I know this was mentioned in the UCS thread, but probably worthy of its own. Hoth Bricks has pics and info on the new UCS X-Wing, Price will be $199.99 US and it looks like it will come out in May.

It is a very nice set. Have been tempted to grab one for myself, but might hold out for a decent sale.

That's what I would do too. I just happened to have $55 in VIP points So it ended up costing a lot less. Plus some gift cards!

I got caught up in the moment with the 4th. I fear my kids have high levels of Midi Chlorian!

That's awesome, they could be the chosen ones.

Why? We all know what happened to the previous so called "chosen one" ;-)

Is 50% off next May too much to ask?

I think it will sell way better than the B-Wing

Don't think you'll be seeing the X-Wing go on sale on Lego.com, ever. OK, maybe 10% when it's about to die. Our only hope is that it goes out to the Walmarts and Amazons of the world and we see some decent discounts on it. I'm going to buy one to build regardless, but as for investments, going to wait on it for a while.

Completely agree. This set was an awesome build and is so impressive in person. Must be seen to be believed. Absolutely love this set!!!!

Well the B-wing is at Walmart so perhaps the X-wing will follow in a few months. If it does I expect sale prices as well as my own extra 10% off.....so we may see the $150 price point.

I guess it's cool, but to me it falls into the rehash category, so that's a notch down from an actual all-new set. I just think they could have done something better for a UCS ship instead of another retread. Where's the UCS Tie Fighter for the past 15 years, Lego, hmmmmmm? Thank you!

I honestly do not get why Lego still has not done the regular TIE Fighter as a UCS style set. Yes, the X-Wing is iconic but so is the Empire standard TIE Fighter darn it!

The 10240 Red Five X-Wing Fighter, in my opinion, is a amazing set. What do you think? Is it a cool set? Is it fun to build? What is your favorite aspect of this set? Is it a great investment?

Here is the thread where most people discussed their initial thoughts on the ucs x-wing. I think you'll get mixed feelings on this one.

Thanks a lot. It's very interesting!

If I buy 10240 from Lego.com do I get the "I love NY" Yoda? if not how do I get that one? 

That figure was a limited edition available only through certain promotions, which are now over. The only way to get him now is on ebay. Sorry :(

Well damn, thank you 

Should I build or keep for investment?

The set came out a while ago, so I would build it. When the set is near EOL, I would buy one for investment.

What made you buy it originally?  Go with that reason.

Impulse buy, but I keep looking at it in my inventory

I take it you already purchased the set? Well, if you plan on getting another for investment later on then build the one you have. I am certain it will be a good investment only you would be sitting on it for a while now as in a few years perhaps.

Build it.  It'll go on sale in the future so you can get another one.

Great I will go ahead and build.  What do you think about the Millennium Falcon?  Build or save?

The Millennium Falcon is supposedly going to EOL in 2015. If this fact is true, I would build it.
