The new fang fighter..

By badgerclaw171, in X-Wing

With my upgrade kit I also purchased in of the new fang fighters, That is supposed to be a new sculpter a sculpter I believe is supposed to have movie wings.

If that's correct mine did not have movie wings it stays stationary.

how do I get a replacement. Since the main reason I bought an extra fang fighter because movie wings

Thanks for any help.

If it's like mine they do move, but they start out pretty stiff. It's like the paint stuck together a little bit. Work them back and forth a bit and they should pop and start rotating normally.

If not, and you snap a wing off, contact customer support and include before and after pictures. They'll replace it for you.

They might be stuck. People have had luck putting it in the freezer and then moving the wings to break the paint that may be holding the wings in place.

Myself and another guy at my FLGS bought some on launch day. He broke the peg on the bottom of his trying to get the wings to move. I was more cautious with it after that. Every time I picked it up I tried to wiggle the wings but I was careful to not break it, after I tried a couple of times I gave up. Then the other day someone asked me if they move and I started wiggling them while saying that I thought they were supposed to and the paint finally broke loose. They move fine now.

huh, here I was thinking they didn't move after all.

I guess I'll keep wiggling.

Thanks guys.

You can either try to force them, wiggle them until they give, or someone else got a small hobby knife and carefully put it in the grooves to break up the paint that's causing it to stick. Don't hold the peg underneath while trying to move them or you risk breaking it. Grab the pointy front of the ship and then grab the back wing parts and try to move it that way. Even once they're not stuck, it will be difficult to move for a time, so try not to move them on the peg or you could easily break off the top of a peg. I always grab the front of the ship when I'm adjusting the wing tilt.

My moved pretty easy after being left in a hot car for a day. They didn't move at all before that.

Mine was stuck, i just slowly put building pressure back and forth until the glue/paint that went in the joint broke.

That's what I thought it would be maybe paint or something I just don't wanna keep wiggling it find out yeah that 1 doesn't have Movable wings, But look up the bright side You have a really cool debris field.

Thanks for everyone's input and hopefully my wings will come free.
