I'm sorry to say that I must echo many of the other reviews here. Unfortunately, it turned out to be our most disappointing Lego build, ever.
The problems come down to this: the completed build is incredibly fragile. I understand that it is designed (and even advertised) for display. But fact is, the model doesn't hold up well even when being constructed.
Body plates are often held to the model with a single brick; if you knock that brick while attaching another one, good luck putting it back (you need a child's fingers in some cases). Likewise, the X-wing deployment mechanism depends upon ... rubber bands. It's hard to imagine those bands will remain durable for very long, even in a display model.
And the X-wings themselves - they neither open, nor close, cleanly. Even when "closed" they maintain a gap.
Worst of all, the stand for this very heavy Lego is extremely unstable. Pieces fall off if you move it from one location to another, and I am waiting for it to collapse entirely.
This X-wing is really beneath the standards I expect of Lego. Buy something else, I say!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stop crying
on May 4, 2023

This set is EXACTLY what it's made to be. Stop your crying about the price. People want legit reviews, not someone crying. Don't like it? Don't buy it! The set is fine. I enjoyed building it and it sits right next to my xwing micro, xwing polybag, and xwing play size. It's exactly what they wanted it to be. Go buy knockoff bricks and build your own MOC'S!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The x-wing has returned!!
on May 4, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
I was excited to know the X-Wing has returned! I feel it pays homage to the original ultimate collectors x-wing. Hopefully Lego brings out collectors series of Slave 1 and Darth Vader's tie-fighter 🤞

Build Issues
on May 13, 2023
Posted by: Andrew
I've built several UCS sets (AT-AT, Gunship, and A-Wing) and had a great experience with them all. This build however is not up to the same standards. Several sections of the build seem extremely flimsy (particularly the front fuselage) and I came away disappointed with this set.

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.

Not fun
on September 15, 2023
Posted by: BlissfulPenguin088
I do not recommend this build. I am on my 4th attempt to build this. Every time you get close to finishing everything falls apart. Then you need to rebuild the middle in order to attempt to attach the wings again. Not sure if I will ever finish this build without it breaking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good quality display model
on May 18, 2023
Posted by: Arthas
I've wanted an UCS X-Wing for awhile and I'm really happy with how this model turned out! This looks like an update and reprint from the previous two UCS X-Wing sets and is the same scale/size. Compared to the minifig-scale 75218, this larger scaled UCS gives room for extra details over all the surfaces. There are four stickers total. Luke has a painted visor and a smaller helmet compared to 75218's Luke. I personally didn't encounter any difficulties building the kit—it was a pleasant build. The model can be easily handled near the back/bottom without breaking, but it's built for display and not extended play. The "lock S-foils into attack positions" mechanism is very clever but slightly wobbly. It has two states (lock/unlock) vs. the previous UCS X-Wing's geared mechanism. When the wings are closed, there's an even gap between, which looks good to me (how I imagine a "real" X-Wing would have). The X-Wing can stand on the thrusters, but I wouldn't leave it that way as each wing is essentially attached via one Technic bar. This is a model I'm excited to keep!
I would recommend this to a friend!

More nitpicks than complaints
on May 14, 2023
Posted by: GnarlyCookie084
This is a beautifully detailed display piece that is slightly diminished by some questionable design decisions. As others have noted, the 'S-Foil' mechanism is not strong enough to keep the wings securely closed, and can come untracked too easily. I didn't have any problems with the nose sections, but the side panels around the wings pop off too easily, and they're hard to reattach properly with the wings installed. I also had problems with the bottom stops on the display stand popping off due to the weight of the ship. For now I've improvised an elastic solution so I don't have to break out the Kraggle. :) Once assembled and displayed, it's a sight to behold!
