Disappointing and Too Fragile
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: IntellectualKoala082
Verified Purchase:No
I hate writing bad reviews, but the design on this X-Wing is pretty rough. The sides of the main body are held to the main central piece by two small pieces that pop off whenever you try and install sections around it. It added a great deal of time and frustration to building. The wings are pretty flimsy in areas, but that isn't the overall concern. It is kind of a bad design and I wish that there were more stability because I can't display it without pieces falling off as I set it up. For the price I had hoped it would be more stable like the A-Wing or Daily Bugle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Flimsy fragile scratches
on July 8, 2023
Posted by: SuperQuickMouse
Major bummer. My title says it all, such a let down and disappointing. All the other reviews are correct, flimsy side panels, scratches on description plate and cockpit cover. Words can’t describe what a let down this was.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Some nice angles but overall flawed
on June 4, 2023
Posted by: 11–Spitfire-11
Some points of critique:
- angled and tapered nose is aesthetically nice from SOME angles, but not from the side, the side look, which is the main view angle if placed on the stand as intended, makes the whole nose and nose cone look way too bulky. Sloppy even. The nose would have benefited from more work and techniques to make it more streamlined and true to the original including making the cockpit sit at the correct slanted angle.
- the model is too weak and flimsy. Mine literally just disintegrated sitting on a shelf. Especially the stand is too weak. For me the stand simply failed, which made the model in turn fall apart on the light impact. The plates on the sides, the nose, the wings just fell apart. As I tried to reattach the parts, even more of it came apart.
- the whole build is too simplistic for an UCS model. Which also contributes to the overall weakness of the model. Few connections here and there holding a lot of it together.
- the simplistic mechanism for the folding wings is not suitable for the weight of the wings. The wings droop in every possible direction. This I believe resulted in the designers trying to make the wings lighter by some very weak connections, but it didn’t do the trick and now the wings are just drooping in different directions as well as being weak. And the wings close so that there is a gap in between them. Which just makes the whole thing look like a bad and cheap knockoff.
- the R2D2… why? Just why? It looks like a prank. It’s probably because a larger bodied R2 would not fit, but this off scale one just looks silly.

Overall this model feels rushed to market. with corners cut. And it’s not fitting for an UCS model. Lego has some amazing models with some amazing design that just impresses as you build them, the most recent tumbler, the icon cars, the large technic sports cars etc. but this model is probably the most simplistic in technique I’ve ever built and just somehow lacked the sophistication I would have expected of a model with this price tag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Who let this happen?
on May 15, 2023
Posted by: KindergartenStarWars
This build is elementary. If you sneeze on it it will apart. Major pieces are held together by simple 2 piece bricks and it has no structure. Tons of spots are left wide open as if they were cutting costs. This should have been borderline Technic level for the price, instead it was like they let 10 year olds design a legendary piece. Sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Misfire
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: Vastar78
I am a huge fan of the UCS product line and have been buying them since the B-Wing. This is the first purchase that I would consider a major disappointment. There are parts of this set that I truly love, but they don’t outweigh the negatives. The biggest negative is the awful engineering job done on the movement of the S Foils. It is very loose and gets stuck frequently. There is no stop point and if you twist too far, the mechanism gets stuck. It also relies on rubber bands to hold the wings together. They are nowhere near strong enough to accomplish the task. The 2013 model had much better engineering on the S Foils using spring loaded pistons and a smooth deployment mechanism. This set seems like a cash grab since the last model was 10 years old. If they had better design, this could have been a great set and worth the money. As is, it is a failure.
Pros:
New body and nose shape look much better.
Back of model looks amazing.
Cockpit is a major upgrade.
Negatives:
Awful design for S Foil mechanism.
MAJOR wing sag.
Large gaps between body and wings.
Scale of large engines to short winds is comical.
Scale of R2-D2 is absurdly small.
Set is extremely fragile and parts constantly fall off.
New body and nose shape look much better.

Cockpit is a major upgrade.

I am very disappointed that Lego decided to release a 3rd UCS version of the X-Wing instead of doing a new model and decided to release one with this many glaring design flaws. This is the ONLY UCS model that Lego has released that I would not recommend purchasing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beware of frustration and poor build quality
on May 12, 2023
Posted by: Ross
The final product looks nice but this is by far the most frustrating set I've built to date. A lot of pieces can be difficult to fit together and the final result feels like it's held together by tape. I actually had to super glue a piece of the stand because it would pop off every time I put the ship on the stand. Once you have this built keep it away from children, pets, AC vents because even a light gust of air may cause this to fall apart. Luke minifig looks great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Printed plaque & cockpit
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: FirstHilariousDonkey
The quality of Ucs sets have come a long way over years. This set contains an exclusive Luke, R2-D2 with back printing, a printed cockpit, and the first printed plague. It only contains 4 stickers compared to the 20 of the 2013 Red Five. I do admit the box art seems off, but the actual build appears much better than the 2013 model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing
on May 18, 2023
Posted by: Chris
This was probably the worst Star Wars Lego set that I have ever built. The instructions were poor. The construction is flimsy; the sides fall off, and the stand doesn't hold up. Not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
