Lego needs to pull this set off of shelves immediately. I just tore this apart after building it 6 months ago and having the wing mechanism break and the sides fall off constantly. Thought maybe I did something wrong so I rebuilt it and same garbage. This should not be sold. Shame on you Lego.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Flimsy but good looking build
on May 23, 2023
Posted by: GleefulInfernox024
As others have noted, this one is very flimsy. However, the completed model looks great. I built the previous UCS X-wing, and while I do like the looks of the new one, the mechanism to open/close the wings is MUCH better on older model (easier to turn/less of a worry pieces are going to break off). Overall a good model, but if you have the previous version, I’d probably pass on this one unless you are a completist.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks great. Fun build. Super flimsy. Expensive.

Posted by: KeenAnteater035
I knew this one didn’t match up price-wise with some other similar size ships. I have built both the Guardians ship and Batwing. Both were more detailed builds and considerably less expensive. The X-Wing is iconic though and will look great mounted on my wall, so I paid the extra money. The build was fun. The wing adjust knob works well, but overall the thing is super flimsy. Taking the X-Wing off the stand and walking upstairs caused numerous panels to fall off the side and were tedious to put back on without completely removing the wings. There is no right way to hold the model without it breaking. It’s on the wall now in one piece, so I’m happy, but there might have been some foul language getting it there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic

This is my favorite UCS set since the UCS Star Destroyer. great build, looks fantastic. My only complaint would be R2. They should have used the same piece from the 2010 Obi Wan Starfighter set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

kind of flimsy
on March 23, 2024

while putting this together I noticed more parts fall off during assembly and once it was finished. It appears to be larger than USC 10240, but in reality they are about the same size. Overall is it a good build but 10240 was far better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Save your money and avoid the frustration

Very disappointed in this set for all the reasons others have mentioned. It's flimsy and poorly designed. Pieces just fall off while it's sitting on the shelf The build itself was ok, but the finished product just doesn't have the stability it needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy John, LEGO® Customer Service, July 13, 2024
We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with this build. If pieces aren't stable, rebuilding from an earlier stage might be necessary. Sometimes there may be a piece just slightly off from where it should be. You'll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. We're standing by at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!

Bad reviews are wrong

First of all, I was missing a piece on the stand. However, knowing lego’s reputation, I expect to have it replaced since it wasn’t on the actual fighter, but on the stand. I’m a 32 year old and this is my second Lego set I’ve ever built. I’m a huge Star Wars fan and saw this after watching the original trilogy on tv over Christmas and I had to get it. The flimsiness comments are from either people that try to speed build or don’t know how to follow directions. It’s a model for 18+, so if you’re playing with a model as an 18 year old, you may need to reevaluate your situation. If your kid wants to play with it, don’t let them, there are instructions at the front of the manual on how to hold the model correctly. Again, follow instructions and panels won’t fall off as others have said. Kind of funny seeing Lego snobs complain about this, clear indication they just speed build their sets. It’s a beautiful set and the engineering on it is amazing. Kudos to Lego designers, don’t know how they do this stuff.

To understand this review, I think it's important to understand the context. The Lego UCS X-Wing is not only an iconic Star Wars image, it's also the OG UCS Set (7191). It's basically the flagship model. It's a big deal and it comes with high expectations.
As a lifelong Lego fan, I've always wanted a UCS X-Wing, but I missed the first couple. I was absolutely thrilled when this one came out, and I had high hpes that I think are reasonable given the legacy of the UCS X-Wing. I was stoked to pre-order it, and more excited about it than any of the other UCS sets I've ordered.
This set - I hate to say - is a flop. It's not terrible in an abstract, fully removed sense, but given what a UCS X-Wing should be, it's a miss. It compares poorly against other UCS sets. The flaws are so numerous, and so obvious, that in my opinion it should have never shipped.
1) The stand breaks. If you ask, Lego will ship you some additional pieces to fix it. Still, ridiculous.
2) You can't fit a minifig in the cockpit.
3) The wings / aspect ratio are just... off. You can lengthen the wings by one stud and it helps, but you shouldn't have to.
4) It's incredibly fragile. Arguably others are fragile too, like the Snowspeeder, but the Snowspeeder is awesome in other ways and still more durable than this. The X-Wing's got a bunch of pieces that just fall off if you touch them. Zero play value, even given low expectations for playing with a UCS set.
5) The wings sag if not in X position, so you can't really pose it. I always liked the vibe of the non-attack-position X wing, but nope.
6) The wing gears loosen over time due to a bad design, and feel sloppy when adjusted. They depend on a plate on the top maintaining tension, and it has a tendency to push up and detach. Not very obvious when it happens, making the set feel imprecise.
7) The greebling on the exterior, and the general detail, is lower than sets like the Snowspeeder, Tie Interceptor, and Y Wing.
8) A lot of visually important pieces are attached by one stud, so they get misaligned.
I'll note that a lot of these issues have community fixes. But that says something; they're all pretty much all fixable, but simply weren't. I have no idea what happened behind the scenes, but the result feels rushed, sloppy, unfinished. Just a bummer.
It deserves the overall low rating, unfortunately, and I wish the designer had done better. This is the only UCS set I have that I can't recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
