That is a GREAT shot!  It's funny, though, that they chose a shot of an
X-Wing in closed-wing configuration -- it's not even an "X" in that shot.

It was the best one I could find in 10 seconds. :)

Oh, sorry, when I said "it's funny that they" I meant the people at Lucas...

I assumed the URL above was some sort of glossary definition at the official
SW site.  So there are other X-Wing photos up there I suppose, huh?  :)
I'll go have a looksee and enjoy...

Hey, whoa -- check out the model at the bottom of this page:

Well hey, the neat thing is that the fuselage can be lengthened -- and I'm
sure we'll see a few websites pop up dedicated to mods (with LDraw or LeoCAD
instructions) to bring the models into a more official shape/look.  At least
with LEGO (pieces), the errors can be fixed.

True. Like I said, I suppose I was expecting too much.

I'll probably appreciate them more when I see them in person.

Me too...  I always seem to like the new stuff in person much more than in
the initial catalog shots...  Exploriens was a good example of that...not
that it's stellar or anything but I remember being pretty down on it in
November of 1995.
