Hi all. Well I've definitely gone down the rabbit hole since I started collecting again. I now have 5 different variations of X-Wing whizzing their way to me from around the globe!
I'm looking for some advice. My interest is only in lose vehicles (I leave boxed items for the more seasoned collectors) from the original trilogy (so no POTF, Droids or later) and the only minirig I have or want to have in my collection is the glider as its movie-canon. And I'm now looking to have a single variant of every model produced - and I'm very nearly there
There are dozens of sites and guides detailing the different international variants of the ships and vehicles, but most of them talk extensively about the packaging differences - I'm trying to get a list of the physical differences. From what I've read, there aren't that many. Would anyone care to check my homework to see if I've missed any?
