The trusty X-Wing fighters were excellent machines, good enough to withstand the freezing Hoth nights. They were frequently used for early morning orbital scout patrols during the rebel occupation on Hoth.

Two X-Wing fighters? Yup, we have two of those, although I never bought more than one. A couple of years ago we needed to have an X-Wing, the set was temporarily unavailable, so, I bought one online from a seller in New York. The box arrived quickly and we had a blast building the fighter. Two weeks later I got mail from the customs saying that there was a shipment for me. To my surprise there was another X-Wing from the same guy I bought the first one. It turned out the seller had mistakenly shipped me the same item twice, and due to the shipment and customs fees he deemed it wasn’t worth shipping back. I got to keep the extra set for the cost of shipping fees only, which was about $20. The best part of this was the fact that now, instead of having two similar fighters, we had both Luke’s and Wedge’s. How cool is that?

Oh, one more thing, someone keeps commenting my photostream with a link to a videocapture of a walker, or something. I would not click that link if I were you, it seems really shady.
