Code 3 X-wing or Efx X-wing?

Code 3 X-wing

Hi. just want to find out how the two compare from those who have owned them?

Thanks

Well..

The eFx version is much bigger...and it lights up

Code 3 is cool because it comes with accessories...
Also, there are 2 versions- signature (limited to 1000) non-sig is limited to 5000.

You thinkin' of buying one ?

Unfortunately I know

Dont compare it to any other x-wing. It's not that accuarate.

You haven't whether you like it or not.

I started on Code 3, I loved the X-Wing, but it doesn't compare to the eFX one. (alas, i missed out on this one.) It is good for the price though. ($300 for Code 3, $1200 for eFX.) Nice to see that there's still a demand for this. The same can be said for their Millennium Falcon.

Excellent man , congrats , Code 3 it's a fine piece .

Just amazes me the arguements over figure accuaracy on these borads but not over the hardware.

To each their own.

At the risk of opening a can of worms, can you elaborate more?

I googled and searched but didn't find any info on this.

thanks.

ok guys, opened her up and took a ton of photos

In short, I'm pleasantly surprised. Wasn't expecting much but code 3 surprised me with the level of detailing and quality.

The only thing if I were to nitpick would be the stand. It took a bit to figure out how to use it and the fit was somewhat so close that opening the wings required care so you do not chip the paint job on the lower engine.

But all in all, I'm a happy man. It captures my childhood memory of Red 5 and that without using the landing gear and ladder!

Let the pics do the talking

that looks great.
how much is that?

It retailed for $300. I got it quite close to retail :chew

Code 3 made really cool ships and vehicles back then, maybe they are not studio scale but still really cool and since they are made of metal it's even better. I only have the AT-ST, due to my Imperial focus, and looking for the Vader's TIE (regular preferably, don't like the damage).
