Though not a mini-rig this little number would be right at home within a Star Wars film (the hover vehicles in the Rebel base on Hoth looked rather similar) in fact, I'm surprised something like this wasn't introduced in ANH:SE.

Imp Troop Transport

I got that one Xmas as a kid and loved it, especially the 6 or so sampled quotes from the movies! "There's one set for stun" being my personal favourite. It's because of this vehicle that I built up my imperial stormtrooper army with much saved pocket money.

Also, this vehicle did turn up in the UK Marvel Star Wars comic, it's the strip where you see an imperial stormtrooper with no helmet - which at the time I thought was a big deal considering these guys were supposed to all be clones, even back then. Really significantly great artwork compared to the usual IIRC. It's by the same team (maybe even the same story) where vader is playing chess with some cthulhu looking betentacled thing. I have no idea what issue number or year ... I'll have to do some googling ...
