Fatalist Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Ha! I was gonna say something about the wings being a little short, but then I read the article and it said it was done on purpose for shipping and travel purposes. It would be awesome to have, but I would take out the Rebel Assault game from it and put in something better, like XWA. Quote
AlphaHX Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 HAHAHAHHAHA!!! Go ask Godzilla to sell his entire collection and then give you all his money. I remember seeing that awhile back... craziness! Quote
Feyd-Rautha Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 it would be cool if you could play various missions in the cockpit by seeing game displayed on the canopy like a flight simulator!!!!! Quote
NERV Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 that thing is pretty poor, definitely not a real movie prop, the quality and detail looks on par with the actional fleet x-wing i had awhile back Quote
bsu legato Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Ah yes, the touring X-Wings. They were only about 3/4 scale, btw. Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Does the fanboy in the orange garbage bag come with it? Or do you have to puchase him seperately? Quote
Godzilla Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 A couple of years back, Nieman Marcus has those rare items sold in the catalogue for Xmas and it was the 1:1 X-wing completely detailed and right to scale. I think it was back in 1999. I forgot how much it was auctioned but it was over $40,000. And to be a real Star Wars geek: The S-foils needs to be folded with the landing down. S-foils are attack mode. Quote
do not disturb Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 its cool and ghey at the same time. Quote
Godzilla Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 HAHAHAHHAHA!!! Go ask Godzilla to sell his entire collection and then give you all his money. I remember seeing that awhile back... craziness! I gotta be smoking crack to do that. So to answer the your question: Hell no. Quote

Godzilla Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 so where you live Godzilla? address? Why? So you can "see" my valk collection? I already posted the 65 valk mess. Thinking I am going to give away samples? Let me reiterate my last statement: gotta be smoking crack to do that. So to answer the your question: Hell no. Now if you want to come over and help me setup some dioramas, I got no problems with it. Quote
Murphy Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 i see you have constructed your own x-wing.....your training as a loser is complete Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 i see you have constructed your own x-wing.....your training as a loser is complete Goddammit, I wish I had come up with that! Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Looks awfull cheap. I agree. For the amount charged I expect it to look at least like metal, at least on the surface. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 i see you have constructed your own x-wing.....your training as a loser is complete LMAO... sig'd! Quote
Greyryder Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Nice, but I'd rather have a colnial Viper. Preferably an original series one. Of course, I'd have to refit the cockpit for playing PC flight sims. Oops! I think my geek is showing. Quote
Gaijin Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Seriously...who the hell would want that giant toy and what the heck would you do with it? Edited February 18, 2005 by Gaijin Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Seriously...who the hell would want that giant toy and what the heck would you do with it? Not get laid? Quote
MSW Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Looks quite a lot like the real film prop...about the same size too... Way back in the summer of 1986 I was at Disneyland for the opening of the then brand new Star Tours simulation ride...after waiting in the que, then enjoying the ride, you exit into a fairly large Star Wars shop full of all sorts of tee-shirts, SW toys, etc...and hanging from the ceiling was a full size X-wing...wall plaque stated it was used in ESB...the wings were closed, but the landing gear was down...didn't look any bigger, or more real, or even all that more detailed then this mock-up does... And haveing seen quite a number of film props, sets, even minatures...they rearly if ever look as good in person as they do on film...course that is what they are constructed to do...look good on film...with the right lighting and cameraman a cheap cardboard mockup could look pretty damn real Quote
MSW Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Seriously...who the hell would want that giant toy and what the heck would you do with it? rent it out to a movie theater for displaying during the opening weekend of episode III...rent it out to sci-fi conventions, airshows and such...parades...heck it would prolly pay for itself in a couple of years, there is a small industry dedicated to such things (every thing from batmobile mock-ups to giant inflateable monkeys...just attention grabbing displays inorder to draw peoples intrest)...a guy around here built a hot-rod blown big-block powered oversized shopping card (its like 10 feet tall) and rents it out for parades, opening of shopping malls/walmarts Quote
polidread Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Seriously...who the hell would want that giant toy and what the heck would you do with it? blow up some Death Stars? Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 How would you explain this to the insurance company Hello Allstate. Yes how much to insure a 1976 T65 Xwing? Quote
