Soooo...I finally broke down and bought the new cool looking X-Wing fighter. What a mistake. IDK if this is because of Disney pushing safety regulations, or demanding a higher profit margin or what, but the quality of this toy is an absolute JOKE, and this is a $50 vehicle. It is by no means inexpensive.
Where to begin...all four guns are made of soft plastic and are ultra warped right out of the package. I tried to straighten them to no avail. They look like absolute CRAP. Second, the pilot figure that comes with the X-Wing doesn't even fit inside the cockpit! WTH? Did anyone at Hasbro even look at this thing when they designed it? What kind of moron makes the cockpit smaller than the figure that's supposed to go inside it?
Very little paint and it looks cheap. Absolutely NO weathering of any kind. My Classic X-Wing from five years ago has TONS of paint apps, and it was $10 cheaper!
Finally, the entire nosecone of the X-Wing is RUBBER. And not good rubber, but that cheap stuff that degrades after just a few years. I thought maybe I bought a lemon, so I looked up some reviews, and this guy sums it up perfectly. I just finished reboxing this $50 abomination. It's going back to the store first thing tomorrow.
It's amazing to me that Kenner made better quality vehicles over 30 years ago.
