Why is It that the Rereleased Rebel Alliance A-Wing Will Be the Rebels Version and Not the Return of the Jedi Version?

Damnit, now I’m going to have to pick up a Rebel A-Wing when they come out.

Yeah. For every guy that says "But I want red" there are 5 of us thinking "But I already have 6!" *sigh* digs out wallet...

Can I get a P. A. R. A. G. R. A. P. H.

Phase-Actuated-Radial-Adjusted-Gyroscopic-Rectifier/Augmented-Precognitive-Helm tech upgrade confirmed.

I would have been bummed if it was the Ralph McQuarrie paint scheme. (Which is awesome and I love it, but I already have two of them.) Since I often run two Phoenix Squadron Blockers and I need two more A-wing dials, this actually works out perfectly. I like to run my pilots with models that match their card whenever possible. I am glad they didn’t resculpt it though, I’m not a fan of the bloated Rebels A-Wings.

If they’d released the RotJ paint job and then given us two of these in a Hammerhead Corvette, I would have been happier. This is fine though.

Oh thank god, I'm not the only one who does that! I repainted two RZ-2s to the card art red scheme and modified a second core set T-65 to be Wedge with the generic T-65s standing in for anyone not Luke or Wedge (and of course I have two Renegade X-Wings).

Yes, six, that’s definitely the number I have...

12 = Squadron. Anything less, and you are incomplete.

Git busy buyin', then git busy flyin'.

It's less that they're bloated, more that they're stock.

I’m going to try that as an excuse on my wife when I pre-order four new paint scheme ones. If you never hear from me again you know why...
