Fly the X-wing to Dagobah! Luke Skywalker has piloted his X-wing Fighter to Dagobah to learn the secrets of the Force from Yoda! Can the Jedi master train Luke in time to stop the empire from defeating the Rebels? Will Luke master the Force and be able to raise his X-wing from the swamp? The choice is yours when you build this exciting new set, featuring the X-wing, Yoda’s house on Dagobah, Luke Skywalker and Yoda! Ages 8-12. 563 pieces. #4502 X-wing Fighter $49.99”

Confirmed by Tim Saupe too.

Hum.. what is the difference between THIS x-wing and the one from a few years ago apart from the green stuff? They look the same to me with the exception of a new “paint job”?

What does everyone else think?
