yellowstripe Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I keep forgetting about May the 4th. That is interesting that Lego is releasing that set on that day in particular. I wonder what else, if anything, they have planned. Quote
comicblast Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Looking forward to hearing about the reviews for this set. First SW UCS and all... I have to admit, it doesn't look half bad, plus it has a better design IMO since there are now more elements to include in builds than when the last one came out. Quote
Blackjack Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Even though I'm sorry for the people who held this set MISB for 10+ years, This is a fantastic looking set. Quote
TheDarkness Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Even though I'm sorry for the people who held this set MISB for 10+ years, This is a fantastic looking set. If I had sat on it that long I would have put it on the market the moment I heard the rumour of the X-Wing coming out. The rumours have always been fairly accurate. On a personal level, I can't wait to acquire one for myself. I don't think it will be a set I invest heavily in though Quote
Diabolos80 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Anyone else getting sick of paying premium prices for premium sets, only to cover them with stickers? This x-wing has a really cool targeting screen in the cockpit, but the graphics are a sticker. They print hundreds of minifig parts every year, but they can't give us a nice printed tile for the centerpiece of the cockpit in a 200 dollar x-wing!!! Stickers never really bothered me too much until I built the vw camper. The vw logo on the front end is a sticker! Boooo! Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah stickers suck!!!!! I don't even put stickers on the sets I build......I just keep the sheet for when I sell the set used. Quote

It was one thing for a set like Mines of Moria to have a heap of stickers, but they should be increasing the number of printed parts in the big expensive sets. I too was very disappointed the VW logo was a sticker Quote

Ed Mack Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 +1!Stickers do suck. I never put them on correctly. Quote
Anakinisvader Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I just noticed that you get an R2 figure with this set but not a Luke? What the poop? Does TLG have a butt load of R2's sitting around? Is R2 gonna be the next spend $75 and get a free one promo? Quote

Is R2 gonna be the next spend $75 and get a free one promo? A better question is when are we gonna get a R2 with a third leg? Quote
Rich B Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah stickers suck!!!!! I don't even put stickers on the sets I build......I just keep the sheet for when I sell the set used. Same! This is smart! Plus I find that without stickers some sets look a lot cleaner............. Quote
Rich B Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Speaking of stickers, I really wish Lego would just make more painted bricks and do away with stickers, but I understand that would probably cost TLG a lot more. And therefore we get stuck with those stupid stickers. Quote
comicblast Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 +1!Stickers do suck. I never put them on correctly. I skip on stickers also. Same! This is smart! Plus I find that without stickers some sets look a lot cleaner.............Describes me. I put stickers on my earlier sets. All of them are crooked or have creases in the sticker. I hate my 8 year old self for doing so... Quote
Darth Lego Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 A better question is when are we gonna get a R2 with a third leg? Exactly. It only takes a couple of pieces to make a third leg for him. +1!Stickers do suck. I never put them on correctly. I basically have given up putting on stickers because I always seem to find a way to mess them up. (Creases, not exactly centered, etc.) Quote
Blackjack Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I usually do fine with stickers, but the sets look fine without, and it's not worth the risk. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Anyone else getting sick of paying premium prices for premium sets, only to cover them with stickers? Yeah really. We're paying enough for the darn thing already; least they can do is actually print the pieces with the graphics. Yeah stickers suck!!!!! I don't even put stickers on the sets I build......I just keep the sheet for when I sell the set used. That's me in a nutshell. I HATE STICKERS!!!! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Finished building mine earlier today and I have to say I REALLY enjoyed the set. It looks great on display..and I am finally able to display an X-Wing along with my other UCS sets. I don't have the older 7191 so I don't really know how it compares, but it is one of my favorites. The only thing are the cockpit stickers. It is very time consuming if you want them perfect (mine are good enough for me), and it seems LEGO knows just how hard they are to apply, since they included an spare set of those in the set. I submitted a review for the set you should be able to see later today, if you guys are interested to know a little bit more. Quote
eracine Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 New X-wing is awesome Just a shout out to the new x-wing UCS it is outstanding. My son and daughter put together the x-wing and b-wing to add to our UCS collection it is awesome. I am not allowed to build the sets, kids are getting older so I can't build anymore. How did this happen....... Quote

How did this happen....... lol I agree, both models are completely amazing looking. I have been waiting a lot to get the UCS X-Wing, and at secondary prices it was just not possible, really happy about the new release. Still, someday I would love to own the original one. Quote

stackables Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Set should have cost $150. Seems overpriced at $200. Quote
