Nice. How much was the original UCS xwing? maybe in 10 years they will bring back UCS MF.

[SpaceViking]

thanks for posting! it looks great to me. price point ($200) may be a little high, so hopefully it will wont be to hard to find on sale. In any event, much easier to fork over 2C for this rather than much more for a 7191. gotta save up for May the 4th, now.

previous ucs was $150US / $200cdn at 1300 pieces
even though this new one has more pieces, its not that much more detailed than the original

[Brickred]

The new UCS gets the proportions exact, I have the old one and it doesn't seem to be in proportion, the nose is too thin and the details of the laser canons on the sides was too huge. The new x-wing utilizes all the new techniques and newer elements which have been added to the Lego vocabulary for the last 12 years. I' am waiting for this one.

Lol the price tag in Canada...

Lol the price tag in Canada...

No kidding. This is why I rarely purchase Lego in Canada. The price difference is absurd!

I'm really excited for this one. Didn't think it would happen when I heard the rumors a couple of months ago.

For Pete's sake, that Canadian MSRP is ridiculous. Does it really cost LEGO 25% more to sell their sets in Canada?

[Arashikage-sith]

I would die to have one of this... but that means I have to draw some blood out of myself to get one! Gee... The reason being X wing is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite plane from Star Wars...

Is it 1558 or 1559 pcs? Not a big deal, but box reads 1559.

Is it 1558 or 1559 pcs? Not a big deal, but box reads 1559.
