Oh damn, I haven't even got around to buying the B-Wing yet.
That new cockpit is awesome. Impressed by the S-foil scissor mechanism too.
I don't have room for this at the moment but I might pick it up someday.
That devil thing is worth my money, but I'm wiser than to let it happen, for my funds are wrecked.
Kinda bummed I bought the X-Wing last year now, but hell this one can be it's big brother
