LEGO Star Wars Magazine # 4

May all those who have embarked on the regular purchase of the "official" LEGO Star Wars magazine published by Panini rest assured: The "gift" provided with number 3 (which will be on newsstands on September 30) will be quickly forgotten with the exit number 4.

After this "Imperial marksman"Out of nowhere, Panini comes to his senses and will make the effort to offer us a Star Destroyer accompanied by a Tie Fighter in the next issue of this magazine aimed at the youngest.

The Tie Fighter was provided in the Star Wars 2011 Advent Calendar (7958) and the Star Destroyer comes straight from the Star Wars 2012 Advent Calendar (9509).

Inside the magazine, the content does not change: two comics, two posters, some games and advertisements for LEGO products.

Again, nothing revolutionary, but these ships are at least actually from the Star Wars saga. It's always taken.

75102 swtfa xwing

The LEGO Star Wars set 75102 Poe's X-Wing Fighter is currently out of stock in the LEGO Shop. So far nothing surprising, this box is one of the bestsellers of the fall.

However, here and there we find customers who express their dissatisfaction because of a canopy that would have difficulty in holding in the closed position. From there to conclude that LEGO has temporarily withdrawn the set from its online store the time to correct this annoying "detail", there is only one step which it is nevertheless impossible to take, LEGO not having for the moment not communicated on the subject.

Question to all those who bought this set: Does the canopy of the cockpit of your copy close completely? If this is not the case, you can as usual contact customer service who will exchange the defective part.
