LEGO Star Wars 75355 UCS X-WING STARFIGHTER Review! (2023)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The 3rd LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing Starfighter is among us. It's alright. For casual & newer LEGO Star Wars fans it's the perfect time to release the iconic Starfighter however it still has a few flaws and most importantly FALSE ADVERTISING. It's a good value at $240 compared to the 2013 UCS X-Wing and if you can look past some despicable marketing practices/a couple questionable design choices you'll be very happy with this one.

![The Depressing Reality Behind Why the B1's Talked SO MUCH in the Clone Wars [Not What You Think!]](/img/1.gif)
7:26 It isn't illegal because tiles are slightly thinner than regular plates, so it means that there is less pressure on them and a smaller chance of them breaking or bending because of it
Tiago Catarino made a pretty good video about it
Yeah it was also used in the justifier
Also, no studs on tiles. Part of the problem with wedging a plate between studs is that the studs of the two plates interfere, preventing the plate being fully seated or forcing it at a slight angle.
It's also the protrusion of the 'lego' text on the studs of the piece being attached to, which interfere with the studs of the attached plate
yeah i saw that video
@@dabobman37 Also the saturn v
They need to give the dual molded helmets another go, just make them smaller and sleeker like the resistance helmets that were done perfectly
yea the dual molded helmet was just amazing imo. was a little big but that was a fine compromise imo
I love it. The very nature of LEGO bricks will always lead to some minor inconsistencies in terms of scale but the one thing that is truly inexcusable is the fact that they photoshopped the information plaque to hide that point in the center.
Plus it’s worth it if you already have points at Lego as you get double vip points with orders for this week as well as sweet bonuses. Death Star 2’s are all gone in OZ though lol
Just to let you know the UCS X wing is actually $369.95 in Australia so not as good value but I had $60 in points which made it much more reasonable.
Aussie dollars sucks against the greenback lately lol.
@@DEVILTAZ35 $370 AUD = $243 USD. +$3 on the US price!
@@DEVILTAZ35I found it at target for 240 sale
Should have just included a white X because that’s all people remember seeing in the movies 😂
Man at this point I’m impressed they didn’t give us a 212 trooper that doubles as Luke pilot what people remember of the movie is some orange guy
Mama there goes that man
Wawawa Lego put the wrong fig in a set once get over it
@@elliotphillips4209 No. They messed up horribly with the UCS Republic Gunship, to the point that I and many others won't buy it. It's a premium product that you're paying hundreds for. They deserved to be memed to hell for it.
Dude I just remember seeing a ship in that scene. I wouldn't even realize if it was like a pirate ship or something, and a pirate wearing Orange as a pilot.
They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this Luke! The only downsides to this set are that dimple in the plaque, and it would have looked better if they used a larger dome piece for R2
@@kylorensleftballsack6594 r2 literally is the tiniest of things in this set😂 don’t wanna be that guy but if I’m spending lots of money I want the best thing possible, but it ain’t the world end
@@kylorensleftballsack6594 Yes because lego says "only the best is good enough" and this clearly isnt the best. Lego already did astromech droid Dome pieces, that were bigger, they just cheaped out on that one. Sry but putting a minifig scale R2 in there is quite literally stupid and lego is breaking their own rules. Also its instabile wings are also a pretty big flaw, that coudlve been fixed, but no, now it looks like complete shit when the wings are closed.
And the piece already exists
I mean legos are pretty tiny, so…. 🤷🏻♂️
@@kylorensleftballsack6594 Yeah, $240 though, so it's OK to be critical.
Overall this is a solid build at a solid price point, I don't like the non scaled r2-d2 and I'm not the biggest fan of the box art (even if it's a reference to the original UCS x wing) I probably won't pick this one up though.
You’re not buying a Lego set because of the box art?
My old babysitter had the old one and after seeing this new one, it really makes me want to get one. They had all sorts of massive Star Wars Lego sets it was insane to see when I was little.
Right, i'm gonna get mine tomorrow at 12 am lol.
My mom was a big Star Wars fan as a kid and has influenced me to love Star Wars too. I was about 10-11. I remember her buying imax tickets for The Force Awakens which were quite expensive in my home country just to see this movie and us loving everything about it (Sequels were eh but that movie will be a core memory for me despite being okay at BEST).
Nine years later im buy a Star Wars set that’d 10 yr old me would see from afar 😭
I must say the quality of that review was ON POINT. the pace was perfect, audio was crisp and clean, your critics were valid and you also highlighted what was good. Good work Ryan
I had a missing piece in my UCS Slave 1. LEGO was quick to send me a replacement. Their support is some of the best I've ever experienced.
Still think the 2018 play scale X-wing is the best they've ever done. (with a few minor modifications it's an incredible display model)
Out of curiosity, do you have the 2021 version to compare? I thought that one is the best, but eager to hear different opinion
@@Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm With credit to the 2021 version, it's good for its price point. But as to the accuracy and design, it's lacking in certain areas.
Google 2018 X-wing and you'll see where the 2018 got things sooooo right.
Few things Ryan. In terms of the x wing being white at the tip, remember we are seeing a Lego designers version of a studio model. That studio model would have had weathering particularly on the tip that would give the illusion of it being a different colour. However it is supposed to be the same colour if it were fresh off the factory floor and considering lego can’t do weathering on pieces very well they made a design decision for white.
But hundreds of other x-wings in all of Lego's iterations from polybags to playsets to previous UCSes have grey tips. Pretty sure they, too, were based off some official design or something.
Not to mention those produced by Kenner, Hasbro, Bandai and every other toy and collectible company on the planet.
Not saying it’s terrible but it feels like a very good prototype. I Think lego could of very easily ironed out the small creases in this set that look off
I'm sure they'll iron them out in the 2033 release. 😉
@@carlgomberg lol. You’d hope a set like this would last at least 4 years on shelf’s
01:12 you think that’s bad? I got the new Land Rover set recently and it wasn’t just missing 1 piece, it was missing 2 entire bags!!!! 05:20 Especially when they already have the perfect R2 dome piece from the buildable R2D2 polybag set that seems like it would be in the perfect scale for this UCS X wing! I mean they could’ve still included the minifigure version on the stand, but used the bigger dome piece to make R2 look like he belongs in the X wing at this scale! All I’m saying is I’m betting that polybag is gonna get a bit of a price bump when people start MOCing and modifying this set! 😂
0:06 they missed the oportunity to make it 1977 pieces
Regarding that missing piece, I've assembled around 100 Lego kits and have experienced a missing piece only one time and it was a similar situation as with MandR where there is an extra unneeded piece and a missing piece.
I'm certain they use weighing machines to help count their pieces, which explains why we get an extra piece in place of a missing one because if the kits were simply missing a piece, the scale would reveal that.
Point is if you are simply missing a piece and don't have an extra piece, it's most likely you're missing pieces under your couch
I've got about 50 or so and have had a missing piece in about 3 of them and 1 had a piece that was messed up. It was a small plate piece and it looked like something heavy fell on the corner of it and dented it. It wouldn't let the piece next to it sit flush bc once it was dented a piece of it was bowed out slightly. I order a new one but fixed it before the piece got here. I just tapped it with a hammer. You can't see the piece so it didn't matter to me that it was slightly messed up. Of the 3 or so times I had a piece missing, only once did I have an extra piece of another kind. I might have got more than 50 sets but the first 30 or so of them, I didn't have 1 missing piece and then once it happened, within the next 10 or 15 sets it happened 2 more times.
I accidentally threw out the dome pieces from millenium falcon with the plastic bags and I just emailed lego that it didn't come in the box and I got a new one free
@@JamesBricks06 they are very good about that. I've gotten sticker sheets from them a couple times, and that "missing" piece
@@MajDuty hahaha 😅
When you said the engines are set too high, I was like, YES! that's what it is! That's what makes it look so odd to me. Happy with my 2013 version. Bring on the Venator!
Yep, second he said that I looked over at mine (Built it yesterday). It’s 100 percent the reason why it looks so weird.
I still love the set and I’m happy I got it.
The tiles are slightly thinner then plates causing the plate to not bend. Amazing video, keep it up!!
I thought the plate-between-studs technique was illegal too, until I saw it used to make the stone cutter in the Minecraft crafting box 3.0 a couple of years ago
I had a missing piece on the AT-M6 - can't remember exactly what it was, but it was a fairly common piece so I stole one from the kids pile - that's literally the only missing piece I've had, ever, and been buying lego sets on and off for decades - so many hundreds of sets - I guess that's why something from years ago stuck in my mind.
This set does look good don’t get me wrong, I didn’t think that set was needed. It would have been better if it was released in 2027 for the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, a third UCS x wing was inevitable but right now was not the right time
I picked my UCS x wing a few days ago cause o don’t have the other ones, and it’s size impressed me just like with when I got the gunship.
To give them the benefit of the doubt, it's possible that they did redesign the mold for the 8x16 tile and future runs of the set will not have the mold mark as they use up their stock of the old tile, but... I find that unlikely
That is definitely not what happened lol big stretch
I think I'm going to take the dual-molded helmet from my 2018 X-wing Luke and put it on this Minifigure. Excited to replace my 2018 X-wing with this one, definitely an upgrade! Should pair perfectly with the buildable X-Wing pilot helmet, as well!
I could definitely see myself buying the nosecone pieces in light grey to replace the white ones the set comes with, to make it look a little more screen-accurate. Shouldn't be too difficult or expensive of a modification.
EDIT: Completed the modifications (also extended each wing by one stud-length), and it looks absolutely fantastic. It's a much bigger set in-person than I expected!
I just had 5 missing pieces in my A-Frame cabin set, all from bag 4. They ended up providing 2 random pieces that the set never required. I am used to extra small pieces but the ones I ended up with were much larger. First time that ever happened. I actually had to request a specific piece from lego via replacement process due to me not having that piece in my collection for that color. Now my confidence is shaken.
My sister was missing a piece from the winter penguin set. They gave a smooth L tile instead of a studded one (i didnt want to dig through my bulk lego to find one). We haven't been missing any pieces before or since, so I think it's fine. I'm hoping none of my May 4th sets are missing pieces.
The Red 5 does actually have a white nose, but it looks grey in a new hope
‘Employees should be fired’ relax mannnn
I agree he goes so over the top about a small plastic blemish
Will say though lego choked on that print piece like the Celtics in game 1
Or the Bruins against the Panthers in Round 1
Or the patriots at the end of the regular season
Been rockin w Ryan f years now... Always come here for sets I really do wanna buy. Most thorough reviews man keep up the grind broski
Thank you Cesar :)
tiles are slightly thinner then plates making it so that doing plates in the stud groves work fine. Plates in the stud grove is what causes the strain on the part making it "illegal"
My main problem with this set was honestly the year. I feel it would’ve been cool next May for 25 years of LEGO Star Wars, and this year could’ve been like the sail barge.
The nose cone is supposed to be an off white: closer to a tan than the previous models that had it grey. The engines are slightly too big, however much better looking that the 2013 version which have the engines the same size as the thrusters. I dont think the ship looks too fat, I think the front is too short. It looks like it needs another inch. The R2 is too small but it is in both the other versions as well. It definitely sits to low, which i believe should be easy to fix. I am going to try and use the bag R2 see if i can get that to look better, although i think it will be too big. Only thing i'm disappointed in is that the proton torpedo bay is gone from the 2013.
On Red 5 the nose should be the same color as the body. Red 2, Red 4, and Red 6 have the yellowish-tan colored nose. You can see image of Red 5 at 0:46.
awesome review thanks! I dont think the mold mark is photoshopped out, its a concept image with printed sticker. misleading non the less!
1:53 I would love to see them bring back the helmet visor on the helmet as well. The visor printed on the face is kind of goofy.
The paneled you get at the beginning are my favorite.😊
I was missing a whole bag 10 with my UCS Razorcrest lol.
02:40 bro... it's not that deep
suggesting that people should be fired for photoshopping a mold mark is going a little far lmao
That’s my point and one kid got mad and (tried) to roast me I destroyed him
I don’t think someone looking at it notices blemishes. I agree with u 100%
Slopes on the sides of the nose are placed incorrectly (right and left side are swapped). Great video!
I was missing a piece recently. Inwas very surprised. Lucky it was just a technic peice with the holes in it. And i had a replacement
I got back into Lego with the Star Wars lego helmets, love them! This is my first dip into UCS, i really dont have space for them or money, so this works well for me. I really want to see a N1 starfighter UCS though.
I am not sure editing the injection mold point out of the image is false advertising. It’s very common for marketers to alter imagery for promotional purposes. Cars are a great consumer product example. Vehicles are often shown at auto shows with production “intent” paint and features that never actually show up on production units. The piece shown on the box does accurately represent the content and imagery found inside the box. Legally, I believe, this would be hard to nail down as actual false advertising. However, your point about Lego having the ability to move the injection point is interesting to consider. It could be the relatively thin profile of the piece makes that tough to do in production. The sample piece you refer to is much thicker and moving the injection point seems far easier to accomplish. Let’s hope Lego is listening to all of these comments and is looking for ways to move the injection point at some point for future UCS sets. It is nice to no longer worry about a sticker.
7:20 IIRC, Plates between studs is illegal, but tiles between studs is okay, since there are no extra studs to interfere with a flush connection.
I wouldn't have even cared about the mold point if they hadn't tried to hide it, other than that pretty cool
I had a damaged piece in the latest UCS Star Destroyer. One of the red 2x2 stud plates was bent about 50 degrees. All I did was go through their help website saying I had a damaged piece, gave them the part number and they sent 1 and 2 spares out no questions asked. Top notch customer service.
They also often photoshop logo & injection mark out of the gold ingot parts now. But the funny thing is that you can actually find markless ingot parts, in China, and that -perhaps- that's what Lego itself it using (for the non-3D shots), and they're not actually photoshopping anything.
I just built this set and it looks absolutely brilliant. I don't have the R2 minifig in its slot though because it does look too small. The X wing still looks brilliant though on my desk. I have it on backwards on the stand so it points down and is easier to see when sitting down at my desk.
1:15 you know what's funny? You say you never see missing pieces but man, it's litterally every other lego set in the last year I've gotten that's been missing a piece or two. Super frusterating when you don't have a plethora of extra lego pieces to replace it quickly.
Tiles between studs is legal (also done by LEGO before, for example the flag on the lunar surface portion of their Saturn V rocket). Plates betwen studs is illegal.
I just finished it and i absolutely love it my favorite Star Wars set
I had 2 pieces missing from the Captain Rex helmet. This was the first time that had ever occured but luckily they were simple pieces I had plenty of and they were also inner frame pieces so dodged a bullet there haha. I really want to get this X Wing though! I own the 2013 version and love it, but when I saw this in person on May 1st, it really won me over. I think it will be a while before i get it though. Possibly next year as I am eyeing both the UCS A Wing and Republic Gunship since missing both when I returned to the hobby last year
You buy what you want, but I'd wait until that Republic Gunship goes on sale (if it ever does). They messed that set up BAD. The minifigures are terrible and they didn't include the option to ditch the side bubble turrets for just doors, which is the look almost everyone prefers.
I've only had it happen once and it was Landos hair from the Home One set. I have had a piece that was damaged/warped from the UCS Slave I. Both times Lego was quick to fix it.
@The First Curse They didn't include the option to remove the bubble turrets because the gunship ALWAYS HAD THEM in AOTC and ROTS. If Lego was to include the option to remove them and replace them with the Clone Wars style doors, they would have to change so much of the set to not only cover up the main bay doors but also the doors behind the cockpit AND make sure that the model looked good, remained stable, and was functional, all of which would increase the price far more than it already was. The UCS gunship is an amazingly accurate model with figures that, while not particularly desirable, are accurate to a somewhat memorable scene with gunships in AOTC, that being when Mace first meets with Commander Ponds.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 That's hilarious because SO MANY MOCS on the internet did it PERFECTLY FINE. The insanely large majority of people prefer it with the full doors.
As for the minifigures, there's literally NO excuse for what they did. The fans voted for this set, and they rushed it and it doesn't look as good as other UCS sets. Then they put in the completely wrong and incorrect mini figures that don't work with the set and look horrible with it. THEN they make incorrect and shitty hostile comments about it, basically spitting on their fans.
They sabotaged this set.
@The First Curse First off, MOCs don't have to be designed to be stable, which they often aren't, whereas Lego sets HAVE to be designed to be completely stable. Secondly, I agree that them not complying with the fan vote was wrong, but as I said before, the figures DO make sense with the set (though I personally think it should have just come with two pilots). Lastly, name a single damn comment made by the Lego Group that was hostile. They made a SINGLE wrong comment about the commander doubling as a pilot, but they NEVER said anything that was "basically spitting on their fans." Get off your high horse and stop complaining and blowing the most miniscule things out of proportion over a beautiful looking rendition of the LAAT/i Gunship..
Just found your page after rediscovering legos after an accident in my 20s left me homebound. Super fucking dope of you to do this, they’re expensive sets and it’s nice to know what In spending money on
Couldn't a literal class action lawsuit occur because of that mold mark, they intentionally photoshopped it out. It's actually literal false advertisement.
Still hoping for a UCS UWing and $160ish playscale Stinger Mantis, but this is pretty cool.
Looking forward to building it with my brother once his set comes in. I personally went with the final duel and SSD to get the death star 2 promo.
Man I love the U-Wing and it looks so slick too!
Isn't it awesome the piece count of the set is the same year that LEGO began producing "automatic binding bricks," the precursor to the modern brick
7:38 putting plates between studs is an “illegal” technique, but with tiles it’s fine.
With R2D2, the R2 minifig isn't actually to scale with human minifigs, and I don't think it looks as bad as a larger dome would have. I placed a 1x1 round tile underneath R2 and it looks a lot better with him sat that little bit higher.
On your comment about illegal building techniques and what is and isn’t considered one. An illegal building technique is specifically a way of interlocking the pieces in a way that creates unintended strain that can lead to bricks breaking and warping. The technique used in the engines is not an illegal technique because it doesn’t put any extra strain on the pieces though if they did that with plates instead of tiles it would be illegal.
The X-Wing is my favorite ship and I think this looks amazing..I'd really love to have this set
While it is a nice enough model, bar a few small things like the plaque and R2, I feel it was unnecessary to have a 3rd UCS X-Wing model.
Honestly, this set is better than the flak people give. Looks fine if you could get over some of the excessive tiles on the side and disproportionate size of r2. But for many of us I assume are probably saving cash to get the venator that’s coming this year and the gunship. So it’s a pass for me.
R2 Is really not even that poorly sized.
Good review man. I like how you point out stuff they could fix. I think out of all the Lego reviews I’ve seen yours are the most detailed and honest keep up the good work!
I loved building this set and I think it looks great despite some of the scale flaws, but the one thing that really disappointed me after finishing the build was realizing that the cockpit doesn't close when you seat Luke in the pilot seat. Seriously wtf Lego.... At this price point you should be able to seat Luke in the X-wing. You can fit him in there if you have him almost lying down, but it seems like a major oversight to not allow him to sit in the cockpit seat with a closed canopy.
FYI. Email Lego about missing pieces and they will send it to you!
can you do a quick comparsion between all the UCS x wings? I want to know if I should sell my 2013 version and buy the new one
I like this set and think it’s at a good price point. Won’t be picking it up though because i’ve only just ordered my first UCS set (Razor Crest).
I agree - they made it a bigger issue by trying to hide the mold mark in marketing
4:00 I ordered light and Gael grey pieces and built the nose with those colours. From that one change alone, the set looks markedly better.
I personally had a missing piece in my 501st battle pack in January,But I got an extra helmet,so it wasn't as bad as just missing a piece.
7:46 The engines look like they run high because they're sitting on top and below the strike foils where as if y ou look at an X-Wing model head on, you notice that the engines are more blended into the foil.
In my opinion the body looks great but the wings are a bit too short. I think making the wings slightly longer would solve the complaints of the body looking too stuby and the engines too bis
I'm looking forward to the comparison video
@MandRproductions RE: height of the engines... when comparing them to reference pictures, they're about as high as R2, but don't forget, R2 in this build is the mini-fig version rather what should be than a larger version as you mentioned
0:55 was to explain how and where to hold the build/pick it up as to not pick it up from an angle where pieces could come off or have it accidentally dropped.
Bought this set yesterday, am building it later today, am glad I'm watching this beforehand just in case
Looking at those big gaps on the wings it seems like an easy fix would be some stud pins in the technic bars with white tiles or a couple 2 by 4 curve tiles attached. Dunno why they chose to leave it so open looking🤔
Fu. Fact if you look at the actual x wing model, it’s actually pretty gappy as well. Mainly due to them wanting the fighters to look more rugged.
@@darrelleaster5381 mm there's not gaps there, I've seen Adam savage looking at an original studio model and there were no through gaps
Maybe not exactly, but you can see the engine pods coming through the wings. I have a Bandai model myself for comparison.
Hey mate. Thanks for the early reviews and suggestions. I decided to split my order with Lego into 2 orders so I ended up with 2 of the Death Star 2’s , 2 medallion things and 2 mini X-wings delivered today so that was pretty sweet.
I’ve just gotten into Lego Star Wars huge fan of Star Wars n huge fan of you Ryan
If you are getting back into purchasing Lego, would this be a set you first purchase? Or would it be UCS Gunship, Mos Eisley Cantina, etc.
FYI great videos! Honestly it’s a large part of why I have been thinking of getting back into Star Wars Lego.
Cantina!
Cantina is niceeeee
0:51 okay so in the newest version of the instructions from the website the image on the left has a green tick and the image on the right has a red cross. I guess what they were trying to say is that you should lift the model from the main body since it's stronger, and not from the wings.
That R2-D2 dome print is awful!
And the photoshopping of the mold blemish is atrocious!
But as they say, “only the best is good enough!”
In my Rivendell 10316 I had a bottom half sloper 2x2 block, itkl looks good for a castle ruin builder and the customer support immidiately sent a new one🎉 for the price it's really good that at least they acknowledge when they made a mistake and solve it ASAP
Bro, the Same missing piece situation happened to me with the Camaro Z28, they gave me three printed pieces when I’m only supposed to get two.
They then removed a crucial interior piece. Luckily I had the same piece in a diff color.
In my over 20 years of building lego, I have only found a missing piece twice: one in the MBS Mos Eisley Cantina and one in Rivendell. However, Lego sent replacement pieces no questions asked.
The best MKlll X-wing UCS review so far. Straight talk with an attitude - and obviously you know your shit. Respect 👊🏻🙌🏻
One of the biggest issues is they're still using an inaccurately shaped canopy piece for who knows why. It just makes the entire nose way too fat
Photoshopping out the mold mark is so scummy. Big thumbs down.
Last time I had missing pieces was with a ninjago spinner set, got it off eBay so I didn’t ask for replacements
Man I was waiting for this review for a long time your and extremely credible source so worth the wait.
My least favorite part of the set for me has to be the angle of the stand. makes it so you can really only display it well if its below eye level.
Another review I watched had it turned sideways and it looked awesome
Not sure how everyone complaining about stickered display plaques didn't see this coming. The mold mark has been there forever, it's there on the printed Ferrari plaque. The stickers look 10x better.
Hey Ryan, I’ve been watching your channel since 2017, but I finally decided to make a channel after all these years so I could interact in the comments.
Anyways great review, always appreciate the honesty and it’s impressive to see how far your reviews have come. Keep up the good work.
My biggest complaint is the gaps. going down the line you can see into the set. I have both older UCS X-Wings and neither have that from what I recall.
Stacking tiles in between plates is legal, sticking is plates between plates is illegal because the stud part causes stress
Let's be real a moment, while the photoshop incident deserves LEGO getting a wrist slap, the mark itself is not a big deal. When viewing the info plaque from a regular distance, 99% of people won't see the injection mark. If you're standing about three or so feet away, the dot completely disappears -- you'll just see the plaque, read The Logo and that it's an X-Wing, and move on to what's really important: the X-Wing itself.
It's a VERY impressive X-Wing, and yeah, those engines are a little too big, R2 is WAY TOO small (so don't bother putting him in there). Yet, there's a lot to admire. This is the best looking UCS X-Wing to date by a mile if you compare them in person. I have this one side-mounted so its in a bank turn, and it is really a focal point of the room where I've placed it. It's just an iconic ship built at an epic size with some great details.
Best thing is that its LEGO. If you want to change things...grab some LEGO pieces and edit to your heart's content.
Speaking of missing pieces, last year TWO of my sets were missing crucial pieces for the Inquisitor Ship and a Slave I
only getting ucs sets that are minifig scale accurate, makes my collection look and feel so much cooler and authentic
Still would have preferred a prequel oriented UCS set
@@trentoninnewjersey Is there a source for that? I know there's like 1238i912489124 videos on supposed rumors but is there anything credible?
@@thisissostupidliterallywhy PromoBricks is the most reliable Lego leaker
Interesting you were missing a part, but gained an extra. My UCS Razor Crest was missing one of the wedge plates, I got 3 left hands and only one right, shoulda been 2 and 2. Any chance we'll get a comparison between this and the 2013? I've got a moded 2013 with appropriately sized engines, unsure if this is worth picking up
When I can to watch this video an add came up for this Lego set
Looks wise, this is an absolutely amazing set. It makes my shelf objectively better with it than without. But this was the worst build experience of any Lego product I have EVER built! By a long way. The hull panels are held together by two 1x2 bricks which dislodge after every minor bump, and reattaching them is not easy and will usually mean knocking off other panels.
Parts from the stand also pop off for no apparent reason, but the two pieces that have fallen off so far don't seem to be necessary to the overall build so I've just left them off.
I got this set one may 1st it is awesome and it was my first UCS set, I got it for my birthday
