7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter is a Star Wars set released in January 2011[1]. The set includes new Imperial Pilot and R2-Q2 Astromech Droid Minifigures.
Notes
- This set is the first set to contain R2-Q2.
- Only R2-Q2's dome can be fitted to the V-wing, as there is no actual socket for the droid.
- Several Imperial V-wings can be seen in the last scenes of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, in the final scene featuring Darth Vader. However, there is no explicit evidence that shows the appearance of this specific model.
- The inclusion of R2-Q2 in a V-wing is somewhat ambiguous. Even as V-wings were redecorated with Imperial paint jobs, the Q7-series astromech droid (as opposed to an R2-series) remained red. As this set is unlikely to reflect actual Star Wars canon, such an issue remains to be debated.
- This set was released shortly before January 2011 in some LEGO Shop outlets.
- In 2006 a Republic version of the V-Wing was released in 6205 V-Wing Fighter.
