LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker's 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

I was excited to hear that LEGO would release an affordable Luke's 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 would've been a simple thing to include but it isn't a deal-breaker. Build: The build was fun and didn't take too long. 500-ish pieces is the perfect middle ground for someone who wants to immerse themselves in the build but doesn't 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. There's 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 doesn't need to be. This is Luke's 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 R2's head printing was a little off but it isn't noticeable unless you're 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. It's a $50 Luke's 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: It's Luke's 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 absolutely loved building the Luke Skywalker X-Wing! The build was fun and engaging, with great attention to detail throughout. The X-Wing itself looks fantastic once completed, and the movable wings add a really cool touch. The cockpit is detailed, and the R2-D2 figure fits perfectly in his spot. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the whole process smooth. I especially appreciated the quality of the LEGO pieces. Everything snapped together seamlessly and the final product feels sturdy. It's the perfect set for both LEGO fans and Star Wars enthusiasts. This X-Wing looks great on display and it’s definitely a highlight in my collection. Highly recommend!!!

It is as described.

This was my 1st ever LEGO build and am very excited to have completed it. The X-Wing has nice detail and the X-Wings even open and close as well as the cockpit. I thought it would feel flimsy but is very sturdy. You could honestly play with it just as u would with other Star Wars space craft and toys. Building the X-Wing was easier than I thought. I was thinking that id get frusyrated with all the little LEGO parts but it was the exact opposite. Now im anxious for my next build. It also comes with 4 minifigures that u must be imcluded in the box. I'd recommend this for those new to LEGO or even pro builders. The ONLY thing that would have made this better is if it had lights & sounds. Besides that, it's a great LEGO set!!

My nephew had a GREAT time assembling this after we gave it to him for his birthday!

No decisions for me to make!! Quick and Easy Christmas shopping for me at Amazon! I have purchased hundreds of LEGO sets over the past 50 years. LEGOS are "Yesterday's" toys, "Today's" toys, and I will predict "Tomorrow's" toys, for both kids and adults.. LEGOs are STEM toys that develop critical thinking skills in children and provide hours of constructive play. LEGO toys produce the 'thinkers' of tomorrow, who become the scientists and engineers, etc. of our future. Parents/grandparents often sit with kids as they construct together, offering valuable togetherness time, and inspiring kids with new ideas. With eight kids and many more grandkids and friends, LEGO sets are the most requested gift from my loved ones over the years. Sets have been passed down from generation to generation, and still remain in perfect condition. That includes LEGO Duplo blocks for toddlers. (Sometimes I wash and rinse Lego/Duplo blocks in the bathtub in the summer. Then I spread out a clean sheet on the picnic table in the sun for a few hours. Shake the sheet to move around the blocks a few times, and when dry, they look like new.) My grandaughter requested TWO items on her Wish List this year: Another "LEGO Friends" set and a stuffed animal.

Kid loved it. Great instructions. Price is high.

Just put this together the other day. Looks great has all the pieces and didn’t take too long to build. Great for a Star Wars fan.

the kids are really happy about the X-Wings

Muito bom, como é de se esperar sempre de qualquer produto da LEGO!
