The starfighter itself is beautiful, and measures almost thirteen inches, which makes it longer than in looks in pictures. The wing mechanism works great, and it has good "swoosh-ability" and playability. I think the only thing negative I would say about it is that the spring-loaded shooters are only on the bottom wings. Not a big deal, just a personal preference. Overall, this is a big 9.
The Death Star is going down! Play Experience. Level of Difficulty. Build Time: 1 hrs 40 mins. Was this helpful? January 28th, Absolutely phenomenal! Purchased for: Son. My son has built the cabin, it was a little challenging for him in a few places, where many of the pieces look similar but for the most part he was able to follow the instructions and build on his own.
I built the engine, props and wings. The wings deploys with a push of a little button on top into the shape of an X - I absolutely love it. The are 2 blasters that shoot lasers when you lift them up a little, they need to be loaded in a certain direction to work correctly. The little R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker are piloting the x-wing, the whole thing looks absolutely awesome! It took us about 2 hours to put this together. When following the assembly instruction it goes pretty straightforward.
I'm glad there's step by step hardcopy instruction - not just QR code to the pdf. I have read some reviews as some people complains about some inaccuracy in details, but in my opinion, the details are just incredible. Everything else is superb, once we built it, I done a few photos to show you how incredible it looks. I attached a few photos to show how good it looks with some proper background. Build Time: 2 hrs. May 3rd, Average rating4out of 5 stars. Super fun to build!
My husband and I bought this x-wing and we were really excited to build it together. We had a LOT of fun and felt so proud with the end result! January 26th, Good value. Purchased for: Son.

This is my first X Wing. The build was pretty straightforward. Price was pretty good for this build. I eventually left the stickers off that part. My son absolutely loves it. This set actually is right in the middle in terms of cost but not giving up too much so u can still put it on display and play with your younger kids. Can it be better, sure. But to me Lego did a pretty good job on this X Wing. I give it an -A. Shop more like this:.
We used a couple of 1x4 Technic bricks and some 1x4 plates to space everything. You might need to use a different amount of plates. Use two 1x6 or 1x8 plates to create a small platform for the Robotics Board to sit on. We need to do this since the board won't sit flush on the base plate.
Make sure you're using Nylon Conductive Tape as regular tape will break as the wings move. Don't cover up the spots where the supports that go from the X-Wing to your Base go. Since Conductive Tape is not reliably conductive on the bottom you'll want to fold over the end that connects to the LED Tape. Then tape that down with another piece of Tape. We just cut really long lines of tape and left them hanging while we set the X-Wing on the base.
After that we connected everything. The Diagram at the start of the guide is a good reference to show you how to wire up the Range Finder. Online documentation for this board is weird. Trust us, this is the correct wiring. We grabbed our sound clip via a YouTube Video. You can use any sound file as long as it's a. WAV or. We can't give you a sound clip for Copyright reasons. You'll want to use just one sound clip for our code.
Make sure you take note as to how long your clip is, as it will be quite helpful when modifying the code. If you've never used our Robotics Board before you'll need to read the user guide and install the right software and drivers.
You'll also need to grab and install the NewPing library as well. Open up your Arduino software and copy our code into a new project window. We find that ms is about right. You can change the time by changing those values. Line 91 controls how long the Servo pauses to wait for your audio clip. Our Sound Clip is about 25 seconds so we have it set to MS.
The code has the LEDs come on once the wings open, then turn off once they're closed. Attach some Speakers to the MP3 Player and run the code. Powered Speakers with some Volume Control work best. You'll most likely have to modify your code several times to get the timing correct.
You'll also most likely have to go back and modify your gearbox or servo holding areas. The strain may push things apart on you, so modify where necessary. Cancel: I did not complete this guide. Shop Crazy Circuits Contact.

Another drastic colour change from the original X-wing design leaves this spacecraft looking blue, literally!
The major adjustment to the base model of this X-wing is the removable hyperdrive located near the rear of the craft. Instead of another Utility Vehicle, a collapsible moisture evaporator where flames pop up when it goes down is included. Poe and Lor San Tekka have double-sided heads to display different emotions, and the Flametrooper comes with a rifle that has Lego flames that come out of it. This is another creative build from the new era of Star Wars Lego sets, and it will have you burning with excitement to assemble it.
This instalment in the X-wing series released in August of includes the most features and goodies along with it. LEGO pays homage to the original X-wing model design by returning to the traditional grey and red colour scheme. They also included 3 familiar mini-figures from the original model as well with 1 new mini-figure to add to the set.
The added features to this X-wing are huge and include a new lever system to adjust the wings into attack mode, a fire extinguisher behind the cockpit seat, and stud shooters on the side of the craft. A cockpit that opens and retractable landing gear is now standard with all recent X-wings and this trend will continue for all new sets.
The 3 familiar mini-figures in this set are Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and Biggs Darklighter with the new addition to the crew being another droid named R2-Q2. A set designed for ages 4 and up you can understand why this X-Wing is pretty basic looking. Like many of the sets made in the Juniors line this set comes with the ship itself as well as a mini build, in this case a gun turret or cannon from the Death Star Trench run. The set has pieces but does include 3 minifigures.
This X-Wing has larger engines which split when the wings are open. It makes for a different build than you may be used to utilising different types of bricks. The slot for the droid can fit an R2 unit or a ball-shaped droid such as BB Also included are both spring-loaded missiles and stud shooters for that extra battle experience. The set includes a printed cockpit but also makes use of sticker. Very similar to the Juniors X-wing, this set is designed for the younger Star Wars fan. The set has 60 pieces and looks very basic.
Although this particular X-Wing Fighter is smaller than previous standard sets its still a great looking model and fun build. With just pieces it could be described as a more basic build but still manages to include all the main features of previous sets.
The X-wing features an opening cockpit with room for one minifigure, space for R2-D2, wings that can be switched to attack position, retractable landing gear and 2 spring-loaded shooters. We have finished this detailed review of all the X-wing LEGO sets and it is time to hand out the awards and make our recommendations. The Red Five X-wing Starfighter hands down wins the award for most detailed with pieces and the colour issue being resolved from the previous UCS set.
This set includes the unique Luke Skywalker mini-figure in his Dagobah Jedi training uniform. This model has all the sharp looks and cool features of the most recent LEGO sets with recognisable and fun characters from the new Star Wars movies. I had the first one and I loved it.
It fell apart in a move and I unfortunately lost some of the pieces, but what I do have left, my kids throughly enjoy, especially the droids. They love Star Wars almost as much as I do. Does anyone have the number for the red xwing with a tandom cockpit back to back from around ?
I have the X-Wing and I can tell you this is the best description of it. Can we see an update for the new one? I might add it though!
Major Version M. Time Required. They're well designed, fun to build, and look great. What would make them even more fun is if they also moved on their own! Even better, we added sound effects and lighting effects! But if that isn't enough we also added a motion sensor so that it would activate when someone walks by.
Overall this project isn't overly difficult to do, but does take awhile and requires a healthy amount of random Technic LEGO parts to built the gear box area. They're the same model just different colors. Remove more X-Wing parts if you need to. Rebuild the entire bottom of your X-Wing. Refer to the box and original directions. If you pull the axel out you'll have to take apart the bottom all over again. We described the order in which our final build used, which required us changing a couple things after we had originally taken photographs.
Use a large LEGO plate of some kind as your base. You'll need one with room for the gears on the back. We used some tall 1x2x5 bricks to make supports. You can use whatever you want provided that it gives enough clearance for the wings and Servo. We used a Gearbox for Worm Gear to translate motion from the Servo to the large gear.
You'll need to build your own setup based on whatever LEGOs you have available. You'll most likely have to fiddle around with everything to get your spacing correct. Use our pictures as a guide. We added some 1x4 Technic bricks for the end of our size 12 Axel from the X-Wing to go into.
Attach those to the Axel. This can be annoying. If everything doesn't line up, try again. Take it slow and easy. We're using a 9G Continuous Rotation Servo with some laser cut acrylic adaptors. We include those in our kits, but we also have those files available for download. We used a couple of 1x4 Technic bricks and some 1x4 plates to space everything.
