Trench Run!

This isn't a bad set, especially considering the target audience, but sadly I still can't pull myself to recommend it. (the only reason why it gets a "good" overall rating is because of the fact that this is aimed at young kids)
This is a rare instance where I think the secondary build is better in it's execution than the main one. The ground build had nice coloring, detail, and playability, with the turret head being able to spin around and even fire projectiles via the disk shooter. You can also angle the guns on the turret up and down. The ability to take off canisters from it as well helps with playability.
The X-Wing however, is where the set suffers. The only main problem in my opinion is the cockpit piece, which looks quite horrible and is very jarring. If they could have designed the Starfighter to be able to use the proper piece, it would have made such a big difference. The fact that this X-Wing can't house R2 even though he is included is also a minor issue. The printed pieces are great though, and the wings look good for the scale.
The minifigures are great in this set. Luke looks very proper and has the older helmet design and his lightsaber. You also get R2, and a regular stormtrooper for ground battles.
In conclusion, this is a mixed bag of a set. It isn't bad, or by any means a waste of money, but some poor execution in the X-Wing design keeps this set from reaching it's potential. For kids, this should be fine though, as they probably won't take as much of an issue with the problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A great little set to get an X-Wing starfighter!

Even though this set was made for younger kids, I think it’s a great way to get an X-Wing, since regular sized ones are a little pricey! Nice shooting turret, and the best stormtrooper minifigure up to date! Would recommend!

My Nephew Loves It!

I sent this as a birthday present for my nephew’s 5th birthday. We share a love of Star Wars and he didn’t have any ships yet, so this looked like a fun set. He opened it over Messenger Video and was so thrilled about getting the set, he started to build it right away! Even though he is below the age of recommended building, he still had a fairly easy time building the entire thing over video chat. He is really enjoying the lasers he can shoot at the X-wing. The kid loves it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice set

I purchased this set for the X-Wing and after building it I wasn't happy with the Cockpit windshield. I know the set is for young Lego Star Wars fans and I'm sure that they would enjoy this set which is very basic. I liked that the pieces were printed instead of using stickers. I did extend the fighter with spare parts so R2 could fit but it's better to play with instead of having it as a display. I liked the mini figures and the turret that fires the projectiles which adds to the playability. Not a bad set and it’s very easy to build, it’s just that the X-wing would have been better if it had a proper windshield.
I would recommend this to a friend!
