One just sold on eBay but the price is hidden. It did not sell for $2199 but sold as a "best offer". Apparently their housekeeping is as bad is how they handled the Scout Helmetto keep finding this stuff just laying around.

It sold for $1,900.00 and you can find it here by entering the auction number 233060410033. It is the same tool for any Best Offer Accepted auction. : FlipperTools

No other company can afford or deserves it?

I would still wait, there are still a few Millenium Falcon's coming, because these boxes are also very quickly overlooked in the warehouse.Also, the price will be a bit higher, but no matter, it may be an artist proof!!
!!
In good condition, I’d say $3000-4000 USD
Yes, notwithstanding any random Artist Proofs that pop-up and eFX may try to sell for $8,000 USD, I think there are only 838 that were released.
3rd one was a real auction and the last one I found, if there will be any new auction I'll be posting it as well:

I could have bought one in the Netherlands for 2400 Euro + personal pick up (about 2 hours of driving for me).

Are you looking for one?
I have a question concerning the X-Wing to all owners.
from these pictures on the sale thread it looks like the x-wing is not 100% horizontal:
Was the intention of eFX to have the front a bit higher than the back so that it looks like the X-Wing lifts off a bit?

As far as I know they all tend to sit like that. There is actually a electrical connection that runs through the pole that connects to the xwing before placing it on the pole.
Here's a quick pic if mine. Sorry for the quality but you can see they look pretty similar.

I am tending to agree Chris as I cant look at mine at home at the moment. As all the weight on the model is in the wings and engines extensions that is rearward on the pole and the pole is only secured but a single screw below. There may be a slight tilt up. At least its not the EFX Tie fighter tilt that they all tend to have to one side. I had to pull the pole apart on that one. Reglue the plastic acrylic plug in the pole and sand off the excess and then not over tighten the screw. Then it was level probably for the first time since new.
My EFX TIE doesn't have that problem
EVERYONE I have seen for sale on Ebay have that problem Sergiu. I am sure there are exceptions. Glad to hear you did not have to take those measures I did. I believe it occurs if the pole is over tightened GC
I have seen 2 other EFX TIEs in person in a couple friends' collections, and also quite a few in various displays online, none had that issue.
Not a good angle to judge how horizontal it is, but it looks okay to me.
No argument
I guess it is all about how it was assembled, if the owner wasn't assembling it correctly it could have had this issue. I always assemble the stuff I got with the most care, and I think many others are too.

Very nice! Can't wait to see it! Where did you get the pedestal?
I'm waiting on my EFX X-Wing acrylic case to come in. I hear it's big...

Its not just big its heavy !!!!!!! Will not fit in a small car. Chris has them ordered (Pedestals) and then he does the texturing and painting himself !!!! As he really has the hang of it by now lol....... Chris always has pedestals rising lately
EFX over-packed em and its a box in a box concept to protect them. Which is why they survived. Well done where did you find one FuzzyWampa ? I found mine on Ebay about 6 months ago. GC

I'm going to be a little tight lipped on who it it because I'm negotiating with them on some other items, but the case is still in it's original box never opened and I only paid the shipping cost for it.

If you are in Europe you can get any pedestal you like. I order them raw so I can give them the 1 to 1 look of my basement, but you can get them in any kind of form, colour, with or without acrylic cover etc...

My next one is for the eFX Tie Fighter, still looking for one that I can get in mint with all boxes for 1.8K, for that price I will buy immediately.
I can recommend them, fast, cheap, perfect quality.
Good job on finding one by the way, I had to get a different car for that box, it's bigger than the box of the X-Wing itself and it does not fit in the trunk of my car. Make sure you get it, because it is absolutely worth it!!! That square base is badass and really heavy, much better than the base the X-Wing came with. Also you do not need to get a custom made cover for it (so money saved haha).

Anyone have an opinion of a fair price for an EFX X-Wing with the limited base that was sold separately? Thinking of selling mine and was curious.
Thanks!
Thanks!
