Post by: Reconsgt on February 07, 2009, 04:54:50 PM: Looks nice and I am all for more larger scale ships, not sure I like the price 56 pounds is like 86 bucks US, I am really hating Hasbros price hikes. I still want one but we'll have to see what US retail prices will be

Post by: Darth Caedus on February 15, 2009, 12:10:05 PM: hanshideout.com has posted that it found a dcpi for "x-wing red" in targets system. most likely wedges x-wing. the price was $50.

i noticed it. it looks like the unreleased head with the stupid looking grin that was originally in last years walmart exclusive droid factory 2-packs. thats the only reason i can figure this is an exclusive.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Tamer on February 15, 2009, 08:02:17 PM: Looks like ole Luke is perhaps gonna take a rid in Bigg's X-wing! I actually bought a loose electronic FX X-wing a few years ago that was modified to look like Bigg's and it isn't bad. I did notice that silly grin.

Post by: Rodger on May 16, 2009, 12:46:05 PM: Like the set up but I thinks me makes a better ladder !! (http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/ruinkai/biglaugh.gif)

Might go there if the price is right.

Post by: Clonehead on June 30, 2009, 04:05:31 PM: jedi defender (http://www.jedidefender.com/) has posted some pics of the new Wedge Antillies figure that is to be packed with the tru exclusive Red 2 x-wing. Looking pretty cool, man.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: B.R. Steel on July 17, 2009, 06:23:44 PM: I'm not wild about Wedge's head sculpt, but I'll be buying this for the X-Wing anyway.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Clonehead on July 17, 2009, 11:52:15 PM: Welcome to the yards, BR Steel! The ladder is what I really want. I may just order that comicon Luke x-wing pilot to getnone as I already have the Degobah x-wing.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: B.R. Steel on July 19, 2009, 06:24:11 PM: Thanks for the welcome Clonehead!

Yeah that ladder is a big selling point; but as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a sucker for personalized X-wings. Jedi starfighters...I don't think it's possible for me to care less; but classic trilogy stuff, I can't help myself.

Post by: Clonehead on July 19, 2009, 06:35:08 PM: I figure that this one will be hitting pretty soon.Anyone hear the retail price on this?

It's in that new $60 price point with the rest of the ships!

Honestly at this point I don't know, but I would assume since it's a TRU Exclusive I don't think it's going to be $30! :-\

Post by: masterfett on July 25, 2009, 12:00:43 PM: Can't believe it's a Target Exclusive now that $60 price tag really shocks me!
I really want an updated wedge but not that much! :'(
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Tamer on July 25, 2009, 05:22:17 PM: Yeah, one would think this would have been the same price as the Degobah Xwing. I bet this one will be available on clearance later down the road. Target does awesome clearances.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: clonetrooper360 on July 27, 2009, 12:39:40 PM: i love the new xwings , but for a size factor due to space type of guy like me , im interesting in getting the electronic ones from kenner ! i have the swamp wing which is cool , cuz u can make it dirty wit the plants or brand clean attacking the death star, if i had the money i would buy the wedge :-[ one since , i love him!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Clonehead on August 31, 2009, 08:46:50 PM: Found these pics of the Red 2 X wing on Scum, today. here we can get a better look at that second ladder.

Post by: Goldleaderone on September 04, 2009, 03:45:04 PM: Providing I have the cash, this is on my to get list. Wedge is my favorite character, and having this X-Wing next to the Luke FX X-Wing and Red Leader's will look awesome.

Side note, I heard this was a Toys R Us exclusive, now I see the Target tag. Was this always Target or did they change this at the last minute?
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: McMetal on September 08, 2009, 04:51:20 PM: I came across these for the first time at a local Target after work today. They had just out out 3 on an end-cap. Nice looking little package. Gotta love Wedge!

Post by: DS-61-2 on October 16, 2009, 09:45:16 AM: I now own 6 of these babies for customizing Red Squadron, I feel Hasbro is trying to get out of making Star Wars figures with there bad choices and stocking issues, saying OTC items would not sale as much as clone wars items, They refuse to make battle front 2 packs with Rebels and Imperials saying Kids would not buy them, WTF I would and lots of others would to they are starting to annoy me. If they can not do any better than this they need to let another company take over and offer new vehicles and figures for the collectors since Hasbro feels kids are the backbone behind the line.
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Phatty on October 16, 2009, 12:02:45 PM: I'm waiting for clearance. $50 is more than I care to pay for it at this time. I wouldn't mind a squadron of these, and paint them a couple different paint schemes, but that's for another day!
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: DS-61-2 on October 16, 2009, 12:05:41 PM: Try ebay I have managed to get 2 from ebay for 60 bucks that was 2 diffrent auctions, no ladders or figures but I bought 4 from target only so many wedges one needs lol, do you have any refrence pics for Red-4?
Title: Re: Red 2 X-wing
Post by: Reconsgt on October 16, 2009, 01:10:42 PM: Well my local Target has these now at 45.99 and if you use the clone cash it's a good buyt at 40.99.
