[Spookymufu]

I'm looking for Lukes Degobah X-Wing. Ship it's self needs to be complete but moss, swamp monster, Luke figure not necessary but would be nice if complete, mostly just looking for the ship

Not looking to pay eBay prices, make me a deal I cant refuse....looking in the $25-$30 price range.

$30!!


BOHYAH!!!

Damn thats an awsome deal! I was going to post there is one on Ebay for a shipped price of 41$ but it got snapped up already.

[Spookymufu]

okay, I got the X-Wing in the mail today and I have to make an amendment, it isnt MIB, it is NIB tho, it's a little beat around the edges but who cares, I dont collect boxes!!!!

Awsome deal Spooky... I just got one off Craigslist for 25$ shipped to my door. Love to see if yours is gong to make it into a new dio

[Spookymufu]

did you get the same one I got??

[finn]

No, not the same version this was the first one that was released the same time as Red Leader's was.

BTW Does yours have painted or sticker deco on it?

[Spookymufu]

it's all painted, no stickers or decals

ahhh no mine is this one

I think that this is the only version that has stickers. I have most of  ,or have seen, the others and they are all painted deco apps

[Spookymufu]

oh, that ones really cool, I dont think I've seen that one before (I know, where have I been, under a rock?)

that one looks cool!

[finn]

What is really nice about it is that it does use the sticker deco. If you have seen my latest X-Wing custom you can see why I like it soo much. I was able to creat custom colored markings for it with my own sticker sheet so now I have the ablity to make any squadron colors I want, simply without the need to repaint!

I was hoping that there were other versions where they "cheaped out" and used stickers but it seems like it was only this version. So if anyone else wanted to use my sticker sheet idea for their own customs then they would either have to get this same version OR repaint their entire X-Wing with a base coat then apply the stickers and do whatever weathering they wanted to do. Not a hard thing but it is an extra step to do and not as simple as just swapping out stickers.
