About this deal

There’s no sponsor this week, and with sponsorships lasting a whole week, you can get plenty of exposure for mere pennies. Sure, some of the droopiness is understandable given how big this thing is, but it wouldn’t look so bad if the wings were actually closed together properly! It’s significantly out of scale though which throws off the look of the model – I’d have preferred if the designers included a printed 3×3 dome instead. The box was complete with all the decoration seen on the various 20th Anniversary Star Wars sets, a set number of 40519 (the event's date written in typical, local formatting) and the set name "World's Largest LEGO Star Wars Unboxing". UCS X-Wing Starfighter will be released on 1 May 2023 for LEGO VIPs, and will be part of the massive 2023 LEGO Star Wars Day campaign, which will net you 2x VIP Points, and a whole raft of Star Wars-related GWPs.

Build [4] – The aesthetics of the design are immaculate, replicating the shaping of an X-wing well (apart from the nose), but the slight wobbliness prevalent throughout the model is annoying.

I must say TLG did a good job on the wings and the thrusters for this mini, it really looks accurate. The stand is built at an angle thanks to some simple geometry, allowing you to display the X-wing in a more dynamic pose.I bring this up because the top set of wings have a 1×2 dark red grille tiles but they are absent on the bottom set. The UK version which was given away in a promotion has a different polybag design to that released in the US. Almost immediately from that point on The X-wing was immensely popular among fans and the fighter is now one of the most recognizable spaceships of all time.

The girls toy aisles aren't our regular ball park but we occasionally like to try something different to our norm.I've been looking for these sets, and I had thought about doing a review when I got them, but you've taken care of it for me already. The Rebels rely on the X-wing fighter” — and this one has functioning wings that open and close for greater maneuverability in space. This build is a mini-scale model of the 16:1 scale X-Wing Fighter constructed during the same event. The back of the X-wing is one of my favorite angles of the starfighter, and it looks equally splendid here – as if it was ripped off the screen.

The LEGO Star Wars Mini Building Set theme consists of smaller-scale sets within the broader LEGO Star Wars line.The wings themselves are connected on opposite ends (top left with bottom right, top right with bottom left), and rely on each other’s weights to counterbalance themselves. Playability: 10/10 It's a great little ship to swoosh, you can adjust the wings, and it looks great. I still have my 7191 UCS x-wing set from the year 2000, which sounds like it’s a much sturdier version than the new one.

The super-sized build was comprised of 83,442 parts with brick-built, super-sized elements retrieved from an equally super-sized "box". The side panels are angled in two directions and taper towards the nose, using some clever build techniques to get the shaping right. I picked up the last three at my areas Target, and after opening up one of them and putting it together, I realized I can finally live my life's dream of putting it together in the bag.The wings also have some light grey sub-builds on the back, but the 2×3 Nexo shield tile is prone to falling off as it’s attached with just one stud. Total: 44/50 It's a mini and should be reviewed as one, of course you aren't getting any minifig's, and the piece count is going to be low.
