FS:FT ESB Boxed X-Wing - Red box - Mint Condition!

[jaymassive619]

Hi All

I have for sale / for trade my minty mint ESB X-wing boxed and complete this was the rist ESB release of the x-wing.(See guide below for different release editions)

The ship is in amazing condition with nearly zero yellowing (See pic's), clear cockpit, fully working electrics, boxed, inserts, booklet and instructions. More pictures available on request!

The instruction leaflet and offer booklet show the Starwars Logo as opposed to ESB this was how i purchased it. As this version was released straight after the SW editions (see below guide) it is possible they weren't updated for this release however this is unconfirmed at the moment.

Please send any offers via PM.

I'm looking to trade for C9+ Minty loose figures complete with original accessories im specifically looking at trading this item for last 17 figures

For Sale at £100 or best offer


Note this is the first ESB edition x-wing with the red back ground and it only had a limited shelf period. This version of the ship is very hard to find in this condition.

Additional Pictures!

Does the instruction leaflet also have the LP logo like the catalog Jay?

Hi Emeil

I just looked at the instructions and they also have the LP Logo on them the same as the booklet.

I had a PM from a friend in the US who said he had a ESB 1st issue Red box x-wing same issue as mine a few years back and it also came with SW logo instructions and booklet. So maybe as this issue was released for only a very short period (approx 6 months) and came straight after the SW Logo Red box X-wing it could be feasible that the instructions weren't updated??

To Emiel - I have had it confirmed by a number of collectors on RS that this issue of the X-Wing came with Starwars logo instructions / booklet.

I have now added a ton of additional pictures as i have had a few PM's wanting more pic's.

Cheers Jay
