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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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..

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!

Most fragile Lego set I've ever built
on August 16, 2023
Posted by: Bright Rhino
In attempting to move this set and place on a display stand (which I did because I don't like what this comes with, and I needed something more vertical for space) pretty much every outer piece on the main shaft has broken and fallen off. I have a lot of UCS Star Wars Lego and not had an issue REMOTELY this bad and frustrating. The amount of large pieces with extraordinarily weak connection points in hard-to-repair areas is astounding, and I'm honestly shocked it made it through review and testing. Easily the most fragile Lego set I've ever experienced. I'd also echo common complaints about my windshield having small scratches due to no outer packaging and the disappointing stud in the middle of the plaque, which is not on the box art. First UCS set I absolutely regret buying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Missing Bags
on August 26, 2023
Posted by: HeavyTwig057
I received this as a birthday present and was very excited to build it. It didn’t take long before I noticed that this set was missing the entire #3 bag. For the price that my wife paid this is completely unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Set but meh build
on September 7, 2023
Posted by: Pinholster
This is an absolutely wonderful display set with a great exclusive minifig with pilot Luke. However the build is stressful. Esp for us adults with bigger hands at times bricks fall off all the time due to poor connection points and its hard to get everything in sync. It looks great on display but the build itself is less than optimal.
