It's all right
on May 29, 2023
Posted by: Tater Tom
[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.

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!

Horrible Design
on June 3, 2023
Posted by: SenseiWittyBoots
This is the first set I've ever just flat out quit building. As many have mentioned, the side plates are held on just by a few studs and fall off with even the slightest nudge. Putting the nose on is an exercise in futility, and after a chunk of the front part of the set fell apart while trying to put it on, I just gave up on it and will move on to another set. I just hope this isn't indicative of where Lego designs are going.

Nice but very touchy
on June 29, 2023
Posted by: JDSthebuilder
I consider myself an advanced builder having done the globe, the Lamborghini, the grand piano among other Lego models. I found this one to be the most frustrating. I’m only halfway through, and I’ve had to resort to glue to hold some of the pieces together. As noted in other reviews, the side pieces tend to fall off due to weak or minimal connecting points. At one point I tore the model apart and started all over again just to make sure that I had put it together correctly. Unfortunately I had, and the weak connecting points simply require glue in order to stay on. I would not recommend this product to anyone other than an advanced builder, who is willing to resort to glue in order to complete it.

Awful Stability
on July 17, 2023
Posted by: Fuzzy
I have been building and rebuilding for a week! I recently had surgery and figured this would be an awesome way to pass the time. Instructions are really good for someone that knows how to build these. But not a lot of specifics as to where bricks go. The forward fuselage is awful falls apart if you look at it wrong. I have attempted to hold the model to mount the wings…. The side panels fall off front and back, the engine front falls off etc. Do NOT hold the model for too long or it will fall apart. I have several of the cars and those are pretty solid this thing is an engineering joke! And I work in engineering for a defense company. There is not enough support on most of the connections. Please don’t purchase this product it is not worth the money or frustration and time!

STAY ON TARGET!

Don't get me wrong, this set looks phenomenal on display. The accuracy and attention to detail is what I've come to expect from the Star Wars UCS series. Unfortunately, the building techniques were a little sub-par. You probably won't encounter any issues until you start attaching the wings. The side panels that make up the body of the X-Wing are VERY loosely attached and will come apart if too much pressure is applied. If that happens while your wings are on.... sorry my dude, you're in for a headache.

Love it!

Having missed the previous UCS versions of the X-Wing I was excited when I heard about this set. It's was a fun build and is a wonderful display piece. I have had none of the problems other report about pieces falling off as I realize this is not a play set.
I would recommend this to a friend!
