LEGO®X-Wing Starfighter™ 75218

Cool X-Wing, best one I have

This model is the best X-Wing that I have alongside the Poe Dameron X-Wing and the newer Luke’s X-Wing (that looks pretty bad honestly). The figures are good and it’s nice to be able to change out the ship’s designation.

An Enjoyable Experience so far

Having not completed this I cannot give a full review yet. This is my first Star Wars lego set since 1999 and I was nothing short but thrilled to start building Lego Star Wars again. However about 2/3rd in I noticed two pieces missing and I scoured through the bags to see if they were elsewhere. They are a simple 2x8 piece and 1x3 piece for the wings so I cannot finish without them. I have filed a request for these pieces and noticed it can take 2-4 weeks before I receive my replacement. I'm sure I'll give this a better review later but for now I'll have to wait until I get some response and hopefully I can complete this set sooner rather than later.

It was a pretty fun build and I like how to Minifigure scale it is. I don't know if it is perfectly to scale but to me, it seems pretty close. I really love the design and I think it really captured its look. I wish that in the set it came with a ladder for the figures to get in the X-wing. This is a very awesome set to pair with Yoda's hut and the TIE fighter. By far the best LEGO X wing out there and one of my favorite star wars lego set. It is a tad bit expensive but every star wars lego set is, but at 80 it's not too bad. Overall amazing set would give 8.5/10

Great for original trilogy fans!

If you're a fan of the original trilogy this set is for you. The Rebel X-Wing has excellent detail and the inclusion of Biggs and R2-Q2 is the perfect complement to Luke and R2-D2.

Great set

This is the only X-Wing set I have and I love it. I mainly got this set for R2-Q2. With a Biggs minifigure was really great to have because I don't have one. I like how the wing function works. My only problem is the stud shooters after you shoot them the studs are hard to put back on. Best X-Wing set ever!

Decent reproduction of an X-wing

I'm more of a Star Trek fan but I also like Star Wars so when I saw this kit of the classic X-wing starfighter I thought time to get one. In terms of build there is nothing especially complicated. The bags are numbered (good) but I found the instructions are not great - they are a bit dark and at each build stage the new parts are (unusually) not highlighted so at first glance it can be difficult to see where some go. The wing opening and closing mechanism is simple and effective although I agree that the slot the lever operates in on top of the fuselage is (slightly) disfiguring as are the gaps where the hinges are but to be honest they're really not noticeable to a casual observer. It works well however and my elastic bands have survived the past few weeks (but it's for display not play in my case). Also mine has very very little "wing droop" in landing configuration but were it a real vehicle (sorry folks, real X-wings do not exist!) then it is likely this would be accurate - it is in many (real) aircraft. Overall this X-wing looks good, the canopy in particular gives a nice view of the pilot. My only (small) criticism of this kit is that the parts-per-pound count is not as good as some other recent kits. I think a nice touch would be to have included a stand so it may be displayed in the wings-open flying configuration but overall I consider it a good buy. Only drawback is that now I have to get a TIE fighter to balance things up :-)
