Product Description
Patience, patience. The 1,304-piece LEGO X-Wing Fighter set is a serious investment in time, but the finished product is breathtakingly cool. Eighteen inches long, 13 inches tall, and 8 inches wide, the finely detailed model includes hinged wings and an R2 astromech droid figure for added realism. Once you've completed the model (the visual instructions are fairly easy to follow), set it on the black plastic base with product details from the Incom Corporation. The Empire will crumble soon!

(2) Well-engineered and integrated mechanics to open and close the X-wings. (3) Easy-to-understand instructions. (4) Model stand with boilerplate included (nice touch.) CONS: (1) Cockpit window has been troublesome in staying shut when closing. I had to use some workarounds to fix it. (2) Opening/closing mechanisms are difficult to adjust if not done correctly the first time. There's an issue with the weight of the wings with proper gear alignment. (3) Engines are structurally weak. It broke off on occasion, particularly travelling beyond light speed... test driving...you know...ah hem! I remedied the situation by supergluing the engine down. NOTE: I am quite impressed with the engineers at LEGO in creating a close replica of the X-wing while maintaining the LEGO feel. Sure makes the age 7-12 X-wing fighter quite small. This model has a wingspan of 16" and a length of...

I'm not a massive Star Wars fan but I do follow the films. Everyone knows how the X-Wing looks like, roughly, but this model showed me many intricate details which I never realised - the massive length of the wingtip lasers, for example. It took me a few tries to get the gears properly aligned for the x-wing section, and that proved to be an education in itself - I am amazed at how the Lego engineers have balanced the construction of the wings and the main fuselage.It was a small shock to me to see how colourful this X-wing model is - is it really so colourful in the films? The first page of instructions alone must have featured at least 6-7 colours. In any case, the construction work is much more fun and satisfying than the comparatively simple Tie Interceptor model of the same series - I must mention that the money spent on the X-wing is much more worth it than that spent on the Tie Interceptor (the latter is much...

Its so highly detailed and resembles the movie's X-Wing fighter as close as possible. I was impressed at the level of detail in the model, things such as the proton torpedo cannons, the realistic-looking engines, and the cockpit. Even R2-D2 looks properly scaled to the size of the model!I gave it "4 stars" in durable, because as so many others point out, the fully built model is sort of flimsy, and not very good to "play" with. The motors fall off easily and the wings are too heavy for their width and end up bending a little. However, I gotta give credit where its due: Although some of the pieces of the built model might fall off, but due to the fact that its made out of legos, you know that the bricks themselves will last forever. and everyone knows that building the "box" model in the instruction booklet is not the only thing legos are for! In any case, for... Read more |
