anothergol Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 For those who are interested, here's the difference between the good & the bad canopy for Poe's X-Wing, as Lego just mailed me the working one. I was suspecting the problem was that the glass wasn't cut short enough, but no, it's clearly the handle that's going downwards, for the wrong one. Weird. Quote
TheBear Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks, that is useful. It looks more like the handle is straight on the faulty one when it should curve up slightly. Edit: Sorry, I got them the wrong way around, the one on the right is the good one. Buying these on Bricklink and other places is going to be annoying as there will be no way of telling whether you will get a good one until it arrives. Edited November 4, 2015 by TheBear Quote
JPN366 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I have the straight one, but it closes almost completely. There's a hair thin gap. Quote
anothergol Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Yeah, the straight one is the working one. Quote
FTG Prime Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Oh ok thanks for the info,i'll check mine once it arrives. Quote
JPN366 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah, the straight one is the working one. Oops... I put in for a replacement on the LEGO website. I guess I'll have an extra one then. Edited November 3, 2015 by JPN366 Quote
Tyrell Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 The mold number has to be checked. (It is inside of the canopy, on the top, below the studs.) The ones with the number 3-01 are surely correct. Quote
anothergol Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Oops... I put in for a replacement on the LEGO website. I guess I'll have an extra one then. but you haven't tried it first? The mold number has to be checked. (It is inside of the canopy, on the top, below the studs.) The ones with the number 3-01 are surely correct. it's not gonna help, both good & bad say 2-01 here :) anyway it was just for information about the difference, but those who got the wrong one will immediately notice it, it's not closing by over half a cm. I can imagine BL sellers willing to spot the wrong ones without assembling, the angle of the handle will tell. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 You should specify in your first post which cockpit is which. It's clearly not obvious, as we can see from some of the comments here. So, left is bad and right is good? Quote
JPN366 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 but you haven't tried it first? What do you mean? Quote
feudaldeci Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I have the straight one, but it closes almost completely. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Nice comparision, but which canopy is the bad one and the good one? It can be confusing for somebody who didn't buy the set yet. Quote
anothergol Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 ..again, the "good" one is the straight one, on the right Quote
