With a small dedicated team of LEGO fans serving your needs, we're sure you wont find a better or more friendly service anywhere else online. This is the first LEGO X-wing in which the designers have successfully replicated the hexagonal shape of the bodywork, from the cockpit section down to the nose.

Needless to say, it took awhile and my fingers are pretty well grayed from the ink but I'm rather proud of it. Until LEGO decides to make a 1xn plate with clips on both sides, I think we’ll be stuck with this dilemma for awhile. The UK version which was given away in a promotion has a different polybag design to that released in the US. This model features gear-operated folding wings, opening cockpit with space for one pilot, space for an astromech droid, and a stand for display. The stand is built at an angle thanks to some simple geometry, allowing you to display the X-wing in a more dynamic pose.The deflector shield generator is represented by a 3×3 Technic knob; this is also what activates “attack mode” for the wings. Inside the box are bags numbered from 1 to 10, the instruction manual, plus the cockpit glass and display plaque packaged separately. The display stand slots into a 2×2 hole in the bottom of the X-wing, and is strong enough to support the weight of the starfighter. It's a mini and should be reviewed as one, of course you aren't getting any minifig's, and the piece count is going to be low. com Heads up, today is the final day that you’ll be able to score 2x LEGO Insider Points on all purchases on LEGO.

And then there’s the issue with the display stand, where if you leave it on the stand for a few minutes you’ll find the pair 2×2 curved slopes on the floor without fail.There is this large gap in the bodywork that is quite noticeable when the wings are opened, plus some uncovered Technic detailing on the inside faces of the wings themselves. It’s significantly out of scale though which throws off the look of the model – I’d have preferred if the designers included a printed 3×3 dome instead.

The X-wing Starfighter is one of the most recognizable ships from the Star Wars universe, and is itself an icon of sci-fi and pop culture.

The only thing worth noting is that the 4 clear bricks I used as stands do not come with this set, those are from my personal collection. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between 5 € and 13 € depending on the condition. This is going to be an odd review because I’m just going to point all the things I didn’t like or could have been better but still give this a thumbs up.
