In this set it was going great till i got to bag 3 and I was building a side panel and i got a grey 8 stud flat piece instead of the 6 stud flat piece. I looked everywhere for it and no where. I am not going to put on the 8 stud flat piece b/c it would make the X-Wing not pretty. The body of the X- Wing on its side kept falling off connecting to the 2 clips on the left side when looking at the X-wing. It is not stable. It needs more pieces to be stable. I also already had a missing piece in Darth Mauls sith infiltrator and I was already pretty upset that i now have 2 sets with missing pieces. Some things of this set kept falling off whenever i needed to lift up the X-wing. Like for example when i needed to place it on the stand. Some panels fell off and it kept making me angry. Speaking of the stand, on the stand near the top middle-ish there is 2 little circle pieces resting underneath the X-wing, my bags did not have the two circle pieces. So i had to rearrange with two different circle pieces that go on the shooters of the wing instead, (pictures will help know what I’m talking about). But after stress being removed I finally built it and it looks amazing. Especially next to my UCS Falcon. I have never once in my 13-14 years of building legos, experienced a set with missing pieces, (I’m 19). Maybe you reading this will get a different better experience, it kinda felt like I had a used purchase UCS X wing instead of a new one considering with all the missing pieces i had in this one. Enjoy your day!

I really don't understand the negative reviews on this set. People talking about it being flimsy and falling apart during the build process? This build was a lot of fun and went together well with zero issues. It's not a play set, it's a display model. If you want to play with it, then buy the mash up set. Good job Lego for putting out another awesome UCS set.

Disappointing and Too Fragile
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: IntellectualKoala082
I hate writing bad reviews, but the design on this X-Wing is pretty rough. The sides of the main body are held to the main central piece by two small pieces that pop off whenever you try and install sections around it. It added a great deal of time and frustration to building. The wings are pretty flimsy in areas, but that isn't the overall concern. It is kind of a bad design and I wish that there were more stability because I can't display it without pieces falling off as I set it up. For the price I had hoped it would be more stable like the A-Wing or Daily Bugle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I decided to splurge on myself by purchasing this set for May the 4th and unfortunately it has been extremely disappointing. The terrible reviews you see are there for a reason. I received my set rather quickly. I opened up the first bag and there’s were pieces missing. Not one or two, but 43 pieces that were not in the first bag of many. Given the price of this set I find it ridiculous for there to be so many pieces missing. And frankly, even with LEGO offering to send every missing piece it’s frustrating. What guarantee do I have that every single bag is not missing a bunch of pieces. Do I have to contact LEGO every day when I find pieces missing? I’m being sent a new set but Lego definitely needs more quality control, especially for the prices we are paying. Think twice, thrice, or 100 times and think if you want to take the gamble. I took it and found disappointment.

LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH

Once you get it together and have a permanent spot to put it, it's OK. But if you have to relocate it, that's when pieces start to fall off. You can't potion the wings very well, I think if the rubber bands were a bit stronger that would resolve the issue. For the price you shouldn't have to.

ZERO Stars

This looks cool and the size is great, however BEWARE this set is SUPER flimsy. Once built don't ever touch it again. The nose panels and the body panels are barely being held on. You can not pick this model up without something falling off of it, seriously there is NO good place to pick this model up from.
This is super delicate! I built mine and immediately put it in a plexiglass display (like all my other builds). I had to move the display and basically every panel popped off.
I know you can say it's me not the set, but having built Death Star, Hulkbuster, Titanic, Slave 1, Millennium falcon (table top one) etc... NO other set is anywhere like this one. Bad design.

This set is a flimsy piece of trash
on April 20, 2025
Posted by: AssociateRichYak105
First of all, this set completely lacks any technic, when I was building the wings, the internal parts of the set started breaking due to the lack of sturdiness. Not to mention, the color of the nose is completely off and I encountered at least 3 missing pieces. The set itself doesn't even look that good the stand keeps breaking. I have built the Tie Interceptor UCS and the Republic Gunship UCS before and have never encountered any building problems. I am extremely disappointed, to say the least.

Awesome X-Wing
on April 1, 2025
Posted by: Bigdawg
Don’t understand all the hate for this set and the 3.1 stars! This really is a nice set to have for the collection, the overall aesthetic of it is awesome and I’m glad I have it. This is my first UCS set, the experience definitely meets the standards in my books. Only problem I had was with the build, the technic mechanism that allows the wings to open and close was a bit difficult for me. Besides that, I’m glad I have this iconic starfighter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
