Still wondering....

[SWAFMAN]

As mentioned in my post describing the 2002 AF x-wing (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=145671#post145671),
"The R2 unit is tight enough in the fuselage that I'm not willing to pull any harder than I already have tried, and although it feels a little loose, I could not pull it out. I don't know for sure if it's been glued-in or not."

Has anyone yet determined whether the R2 unit does or doesn't come out from its socket in the new x-wing?

I wouldn't be suprised if they did have the R2 unit mold and were just gluing them in. It'd be harder for them to have taken the X-wing mold, molded on the R2 and had to worry about painting that as well during production for the X-wing.
