Sweet release from Bandai, the 1/48 X-Wing Star Fighter Moving Edition from the Star Wars Universe. What makes it awesome you ask?, well for starters it's an X-Wing! But yeah Bandai already released an X-Wing, why should I get this? Well it's 1/48th scale and has an amazing electronics package that lights the X-Wing up with LED's and gives it awesome sound effects and opens/closes the wings automatically.
Makes me wish now that Bandai released the Tie and Advanced Tie Fighters in 1/48 scale instead. Even without the electronics package I'd dig it. But yeah I have a Bias, 1/48 has always been the sweet spot for me. Easier to play with... errr I mean awesome to display...*snicker*
