Incredibly disappointed
on August 16, 2023
Posted by: BravestGlowingDrillex
The design leaves the model extremely fragile and flimsy. The fuselage side covers constantly fall off do to and any vibration and then gravity takes over. Worst set I've ever built. Extremely poor value for the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Luke, use the super glue...
on May 14, 2023

I know the nice Lego lady that responds to these is not going to like this, but having been building the lower end Lego's for my kids for years, and the expensive Technic and Star Wars ones for me, this is far from the first UCS kit I've done. Overall, it's a great kit. Great design, fun and quick to build, not too repetitive, and the final product is really very nice to behold. And quite solid.
But there's a caveat. When building, I noticed that the engineering for the side panels was severely lacking. I could see from experience that this was going to be a "fall apart and put it together again" nightmare. So I bypassed the frustration and used some Locktite superglue, just on the connect pieces on the unit itself, and on the side panels. Once securely fashioned, the side panels easily snapped on, and held on, without any issue, making the build quite the fun one. I can see that people complained about this, and I understand why the Lego engineers did what they did. In order to accomplish the nice lines of the model, I can see that they had little choice in using the attachment method that they did. It doesn't work, but a little dab here and there, and it's great. Really, a beautiful kit. I know it's anathema to see the word "glue" on a Lego anything, but in this case, I found it necessary. To add insult to injury, I also did the same with the large UCS AT AT, whose bottom members sometimes did not agree to hold on tight.
It's a good kit, and when finished, it really looks nice. A nice complement to my Star Wars collection, which, to my wife's dismay, goes back to the very early and very large versions of the Super Star Destroyer and Imperial Star Destroyer, and most every large set from there forwards. Hopefully, I'll get to keep all my Lego's in the divorce.
Buy it. This one is worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For careful consideration
on May 15, 2023

First, I'd like to say this is a great display model of the Red 5 X Wing. A lot of nice details like the hexagonal shaping of the hull and printed windscreen. Some design choices have yielded unfortunate structural compromises that limit the durability of the overall model. That said, anytime so many Lego pieces are used to create something, multiple points of failure are introduced as a result. Your inner kid might want to swoosh it around, but you’ll probably only do so for a moment or two. Given the size of the ship, it’s quite awkward to handle. In hand, it does feel a bit fragile, but not extremely so (as some would have you think). It would be nice if Lego introduced an X-Wing (among many other ships) aimed at adult collectors that relied on less pieces while achieving a high degree of accuracy and detail. There’s simply too much of a gap between play-scale and UCS sets, in terms of both size and price. As a fan of both Lego and Star Wars, I’m glad I bought the ship.
I would recommend this to a friend!

very weak

putting the wings on the mechanism for holding the wings just fell apart on it’s own and can’t be fixed without taking most of the ship apart. do not recommend

Waste of Money

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.

Very poorly designed
on September 5, 2023
Posted by: Matt W
I've been building Lego sets pretty regularly since 1998's 5919 Treasure Tomb set. And I have to say, this is probably one of the most poorly designed sets out there.
It is impossible to get the set to stay together. Every time I touch it, it seems a different panel falls off. And the panels are difficult and a pain to put back on.
After the twentieth instance of the same panels falling off after merely gently picking the ship up, I became so frustrated with this set, that I just ended up scrapping it.
I was really looking forward to this set, and do not recall every being this let down with the quality. Especially for the price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Badly Designed
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: DocSal
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome concept
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: Master_merlin84
I love star wars and my wife graciously allowed me to buy this set around may 4th. I have built other sets in the past so I know that some of these can be pretty difficult to build and get together. This one is sadly testing my patience, I cant get the side pieces to stay on no matter what I do. I have read others who say to build the nosecone section then to try and hold it all together that way. Sadly it just does not want to work. I don’t like to super glue my sets but I am at a point I may just so I can have it as a display piece. Lego needs to take a look at this build and adjust these issues before I would recommend the set to anyone else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
