wow I never new eFX was so hated already, as I said its not a confirmed price, you never know the toy might be cheaper? I'm holding out for quite a nice paint job, I know a little bit about painting & my MR Falcon I have to say is pretty damn nice. I know there are few dodgy ones but they can do it if they want. The Y wasn't up to much but I think Bryan & the gang had learned from that. If its just OK then thats what it is but the hours needed to paint one of these as an identical replica is immense. Ive seen the Icons X-Wing up close & its got to be better than that (pretty naff). If I remember right the Icons X was going for over $2000 last year on ebay? Efx have something to prove with this X-wing & I hope they do, if they dont then isn't great that people have the choice of a V3 thats painted over a course of 4 weeks to look like an original ILM model...........hmmmmm. Who has the biggest shopping trolly's Wall Mart or Macys or Harrods? Who cares, you shop where you can afford to shop & why dont people pick on lego I mean come on there X-wing is a joke...a child could do that!
As for the cockpit opening, how else are you going to put the Luke pilot figure in it that GG are making for it, as EFX dont have the license to make these its a pretty clever idea. Dont forget rich people buy these things to put in there office not just us prop nerds. We aren't their only market, its not all about us.
Even if it is naff I really hope it sells out so they can move forward and do other SS stuff, since Rich has pulled the plug on the Slave 1 kit it seems EFX 'may' be our only hope (no pun intended) if the X sells bad this is less likely to happen for sure & I would like an SS slave 1 with or without a good paint job, so come on efx do us proud. Much nicer than come on efx let us down.
Oh yeh and efx if its ok with you can you try not to make any profit on your x-wing so people can afford it, cos there is no other options for some people?
Not everybody gets it right all the time! have you heard Van Halen 3?
