I like the themed nature of this wave as well and wish it would happen more often.  I’m more likely to buy a case of figures if I know I’m going to get all new items, not one or two new items and a bunch of repacks.

That new AT-ST looks good
Does it seem to have harder or softer plastic than some of the earlier releases?  The last TVC version of the AT-ST used a soft plastic that tended to warp over time, making it difficult to keep the walker standing.  I’m hoping that’s not the case with this!

Well, the latest trailer certainly confirms a lot of the JediPaxis spoilers from Reddit...

I was thinking the same thing 

I stopped by a local Walmart last night to see what was left after Friday and they had the Jabba’s Palace set.  I didn’t get it as it’s not quite my cup of tea, but it was there at the store.

One issue with mine is the bottom left turret is rotated about 45 degrees off-center. I've seen some similar issues from others that have had this. Since I bought on Amazon, I'm tempted to go the replace item route, and swap out the turret from the replacement. Has anyone ever returned/replaced Star Wars items through Amazon? Do you have an overlap, or do you have to send yours in first? I had contacted Hasbro directly, and they wanted me to send it in first and wait for a replacement. I'd rather not have to deal with it twice though.

My X-Wing had the off-center cannon as well, but I was able to twist it into the correct position with a pair of pliers. 

However, Amazon also has an excellent return/refund policy that is very easy to use and very generous.  I actually just did a return for a Star Wars Black Series 6” Emperor Palpatine & Throne set where the box came severely damaged in shipping.  Under the listing for an order, there is a button for returns that will give you several choices, including returning an item for a refund, return and replace an item, etc.  If you choose to return and replace an item, Amazon will provide you a QR code. You can then take the returning item to a Kohl’s or UPS store, show them the QR code and they will pack and ship the item at no cost to you.  When you choose the return/replace option, Amazon will automatically send you a replacement item, frequently shipping that same day.  I did the return/replace option for the Emperor figure on Friday and the replacement is arriving today. 

Has anyone opened their Poe X-Wing yet? I’m curious to hear what everyone thinks about it...

I opened mine last night and it is an impressive and highly detailed piece. Certainly one of the best X-Wings done for the Star Wars line to date.  Really, it’s more of a model than a toy and totally designed for the discerning adult collector rather than a child. It is not simply a repaint of the smallish TFA X-Wing toy. The ship is about the same size as the large OT X-Wing, so as can be seen in the box photos, it’s under-scaled, but still pretty large overall. The construction is pretty solid and the wing extension mechanism seems fairly robust.  The wings don’t seem to be too prone to warping, but there is a slight sag to them.  Perhaps flying or tightening a couple screws might fix that... The guns may require some bending to get into the proper parallel position when the wings are closed.  The paint work over the entire model is excellent and the weathering (basically a panel lines highlighting and wash) is just right.

The awesome part with this model is the attention to detail and variety of working features.  The cockpit has all the controls detailed, including a full control stick and pilot’s seat. The instrument hood swings up so a figure can be inserted easily. The TVC Poe Dameron figure fits in easily - as this is a large figure, I would suspect most other pilots will fit.  Behind the cockpit, A cover pulls off over the droid socket to allow one to insert a droid figure. Either a BB-8 figure or full R2 unit figure can fit.  The upper port engine has an opening access panel. Under the fuselage, the cargo compartment opens and the boarding ladder is stored there.  The ladder can be removed and mounted in a couple small holes under the fuselage so a pilot can “climb” into the ship.  The landing gear (nose & main gears) are fully retractable, fold up into their respective bays, and are fully covered by the bay doors. The main gears are designed to rotate to fit into their bay properly.  It’s a neat feature, but the plastic used seems a tad soft and I wonder how long they will hold up in the long run...

Overall, I am very impressed with this model.  It’s great to have a large and highly-detailed X-Wing model as well as a properly-done starfighter from the Sequel Trilogy.  Even if you’re not wild about the new films, this X-Wing is worth picking up 

After failing to find Poe’s X-Wing at multiple Walmart’s and Targets, I ordered it on Amazon.  The price was at retail, I have free prime shipping, and they included a small discount coupon...  Not bad.  Then I saw Corman’s post about the X-Wing being at Barnes and Noble, so I went and checked my local store and there it was.  I still get an educators discount there, which knocked 20% off the price, so I got the X-Wing for a little over $86 By then it was too late to cancel the Amazon X-Wing order. I’m not sure if I’ll hang onto it or return it when it comes.

I’m kind of torn on this X-Wing...  I didn’t get the Trench Run version, but got the TVC Biggs X-Wing that uses the same tooling.  While the new fuselage and detailed cockpit are quite nice, the wings and main landing gear remain basically unchanged from the POTF electronic X-Wing from over 20 years ago and are dated...  If they changed that part of the model, it would be fantastic.  Otherwise, I may just stick with my 1/30 scale Revell X-Wing kit, which is actually bigger than the TVC model!
