This is the latest news which I'm not sure how the fans are going to react. Definitely a good chance for those that have not own one UCS X-wing to own one now. Below are the details from Brickset:

It is officially launch, so I assume it it ok to post them since is everywhere on the world wide web now. I will say this new version looks kinda cool although I never once bought any UCS set due to the reason I'm more into minifigs. Good news to those that are going it. The set itself will be release in May 2013.
