Got the 2000 original version so I passed this one up, but recently I have been tempted in my search of complete lines from the earlier years of LEGO Star Wars. It all depends on where my cutoff line is for completion.
20 seconds of screen time but multiple sets, including a UCS.
And I remember something about a guy making a blade wing from Rebels and a Lego staffer saying they wouldn’t make it cause b-wings sell poorly. I was so confused. There’s so many of them.
I love me some B-Wings. I think it’s about time for a new one.
^^^ True that, and I'm still waiting for the UCS X34 landspeeder (Luke's).
The set is comparable to the 2014 version.
Yes, you are right LEGO has released a lot of B-wing.
This one is my preferred.
This one's not a bad set and is still my system-scale B-Wing. 2014's offering is better, but not quite better enough for me. She is due for a refresh. Now the UCS model, on the other hand, is magnificent.
I never had any of the older SW sets other than the 7153 Slave I, but last year a colleague sold his son's SW collection as his son had "outgrown" LEGO - don't we all know that false impression ;-)
Anyway, this was one of the sets I bought from him. Apart from the instructions it was in more or less as new condition. Not bad for 15 Euro :-)
I have a B-Wing not sure if its this one. But i like the looks of it.
This is the set that got me back into lego. Always been a fan of the b-wing
This model hit at the perfect time when I had a lot of time and no money, but I had this set and I built and rebuilt the thing constantly. The stand was so cool to me at the time, pretty great way to display such a weird ship.
I missed the 2014-15ish wave, so wish LEGO would come out with a new B-Wing! It's the only Rebel System-Size ship I don' have.
Ten Numb. You crazy Sullustan. You always make us aware we don’t have Nien yet.
B-Wings are the best btw
I still have mine! Great memories.
Disney seems to want to bury the Bwing. It's getting passed over by the boring Ywing in media and sets. :(
Got it for my 11th birthday, still have assembled
I have this one, and man it's so cheap compared to modern star wars sets!
"Lock S-foils into attack position!"
I really dig B-wings; not sure why but I just think they are a really cool design. I have this set as well as the 2014 version and the UCS set. I was lucky enough to get the UCS version when TLG had it for 50% off. Wish we'd see sales like that again.

Yeah, me too. Just think they also had desirable stuff like Haunted House or Town Hall for 50% off at the end of their lifespan.
