Hasbro Hero Series 1:18 Scale X-Wing with Heavy Mods

I was just reminded over in a different forum that the x-wing pyros used for filming in ANH had a larger-opening set of wings (the "X" was larger) than the hero models. I *believe* the screen caps posted above were of hero models, but I can't be certain. Just FYI... I'm not gonna use mine as a pyro and blow it up after I'm finished. :lol
 
Just picked one up at Wally World on sale for $36.00.
I'm thinking of getting another one and modifying it into a "G" powered rocket. A Maxier Brute!

Pulling my stuff off this thread. Sorry should have started with my own thread to begin with.

Thanks for taking the lead on this Troy. I grabbed two of them at Target last week. One is already out and on display. The other is still in the box until I get ready to mod it similar to what your doing. I noticed on the one I assembled is that you have two option to put it together. One is so that it looks good from above, or putting the wings and laser pods on a different combination the wings look good from below hanging from a wire. But the engine exhaust pods still have open holes in the bottom, so the hanging it from the ceiling view is still not perfect. If you have not bought this yet, the wings and laser tubes are only finished on one side and hollow on the back from the injection molding process. $40 bucks will only buy you so much... But still very worth it.
 
Just picked up a late Christmas present for myself, This build is looking awesome, keep up the good work Troy.

Going to be following this thread and using it as an instruction manual :D. Asda in the UK have dropped it to £18, I can afford to completely mess this build up at that price.
 
TIP FOR UK MEMBERS

Larger ASDA stores are now selling these at £10.....they have £30 reduced from £50 on the stickers but they are definitely £10 as a friend has picked one up for me. I suspect they weren't shifting and ASDA need the shelf space. Grab them while you can....
 
£10!? And here I am in Norway and can't even find it in stores. I've only yet found the X-Wing

Edit: oh, I thought I was in the Falcon thread. My bad
