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?

[Jeff]

Got my shipping notice from Entertainment Earth. 

[Darth_Anton]

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

Looks like this one is being re-released...  due May 2025.

Straight up re-release?  I don’t know that I care about collecting incremental improvements to vehicles like I do with figures anyway, but it would be nice to have this be an easy pass since I have one.

Straight up re-release?

Can't tell for sure until it's released how different it will actually be as far as paint/deco, but the box art in the solicitation is the same as the 2019 version (Item # is same too - E6137).


Also, since Hasbro's already told us that the 2025 promo is "Return to Tatooine", it got me thinking about this X-Wing.  R2 uses Luke's X-Wing to give Grogu a ride back to The Mandalorian in TBOBF (very literally a return to Tatooine). Now my brain is secretly hoping for a BOBF Tatooine Hangar Bay/Peli Motto set to go along with this X-Wing and Mando's N-1.

Of course, I just overpaid (slightly) for the 2019 version a few months ago...

You could be our new Rob!

I would really appreciate someone taking that torch!

I don't want it. You keep it.
