I disagree somewhat here.  One of the major things that excited everyone about
the x-wing, snowspeeder, and y-wing was how close they came to being to scale
w/ a minifig and with each other.  The a-wing is a disappointment only because
it's obviously too small.  While we can understand why a big ship like the
Sith Infiltrator might need to be scaled down, the a-wing was scaled down only
to meet a lower price point.  The TLG a-wing is the only ship (so far, I'm
reserving judgement on the MF 'till we see production photos) that won't be
present in my SW classic base.

I agree that the A-wing is too small, and maybe looks a little bit
unsubstantial, but I've decided that I really like it.  I especially appreciate
the fact that the double tails are made out of bricks.  This set is Old School.
It reminds me of the classic sets of my good-old-days; 74-77'.  That is why I
like the Landspeeder; that set is pretty much how I imagine that Lego would
have
done it in 1978 or 79'.
