A safe choice for Lego, but it’s an excellent version of a classic for fans.
Check out the detail in the cockpit.
There are a few moments of structural weakness during the build that make the X-Wing Starfighter feel somewhat unstable until it all comes together. This is especially true with the thin end of the ship’s nose. On the flipside, the ship’s wings are very strong and fit very well on the Technic chassis.
The X-Wing Starfighter itself sits on a black display stand that holds the ship in place without having to use any bricks, meaning you can easily lift it off without having to disconnect it from the black base, then simply reattach. It definitely adds that Ultimate Collector Series premium feel to the set.The Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter is the largest Lego X-Wing yet.
It’s the X-Wing Starfighter. It’s utterly iconic. It looks fantastic and there really isn't anything negative to say about it. If we had to, however, then we'd comment on the scale of the ship. If you remember from the films, while Luke and the other pilots required ladders to enter the ship, much like the WW2 fighters that the X-Wing was based on, they weren’t absolutely massive. They’re light, nimble fighters.
With the ship you get a new and highly detailed Luke minifigure in his Rebel pilot gear, and you also get an R2-D2 droid figure. This is perhaps the expected line-up, but for a set that’s over £200 we’d have loved for Lego to use this opportunity to give us minifigures of the other pilots that haven’t been represented in Lego for a while. Where is my boy Wedge Antilles?!
