Since the beginning of the license, many vehicles such as the x wing or TIE fighter have had several iterations made over the years, and each iteration has usually brought more detail and more accuracy to the vehicles the sets are emulating.
But with higher detail, comes more pieces, and with higher piece counts, come higher prices.
As of writing this, the newest iteration of the X wing has come in the form of 75149 Resistance X-Wing Fighter at 740 pieces retailing at $79.99 and released summer 2016 ,compared to 7140-1 X-wing Fighter at 266 pieces retailing at 29.99 USD.
Although the newer set is the far superior version, it does cost 80 dollars and it really sucks for people w=ho want a Lego X Wing fighter but aren’t able to lay the $80 for it.
This problem has happened with many vehicles such as the TIE fighter, Imperial shuttle, soon with the AT-ST coming out for rogue one, and the slave 1.
So with this In mind, wouldn’t it be great if Lego made smaller and less detailed versions of some of these larger vehicles, for prices such as 20-50 USD, that have fitting piece counts for the prices, can fit a minifigure in the cockpit for people who want a Lego version of these iconic vehicles but are on a tighter budget?
It would also be great if yall gave your opinion on this and maybe even discuss how these vehicles could be built!
