Stunning but Flawed
on June 5, 2023
Posted by: SultanElatedToilet100
I've found the 2023 UCS X-Wing to be a remarkable display set with a fun and engaging build process that showcases a ton of detail. The design is sleek and relatively easy to assemble but suffers a bit from repetition after the fuselage is complete. I do, however, have to criticize the disappointing choices for the wing assembly and the base supports. Like many others - I've experienced the issue of the wings drooping and there is noticeable asymmetry/misalignment in the wing positions due to the flexible support structure which detracts from the overall aesthetic. The use of the rubber bands for tensioning and the base support design are also perplexing choices for long-term display on what would otherwise be a near-perfect set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing at Best
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: Road Dwarf
I've tried twice to complete this kit and ended up putting it back in the box each time. Poor design, parts fall off and it's one of those one step forward and two or three back. Never should have gone to production. If I could return it, I would.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Construction
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: AstonishedYam037
Notwithstanding any criticism of this product from other reviewers having to do with proportionality or aesthetics, this product hands-down represents the poorest construction of a Lego model I’ve ever seen.
I’ve built my fair share of Lego sets, big and small - I’ve earned 118,892 to-date. This is the first time I felt compelled to write a review, and I haven’t even started on step five (of ten).
This build is so finicky, so fragile, I feel like I’ve spent more time rebuilding it as it crumbles in my hands than I’ve spent making actual progress.
Accepting the design for what it is, my second criticism of this set is, when it comes to the most finicky or fragile sub-steps, the instructions as printed do not necessarily represent the most effective way to assemble certain elements without inadvertently popping of others. In the course of building this set, through trial and error, I’ve had to deviate from the instructions several times in order to avoid breakage. I like deviating from the instructions when it suits me, but for fun and not out of frustration.
Bottom line: I’ve spent less on better sets. This is a subpar entry in the Ultimate Collector’s Series, and all the more disappointing considering how excited I was to finally get my hands on the fabled X-Wing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Looks good...but Very Flimsy
on July 6, 2023
Posted by: FlashyAntelope020
I have built quite a few Lego kits over the years, but this one should have spent a little more time in R&D. The wings are way too heavy for the opening and closing mechanism, which ruins the look of the ship because the wings will never stay fully open or fully closed. The panels are held on by very few stud connections, which causes them to just fall off. Even just sitting on my night stand the panes will just let go and fall off. When you try to put the panels that fall off back on, it only causes more of the side panels to pop off. As an example, the bottom side panel just in front of the engine fell off while sitting there, I went to put it back on and this caused the front panel on the opposite side to come off, which lead to about 30 minutes of frustration. The stand is probably one of the weakest stands I have seen. The pieces at the top that are mean to support the ship pop off as soon as the ship is put on the stand. Even the T-65 Starfighter sign will not stay attached to the base. Landing gear would have probably been a better option as with my Millennium Falcon UCS kit. The fins inside the engine intake do not want to stay in place and sometimes just pop out while sitting there. When it is all together is looks good, but keeping it together is the challenge. The Lego master builders should have spent a little more time with this one. I think that the price point for this set was too high for the quality of the build and the frustration of keeping it together.

Are we nitpicking too much?
on July 12, 2023
Posted by: CoolBison050
I enjoyed this build, and feel like too many people are looking really hard for things about which they can complain.
I build so I can have models, not to swish around my house. The wings are a little repetitive which is the only reason I took a piece off the overall build experience. I loved the order in which everything gets built, and seeing it all come together was a great time for me.
I hope people have far less buyer's remorse than they claim to have while voicing their opinion anonymously on the Internet.

Fun build, weak design
on July 16, 2023
Posted by: SergeantRebelliousButton
This is certainly their largest X-wing, and it was a fun build however of all the UCS Star Wars sets this is one of the flimsiest. I expected a much more sturdy design so that the X-wing was "swooshable." Now I am afraid to look at it wrong and watch it crumble. This might be the first lego set I am disappointed with.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Design
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: HilariousJay062
When I finally built the whole set the pieces immediately fell apart due to minimum support on the sides of the ship. Overall the set doesn't hold up well when displayed..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Enjoyed build overall

Fun build overall, connecting the side panels on the nose can be kind of tricky, but love the finished product!
I would recommend this to a friend!
