LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalkers X-Wing Fighter 75301 Building Toy Set - Princess Leia Minifigure, R2-D2 Droid Figure, Jedi Spaceship from The Classic Trilogy Movies, Great Gift for Kids, Boys, Girls

This Lego kit was exactly as expected. It was fun to assemble as a family.

I was excited to hear that LEGO would release an affordable Lukes X-Wing set. The Sequel Trilogy X-Wings were a little too expensive for my taste but this set lets you battle the Empire on a budget. Design: LEGO makes great use of the parts to create a streamlined version of the Rebel X-Wing. The wings could be a little sturdier but that would require more pieces, resulting in a higher price point. My only real complaint is that LEGO advertises retractable landing gear and it is absolutely not retractable. It wouldve been a simple thing to include but it isnt a deal-breaker. Build: The build was fun and didnt take too long. 500-ish pieces is the perfect middle ground for someone who wants to immerse themselves in the build but doesnt have 5+ hours to dedicate. This would be a great set for a parent/guardian and child to build together. There are really simple moments that I found myself breezing through, but the mechanism that allows the fighter to transition from cruise to attack mode (where the wings form an X) was a beast and required some real concentration. There were some stickers, which is to be expected, but not enough to make the process unenjoyable. It took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the set from unboxing to swooshing. Playability: The starfighter is relatively swooshable and easy to hang onto. Switching from cruise to attack mode is a breeze and can be done with one finger while swooshing the set around. The Rebel fighter features two spring-loaded shooters that are ready to take down any LEGO TIE Fighters that might show up. And an extra red projectile is included. Theres also, as always, a spot for R2-D2 to ride along. Aside from the spring shooters and X wing formation, there is not much else to this set. But there doesnt need to be. This is Lukes X-Wing and, if you are any kind of fan of the Original Trilogy, it will push all the right buttons. Display: The set looks great on my shelf. The only downfall is that the fighter cannot be displayed in its attack/X formation without the assistance of a few extra pieces but that is true to canon as an X-Wing is, as far as I know, unable to land in attack position. Minifigs: We get three minifigs and our trusty droid, R2-D2. Luke, Leia and the set-exclusive General Dodonna all look good, although R2s head printing was a little off but it isnt noticeable unless youre looking really closely. Luke comes with a blue lightsaber including a shiny silver hilt and Leia and the General both sport blasters. Value: The average price-per-piece for this set is 10.5 cents which is very good for a licensed set. There are no side builds or bonus material but what we get is very good. Its a $50 Lukes X-Wing, something that fans have been wanting for a long time. After ordering the set, putting it together and flying it from my living room up to my bedroom, I can say that this is a near-perfect set for a LEGO enthusiast who wants a fun, enjoyable build experience without having to take out a second mortgage. Well worth the $50 price point. Final Thoughts: Its Lukes X-Wing. If you know, you know. Great, affordable set, really fun and interesting build and decent (including one exclusive) minifigs. If you want more than that, then the Force may not be as strong with you as you thought.

I added this to my set of the Millennium Falcon #75192, Imperial Shuttle #75302 and Tie Fighter #75300 and it is an awesome addition. It is well constructed and was fun to build. It is sturdy which is nice when moving it around. The only thing I wish is that you could keep the wings open when it was sitting on a surface, you could prop them with something, but right now the way it is when it is on a flat surface the wings will be closed. Overall it was a great build and Im happy to have added it to my set.

Christmas gift for a grown up Star Wars fan. Hoping hell have a good time with it. Will likely buy him the light set after the holidays.
