So I got upset about constantly not finding the U-Wing in stores...so I was browsing the toy isle at walmart as i defrosted from coming from the winter tundra and long behold!
As far as I can tell, its the right scale for x-wing. So Right now Im flying this until I can get a hold of a real expansion pack. The Wings even move and everything...that said I think it looks better forward facing like it does in the picture.
Brother got this for xmas. It is almost the exact same size.
Also check Barnes and Noble. They usually have a good stock of Xwing stuff. Got my U Wing there a good 2-3 weeks after release when they were sold out elsewhere.
Honestly, Barnes and Noble was the first place I went to to see if I could find it., they didnt have any, they did have a Striker, but I left it behind. I bought the ghost instead. I would have got the U-Wing if they had it but NOPE....
Shortage? I don't know no shortage!
Admittedly, these are "U-Flügler", not U-Wings. The English ones haven't arrived in Switzerland yet.
Edited by hasloBLACK SERIES are sweet models too get for the holes in the FFG range. They are cheap and yet look great and are very close to the right size.
I have a few now. I need these for my LAND WAR Games... & STAR WARS MF STAR WARS Collection of course.
Honestly, I was thinking of buying the Imperial Dropship from TFA as a Black Series, but I wasn't sure if the scale was right.
It was the only ship that I actually liked from the movie. Everything else felt like....meh. Well, granted to me the entire movie was meh so...yea...
Edited by ZeoinxShortage? Got 4 of them.

I know what you mean, the best part of TFA is that STAR WARS has been reintroduced to the kids.
Yeah that Black Series Transport is perfect scale wise.
Shortage? I got mine from FFG the day they were released. No preorders, just walking in and buying one.

We were limited to only 1 per customer while stocks last just a few KM's up the Road in Karlsruhe 
Wisconsin has plenty of them all over.
What good is a model without a dial?

Copier + Dial Upgrade kit = any dial you want.
To the OP - Go for it. I did the same when R1 came out and all the ships were gone in a day. Have fun!!!

Well then they all used their warp drive and fled Milwaukee. I tried Barnes and Noble, Lost World of Wonders and.....a different Barnes and Noble. I'll have to check again when I get more toy money, That is if you stop HORDING THEM ALL WHERE EVER YOU ARE!
