When they replaced Obi-wan's red starfighter with the V-wing, I thought "wither the dark red R4 head?" Dark red is one of Lego's newer colors and one of my favorites, and check out how cool that head is (there he is on Obi-wan's port wing, there). Well, imagine my delight when I spotted the same piece on the V-wing, which is not only available in the Ultimate Space Battle set I'm never going to buy, but is also coming up as a (much cheaper) single set. With that plus the Clone Pilot, my favorite of the Sith Clone minifigs, the V-wing is a definite future purchase. See R4 up there? On the roof behind the cockpit, partially obscured behind those wings? Hiya!

Oh my god! When I was posting stuff for the 'thon, I recall my frustration that every picture would appear at the top of the post after I uploaded it. It never occured to me to grab the whole fat loaf of html language representing the picture and move it. If not for your Star Wars primer down there, who knows when I would've figured that out. Kudos!
Damn, you now know the secret! I wanted you to be impressed. I like to be thanked.
I'm not so into that V-wing but I really dig Obi's fighter. Are these "retired" at this point?
Surprisingly, they haven't offered Obi-wan's fighter as a single set for 2006 yet, but I figure they will.
I admit that that picture really does make it look suave -- I'm affected myself. But the set (I have Anakin's yellow version) isn't really all that great.
