Atomic Mass Games Star Wars: X-Wing (2nd Ed.) - Accessories - Maneuver Dial - First Order

Q: Does this need the huge ships conversion kit to be playable in second edition?

In short: No In length: I purchased this and it comes as advertised as a 2nd Edition ship. The huge ship conversion kit is only needed to use 1st Edition (boxes that have the word “miniature” under the XWING title but don’t specify dual compatibility with 2nd edition) during 2nd edition games. I have used this and the Corellian Corvette in 2nd edition games without issue. Both are well balanced ships I feel.

Q: Can the “wings” fold down like in the show?

No they are fixed wings. However if you feel up to it you can hinge the wings from the bottom pretty easily if you want to modify the model

Q: Do the wings on the side rotate or are they fixed like Boba's Slave 1?

The side wings are still fixed on the new model.

Q: You mean people use this for more than just a toy they play the game?

This is a tabletop miniature for X-Wing: The Miniatures Game, version 2.0. It comes with cards and templates that allow you to fly the ship following the (somewhat complex) rules of the game. A lot of Star Wars fans simply buy these model to put on display because they look really cool. I wouldn't call it a toy, though.
