Add a new vehicle to the list.
According to pc.ign.com this is the
Naboo Flash Speeder.
While you get it with the JTL pre-order, the open cockpit indicates it is another land vehicle. So it does not replace the yacht given to veteran players.
No word on performance specs. It isn't better than a landspeeder, many people will be
p-o'ed. If it is, than the millionaire AV-21 owners might get a bit torqued. Oh well, the AV-21 still has style (though this does look pretty good).

Look closely at the picture of the box.

LOL...I'm far from a millionaire, more like a thousandaire, and I have an AV-21, because I earned it on the corvette, and then dida bunch of loot runs to get my powerplant.

I earned my AV-21 on my first time to the Corvette. I almost pissed my pants when I saw it in the Astromech Droid... and whenabout 5-7 Super Battle Droidsspawned in the room later...
I had to pay 100k for my buddy to craft it, though. I always like to keep my AV-21's decay above 90%. Though, ifthis "Naboo Land Speeder" is real... unlike most box art... then I'll have to see what it can do.

W00t! I already pre-ordered. I think I'm going to open my own dealership. I already own an AV-21 and I hope this new one is faster. Mos-Espa circuit here I come.

The landspeeder has been changed. Originally it was the Flash Speeder, a powder blue landspeeder with a large gun mounted on the back of the speeder.
Unfortunately players seemed to think that meant it would fire...even though the speeder bike has a cannon and does not.
Since then, the speeder has been changed. The new one is grey and does not look like the flash speeder. (I'm not sure what type of speeder it is now, but it's no longer the Flash Speeder you can see at the Databank on Star Wars.com)

The one pictured in the link is the new one (that was a quick picture change on their part.)
Here is the original speeder that caused so many issues:

EDIT: Sigh, let's change the forum colours and titles but still leave it so sentences get spaced strangely.

I dont think they can have this one faster than the AV-21. Maybe slightly faster than the speederbike, and slower than a swoop.
See if it was faster than a swoop and better than an av-21 in terms of terrain negotiation this would unbalance the chance for players to get the race badges.
Not saying that SOE made this game to focus around the race badges but it would be nice to know that everyone can have a chance.

Ah darn it. I usually hate pre-ordering. I am more for instant gratification lol. But I will pre-order to get the speeder. I'd kill for an AV-21 but I'm not quite high enough to do the Corvette and I can't afford the AV-21. Anyone want to sell one for like 100k (Yeah that'll happen)

Yep =( But thank you for the thought at least.
Does anyone know if you only get this from EB?
