*Ship blasts Yoda*
*Lego Yoda death sound*
They need to make another minifig-scale version of these types of ships. The last one they did was pretty lame (75348).
Having never watched the show or had any of the sets, I only just realised that this has horizontal and vertical modes.
On first look, I tought it was skimming across water.
Gah! Rassinfrassin Star Wars sets getting so expensive these days! Couldn't give you _one_ more part to get it under ten cents per piece! I tell you...wait, whazzat? Extra pieces? Oh, uh, nevermind. We're all good, then.
Looks like it would be a bit fiddly to get in there to turn the cockpit around in order to replicate the rotating wing-frame
Is it just me or do the wings look oversized?

That is a different type of ship. Similar designs, and I think it is also supposed to be capable of rotating its wings, but it's not the same type of ship. That's a Fang Fighter, and the polybag depicts the larger Kom'rk-Class Fighter/Transport, also known as a Mandalorian Gauntlet.
Now this is podracing compared to the Advent model. It even has the rotating wings by the looks of it.

Ah, gotcha — I know what ship you're talking about now. Thx!
Still though, that one from 75348 was pretty pitiful.

Don't know if anyone else remembers this, but Yoda was EVERYWHERE in 2013, especially in regards to LSW, so this comment feels appropriate.
This was a nifty little set to put together. My oldest son and I got ours at TRU back when it came out and we still have them.

I just meant this type of ship (i.e. Mandalorian Fighters with wings that spin around the cockpit, which 75348 didn't have), not the specific model. 75316 was pretty cool — wish I would've gotten it.
