Pass On This
on November 13, 2024
Posted by: EMN8844
Cool idea but the overall build is very flimsy and falls apart easily. Wings do not stay on and side panels fall off so easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worst build ever.
on October 27, 2024
Posted by: Shiv
This build is absolutely awful. The side panels of the body of the ship barely stay on and if they come off they're a nightmare to reattach, especially once the wings are in place. The base came apart and collapsed and a ton of stuff fell off, and I would need to rebuild the entire set to fix it. Don't waste your money. I'm a diehard Lego fan but this was an absolutely horrible experience.

We're sorry to hear that your build isn't going according to plan. A fix for the base is available, so please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can send those parts. We'll also be happy to troubleshoot the model as well.

The overall design of the ship is very nice looking, but the wings really ruin it. The engines look a little too big in my opinion, but most of the problems are with the wing design. It sags, so you cant display it with the wings closed. The wings are slightly crooked, because the back part of the engine tilts them. The single rubber band used to hold the wings is not sufficient, especially given that the older smaller sets used 2 per wing. The set will not age well as the wings continue to sag.

Good set but not sturdy
on August 24, 2024
Posted by: WizardSuccessfulLizard101
While this set looks nice and was pretty fun to build my main concern is sturdyness. The panels located in the back around the winds are only held on by a few studs each making them flimsy and would fall off easily. I also noticed that the winds tend to flop around if you twist the set

Extremely fragile,
on August 19, 2024
Posted by: Thewongsrx
If you buy this, be aware this build is fragile. The pieces on the wings, the display stand, and side panels will pop off easily. The display stand isn’t strong enough to support the aircraft and often the two pieces that hold up the set will pop off causing the x-wing to drop about a centimeter. Even though that isn’t a lot, the drop is strong enough to have wing pieces fall off. There are noticeable gaps along the fuselage as well.
As a display piece, this is an ok set. If you want to manipulate it any way, be very careful.

Great set with a few flaws
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: C_Dee
This is a fun build, took me about a week since the wings are repetitive and I did one wing per day. I don't like to rush my builds. But, the attention to detail here is wonderful. The cockpit looks fantastic, the detail on the wings and engines are really nice, the greebling on the top and back of the main body is great, and I like the Luke Skywalker minifigure - very cool detail there.
The wing opening/closing mechanism is interesting - it's a rubber band - but it isn't very sturdy. They do "lock" into place but not very firmly, so for display, you have to mess with it a little as the wings and laser cannons also won't always sit straight when displayed. I had to use a folded piece of paper hidden beneath a wing, placed between the wing and body, to hold it straight while on display. It's very easy to tell when the wings aren't straight because of the four laser cannons and four rear engines, but it's a simple adjustment. I don't mind having to use a piece of paper because you can't see it unless you look behind the model, but it is a flaw.
The model is also fragile, small pieces can pop off easily, as can some of the body paneling. But this is not a play set. The included stand is nice, and necessary, but the angle is off because aiming the X-wing upward means that it is difficult to see the best detail of the model - the top of the wings, the top of the body, and the cockpit. So I simply turned the stand sideways so the X-wing is, instead, level and banking to one side so you can see the body and wing detail.
I also added a light kit, which is challenging with this model (other models, like the UCS Millennium Falcon, make the wires easier to hide), but it really makes it come alive.
Overall, if you love Star Wars and love the X-wing, this is a great model. It just takes some patience and understanding that it isn't perfect, the wings are repetitive builds, it may take some fussing around to display it correctly, and it is for display only. Otherwise, a very good UCS model that fits great in my collection. I just wish the Luke minifigure could fit in the cockpit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst design out of all UCS X-Wings
on August 7, 2024
Posted by: Xwingfanatic
When this set is lifted up, pieces fall off on the back sides of the wings. The studless round pieces on the laser cannon arms all have gaps between them and slide around on the arm back and forth loose. I would rather have the cockpit have printed pieces versus stickers. I wish they didn’t use any stickers on UCS models. The use of rubber bands on the wings is a downgrade. There’s also some pieces that catch when opening and closing the wings. The wings in the open position will get stuck open if it’s turned all the way. The only way to get the wings closed again is to turn the knob while holding the wings further open. This has several illegal builds including placing bricks sideways between studs in the engine intakes. It felt like this entire set was designed by a team with no building skills. Worst design for the targeting system in the cockpit. I wish you guys could hire someone like Jerac to make a UCS X-wing.
