Flimsy and easy to fall apart
on September 13, 2023
Posted by: Lamp13
This is the worst Lego experience I've had. Once you get halfway through this build, it is easily breakable with very little stability. It's very fragile and when you get to the nose, it breaks apart very easily. When that happens, you basically have to go back to square 1. As someone who is a fair weather Stars Wars fan, this was my first and last Star Wars built.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the X-Wing Starfighter™ and we'd be happy to help. Please call or chat with us at LEGO.build/Service-BV for a fix that should make your set much more stable to work with.

X-Wing Forever
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: Seraphimon
This was my first serious LEGO set. As a child I had different ones but this was my first adult one. I completely enjoyed building it and I love the care for the details. Definitely worth the money.
On the negative side, I have two comments:
1) the set is not really to be played with as the model really wiggles a lot. Not only the wings feel unstable, but the nose could benefit from a stronger connection to the rest of the body. As a collector item, I suppose it is not to be played with, but I felt to comment upon it, as generally one plays with LEGO
2) the real bummer is that Luke does not fit in the cockpit. Again, as a collector item I understand why the designers wanted Luke standing on the base with the lightsaber, but I would have preferred to have been given the choice to have Luke piloting the X-wing. Instead, Luke can neither be anchored to the seat, nor can one close the cockpit with Luke inside!

Apart from these two collector item vs toy issues, the set is totally enjoyable and worth the money. The model is really impressive on display!

Poor Design
on October 20, 2023
Posted by: CardboardBox19
The wing design is substandard compared to other UC models. They're long thin bricks freely rotating with rubbers bands and a turntable piece (4517986) to keep them in place which do a poor job keeping the wings open and gives the model a "droopy" and lopsided look when closed. I wish they had used a sturdier construction for the wings with gear pieces to move them.

Mediocre Design
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: GeneralDelightfulUrchin
The X-Wing looks decent, but the wings don't hold well. When closed they are not tight. The mechanism to open them doesn't have a hard stop when they are open and closed, instead it can be perpetually rotated so you might think it turn a bit more to tighten the closed wings then you find it's back to start and they are opening again. Also every time I move it, the support pieces on the stand come off as well as some part of the X-Wing. You pretty much have to build it, place it then leave it alone. Was hoping for a more stable design for this price point.

Flimsy and poor design
on November 15, 2023
Posted by: DesignerCrankyWilhurt
I should have read the other reviews before purchasing. The mechanism for connecting the sides to the body is incredibly poorly designed and pieces fall off with any amount of pressure. I can’t complete the build without breaking things. Awful set.

Looks great, if you stand back and squint.
on November 18, 2023
Posted by: TidyWasp079
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ship looks great from a distance and online, but if you get close you see the poor panel gaps, mis colored nose, VERY saggy wings (6 months old at this point), and the flimsy stand that falls apart if a breeze catches the ship. I expected better from a 240 dollar set.

big build-up, bigger let-down
on November 28, 2023
Posted by: ElderPrehistoricSponge
pretty big let-down. the set looks super cool in pictures, but IRL is really flimsy and feels delicate. the build process was pretty disappointing as well. it was difficult to keep together in several sections. the wings are probably the biggest disappointment - they're VERY flimsy and unstable. honestly, i wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Nice looking fighter. Drawbacks are that panels around wings fall off easily if trying to handle product. Parts on stand where fighter sits constantly fall off as well as other parts. Many parts are held on with minimal lego support that many pieces fall off if this is barley touched. Quiet frustrating. All other usc series of star wars r2d2 , landspeeder, and millennium falcon all well built and sturdy. Very disappointed after the money this cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
