Customer Reviews for LEGO - Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter 75355 - Multi

To understand this review, I think it's important to understand the context. The Lego UCS X-Wing is not only an iconic Star Wars image, it's also the OG UCS Set (7191). It's basically the flagship model. It's a big deal and it comes with high expectations.
As a lifelong Lego fan, I've always wanted a UCS X-Wing, but I missed the first couple. I was absolutely thrilled when this one came out, and I had high hpes that I think are reasonable given the legacy of the UCS X-Wing. I was stoked to pre-order it, and more excited about it than any of the other UCS sets I've ordered.
This set - I hate to say - is a flop. It's not terrible in an abstract, fully removed sense, but given what a UCS X-Wing should be, it's a miss. It compares poorly against other UCS sets. The flaws are so numerous, and so obvious, that in my opinion it should have never shipped.
1) The stand breaks. If you ask, Lego will ship you some additional pieces to fix it. Still, ridiculous.
2) You can't fit a minifig in the cockpit.
3) The wings / aspect ratio are just... off. You can lengthen the wings by one stud and it helps, but you shouldn't have to.
4) It's incredibly fragile. Arguably others are fragile too, like the Snowspeeder, but the Snowspeeder is awesome in other ways and still more durable than this. The X-Wing's got a bunch of pieces that just fall off if you touch them. Zero play value, even given low expectations for playing with a UCS set.
5) The wings sag if not in X position, so you can't really pose it. I always liked the vibe of the non-attack-position X wing, but nope.
6) The wing gears loosen over time due to a bad design, and feel sloppy when adjusted. They depend on a plate on the top maintaining tension, and it has a tendency to push up and detach. Not very obvious when it happens, making the set feel imprecise.
7) The greebling on the exterior, and the general detail, is lower than sets like the Snowspeeder, Tie Interceptor, and Y Wing.
8) A lot of visually important pieces are attached by one stud, so they get misaligned.
I'll note that a lot of these issues have community fixes. But that says something; they're all pretty much all fixable, but simply weren't. I have no idea what happened behind the scenes, but the result feels rushed, sloppy, unfinished. Just a bummer.
It deserves the overall low rating, unfortunately, and I wish the designer had done better. This is the only UCS set I have that I can't recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lego needs to pull this set off of shelves immediately. I just tore this apart after building it 6 months ago and having the wing mechanism break and the sides fall off constantly. Thought maybe I did something wrong so I rebuilt it and same garbage. This should not be sold. Shame on you Lego.

This is so big & just too cool not to have. I love the final build but it does have it's challenges. It's a display piece, not a toy. You have too be careful handling it to keep pieces from popping off. They really should have added some additional support to attach side panels of the fuselage. They're easily knocked off. The engine fan blades will fall off if you just touch them. The build was fun & I enjoyed it.

The rear side panels are not adequately attached. If you pick it up by the rear section, which is the most logical point because of the weight distribution, you will end up with the panels in your hand. This is due to the attachment points being inadequately supported. The cockpit does not close completely, it springs back open about an eighth of an inch after you close it. The previous X wing kit did not have any of these problems and it was less expensive. there are also red stripe components on the wings that are not adequately supported. I expect way better than this from lego. All and all it is decent if you want to build it and display it out of reach of everyone, but over priced for the quality of the build. Note the photo out of reach of everyone.

The panels fall off, the cockpit hatch slightly doesn't go down all the way, the wings slowly fall down to the base position, and there was SO MANY MISSING PEICES. I mean i looked everywhere and I had just opened the bag so they couldn’t have fallen off my desk while i was gone or something, I thought i was going crazy. Not a cheap set too.

If you want to be tested to your limit get it it falls apart very easy so be careful and build the wings diagonal so they counter balance

I hated this build so much and gave up halfway through.
By far the worst part of it is the horribly designed side panels. The panels themselves fall apart and are almost impossible to attach to the body once assembled. Two flimsy anchor points will detach constantly if you even breathe on it. Never buy this until they fix the build out of the box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
