This is a typical price for Star Wars sets of this size, but always worth noting that you get more brick for the buck in non-licensed sets. Poe’s X-wing includes 717 pieces, 3 minifigs (plus a droid), and retails for $79.99 in the US. I also always enjoy interior Technic mechanisms, since I’m not much of a Technic builder otherwise and enjoy learning new techniques for working play features. Overall, it was a fun build, with some rather interesting techniques for the nose in particular.

Building the four wings does inevitably get a little repetitive, since the wings alone are two full bags and nearly 40 pages of instructions. Technic axles hold the wings in place, and once all four wings are attached, you wrap rubber bands around the articulated joints. The end of each wing includes a 1×4 flick-fire missile brick, but I’ll come back to that when discussing the finished model.
All four wings are mostly basic plates, slopes, and tiles, with an articulated joint on the rear of each wing to attach rubber bands for the opening/closing mechanism. In Bag 4, we finally get Poe himself, along with BB-8, at which point we begin building the wings. The canopy is gorgeous, and appears to be essentially a miniature version of the canopy in the UCS X-wing sets.

I reported this to LEGO Customer Service, who requested proof of purchase via a code on my instruction booklet, and quickly sent out a replacement. Speaking of the canopy, mine appears to have been mis-molded by a fraction of a centimeter, and the canopy would not close properly. The first stickers show up at step 83 - and yes, all but the X-wing canopy is stickered. We then return to the S-foil mechanism and the remainder of the X-wing’s main hull through the third bag and step 89. The nose cone connects via Technic axle to the end of the Technic core, with a 2×4 tile securing it to the rest of the nose via half-stud offset on a jumper plate attached to the core. The exterior sides of the nose are subtly angled using hinge plates.

The long nose is built around a Technic core, with 1×2 jumper plates attached by Technic half-pins to a series of axle/pin connectors. Things get interesting again after you open the second bag, around step 40, when you start building the X-wing’s nose. Sixteen steps in, you’re already starting to build the Technic mechanism that will enable the S-foils to open and close. You start with the generic Resistance pilot, ground crew staff, and ground crew equipment, followed by the first bit of the X-wing’s main body. Poe’s X-wing comes in 5 numbered bags, with a 120-page instruction booklet. I apologize in advance if I miss any key comparisons with the 2004, 2006, or 2012 redesigns (dark post-Prequel, post-fleshie years in which I had no interest in Star Wars). Nevertheless, I’ll go ahead and bury the actual review below the fold, as I did with yesterday’s review of 75140 Resistance Troop Transporter.įull disclosure: I’ve only ever owned one other System-scale X-wing, the original 7140 X-wing from 1999. Poe Dameron and his T-70 X-wing starfighter have featured prominently in all of the teasers and trailers for the new movie, so there doesn’t seem to be much risk of any spoilers in this set (that, and it’s been out in stores since September).
