Notice how on the box they have the "clean" Artoo Detoo pictured so they didn't use the newer Vintage collection redo, or the Tatooine sands version. Interesting! At least I think that's the clean new looking Artoo. And shouldn't we eventually have Antoc Merrick's Astromech Droid as well on a vintage card in the future to complete the scene? Would be cool to have a blue/green or blue/yellow Astromech Droid to go along with it. Not sure what it was in the movie. Guess we could just use an Artoo unit from a Disney Droid factory or R2-B1 from Episode 1 ? The Antoc Merrick pilot facially looks like the actor William Hurt a little to me.

Great review. I gotta admit, this is not a must have for me. But to keep my TVC collection going, I hate the fact I have to drop $115 just for a carded figure I’ll never open. The X-Wing is OK, but it’s just a repaint of Luke’s and like you point out the wings open are droopy. I have no interest in displaying two xwings with droopy wings. Heck, I never even opened Poe’s xwing and it’s far superior. Whatever. Being a sap and a sucker, I’ll probably buy one. But man, what an expense just for one figure …. 🤦🏻♂️.

Great review as always Bossk. I do think Hasbro have let everyone down by not addressing the wing mechanism. The ship looks fantastic in terms of all other aspects, i.e. great weathering, nice landing gear functions, perfectly scaled to the 3.75 inch figures. But for the price of the product I can't excuse the poor wing mechanism. It almost feels like Hasbro shrugged there shoulders and said "well they tolerated it on Luke's X-Wing so why address it now". Just feels lazy to me.

Hey Bossk, when you mentioned Chopper I remembered that General Sydulla (I thought Hera's father since he appears in SW Rebels and held a Generals rank) is mentioned in the Rogue One movie over the Yavin base intercom. Dave Filloni recently said in an interview that this wasn't her father but actually Hera that was being called. Also she supposedly was in the Battle Of Endor, most likely she was flying her A-Wing. I personally would like to see a A-Wing (even if its just a re-paint/re-issue from the Rogue One movie toy line) that comes with a VC Hera Sydulla on card with either a Rogue One Or ROTJ logo.
