 | | Rebuilding the UCS X-Wing in grey —Huw Millington
|
| | | Ever since I first saw the UCS X-Wing, it has been a mystery to me why LEGO made it primarily out of white pieces. To my eye, X-Wings are grey, and someone in LEGO also thought so when they built the prototype (shown in the March 1999 UK LEGO club (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | I think the X-Wing is supposed to be white, the toy I had as a kid was white. In the movie they are gray and white, and I think the gray is mainly dirt. -- Cory, "Whether they ever find life there or not, I think Jupiter should be considered an (...)

It's just that their Fly-in Spacecraft Washer has been broken, and they are too busy running from the Empire to wash them. :) (Yes, I'm trying to be funny.) (...) And I (...)

| | | | | Yeah, yeah, yeah the X-Wing is supposed to be white...who gives a f#$%! You know why it looks so good in grey? Because, as someone else mentioned, the X-Wings were dirty and battle worn. So what do you get when you build a white (official) X-Wing? A (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
