fossilrock Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Cool! I suspect that might put Poe's X-wing on it's death bed as a short run set. I somehow doubt they'd have both going at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being OT it should see a minimal price impact. But...I still have a real job. And you're Dutch right? Anything interesting in the description?

Hogi Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 makes me very curious about poe's xwings future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Just use google translate… if you want to figure out what the article says. . This set definitely has some interesting minifigs. I think it's better than Poe's other Black X-wing. I also doubt it effects Luke's OT x-wing. Looks like most of the OT sets are safe this year, with the only exception possibly being the new Death Star.https://translate.google.com Edited January 10, 2016 by fossilrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inversion Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The two will pair nicely. People will want both this one and the black too. And the nose still does not seem to be accurate. If they ever do UCS again it will be probably the black one to make it more distinctive from 10240. Also a fitting nose as a selling point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seapotato Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice. I like the orange and black colour scheme of Poe's x wing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Cig, what does it say about the part count - they think it´s a mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The picture shown is the preliminary box. Where the piece count says 442 pieces. But the actual piece count will be approximately 700 pieces. And an RRP of 99.99 euro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Absolutely, and assuming they retire together, this one should be worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the article states that the Dutch RRP will most likely be €99,99 which means in Germany it will probably be €89,99. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firos Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Can we assume that this build and Poe's X-Wing build are equal? i.e., we can build the jakku x-wing just by changing the pieces from black to white and from orange to blue. Poe's x-wing piece count is +700 as this one. So major differences between the two would be in the minifigs and in the stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 i doubt the designs will be that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conceptmachine Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Idk, I have doubts that they will both be taking up the shelf, especially a kit with same/very nearly same build/scale. How many other times has that happened? I think it would be neat though to see them both on the shelf, but IMO poe's will be gone when that one shows up.

froncz Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Agreed. This looks like a next iteration of X-wing, similar to all the interceptors/starfighters. Sure, build details, color scheme or minifigs might be different, but still. Would they really want 2 close to identical sets on the shelf?
