r5-j2 Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) The new Resistance X Wing is out ,so I took a couple of pics of it with it`s ancestor (on Planet Creda!). I don`t know if it is better than the series 1 version ,but like the original ,it is a very cute model and really only lacks an astro mech. I repositioned the grill piece behind the pilot and put a white stud on a jumper plate in it`s place for one of the fotos,so as to mimic a BB8 droid, but in hind-sight it doesn't look that great. For me , the pilot figure is probably the main reason for getting this set.....he is amazing and he has the clear visor as part of the helmet which also has some epic printing on it!

Vectormatic Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Oooh, you found the new microfighters? cool! I like the X-wing, except or the solid/flat engine openings did you also get the Tie-proto? I seem to remember you are a big fan of Ties Quote
BigEl Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I probably like the original one a bit more. I am not a fan of the new colorization and also i prefer the round design of the front engine section. Although the new one looks better from behind with a less blocky/clumsy build. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Wow, you're already get the new X-Wing microfighter? Hope that I'm as lucky as you........ Aside for that, I think that the new X-Wing microfighter looks nice, but I prefer the Snowspeeder microfighter more than this one. Quote
r5-j2 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Vectormatic ;-Our local ASDA has the Snow=speeder and the X-Wing along with a couple of the 2016 Battle packs.But I`m looking forward to the Ghost and also the TIE Advanced!(,which seem to be the next microfighter pairing for release) Edited December 14, 2015 by r5-j2 Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Yes that new resistance pilot is Awesome. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 The set glaringly lacks any sort of astromech, but the new Resistance pilot and those 1x1 round tiles in trans pink are so worth it! Quote
TheWorldAhead Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks for the mini-review! :) At first, I was very disappointed by the look of this set (no droid!) but now I'm totally psyched to get it in a few weeks. The only problem seems to be the split-engines, which shouldn't be solid, but I'm still working on a solution for that. R5, if you get a chance could you please take a picture of the new blue with the s-foils closed? Quote
r5-j2 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Here it is ,with foils closed,- the gap`s not too noticeable IMG_0090 by kenny burns, on Flickr Edited December 15, 2015 by r5-j2 Quote
