jaisonline Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Major Update below from the comments sections, looks like the set will contain BB-8, Flametrooper, Poe wearing Finn's jacket (well, it's Finn's jacket now) and a 4th minifigure which might be Max Von Sydow's character Lor San Tekka. It looks like set 75102 "Poe's X-Wing Fighter" will be getting a wingman to help battle First Order Tie Fighters by the Summer of 2016. Lego reviewer and insider Just2Good recently published information on two rumored Lego sets and a X-Wing set is among them. A smaller Jakku-themed set is the other set. My thoughts... We can probably expect a white / light gray with blue themed X-Wing. While the set # isn't known, expect the set to be named , "Resistance X-Wing” and it should be priced similarly to 75102’s $79.99. There could be 2-3 different groups of minifigures included. It depends which planet Lego chooses to use as the setting: Jakku, D'Qar, Starkiller Base (unknown ice planet name) or Takodana. If Jakku, expect Poe and BB-8 to highlight the set. I doubt the latter will be the used due to set 75102 availability. This new set more likely will include another pilot such as Greg Grunberg's character, Snap Wexley along with an Astromech Droid plus 1-2 other minifigures. source : just2good, http://youtu.be/kkEATHDl1K8 View full blog article 1 Quote

jaisonline Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I'm hoping the wings are improved and they swap the blue rubber-bands for white ones. 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 To fit into the Rogue's movie next year? I don't think so as "Resistance" is in the rumored name. Quote
fossilrock Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Bet it will be Atsy's X-wing. Regardless, does this, or could this mean that Poe's X-wing is finished? It's the only one showing signs that it could be a short run set. Quote

It's the only one showing signs that it could be a short run set. Atsy, Nien Numb or a generic pilot is def a possibility. Even that one big headed alien that died (forget his name.). Quote
Pseudoty Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 So are we thinking in addition to this one? Quote

thoroakenfelder Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 What are the odds that there's another OT X-Wing on the not to distant horizon for Rogue One.? If so, that would make 3 X-Wings in let's say 15 months, not including the polybag and the microfighter. Hopefully Rogue One doesn't really feature the X-Wing so LEGO won't produce one. There would be fatigue for that particular vehicle. As far as this particular rumor, apart from fixing the wings, I really hope that they modify the nose to make it shorter like the TFA X-Wings.

inversion Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 X-Wing and MF are the police HQ-s of Star Wars. Not expecting their almost constant availability in some form is foolish. 4 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 It might be Atsy, since Snap will be in the Microfighter. It could also be Blue Three, Jessika Pava. I'm really excited about this, since this is the X-Wing I really wanted at the initial release. Poe's is okay, but I want a blue and white X-wing. 1 Quote

TheOrcKing Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 If this is simply based on the new movie's X-Wing design same as Poe's only with a different color scheme then technically the set should be considered a recolor than a remake and for such a quirky addition out of the blue I imagine it could be a Toys R Us exclusive. 1 Quote

Maybe they will incorporate some of the redesigns that MOC'ers have done with Poe's. Quote

conceptmachine Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I like that they alter it up . I think collectors will want to get them all regardless of color. It's a smart move on part of lego IMO. The average collector would only get at most 2 of the orange, now he needs to get at least a blue or two as well. I think lego would do ok in making just color changes on some of their cars as well. What collector wouldn't want a shelf of lined up cars in different color schemes. Hotwheels did great with it back in the day. Made some rare colors and made it fun to hunt them down. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 orange is squadron leader and blue junior intern, right? I guess people will want multiple blues to make a full squadron. 1 Quote

In "in universe" terms, Poe was "Black Leader" and had the black X-Wing. Blue Squadron was the squad stationed at the Resistance Base, hence the blue X-Wings. Quote
jaisonline Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 Ok. We are about to get real nerdy now. Poe's black x-wing has special paint job to be more stealth. That's the reason for the black paint. 1 Quote
conceptmachine Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Just built poes x wing and it went together well. I like it! SAH says 30 days they will ship more. Any chance the blue and poes will be on the shelf side by side? Quote

If they retire it at 9 months, all bets are off. We'd never know when things would go. 1 Quote
