X-wing 7140 original is the best

[Robert_88]

This thread is just...I'm trying to find a better word than ridiculous but I can't.

[Sir Brickalot]

^ I agree, nokialover31 originally asked us for our opinions, then when we give them, it seems like we are told our opinions are wrong. I'm not saying nokialover's opinion is wrong, I just think it has become absurd the way he crams his opinion down our throat.

[rexusprime]

^I agree

[Robert_88]

I hope this didn't sound rude! Somehow I like the old sets too but I just can't understand why somebody buys a set and then sells it again because he found out it's not the first version!

[Robianco]

I'd say the OP was well aware of his intentions at the start of the thread and, if anything, the title was a little provocative... I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt on this as English obviously isn't his first language.

As a discussion topic it's all seemed rather pointless as he knows exactly what he wants and why he wants it... which is fair enough.

If anything I'm confused by the motive behind it... Just buy the sets... build the hangar... take the photos... display it. Everyone wins.

All right, enough is enough. We heard you, nokialover, you like older sets; there's no need for you to attempt to emphasize it by going off-topic. The purpose of this topic was to discuss which X-wing was the best, not to promote any of your sales, not to list random photos of sets, not to announce WIPs you're building, and not to bash or insult each other (and this applies to all of you, of course).

[nokialover31]

OK, let's remain in topic, you are right.

Does Anyone prefer 7140 x-wing like I do?

[Robianco]

[Sir Brickalot]

^ Hahaha, I'm sorry, that's the funniest response I've seen in a long time here.

[Lord-Vorahk]

Congratulations, Robianco, on the most beautiful response in thread history.

I can't understand this image, what is it? I see it's a LEGO head, but can't understand what else

It's an emoticon for ¨facepalm¨.

[nokialover31]

It's an emoticon for ¨facepalm¨.

What does that emoticon mean?!

[TWP]

I don't know how to explain that properly, but it basically means you've been explained something and make the same mistake again. It's usually an emoticon someone uses if he thinks someone cannot possibly be that stupid. Sounds harsh, I know

lind whisperer even included a link in his post with the explanation, even more, sorry,

don't take it personally.

I just want to see the hangar design now with each of the ships in place. I hope the OP is able to put something together that he's genuinely proud of.

Like any hobby I think it's important to do something you like rather than something you hope someone else will like. Even if there was nobody else in this thread who liked 7140 (but there are plenty of people who do) then you shouldn't take that as any reason not to build the hangar with your choice of X-Wing in there.

[TheBear]

Personally I think the first Lego X-Wing is the best. I'm talking of course about set 6824.

How could we forget about 6824?! Of course one the best X-Wings. Probably the most detailed X-Wing of all time. I like how accurate the colours are. So nokialover31, TheBear just proven that your 7140 set isn't the original X-Wing. I'm quessing you have to sell it now.

[Moon_Knight]

Cheers!

[nokialover31]

In my opinion, for a real collector, very first X-wing (7140) should be a must. Then, do what you want. But explain why, please.

[Lobot]

Could we possibly let this thread go? nokialover31, whilst I appreciate that you're obviously very passionate about a particular set it doesn't mean that everyone else has to be! We're all entitled to our own opinion and, amongst this knowledgeable community, they're all going to be equally valid

10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter is the best looking one by a long shot, not even a discussion about it in my mind

I respect your opinion. Thanks for sharing it. Anyone else?

Now you have become a wiser man (?) than yesterday , I personally like the latest one better but I do like the old blocky and sturdy feeling of ancient times, but those times are long gone.
