this seems to be based after the yavin x-wing. if thats true i dont think the R2 unit has a name. he didnt get the R5 mynock (aka gate) until the reformation of rogue squadron in 6 ABY.
I got mine at zellers for $50+ canadian mine came a tad broken the back piece the grey part where you move the tab for s foil positioning, was askew so down the right side i gad a very noticable gap. so i pulled it apart and fixed it but alas my front landing gear keeps swinging down un wantedly:( and the r2 unit won't stay in if you turn the ship upside down....
Re: The seat: It seems that they didn't actually do away with the seat hatch, they just assembled it differently, by hinging it on the other side, so that it folds back and not forward. My guess is that this was either A) a screw up on Hasbro's part, or, B) a conscious choice to make it easier to fit this particular figure in. I disassembled mine and corrected the seat hinge so it's positioned just like all the other x-wings of this mold. Looks a lot better and the figure sits better.
That was an R5 unit...they had "flowerpot" style heads. Think the one that blew up near the Jawa Sandcrawler in ANH (which Luke mistakenly called an R2)
Really nice. I have the Luke Dagobah XWing but have not taken it out of packaging. Although I have been very tempted to. It sits next to my loose Big Millenium Falcon. The size and detail of this XWing is superb.
Quite a nice vehicle. Makes me wonder why they went to all that effort and were lazy with the seat and the naming of the R2 unit, but it's still quite good.
I just want to say that I look forward to each of your reviews. Yours and supreme's reviews are my favorite. I know you mostly original trilogy, but the ARC-170 fighter is just a great fighter and predecessor to the X-Wing. It would make for a great review.
@dalekbitch If you think about it, those two figures included would cost like $14 separately, so the ship is really only like $30. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway. =P
Awesome!It looks even better than i thought it would.Its still £69.99 over here i was going to wait for a price drop but dont think i can now :) As always Excellent review 5/5
I gotta get this!! Any Target will sell this? Wedge #1!!

Wow.
This looks much better than Luke's X-Wing back in '06. I actually regret buying that vehicle now.
This one looks much better accessory and figure-wise.

the wings are sagging a bit, can you fix that?
molover63 2 years ago
If there is a way, I haven't found it yet. I think I'll leave them alone, as they don't sag as much as the Red Leader X-Wing.

I saw that at my Target with the same price cut. Good thing for Alaskans that target doesn't gauge us with shipping costs like a lot of stores do.
Also, I recently got the OTC Wedge on Ebay. I am supprised they didn't just fo a repack of him.
Very good review.

Im glad i picked this up but at 69.99 in the UK it smacks of a rip off, nice vehicle just not worth the price
planko55 2 years ago
Agreed, especially when they still sell the Dagobah X-Wing at £40 which is £30 less AND you get more stuff with the Dagobah X-Wing AND a bigger box!
Nice review though Dave!
