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

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was waiting for Lego to release a new X-Wing for quite some time and was pretty excited for the build. They missed the mark with this build. The panels are flimsy due to insufficient connection points. The use of rubber bands for the mechanical movement of the wings is a cheap cop-out. The bases used for the helmets are far superior than the base used for this model. The wings don’t stay up without assistance on the completed build. Every step of the build felt like this was a corner cutting cash grab. Do yourself a favor. Save your money and skip this one.

Bad reviews are wrong

Verified Purchase:No
First of all, I was missing a piece on the stand. However, knowing lego’s reputation, I expect to have it replaced since it wasn’t on the actual fighter, but on the stand. I’m a 32 year old and this is my second Lego set I’ve ever built. I’m a huge Star Wars fan and saw this after watching the original trilogy on tv over Christmas and I had to get it. The flimsiness comments are from either people that try to speed build or don’t know how to follow directions. It’s a model for 18+, so if you’re playing with a model as an 18 year old, you may need to reevaluate your situation. If your kid wants to play with it, don’t let them, there are instructions at the front of the manual on how to hold the model correctly. Again, follow instructions and panels won’t fall off as others have said. Kind of funny seeing Lego snobs complain about this, clear indication they just speed build their sets. It’s a beautiful set and the engineering on it is amazing. Kudos to Lego designers, don’t know how they do this stuff.

Despite the bad reviews I purchased and loved it
on February 28, 2024
Posted by: Roots2rooftops
There were many mixed reviews but I bought it anyway and it was just fine no missing pieces I finished with extra pieces the wings are attached for sturdy and am not afraid of moving it at all. It’s a Lego though so of course if you are rough with it something could come apart. It’s aged appropriately for it to be a display not a child’s play toy if I let a kid play with it, it would definitely break.
The bad reviews on this item made the experience worse for me because I was nervous the whole time that I may have made a bad purchase, that there would be missing pieces or it would be to fragile to assemble but it turned out great and I recommend to anyone who was considering but hesitant because of reviews. I’m 32 and haven’t built legos in a long time this is my first set in adulthood and it took me around 4 hours to complete. Last phot is all the extra pieces this only made me nervous that I missed something but they were definitely just duplicates.

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.

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.

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.

Best X Wing version to date!
on May 7, 2024
Posted by: KingExtravagantHandbag101
The best x-wing starfighter in my opinion. I had a great time building this set. There are few things like gaps between and when looking from the too of the wings. There are some very good techniques, mainly the system to set it in attack position. This set is not sturdy, just be mindful. The stand has some issues where the two pieces right under keep detaching so I just removed them.
Overall it is very good looking set and mostly accurate aside R2D2's size.
I was pleased to see that the canopy was bagged and not loose in the box as some reviewers mentioned.

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.

Dissapointing UCS Set
on July 5, 2023
Posted by: Massimo
I got this lego set a while ago and finally built it. I was very disappointed in the overall set. The stand is very unstable (for my set at least), which led to me having to rebuild the set because when the stand collapsed due to its poor design, the X-Wing broke, which was not what I was expecting to get buying this set (for clarification, the stand broke which made the set fall off of my desk which caused more of the set to break. Besides the stand breaking, there are other problems with peices falling off due to them being very poorly attached (they only get held on by one or two studs which make the peices fall off easily). Aesthetically, the set looks very good. But other than that, I really wouldn't recommend the set because of its poor design.
