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.

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.
