Dissapointed
on May 26, 2023
Posted by: EmpressFunGorzan
I have in my collection all of the X-wing editions and I have to say I was very disappointed by this latest UCS version. I like the look which is fresh but unfortunately the reliability and stability of the panels is poor and reminiscent of the early 2000s sets. Recently all Lego pieces have been solid but not this one. I do not think it was worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So cool, and so disappointing
on May 28, 2023

I really do like this set, however i also have way too many complaints with it. My main complaint is every time i want to remove it from the stand to show someone, I am picking up pieces falling off constantly when handling. The side panels are half the length of the build and are only held on by a total of 4 pegs.
It looks awesome on display but sadly that is all it offers. I will say the price seems fair which is nice with the recent price hikes for inflation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Expect better from Lego
on May 28, 2023
Posted by: SelflessFirox026
The overall design of the X-Wing is great but the windshield piece is free floating in the box and I received mine with numerous scratches. It wouldn’t be to much to ask to ship it in a small paper bag to avoid this situation in the future.

Great to look at, but….

This thing looks great, though a little bigger than I was expecting. If your plan is to shelf it, have fun. Looks great with the wings in X formation….there’s where it ends though. The bottom wings sag so bad you can’t display it with the wings locked - looks terrible that way and the gaps are too visible like this. Also, if you touch it anywhere something falls off. Usually a side panel or an engine component from the back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is not the building experience we want for our fans. Please make sure that all pieces are pressed tightly together. Our brick experts are always happy to troubleshoot the build with you at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

Huge disappointment
on May 29, 2023
Posted by: ChairmanSternGamer
I have been a fan of LEGO since I was just out of diapers (over 35 years ago) and a fan of Star Wars probably longer. I had never bought a UCS set before due to the cost and not having the space to display. When I saw the X-Wing I just couldn't say no. I was so excited to build and display this.
But even from the very start there were issues. Shoddy build techniques (flat plates held on by nothing but having them wedged between 2 studs? Seriosuly?) and terrible stability all over the place led to a miserable and frustrating experience. I'm afraid to even walk past it as a stiff breeze would cause the flimsy stand to give out. It looks nice enough once built ... until you actually look at and see the sagging wings and wobbly blasters.
I wish I could return it because as it is I'm going to take it apart and box it up and put it in the garage. It's just not worth the space it takes up and that's incredibly sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's all right

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this set is okay. While I was building, the only part that I found dreary was the almost identical wings that took up four bags. Besides that, and some of the side paneling, which was also almost the same, the building experience was pretty fun. I hate to say it, but after the build, there are a lot of bad things to say about it. They falsely advertised the display plaque by editing the pictures on the website and the box. I don't know if they completely skipped over the detail or if they wanted it to look like it had just been scrubbed clean, but in the movies, the nose piece is a grey color. The windshield piece and the display plaque were both printed, which was nice, but were just thrown in the box. My windshield piece came out pretty scratched. The R2-D2 minifigure is just not the right size for the set and should be on the stand. I don't like how the stand is built to make it point up because if you're placing it on a shelf that is eye level or higher it looks bad. Also, every once in a while, I will take it off my desk and just admire it and play with it. But when I do, the two curved slope pieces on the stand tend to fall off. The side paneling is held up only by a few studs, so if you're buying it as a playset, they tend to fall off. If you can look past all that it's a really cool set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Must see in person

I’m much more satisfied with this set than I expected to be. Most of the complaints seem to be based around the nature of the build and structural integrity. I didn’t personally come across these frustrations. However, I think part of that for me was expectations. Most of the UCS sets are relatively fragile. This is no exception.
To avoid some of the problems others have faced, focus on picking it up from the top and bottom at the rear and resting the front on your other hand.
My primary concern prior to purchase was the look of the thing. But I’m very happy with how it looks in person. I can’t explain the science behind it but I think the shapes and angles of this set play tricks on the brain when photographed and frankly even on film. It’s definitely not the most photogenic UCS set.
While building, I also found myself understanding and appreciating how difficult it is to accomplish the angles that are present on this set.
In any event, I really think most fans will dig the look of this set when it’s in front of them. If you’re on the fence and have access to a Lego store, I definitely recommend checking it out in person.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth the money

I can see that most of the reviews so far don’t make justice to this set. It’s a fun built, not repetitive and with clever building techniques and new elements. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan and this is my first UCS so I don’t have means to compare with previous versions of X-Wings. However, I can say I’m happy with the set, it kept me busy for a while. I love space ships and Lego so it checks both requirements!
As down sides I would mention the use of few stickers, a missing piece and a design flaw at the support base, which shouldn’t be expected in a set like that.
The comments from others about panels falling apart do not make sense at all, if you are familiar with Lego everything fits perfectly, so don’t take the bad reviews too seriously, many people may not have the patience or skills to put it together but this is not Lego’s fault!
