The finished build is beyond my expectation and a great display set! With moving wings and open cockpit, it has multiple options to display. Highly recommend.

So cool, but very challenging build!

The design could use some serious finesse. The side panels connect to the fuselage at two connection points, and the two long horizontal pieces of the panel are connected at two hinged connection points. Attaching the panels to the body is a real balancing act of applying just enough pressure at the correct angle to connect the side panels to the body, but not applying so much pressure that the two connection points of the two pieces of the panel are displaced, while also not putting pressure on the panel on the opposite side of the fuselage or any of the panels on the rear of the body (which are also connected by only one or two hinged connection points). Finally succeeded in this endeavor by applying downward pressure at the cockpit and attaching the side pieces of the nose after attaching each side panel to the body. The process was a bit frustrating, but overall worth it! The finished piece is really stunning!

Best X-wing yet!

The new UCS X-wing is an amazing representation of this iconic STAR WARS A NEW HOPE rebel star fighter. Amazing detail and fun to build.

Better than expected

I do not know why there are so many negative reviews. I found it a great build. I have many of the UCS models and love this one. I didn't find it flimsy, but I don't play with it. I really cannot recommend it for play, it will fall apart. Aside from that, I love it displayed. Next comes lights!

A Fantastic X-Wing, at a high cost.

This is a dream x-wing model. The most accurate LEGO has released yet, by far. I cannot stop looking at it! A bit fragile in some places, but overall rather stable. If you LOVE the X-Wing Starfighter and can afford the very high asking price, go for it!

With the remake and the original x wing the remake has more detail and was easier to put together. Only thing I find upsetting with the remake is that they did not keep the same info on the data plate as the original.

Great model!

The model here is great and I real appreciate the redesign. As my second UCS, the first being Slave 1, the fragility of this set is disappointing. I cannot pick up the set from any place without pieces flying off or panels of the ship falling off. Since it will mostly be display not a huge deal but annoying nevertheless. Also please give us some landing gear! I would love to display this off the stand but it is a big of a pain to do so.

Decent build but very fragile

I bought this for the May 4th celebration of Star Wars. I usually don't buy a kit this expensive but wanted it for my display of Luke's Landspeeder and other such items. The build isn't bad and I expected some duplications due to the 4 wings. The wing mechanism does allow the wings to move but the Starfighter is very fragile once completed so I don't expect to use. It's fragility is really due to the wings and the balancing act that it takes on when it's on its base.
