Unfortunately I have a lot cooking at work today so I'll have to process all the Hasbro PR pics tonight - for now, enjoy the TVC Luke Skywalker's X-Wing

Looks nice... this time I'm going to wait until you guys buy it for $99 and then I'll pick it up at a discount, instead of the other way around.
-
I love the box art. This is a wait and see for me, though. I love the ones I have (not that that ever stopped me).
-
This is amazing, but I already have the TRU exclusive. Depending on cost down the road, will pick up an opener or two to covert to Red Leader, Red 2, Red 4 and Red 6.
-
The only big X-Wing I have is the Dagobah one from like 2002, so I should upgrade to this.
-
I'm buying this beautiful bitch as soon as I see it. Luke's X-Wing isn't quite as much of a "character" as the Millenium Falcon, but it's a must-have vehicle, and while I have the Dagobah version, this one feels so much more ANH-inspired.

Same. I have the Dagobah one on display, and still really like it, but it would be nice to have a nice ANH one. I guess I do have the “Power FX” one from the POTF2 days, but this new one looks really nice. Might have to wait a bit at $100 though. The box on this is so, so nice.

I have too many of these dang things (1995 POTF2 Luke, 2002 Saga Luke, 2004 Red Leader, 2006 Dagobah, 2009 TLC Wedge, 2013 TVC Biggs) but like a dummy I will probably buy this $100 version because I am a hopeless romantic for OT vehicles. :D

That’s my position exactly... I’ve got the 2002 Saga Luke, 2006 Dagobah Luke, 2009 TLC Wedge, and 2013 TVC Biggs X-Wings as well, but I’ll probably pick up the Luke X-Wing if I see it just so I have the highly detailed version to go with the Biggs ship.

Looks good, and am I crazy or is the "glam" shot missing one of the engine intakes?!? :P

DOH!
This actually looks really good, engine intake issues aside. And when I did some searching I was surprised to see how long it had been since Luke's X-wing had been updated. I'm looking forward to seeing one of these photographed close up.

They should've made the box THE LAST JEDI and showed the toy underwater.
-
I smell a very clever custom package! ;D
-
Is this expected to be out this Friday, or is this a "later this year" type of thing? I'm interested in both this, and the Poe version, and was wondering if we should be on the lookout this week. As much as I'm looking forward to them both, I guess I'd be ok if they spaced them out a bit.

I'm pretty sure Jayson has it listed as Fan Channel only

Jeff, do you anticipate a sponsored Amazon link for this?

Will definitely like to see the difference in paint apps between this one and the trench run.
-
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!

I dunno. I have all my x-wings huddled together and the Biggs Red 3 and Trench Run Red 5 stand out from the previous mold based on the POTF F/X mold. The latest tooling is so good that, as I mentioned before, I'm very tempted to customize the previously released X-wings using the latest tooling. Yes, $100 is a lot, especially considering that the same tooling was half as much 8 years ago, but it's still high quality.
I will still always love the POTF F/X version though. There's something perfect about the engine lights.

Does anyone know if this is going to be available via Target.com at some point?

Got my shipping notice from Entertainment Earth.

Still waiting for my shipping notice. Hoping for a good deal to pick up an 2nd one for opening.
