Jang is kinda like Bob Ross but with Legos
Oh wow, that’s so true
A happy price to part ratio
"There are no mistakes, just happy little accidental MOCs."
I love it, lol!
yess
Resistance X wing is one of my top LEGO Star Wars sets periods, just cause the gray and blue color scheme is very appealing to me.
It feels unremarkable at first but the color scheme is actually my favorite lol
Never thought I’d see the best LEGO animators commenting on Jang
They need to do different color Rebel X-Wings and give Red 5 a break.
i want it so bad but they dont make it anymore :(
Brother hood workshop!!
TC, an ex-LEGO designer, explained recently that each color of rubber band has a different tension rating. In this case, it looks like the blue rubber bands have *too* much tension [causing the engine nozzles to curve inward].
its such a good solution to use the four seemingly weaker whites, two on either side, than two blue total.
i love the white void he lives in
really sets the mood
Honestly I love all of them. Having the blue/gray resistance one, Poe's new white and orange, and the Rebellion one, I think the newest version is almost the most refined they can do. That being said, the first ones back from 2015 were pretty dang good. Really high quality sets.
the most refined is Xwing set 9493 from year 2006.
@@aowaow453 You mean 2012?
“Balance of FORCE”
Jang is awesome.
The black X-Wing looks so cool.
yeah it's super great
My favourite lego set I own
It’s cool to see the evolution of Lego’s parts inventory over the years. The level of detail in the newer models is really impressive!
Still prefer the ot x wings, still very fond of the 2015 and 2016 versions though!
I prefer my 7140 X-Wing. I worry about rubber bands degrading over time and prefer clicking the wings into place.
@@Gzilla313 I've got a 2006 x-wing, but the rubber band died LONG ago....
I really miss the 2013 background music; it brings so much nostalgia!
Wow poe is really hogging those x wings
Can I just say, I love all of them. X-wings are awesome, no matter which era they’re from.
They all look amazing!
I especially like the Rise Of Skywalker colour scheme for the newer X Wing Poe uses.
I like your Abraham Lincoln like beard btw, JANG.
XO
The black and orange really works for me, it just perfectly pleases my brain
Your voice is so calming !
I remember getting Poe's black and orange X-wing then the resistance X-wing the blue and gray I dont have the one from rise of skywalker
I love how they progressed and to say the truth, I was interested in Poe X-Wing from Episode 7 (black one) but then decided not to buy it. It's a shame that we got the Resistance X-Wing and not a Blue Squadron X-Wing from Rogue One.
It’s pretty pointless for them to make a blue one because you can simply replace the red pieces on the 2018 x wing
I mean I just got a clearance price T-65 from 2018 and went on bricklink and found the dark red pieces in dark blue. Then I found some dark blue 1x2 tiles and bam, I’ve got a blue squadron X-Wing. Not an official set unfortunately but it cost me a total of $55 for everything plus the time to assemble it.
Blue leader is a fan favorite for sure
Luis E Morales Falcon you could modify the OT xwing though, whereas we only have one T-70 X-wing (that isn’t a Poe version).
I bougth all xwing version this year and Im so so happy!! including 1999 and special edition crhistmas xwing, each one is so emblematic, i dont go for competitions betwen them
I have all 3 and I think the rise of skywalker is my favorite build, but I love the blue/gray color scheme.
I was exhausted out of my right mind when I watched this, so when he said balance of force and got all excited, I was like, what's so exciting, for a good 20 seconds, then I caught on!
The orange one looks like it would fit in with the Ice Planet theme from the '90's.
The generic resistance v-wing is deffinetly my favorite . Love how the blue and grey go together . The rise of Skywalker x-wing looks like it belongs in the Lego City coast guard theme . And the Force Awakens x-wing is good but like the blue one more .
I’m so pumped for this retrospective series. That first sequel trilogy wave is what made me discover your channel. Been watching ever since!
X-wing fighters are always iconic. What i am missing today is that the kids don‘t play with these lego xwings. They build them and put it on the shelf. No kid outside... no one. Lego... is too expansive to play with it outside. It is a pity. In the 70s and 80s we went outside snd took our legomodels with us. And it was so much fun. Flying around and in the neighborhood. Wow, it was awesome. Our models were not that overengeneerd, but we loved them therefor.
He said "least favorite thing" I've got money on the First order "AT-ST"
You mean half a AT ST
@@Thundervolt240 you mean decapitated
It is fun to see the evolution of the designs. Due to cost and time, the vast majority of fans (of LEGO & Star Wars in this case) will never have the chance to compare and contrast multiple versions of a set that they love. Generally speaking, it seems that the more modern designs are decent improvements, to say the least. Bravo LEGO and designers for keeping the bar high and for working hard to improve each time around.
The blue x-wing is my first set
The 2014 Arctic Icebreaker was my first set. The first Star Wars set I got was the 2019 AT-AP
Hold onto it. Having a x-wing is a nostalgia seed like no other
Quick fact, StarWars is in the genre of Space Western. Space Western was very popular in the 50’s and early 60’s.
I actually really like the color scheme of the newest build! The orange-white-blue coloration really makes it stand out among the grays and black of most X-Wings.
There's one issue I have with JANG's analysis in terms of look vs. play. I know JANG is always cognizant that these _are_ toys and that we shouldn't lose sight of that. The decision to have shooters only on the bottom of the new X-wing was the wrong decision for sure. However, having the lever for the S-foils on the top was the correct decision for play. It's quite satisfying while swooshing, to be able to flick the wings open with one hand. Having the lever on the bottom instead, as JANG suggested, would take away that awesomeness. Because that top section is greebling on the in-universe X-wings, I think it was a natural choice for the positioning of lever, even if it sacrifices a bit of the look. Although I really wish that knob part came in a different color other than black and tan.
I hope we continue to get a lesser but steady stream of sequel sets going forward. When we get entire waves for things like TCW and episode 9, it leaves no room for other parts of the franchise. We should at least get 2ish sets per trilogy per wave imo
A: We have to change colors. We cannot have blue rubber bands with black/orange colors. Make a quick, simple change.
B: OK. Fixed. Blue rubber bands with blue/grey colors.
A: Perfect.
Me: Quick and simple???
X wing is JUST a classic.
Yeah
There are several people who do comparison videos, but what makes this uniquely better is that Jang focuses on the design evolution of different aspects of the set. It is easy for anyone to put the sets side by side and compare overall design, but this goes a step further by looking at the individual pieces and how they are used and changed for improvement. Bravo Jang!
Thanks for doing this!! The black and orange one will always be my favourite, that colour scheme just matches perfectly.
I love the black and orange of the original Poe Dameron's X-wing, but the build of the newest one from 2020 is obviously the best of the three
Pretty sure the pole that sticks out underneath is supposed to act as a stand rather than a slamming down wing closing mechanism. It sticks down far enough that it's at about the same level as the ends of the wings so the weight is dispersed better. It can't be a wing closing play feature because if you slam it on a surface, it pushes against the wings at the same time as the pin so you're applying pressure on the wings before they can close so you end up bending the plates until to pin pushes the lever that closes the wings.
The black X-Wing ended my many year hiatus from Lego. Naturally I've purchased almost every X-Wing since (only skipped polybags.)
Solid set. Absolutely love the new one, just don't love the new price. I was able to get both of the old ones at a pretty significant discount, but discounts have been few and far between this year.
The 2015 one's color scheme is just awesome! It reminds me of the Jek-14's stealth starfighter from 2013 , which is also super cool!
I adore the streamlined paintjob of the TROS version, how the orange flows all the way through the white base.
I really like the gapless closed s-foils of the newest design, but in attack position I don't like them at all. It really bugs me how much smaller the bottom one is compared to the top.
I noticed this too, but then I looked at the movie design and the bottom wings are indeed much smaller
the orange and blue is actually my favorite design and color scheme
I really like Poe Dameron's original black and orange x-wing, which is likely due to the fact I own the set and it's the only X-wing I have. I especially love the LEGO version of it because of how well the colours pop with the glossier plastic used for LEGO bricks. I remember Jang's video back in 2015 when he mentioned that point when comparing it to a regular toy non LEGO version
Original Poe Dameron colors are just too cool imo. Love that set so much. The blue bands are my only major complaint
Please keep Poe’s 2015 X-Wing built for me, when the review of it came out I watched it religiously because I was in love with the set and really wanted it, and the look into the new world of Star Wars before the movie came out was incredible, it was such a special time for me, I own all three of these X-Wings plus the Hasbro version of the 2019 one but the 2015 one will always have a special place in my heart because of your review and the nostalgia I have for it and the time period we lived in 🖤🧡
Really loving these comparison videos👍👍 Edit: My favourite of these three is definitely the Blue and gray one.
"You don't have anything to balance the Force with"
-Jang 2020 :D
dang I need jang when im mad at something like istg his voice is so smooth and calming
If the og jang review music doesn’t make you happy then you aren’t a real LEGO fan
Thanks Jang. Orange + black own it love it. I do like the other colours. Just like how Poe is invincible in the air.(except in a tie) On the ground or hanger very vulnerable.🤠
Great comparison review Jang... as usual. I love the aesthetic of the black and orange one. I regret not getting when it came out. Thanks again for sharing.
New design with grey or white and a variety of colors. Need to fill out a few squadrons.
Really enjoying this series!
That black X-wing goes crazy. Gonna have to save some serious money for it apparently
I have the orange and black one and I absolutely love it! I’m super biased towards the color though. Orange being my favorite and the black is just a great combination color. The build for the orange and white one looks better though. I look forward to the rest of these retrospectives!
I retrofitted the original mechanism from the first two sequel x-wings into the original trilogy Xwing, but kept the two elastic bands so I could fill in the horrid gap across the top. It took only very minor modification to achieve it, but you gained the best of both worlds. You could probably achive the same result with the third sequel Xwing to remove the gap and detail the top.
I like the newest color scheme. Reminds me of the Arcadia Class Jumpship
That black and orange is my favorite scheme, but the build for the latest one is far better. If you find the time you should definitely make a T-65, T-70 and T-85 Jang fighter
The 2020 build with the black & orange colour scheme. In fact, I'm now exploring the possibility of doing that since I have all of them and I've already disassembled the 2020 one.
For those wondering, the most recent version of this X-Wing is available at Walmart on clearance. If you can manage to find one at the right store, they're closer to $60 instead of the original $90
I like the colors of the black and orange
I recently built a recolored version of the 2020 design into the 2016 resistance colors. It looks SLEEK
Really enjoying the series so far!
I share the blue/gray Bias since the classic space era
I always loved the sleek, black and orange color scheme for the 2015 version. That one's definitely my favorite. Second place goes to 2019, and last place goes to 2016.
Out of these the resistance X-wing is the best and therefore it compares to the OT X-wing which is the base model and a great design. Better for army building and battle/dogfight dioramas.
Hey Jang! I don’t know about anyone else here, but I’d love to see you try on to fix some of these sets! I know you’re a busy guy, but just an idea for later. Keep up the great work :)
Very very interesting👍🏼, and nice x wings
If you combine the words Jang and LEGO you get jango, therefore jang is the real jango fett
Love that you're taking comments!
Black x wing is fantastic
White and orange X-Wing is cool
You can also pull out a back section in the 2016 one
I honestly prefer the knob on top to open the S-Foils. it allows more detail to be put on the model, and they work similarly, as opposed to the old worm gear mechanism of past X-Wings that is.
This is a good retrospective.
Will you be doing a video about the incorrect sets (First order AT-ST, Heavy Scout Walker, Etc) and the communication issues that led to their existence? I’ve always found this very interesting and I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on the matter.
I have both the Red Five from 2018 as well as Poe’s from this year. Both are amazing sets, I just wish I could’ve been able to get the 2015 one too.
Star wars sqaudrons is almost exactly what you described for customization
I do not have an x wing yet, this guy saves us so much time!
I knew the blue rubber bands part was coming, lol! However, I agree fully they should have used black...
I love the black and orange color scheme, the blue and grey is also good, and I really don't like the white and orange one, which is weird because I like the red and white color scheme on Luke's x-wing.
I have 75102 (to go with my original 9493 X-Wing) and I must saw I prefer the colour of that one over the Blue and white/orange. Also, you never mentioned but 75273 has the Astromech turned the proper way (finally)
Great new reviews mate
ThEy FlY noW?!??
I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating...hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me...what can I do? I will do anything you ask
Because jetpacks only existed since the prequels
Your last video pushed me over the edge to buy the UCS Falcon. I’m aware of your thoughts on it with regards to it’s size and space for it but you’re right, it’s art in Lego form. The system scale just doesn’t do it for me.
Really enjoying this series thus far. You’re one of only two youtubers I’m actively excited to see new videos on my feed. RLM Being the other. Thanks for the content.
I own the 2015 version. Bought it specifically because it is so striking. I care less about canon and more about something that looks cool.
Hey Jang!! I am liking the new and a bit different type of content lately and Sir , may I tell you, you are the best Lego youtubers!!
But i would like to make a suggestion to try new content like this (you know like top 10s and differences..etc.).I would love to see and I am sure it would be appreciated by all.
Please reply if you see this.. :3
I’m really liking the more frequent Jang uploads
Love the blue and gray. It is the Classic Lego Space color scheme! Imagine a trans yellow windshield and planet/rocket logo! And to pilot it, we even have an orange space man now , to fuse X-wing Pilot Jumpsuit color with Classic Space Lego:)
the 2020 design is my favorite, I really want to get it someday. Bright orange, white, and light blue is one of my favorite color schemes (portal anybody?)

Star wars squadrons: Am I a joke to you ?
Great review, keep doing them, the final should have all the lego sets secuel trilogy before you get rid of them, to show us the size of all the collection, excellent work!!
The 2015 one kind of reminds me of the Arcadia Jumpship from Destiny.
Love this series! Would love to hear you talk about the Kylo Ren's ships, specifically his Tie Silencer and Shuttle
Jang! Miss seeing you on ultimate rc
I like the white orange one, I'll hunt for it and see if there still one available in my country.
Jang, you deserve a cookie
You should compare all the fairground collection.
I'd like to see a comparison of the first order/ villains of the sequels, or a comparison of the battlepacks
Blue n grey all the way!
I would like to see a comparison of the play sets made throughout the trilogy.
