Ryan Junior Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 http://www.outerrimtradingco.com.au/content/ort-productinfo.asp?name=Product-Info&productinfo=10240This Australian website says they are getting more Red 5 X-wings in, in June 2015. You could email them to see if it is true. That would mean probably not discontinued yet. They also say they are getting more PS and PC in at the end of the year.

bartonregis Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Anyone know how much the US differs from UK market? Is there a big demand in UK compared with US? Can still pick these up pretty easy over here. I'm hanging out until May and using the 10% discount along with points I've accumulated at Lego shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami Bomb Squad Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Question:What is the difference between the older X-Wing 7191 & The Red Five X-Wing 10240?Are these the same Fighter Planes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Question:What is the difference between the older X-Wing 7191 & The Red Five X-Wing 10240?Are these the same Fighter Planes? Same ship. The 10240 is slightly larger with more detailed engines. The 7191 has a classic box. Both great builds and fun sets. Great for display and play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I believe the mechanism to fold the wings was also improved upon with the newer version. Edited May 5, 2015 by oneknightr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay4e Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) And if it happened once, it can happen again.just chaos.... and I would expect a remake of the MF, DS maybe (more display style like the old or play like the new?), but the others are not likely anytime soon if ever. X-wing and MF are the two iconic ships that did not have a lot of variations available, so remakes are not surprising.

jal4u2c Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I thought Lego has stated in interviews and stuff that they only do a "remake" if the new version improves or adds to the existing one. So we've had a remade X-Wing and Sandcrawler. I bet they "remake" all of the UCS sets. Wouldn't bother me as i missed most of them the first time around.

templesweeper Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Since I ordered the Red Five a few days ago off Lego.com, will they definitely fulfill that? I know that it said out of stock for 30 days or something, but my email seemed to indicate that I would eventually get it. If that is so, why would people be paying $300+ for the set already?

I think there will way too many new STAR WARS vehicles and characters to waste time on older UCS remakes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawnboy1001 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I ordered a Red 5 on April 18th; I think at the time the expected ship date on the website said April 26th. It looks like it has flipped on my order from Backordered to In Process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so, why would people be paying $300+ for the set already?Well, nothing is "definite" until it says "shipped"... (though "in warehouse" is 99% also)... but I think they will ship eventually. ... so anyway... where are people paying $300+ for them? ... I might have 1 or 2 I could part with.

Steve Brule Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I ordered 1 from Lego shop at home and received an email estimating the ship date as June 7th. Right now I'm just a collector but the limit of 2 had me thinking of grabbing a 2nd one to put aside for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
