Happy to report that LEGO has an official fix now for the stand issue: ruclips.net/user/shorts_iogwUBRaWg
You seem to have the only copy I have seen on RUclips where the wings can actually touch and completely close. I noticed that some images in the background info section of the instruction manual show the wings completely closed, but I'm pretty sure if you follow the instructions the wings end up with a large gap in-between. Did you get a pre-release version that is slightly different?
The current engines are actually more or less correctly scaled with the actual ship (maybe just slightly too large, but that’s just a limitation of the medium) it just looks weird because the engines on most previous LEGO X-Wings were way too small. This one’s engines are the closest to correct we’ve ever gotten in LEGO. Also you had a good point about the wings, they might be a bit too short which makes it look a little weird. Plus R2 is tiny which also makes the engines look bigger than they actually are.
Artoo is actually pretty accurately scaled.
@@lukerope1906 for r2 to be scaled it would need to have a 3x3 head (more or less)
I really think this set should have had some landing gear, it would have been pretty straightforward to implement on a ship this size
I agree
maybe it isn't supposed to be in a landed.
@@mreggs3731 do u watch Star Wars??? 💀
Yes it would be really appreciated by everyone , these details matter most than anything.
Bro needs to go back to English class lol
As someone who was a broke child in 2013 I'm happy they've rereleased this. I've wanted to get my hands on this set for a while but the resale price was dumb.
after watching this i am blown away with how good it looks, i’m a huge fan of these “cheaper” ucs sets i missed out on that a-wing and i wont miss out on this one
I just ordered this. So wish I had gotten that A-wing
I missed out on the a wing but had to buy it from eBay
You can still get the A wing at a decent price
I stand by 75218 the 2018 play scale x wing being the best and most accurate looking x wing in my eyes. its also got the benefit of being playscale so r2 and luke dont look to small when inside it.
I absolutely love this design. I know it's controversial but I think it's by far the best LEGO X Wing we've gotten to date.
I'm not really a fan of this set. I've seen plenty of better looking, more design accurate, minifig scale MOCs out there.
I think it's "S-Foils" not "X-Foils" - at least based on the film dialogue. S stands for "Strike" apparently. Anyhoo, this is a nice model, I'll probably pick it up once it's on at least 20% off, and after the UCS Venator.
A sticker sheet in a UCS set is pretty brutal.
Since 2010 💪
Honestly, it’s a shame that printed pieces aren’t standard for every Lego set. Lego is selling premium priced products, especially when it comes to their SW line. The fact that they use stickers doesn’t reflect that.
@@zennar1537 Well Printed pieces cost money and LEGO can not keep up with printed pieces in every set they have other sets to do and lego does 100+ plus sets a year and they ain't cheap and yes it is a premium product but you buy it for the building experience wnd it's not about the printing/sticker pieces all the time and I get what your saying I also hate stickers and something I don't even put stickers in the set but you admire the lego designer's hard work in the set not the stickers
@@Silver_007_DM Almost ran out of breath reading that. God damn.
To expand on your points:
It is a bit weird to assume everyone is buying a UCS kit for the build experience. Not everyone is doing that, some people just want a nice display model, and some people are younger and want to "swoosh" it around their room (of course depending on the kit). I'm sure some people out there purchase UCS kits for the build experience, but to that I have to ask--would it not be a better build experience to work with printed pieces over stickers?
Lego does a lot of sets a year, but they're also an 11.8 billion dollar company selling a premium product. They're cheaping out and I don't like that. Sell me something expensive that's worth it, don't half-ass it.
And finally, you can admire a designers work while being annoyed with sticker usage. I do quite like how the X-Wing looks, but I don't like that it requires sticker usage on critical areas. Do not forget there is nuance to this sorta thing. UCS, I'd argue, is primarily aimed at adults. Adults who are absolutely going to be more critical of smaller details.
TL;DR - not everyone buys UCS kits for the build experience, if they are printed pieces would make for a superior build experience. You can admire a designers work and dislike the inclusion of stickers in a premium product designed by a multibillion dollar corporation.
I’m fine with some stickers in other sets, but for a UCS? Nah, every piece should be printed
I was sceptical at first, but seeing it displayed on video shows the angles much better than pictures. Definitely want it now.
I was truly on the fence on this one however after watching this in depth review, despite a few minor shortfalls with the set, feel it's worth it. Thank you for being objective and professional on your reviews!
The lack of landing gear at this size is simply ridiculous.
Well that's what the stands for... when it's flying it don't have gear down so they made the right choice
2:07 I don't get why Lego has made so many custom pieces that still require stickers. For my 2013 X Wing, I personally opted to not put the stickers on the windshield. I also did this when I got my UCS A Wing.
Does he keep saying x foils? Isn’t it S foils?
Yeah, he's definitely saying X-foils... And yes, it's S-foils AKA strike/stability foils.
X-foils...
I don't have either of the previous two UCS X-wings, so I'll definitely be picking this one up. Now, if only they'd release a new UCS B-wing...
Bro, did you say opening the X-foils?!?!
Is it only me who think that old version looks better?
I think that is WAY better than the previous UCS, that old one looks really blocky and dated. Shame it´s missing the landing gear, but still that is by far the best looking X-Wing what Lego has done. And looking the bottom of the set you can easily add landing gear if you like so.
Gaps everywhere and an exploding stand
Conclusion: Let's just wait for the next UCS X-Wing which will be better
you might be waiting 10+ years.
2033
@@MrMatejulc I am in no hurry. I have a lot of other cooler things I want to buy
@@superlee091 the razor crest is pretty neat right
This one is amazing wdym
Having spent over 2 months recreating a 3D model of an X-wing from photos of filming models, I really appreciate the detail that went into this set. People who say the proportions are off should go see the movie 😜
The proportions are definitely off. The wings are simply too short compared to their engines. I don't hate the set as others do, but it is slightly wrong!
obviously you don't understand about x-wing...
Compare an image of the ship from the movie and the model, side by side. The model is obviously way too short and the engines just a tad too large.
It feels to me like it's a UCS set made by looking at playset and not at real pictures of the X-wing. Every error that playset versions of x-wing made are here too. I just can't get over the flat nose.
The engines are the correct size. They were to small on the old one
Wish Lego would make an X-Wing in mostly shades of gray again like their very first one was. The X-Wing was never white and pristine looking in any of the films.
Printed display plaque or not...the stickers here are inexcusable! The set looks fiddly. R2 is out of proportion...brick built would have been awesome. Lego not getting $240 US outta me for this! I hope I can find it on FB in a year for much less. What another wasted opportunity.
i know this set has been getting BAD reviews by youtubers even BEFORE they even got it in their hands.
but i think this is one of those sets where your initial impressions just doesn’t match the final outcome (building and displaying).
I can't be the only one that absolutely hates the scale of this thing. Engines too big, s-foils too short and jut out from the engines with a big gap, they also open way too much, the nose isn't as angled as it should be looking down, the canopy is also... wow, too small and not angled at all, flashback suppressors are silly, but ugly. I mean, look at the s-foil mechanism. It barely uses any technic, which explains why it looks so... flimsy.
You would think after over 20 years of making X-Wing sets they could develop some new pieces and get some of the basic details correct. They've been using the same canopy for 23 years and haven't updated it a single time, but they made a specialized windscreen for the Landspeeder?
Terrible model!! Falls apart when you look at it. Extremely frustrating. The 2013 edition is much more fun to build.
Having both the first and second version I have to say I am stoked for the third! The comparison you make between v2 and v3 here pretty much sums up what I thought about v1 vs v2 :) I agree with your thoughts when comparing v2 and v3. Great review! I'll have the opportunity to compare the 3 of them soon! :) As for the wing length, I think that is easy to mod if you wanna try (I might). The studs on the side I think is a nice touch - sort of a retro nod from a set heavily depending on SNOT.
Exactly what I was thinking Awesome Retro mod/ Nod instead of plain Vanilla
20 straight minutes of "It's good, because the previous one wasnt"
Come on, man. It could have been great. It could have been so, so much better.
Honestly, I feel like 2bricks's x wing model is immensely superior to this one, albeit probably not as stable as an official set (though even that's debatable, 2bricks is an incredible builder)
This 4th May isnt worth purchasing star wars material... prizes are so sucky......
Definitely not picking the x-wing up. Wished lego sticks more to new unseen UCS sets instead of rereleasing the 10th iteration of whatnot. Hoped they will release a UCS Naboo N1 Starfighter or a UCS Ep1. Droid Transporter
This was a very forgiving review for a far from perfect $240 UCS X-Wing
After watching this I’m even more skeptical of SBS‘s opinion on the prices of lego sets. It’s a great review, and I appreciate that we get reviews of sets before the become available to help us better inform our purchases, but with Lego “gifting” the sets to the ambassadors they’ve lost some of their touch with those of us who must budget our lego spending (due to money, space, or other). Still a good review and a good looking set.
Well... price to part ratio has actually gotten better after 10 years. We can argue the price of the 2013 set being crazy but can't complain too much about the 240 price tag when talking about 2023 prices. You have some crazy expensizlve sets these days
uhhh but closed lower wings seems pretty saggy and are bouncing up and down.
Aaaahhhh the plaque has that ugly dot on it! Wish it was a sticker. That blows, thought they’d fix that after the Ferrari but guess not. How sad :,)
Great review. One point of reference that bugged me in the video - S-Foils. Not X-Foils
The A-wing and the X-wing look so good together. Idk if they will ever remake a UCS A-wing, but now I really want it seeing it next to the X-wing…
Set 75275 was released in 2020 and is a UCS A-Wing. Generally under-rated imo because A-Wings just aren't as popular as other ships, but it is an amazing model and looks incredible on display
The UCS A-Wing is pricey on the secondary market. 300-350 currently.
I want one, but looking for a deal, which I may never find. Lol.
Not sure how many others out there feel this way, but I would much prefer minifigure scale starfighters for UCS sets. I get it that you get more "wow" factor and more details with a larger model, but they take up too much display space and it bothers me that they don't match the scale of the larger minfigure scale UCS sets like the Falcon or AT-AT. Obviously you can't have larger capital ships in the same scale, but I think it would be good to have as much of a unified scale as possible among the UCS sets. I'm 47 and only started buying Lego collector sets recently, so I don't have very many sets. I have the UCS AT-AT and I'm considering the UCS Falcon and the Razorcrest. I've been thinking about getting some starfighters to go with them and at this point I'm most likely going to end up getting some MOC minifigure scale fighters. They will cost me similar money or maybe more than the UCS fighters, but they scale better (and in some cases look better) than the UCS sets which is more important to me. I would rather buy official UCS sets with plaques and exclusive minifigures, but they are just way too large imo. I really hope Lego considers smaller UCS starfighter sets going forward, but if they just released this new X-Wing I imagine they plan to continue to do the other starfighters in the same scale.
I strongly agree.
A new version of the USC Tie Fighter can't be too far away. Can't wait for that.
@@J.C.180 Yeah, but it will most likely be the usual starfighter UCS scale which I'm not interested in. I want UCS minifigure scale starfighters.
I do think the one thing that people forget is that you're not building a traditional model set. its LEGO, if you don't like the wing length or the lack of landing gear then modify them on your own! I will personally be redesigning the wings on my X-wing to be a few studs longer, and I might add landing gear but i'm not sure yet. Don't let the build get in the way of you making it the way YOU wanna make it, you can always change it back anyway.
What I'm looking forward to see is if anyone sticks the larger R2D2 head on this set from the 30611 polybag - the biggest issue I have with the set with the S-foils out is how invisible and out of scale R2 is, and I can't help but wonder if too big would be better than too small - on par with the engines - what I think this set really needed was a new 3x3 R2 head and some slopes/arches for the tops of his legs, rather than a minifigure (which could just be included on the stand)
There's an image on Reddit where someone did that. It's way too big. Artoo is actually scaled about right for this ship. Yes his head and body is just a tad small, but when you take in consideration the legs as well, he's about right. The problem is he's too low. He should sit higher. I think two plates higher.
Both the cockpits for this X Wing and Y Wing are inaccurate. I’d prefer completely unique cockpit pieces. Every ship in Star Wars requires a unique cockpit piece. Like how they made a unique one for Luke’s Landspeeder. R2 so out of scale is also odd.
Best x-wing Lego has ever designed, bar none. Not even close.
I wonder if this printed cockpit piece will be available in pick a brick service. I would like to buy one for my 2013 X- Wing.
I thought seeing it in hand would change my mind but nope, doesn't seem to be on the same level as other recent UCS sets
In my opinion there are too many ucs sets so it causes that some of them looks like they were build/developed in hurry.
The same is with this model, wrong scale, R2-D2 doesn't match the scale, engines are too big, wings too short and also this mistake with length of the xwing.
I was really on the fence with this set, not really sure if I wanted to jump at the chance to order one right when they come out, but honestly your review really sealed the deal for me! Super excited for this and the MIDI Executor to release!
The 2013 Set just looks so much more proportioned. Like they could have only made it a little smoother and tiles on the side would be an improvement. But fattening it up is such overkill. Great Review :)
Except for the jets on the 2013 one. They look way too small.
that just isn't true have you googled an X-wing. The 2023 is accurate
@@mrcharles3061 I know what you mean. But there just so big. I at least find it pretty irritating.
@@valentinstark402 then you find the xwing design irritating
I totaly agree with you , 2013 looks better on the shelf, expecialy compared to the movie x wing!!!
Just finished mine and I am.pretty pissed about the way the wings are attached. Not just the way the brown pims are visible. I can live with that. It is the huge cap between the wings and the fusalage. I check the instructions multiple times, maybe i should have move the tech bricks a little further in, but that isnt the case. It is a major design flaw. That plus the enormous gap between the wings. Not something I cared a lot about, but it adds up. Also all the gaps between the segments arent great. Not sure but I thing some enhanced 2x1 plates could have fixed this. Then there are the caps between the canopy and the cockpit. And not to forget the gaps between the cylinder parts on the lasers. That is there ok, but it is photoshopped away on the box art. False advertising, just as with the moldmark on the plaque. Ok I like the way they did the hexagonshape alright, and so all the details. But the proportions are way off. Without the wings attached, it looks like something my wife has hidden in her nightstand for some private time. The big bulky nose makes that comparisment even stronger. I am afraid I am not the one in the family who will play with this. But then again...when you grap it at the wromg spot (underneath the wings at the panels), parts will fall off. Just as with the stand. Any positive about this set? Well like I said, details are great. Cockpit is noce. Engine are good. Hexagon shape is very well done. Price for the amount of stuff is better than the 2013 one. The printed plaque besides the false advertisement is still a huge improvement in comparisment with a sticker. The turnknob is a clever design. The wings do lock innposition. Some other minor flaws: no landing gear and R2d2 is not at scale. Btw, it is easy to fix the issue with r2d2 not able to peek outside its compartment. I added a spare round tile on it's bottom, which gives r2d2 just the right height. Simple as that. Well better li k next time. I just feel stupid I didnt wait for more reviews. Nothing wrong with the review in here, but every person sees other things. Well at least it isnt a total rip-off. It is just not the best Lego could have designed. Maybe I am.just spoiled with some other recent big sets like the razor crest.
Currently building it and the thing that is driving me nuts (and you mention here) is how flimsy the panels are secured. I think the model looks great so far but jeez, you mis-pick up the model in the wrong piece, something is going to fall off.
@@scoutstar true. But ok, it is ment to display, but still it isnt ok.
Completely agree with you. My first thought was the wing span looked to be a little short in the initial photos. Could be incredible though with a few mods. Is the wing span comparable to the older sets? Looks like the body of this new set would go well with the older wings??
I got it.. I built it...and I had a lot of fun doing so and was generally impressed with how it turned out concidering it's a fictional spaceship made out of Lego and not a studio scale model of historical significance 🤔😁...
They really have to make a UCS Venator Class Republic Star Destroyer I’ve always wanted one of those!
I haven't bought a UCS set before and I like that this isn't $500+. I think this may be my first!
Most important is messed up! Wings, nose, engins!
And so on! Means = looks awfull ! Thank you for trying to tell us! for colectors, just another rip of what they could made if lego wanted too, nothing else to say.
Nope. You’re incorrect, this is the most accurate xwing we’ve gotten
Sry, you wrong only sposored will say im wrong, check non sponsored rewievs you see :) if you dont see that it looks like all exept an acurate x wing you dont have a clue :)
I'm not lucky, I got a X Wing with wrong pieces for Step 6 (1st wing), I just send a mail to the support... First time I have this problem... :(
Biggest problem I have with this model is there are more models that need a new UCS update / version. B-Wing, Imperial shuttle, Tie interceptor, Tie Advanced, OR ones we haven't seen yet, U-wing, The Ghost, GR-75 Transport, Hammerhead or even an updated X-Wing T-70 (maybe in Poe black).
While I dont dislike this kit (aside from the engines) I just feel Lego could have waited a few more years before an update and given new life to kits that are not on a 3rd version.
Having seen that they got the angle to go down the whole length of the thing and not just the standard big hinge bricks making these sharper angles, that makes a huge difference in my opinion of the set because the official images really don't capture that detail. One quality of life thing with the set that I would change though is the nose, and not so much the size, but the color would be better if it were gray. The X-Wing is a difficult ship in Star Wars to replicate colorwise because technically it is white, but there's so much grit and grime slapped on it that it looks more gray, and so there's really just no way to emphasize that since LEGO never decided to expand their Very Light Gray palette that was only really relegated to tiny pieces in obscure mosaics and a few Bionicle sets, but had the nose been gray, that helps differentiate it from the rest of the ship, and perhaps that sloping would have been more noticeable and really helped sell it through the official images. I don't know. It's not a set for me, but I have a greater appreciation for it than what the official images conveyed. If ever I were to get a UCS X-Wing, it would probably be the original from 2000 if I could get it at a decent price. That's just the era of LEGO Star Wars I enjoy most because it's what I grew up with, and not to knock a number of sets these days, but we've left the realm of Star Wars made of LEGO and just gone into Star Wars replicas that happen to be LEGO, even the playsets, and a lot of charm is missing in newer sets, despite how incredible they look, that is felt in most 15+ years old LEGO Star Wars sets, including the UCS X-Wing from 2000, dreaded STAMPs and all.
6:36 they're called s-foils as opposed to X-foils. It stands for strike foils.
Easily should have included a brickbuilt R2 to make him in scale. I could be wrong, but to me a 3x3 (not sure if that exists though) or 4x4 dome for his head rather than the minifgure's 2x2 would be much better scaled. That way they could still have included the minifigure too. For a UCS set, slapping a minifigure R2 in a gap feels VERY low effort.
4x4 would look way too big though and then you’d have people complaining about that instead of just getting a nice minifig. 3x3 would be the ideal size probably but there aren’t any elements that could make a dome that size in Lego right now
Theirs two types of people in this world, people who bought the 2013 set and are mad they've already released a new one so hate it, and those who didn't buy the 2013 version and therefore love the new 2023 version
I still remember the pain of putting that sticker 10 years ago
That is why the OG UCS X-WING is THE GOAT THE GOAT!!!
Please bring out the OG UCS and compare all three. Seeing another X-Wing after the already remade 2013 still hasn’t sold me on this new one.
00:47 TBH I would rather had a new UCS Tie Interceptor than another x wing. Would’ve tied in better with the 40th anniversary of ROTJ given that it was the first appearance of the Tie Interceptor. That or I really wish they’d do a remake of the B Wing, again because it was only featured in ROTJ.
If I read the email correctly the Death star is for any $100 Lego srat wars purchase like 2 or 3 different sets. Edit: ah ok you mentioned it at the end.
OMG… so Lego basically said ok stop whining about the windshield we will print it… and you will get it scratched this time! 😈👹
No idea why this is getting so much hate. It looks awesome. Not everyone managed to pick up the first two. Plus, it’s from the original trilogy which is obviously the best set of Star Wars movies with the most iconic ships. Will defo pick this up at some time.
I first thought the engines looked too big but looking closer at the source material it’s actually very very accurate! I love this set as a se like 9.2/10 but as what it is it doesn’t excite me as someone who’s just gotten into ucs sets I still think we could’ve got something cooler
The redfive xwing was better
I always thought the 2013 looked accurate, but seeing it next to this one I realize how FLAT it is. It doesn't look accurate at all. I wasn't feeling this one until seeing them side by side.
The last UCS Y-Wing and A-Wing was way better in terms of proportions. Did LEGO fire their lead Star Wars designer?
I just started the build and the canopy was just loose in the box, it’s now all scratched up, not happy!!!!
Why couldn’t they put it in a seperate plastic bag.
The thing that I love about lego. Is that if you had a massive bin of Legos, you could build this without buying the set. Yeah probably alot of it won't have the right colors. But that could be cool too. Maybe you could call it a " Jaku x wing scrap fighter " and pretend that it was put together of different crashes x Wings from different squadrons. The only thing you'd have a hard time finding would be the windshield piece. Idk where you would find a windshield piece like that unless you just got that piece from lego. But that's what I used to do as a kid. I had a huge bin of Legos and some that used to be star wars sets. So I had some of the cockpit pieces laying around and I ended up finding the old instructions and started building the ships. Found most of the right colors because of how many Legos I actually had but some of them were made of lots of different colors and although it wasn't cannon or seen in star wars like that. I was still playing eith a star wars ship that I wasn't playing with before I built it. Legos are amazing
Honestly looks kinda dissapointing.
My only complaint is how white the x wing is. I think it should've been a shade of gray or something darker than white, at least the nose.
@@guilhermembs While my opinion hasn't changed, I must say it has grown on me. I caved and got the set because I desperately wanted to see it in person. After a few weeks of having built it, I think this set is very good with the exception of the color. Unfortunately this set heavily relies on viewing it from the right angles. I have it displayed in the tilted position and it looks very good. Just wish it wasn't so white and more gray.
I bought this yestereday but unfortunetly the promos were not in the store which I expected but would've gave my purchase so much more value but oh well
Good review, particularly the comparison with the previous version. They are both out of proportion, which is perplexing because it seems like making the wings longer would have been a simple solution. I wouldn't mind building this set, but the end result just doesn't seem worth the price.
The form of the windshield is plain out wrong - should get narrower to the front not wider...also the top angle from cockpit to nose is only represented by one plate...
wings look to short
One thing no one is saying that drives me crazy is that the wings open too wide! I don’t think this set is going to do well because its being overshadowed by the rumoured venator. Once that one is announced ill make a decision on which ill be getting
Nice review, I plan on getting this set. I hear the complaints about the engines. I think they look closer to the actual X-Wing but the problem is that they stiffed on the wing length. I'd say it could almost be perfect if they were about 4 studs longer at least. Then the nose, man, when will we ever get the correct nose slant?! But the more geometrical sides are a win for LEGO.
The nose and blaster tips need to be LBG hope I can find all the parts in the right color 😂
The new one is more accurate and looks good. Still, the skinny look of the 2013 version is great
Just an FYI for people interested in this set. I purchased this set during the May the 4th, 2024 sale and my set seems to have fixed some of the issues. The canopy piece was now in it's own bag so no scratches and the instruction manual images showing you how to pick it up have been fixed. The stand is still exactly the same as in this review from what I can tell, but it does not fall apart. I have had the set on my desk for a few weeks and it shakes quite a bit from my movements and it has never fallen apart even once and seems pretty sturdy. Not sure if they tweaked the tolerances on those slope parts or what but mine are fine.
My opinions on the X-wing after watching this video: Both the 2013 and 2023 models are overpriced. Just because the last one's value was trash doesn't excuse bad value on the new model, especially during record sales for LEGO. There should NOT be any stickers in UCS models, seriously. The engines aren't too big when compared to the source material, but the wings are wayyyyyy too short. The nose should've been at most 3 studs wide at the very tip, so it looks very inaccurate and lame. It also should have been light grey, like every other X-wing we've ever gotten. Overall, you're better off building your own model. Don't even get me started on the fact that the windscreen piece isn't protected in the box. The new Luke fig is good though. R2 is scaled terribly when placed in the cavity, but it looks fine.
I really don’t understand the criticism of the new x wing. Genuinely, it’s much better proportionally, much better in terms of accuracy, and does the ship justice. The 2013 X wing just doesn’t look right imo
Wooooow I originally hated the new one but once you put it next to the old one the new one just looks so much better wow thanks :D
I don't like the overal looks of this set. Compare it to the UCS Y-wing and you can just tell the Y-wing is put together in a much better way with more detail especially on the bottom side of the model. I'm not sure if the X-wing's engines are slightly too big but because R2 is just way too small it looks odd, same as the general detailing on the inside of the wings.
I guess I'll need to wait another 10 years until LEGO gets it right.
Price is $320 in Canadian $ Lego are getting ridiculous and greedy in my opinion. Lot of things slipping with Lego from a Quality perspective. This from a retired Quality Professional. Time to bail on this hobby
I have the millenium falcon and, in my opinion, this set is so much expensive. I prefer the Milano, much better
#wewantadroidbattlepack
I’m a sucker for this set, since I’m only human. That’s what a man gotta do
i willbuy it first..3 times...one i will build...and the other i will hold for the future...may sell? I collect it..great XWING -model
urg... the short wings and flat top and bottom to the body are just obnoxious.
im sure on a technical level the build is great, but its just criminally mis proportioned.
the 2000 version is by far the best version.
God I wish this wasn’t Red 5, literally any other xwing would’ve been cooler. Even some alternate panels and stickers would be cool for a choice of different versions
I'd say the proportions look good EXCEPT for the nose which is way too fat and just the wrong shape entirely. The cockpit is also not the right shape for an X Wing and idk why we haven't gotten a better piece yet
Yeah, the wings should hav been a lil longer. Looking at both X-wings they actually look the same size, weird. I'm good!!👍
Can we get the nose parts in grey? I like the grey nose better than the white one.
dont like it. Generaly, I dont like oversized UCS where minifigures dont fit. So sadly, lots of sets currently not catching my interest.
