I think I'm going to have to use a celebratory deployment of 5 x XG-1 Jamming Beam Gunboats.

Just because you can.

And because Spaceballs.

With Long Range Scanners being a thing, that might not actually be that bad an idea... 2-dice primary weapons get real scary really fast when you've got enough jamming tokens to basically never have a useful token again!

Also, this scene will forever remind me of the greatest X-Wing Minis Wiki controversy in history (the picture is fixed but you can still see reference to it in the comments). :)

Do the wings fold? (I assumed not, but thought I'd check anyway)

No that's been confirmed since before the preview article.

Alright. I didn't know whether or not any of us had actually held and touched a physical GUNBOAT model to check that, or if it was just going off of pictures and the fact that FFH didn't say they folded.

All 3.

This.

But I was told it can fold its wing. Once.

I guess that's my new mission - reattaching all those wings so they fold! Legend of the five wings!

Right after I cut apart a TIE Defender, glue the cab to the front of a ball bearing, the engine to the back, the wings to the side, and a B-Wing type curving peg to the back (so as not to get in the way), and have a fidget-spinner TIE/D!!!

Such sweetness. <3

Sadly, no. But I am gonna have one modified and with folding wings. ;)

Niiiiiiice ?

How long till we can get one of these painted like a gecko in honor of the man who's 3 year campaign brought us our savior?

@FTS Gecko, thank you for 336 pages of perseverance!

Thanks @DXCrazytrain, but this was a community-wide effort, on the forums, on Reddit and elsewhere. This might be the longest Gunboat topic, but it certainly wasn't the first!

Now... do I post the Shawn Michaels work-here-is-done gif, or the DiCapro Gatsby champagne toast gif...?
