Fragile and flimsy
on March 14, 2025
Posted by: AssistantElegantDareth104
Overall, this was probably my least favorite set I've built due to the how flimsy various parts are and how fragile this is. My biggest complaint is the side panels around the body and cockpit. The larger pair of the two repeatedly broke while attempting to place them on the body and the two anchor points definitely don't feel sturdy enough. The wing mechanism also feels extremely under built for the weight of the wings and is easy to go past the stopping point which required disassembly to fix. Small complaint but the gun barrels have a gap between the white and blue spacers because the rods are too long. This was also the first set in my life that had missing parts. This set was nerve wracking the entire build due to how fragile it is and manipulating various parts into place made it feel like the entire thing would fall apart. Once the set it complete it will only be good as a display piece that I'm afraid to move around unfortunately.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful Detail, but extremely fragile!
on March 9, 2025
Posted by: CousinSatisfiedBasket103
I was very excited about this purchase. It was a reward for me. The detail is very good! What is not good is the very minimal and poor connections for the long side pieces. There are several opportunities for connections but none were taken. These side pieces will almost fall off if you look at them too hard. LOL! I have constructed several Lego sets and this is such a disappointment. If you want this set just understand that it is to look at only. I moved it a few times and parts fell off during two of the moves, and I am very careful! Had I known what I know now I would have passed this one up!

Pretty low quality

As a person who built room full of lego ranging from star wars, marvel, cars, buildings, small and big project, technic, i have shirts of Lego- a big fan of Lego- the xwing has been the most frustrating piece of lego i ever built. It stood on the table for over two months waiting to be put together because the patience to deal with poor design (putting together, not visually) and the will werent there. A lot of pieces are flimsy, you push one in, the other one falls out because pieces are holding onto just a few "dots/stubs" (not sure the proper name) on another lego. The nose of the x wing is more likely to fall apart than hold together (after i checked it a few times for a mistake in case i put it together wrong).... i got the feeling that it is cheap and that that it needed to be done with as little as possible parts, because what used to be sturdy and "secure" in older lego builds, where even if you dropped it- it would hold together.... its not the case with this one. Hopefully not all new lego series will be this poor and frustrating.
Just a few pics uploaded because i didnt take too many, but hope you get the point.

One the most frustrating builds I ever done this set is only a set I would recommend as a viewing the most fragile set I ever built when attaching parts others fell off it’s a great looking piece to view at the end the build like a piece of art very satisfying to see at end from all the hassle of reattaching parts as they fall off. Also it really only stays in attack mode when built with wings spread from the weight.Just so you know what your getting into.

The end product is amazing and very impressive, but the wing mechanism is so weak and finicky. Turning the knob is not satisfying at all and seams to work half the time. Not to mention you guys have me multiple wrong and missing pieces. The set didn’t even include the pieces for part of the stand and gave me multiple wrong size tile pieces for the side plating. Not happy with the building process.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no! It's disappointing when your build isn’t going as planned. Please give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can get the parts you need requested and help you with the build.

I purchased this x-wing after reading the reviews about the side panels falling off. I should have heeded the warnings. The side panels around the wing mounts do not stay on due to a poor design. Any time i move it it just falls apart in my hand. I purchased an aftermarket stand that I can't even use because the x-wing falls apart while I try to mount it. I have been building lego for decades and this is by far the most fragile set i ever owned.

Challenging and rewarding
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: BaronessShyRaisin104
The UCS X-WING is stunning! It was challenging at times to build as the side panels can come off easily but once you get them on you are fine. A lot of complaints about the sturdiness but it’s not bad it’s just challenging to build at times but totally doable and all apart of the experience.
Definitely buy it! It looks so cool in person!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid until you want to fly

This build is an interesting one. Just the body of the ship is substantial and dense, you can tell it can take a hit or two. The wings on the other hand… I appreciate what they did and how they did it. The mechanism is simple yet effective but the actual wings are completely unstable and WILL break eventually if you actually use it. I rebuilt it just to make sure I didn’t mess up anything but the wings would not want to reliably stay on.
