Another great build

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved working with Lego since I was a little boy 60 years ago! Leo has evolved into such an amazing company, putting together amazing builds:) Tusind Tak!!
The overall build was nonetheless moderate. Once I built the cockpit (chuckles up); I knew the minifigs weren’t compliant. The fact that they made a spot for the astromech droid is also a joke. The best build so far for me is th Y-Wing UCS, & Slave One UCS
I have never been so disappointed in a set my whole life. A collectors series set should not be sooo cheaply made. DONT send your money on this piece of garbage
I am just getting back into Lego building, loved it as a kid in the 70s and 80s. This is my second UCS set, the first being Luke Skywalker’s land speeder. I did enjoy this build, took about 10 hours total build time. I thought it was a little more challenging than the Landspeeder. I love the size of the model! I think it was pretty good value for the money. Also, I have always had a great experience with the pieces - I had all the pieces I needed to complete. I did find the end of the build a little fragile. As I was attaching the wings, some of the body side panels would pop off. As I put the panel on, another would pop off. This was frustrating. Overall, the model looks great! It was fun, and relaxing. I would have liked the side panels to be less fragile.
I have never screamed so many expletives in all my life. This thing falls apart the moment you add things to it. I had to use super glue to get things to stay. Horrible. How on earth did this ever pass the LEGO approval? Truly. I want a refund, sadly it was a Christmas gift.
Going in the garbage, because that’s where it belongs!
As long as you order the extra stand pieces you need before you receive the set the build process and display process goes very well. My canopy also came in a plastic bag so also glad lego updated that. Excellent model, the body is sturdy just be careful around the engine areas. The only problem with this set is the stand issue that lego will happily fix. 5/5 set looks great.
I was very reluctant to buy this because of the reviews and cost but I am very satisfied with my purchase. I’m 50 and fell in love with legos again after a Christmas present and haven’t looked back. I’ve seen a few reviews talking about nose cones or wings not fitting properly and I did have a few problems at first but I’ve learned if it doesn’t seem to fit or work properly to stop and look again. This has helped me numerous times. Not that it wasn’t put properly in the instructions how to do it but I think many times after building LEGOS for an hour your mind may drift a bit and mistakes happen. Mine functions extremely well and everything fit perfectly except for one piece I was having a small problem with but as the build progressed it fit into another and no problems after.
I think if you read bad reviews it may actually not be so much LEGOS fault on this one. Just from what I have seen.
SPOILER ALERT: The only thing I was not very found of other than the one piece I couldn’t get to fit 100% correctly (I think) was one part needs rubber bands. Not that it’s horrible or anything at all and after finishing the build I completely see why it was done but it’s legos, not rubber bands. Also not a fan of the beginning of the manual at all but you can’t please everyone.
In my opinion very well worth the money and time you spend creating it. I’d definitely do it again and look forward to my next build.
