Waste of Money
on August 27, 2023
Posted by: doc11542
Horrible build. Riddled with missing pieces. Not very stable. Instructionsfor bag 8 are backwards. This is the worst build I have ever done. Whoever designed this thing really needs to be fired as fast as possible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Badly Designed
on November 14, 2023

This unfortunately was my first UCS letdown. The design is too fragile, the wings cannot close, I was so disappointed I tore it down for parts hoping to find a MOC one day that improves on the design.

Great set with a few flaws
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: C_Dee
This is a fun build, took me about a week since the wings are repetitive and I did one wing per day. I don't like to rush my builds. But, the attention to detail here is wonderful. The cockpit looks fantastic, the detail on the wings and engines are really nice, the greebling on the top and back of the main body is great, and I like the Luke Skywalker minifigure - very cool detail there.
The wing opening/closing mechanism is interesting - it's a rubber band - but it isn't very sturdy. They do "lock" into place but not very firmly, so for display, you have to mess with it a little as the wings and laser cannons also won't always sit straight when displayed. I had to use a folded piece of paper hidden beneath a wing, placed between the wing and body, to hold it straight while on display. It's very easy to tell when the wings aren't straight because of the four laser cannons and four rear engines, but it's a simple adjustment. I don't mind having to use a piece of paper because you can't see it unless you look behind the model, but it is a flaw.
The model is also fragile, small pieces can pop off easily, as can some of the body paneling. But this is not a play set. The included stand is nice, and necessary, but the angle is off because aiming the X-wing upward means that it is difficult to see the best detail of the model - the top of the wings, the top of the body, and the cockpit. So I simply turned the stand sideways so the X-wing is, instead, level and banking to one side so you can see the body and wing detail.
I also added a light kit, which is challenging with this model (other models, like the UCS Millennium Falcon, make the wires easier to hide), but it really makes it come alive.
Overall, if you love Star Wars and love the X-wing, this is a great model. It just takes some patience and understanding that it isn't perfect, the wings are repetitive builds, it may take some fussing around to display it correctly, and it is for display only. Otherwise, a very good UCS model that fits great in my collection. I just wish the Luke minifigure could fit in the cockpit!

The end product is amazing and very impressive, but the wing mechanism is so weak and finicky. Turning the knob is not satisfying at all and seams to work half the time. Not to mention you guys have me multiple wrong and missing pieces. The set didn’t even include the pieces for part of the stand and gave me multiple wrong size tile pieces for the side plating. Not happy with the building process.

This looks cool and the size is great, however BEWARE this set is SUPER flimsy. Once built don't ever touch it again. The nose panels and the body panels are barely being held on. You can not pick this model up without something falling off of it, seriously there is NO good place to pick this model up from.
This is super delicate! I built mine and immediately put it in a plexiglass display (like all my other builds). I had to move the display and basically every panel popped off.
I know you can say it's me not the set, but having built Death Star, Hulkbuster, Titanic, Slave 1, Millennium falcon (table top one) etc... NO other set is anywhere like this one. Bad design.

I decided to splurge on myself by purchasing this set for May the 4th and unfortunately it has been extremely disappointing. The terrible reviews you see are there for a reason. I received my set rather quickly. I opened up the first bag and there’s were pieces missing. Not one or two, but 43 pieces that were not in the first bag of many. Given the price of this set I find it ridiculous for there to be so many pieces missing. And frankly, even with LEGO offering to send every missing piece it’s frustrating. What guarantee do I have that every single bag is not missing a bunch of pieces. Do I have to contact LEGO every day when I find pieces missing? I’m being sent a new set but Lego definitely needs more quality control, especially for the prices we are paying. Think twice, thrice, or 100 times and think if you want to take the gamble. I took it and found disappointment.

Amazing.

Great Model. I got in to Lego after the last UCS X-Wing was retired. I so wanted one, but I didn’t want to spend the extra money purchasing it on the secondary market. I was overjoyed when this new, updated X-wing was announced. I built it as soon as I received it. No complaints.

Flimsy and missing pieces
on May 13, 2023
Posted by: LeastPreciseMinibeard
Cool set and bigger than I thought but one piece was damaged and I was also missing another piece, now I have to wait 7-10 business days to finish it. For a set this expensive there should be a little better quality control. Do better Lego!
