more than others, a good example being Star Wars ships, which I have a  particular weakness for!

Luke Skywalker's transportation mode on planet Tatooine is the X-34 landspeeder, which hovers above the ground thanks to three repulsorlifts powered by turbines that keep the craft hovering and propel it forward. Most landspeeders, especially on a dry planet like Tatooine, have closed cockpits, but Luke's is open due to mechanical failure.
