I Can't Un-See It...

By superdave, in X-Wing

It's always bugged me too.

Some of the card art is amazing

Some of it has perspective so wonky you wonder if it went through the flatlander QA department.

I can only imagine there's such a rush on demand for some images that they end up, well, rushed.

Wow I hadn't noticed this, normally I pick up on such things in the first few seconds after looking at something.

Clearly I have been wearing my rose tinted glasses every time I look at that Y-wing art

That's why I use these:

oh.. and spoilers I suppose :D

He he he look at John Cleese. Looks so young.

What was this from?

also the rear section of the hull looks very nearly square - it should be rectangular shape.

this is really going to bug the hell out of me now - especially as its my favourite ship

Why did I seek out the image?

I could have just gone on about my life, forgotten this post, and carried on blissfully ignorant.

No... no, I chose a different path...

Oh god, oh god, I followed you hoping it was all a nightmare! BUT ITS WORSE! ITS SO TRUE! ITS TRUUEEEEE *sobs in a corner and shakes* WHYYYYYY OH GOD WHYYYYY DID IT GET PAST QUALITY CONTROL!

Why did I look!!! What have you done to me! I looked thinking "oh it can't be that bad" but I was wrong! So wrong!

Seems legit.

Little did you know but this is canon, that's the only way they could justify making gold Squadron PS2 is they were dealing with faulty equipment.

Haha! Thanks, everyone. If anyone has an extra Gold Squadron promo they'd like to send my way, send me a message....

Oh you bloody bastard! Stuff like that you should keep to yourself. :)

DAMMIT......

Oh there's a special place for people like you, I never noticed it before but now...

That is SO funny!

Yeah that ain't john Cleese back there, though he sure looks like he would be from the ministry of silly walks. This movie was way before the dudes in month Python were grown up. I believe that's Lon Chaney Sr. as Qusimodo in the foreground in one of the many non-Disney versions of hunchback of notre dame.

Yeah, this thing has bothered me since wave 2 came out (it took me a while to see it). When I saw the title of this topic I thought, "He's gotta be talking about that Gold Squadron card art." Like others, I'm glad I have enough copies of the alternate art card.

That's why I use these:

I would love just one of those so that my scum Y from most wanted could be a second Gold squadron. As it is I only have one rebel Y so I can't replicate Pheaver's winning list without breaking my 'one of each expansion' rule. Oh well.

You would also need the ship token unfortunately.

Oh. That's right.

:(

Guess I will just have to make do with Gold and Grey.

You would think it would only fly in circles with engines like that.

superdave: Thanks for teaching me the word 'nacelle'. PM me and I'll hit you the promos so you never have to stare at that abomination again.

Why. Oh why did I ever click.

Seems legit.

The Hull is the wrong shape - should be just a square box - maybe just chop it in half.

The engines should be about twice as wide and the port engine should be mounted at a slightly oblique angle pointing outwards.

Other than that it's spot on and truly hideous :)

It's just a manly Y-wing, it's left engine is just lower than the right one.

Haha!
