Yesterday's first post from my Android phone using the Blogger App wasn't without teething problems. Firstly, it failed to publish the post first time AND deleted the draft in the process. Secondly, I notice it didn't publish any of the pics I'd taken, but neither did it save them on the phone either? Anyone know what I was doing wrong? Still functional enough to use when I'm out and about.
So what pics didn't appear yesterday? The new X-Wing releases, that's what! Oooo, shiny.
First up, piloted by everyone's favourite scum, is Slave 1. It's an impressively large bit of kit, although still dwarfed by the Millennium Falcon.
The coolest Tie variant (at least from the original three movies) is next. I bought two Tie Interceptors mainly because the game store only had two left, but I'm sure I would have picked up another one at some point in the future anyway.
Lastly, my least favorite Rebel ship (again from the original movies,) the A-Wing. Meh, nothing wrong with it really, and it's rules look deadly, but it doesn't really do it for me.
For those of you who already have X-Wing, I'd like to point out that the quality of the models and, in particular, the paintwork is a vast improvement on the initial release. All the weapons point in the correct way and the coloured panels on the A-Wing and Slave 1 have a nice thick colour to them. Compare the first X-Wing model I received where I had to cut all the engines off and reattach them, bend the weapon barrels back into shape and basically have cream paint splashed over black.
Not sure when we'll get our next game in though, next week looks pretty busy. Maybe I'll have to kick the Mrs out shopping for a while and get some folk round to the house!
