LEGO Star Wars: Mini X-Wing Starfighter (Dark Packaging) Set 30051 (Bagged)

Product Information

On the other hand, my biggest issue with the model is how it feels, whether you’re picking it up to admire it or simply to relocate it to another spot. While they lack the size and intricacy of larger sets, they capture the essence and key features of the original designs using a minimal number of pieces. This model features gear-operated folding wings, opening cockpit with space for one pilot, space for an astromech droid, and a stand for display.

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. With a small dedicated team of LEGO fans serving your needs, we're sure you wont find a better or more friendly service anywhere else online. This is where you will find any My Little Pony, Monster High, Barbie or Polly Pocket items that we may have in from time to time.Help us help them to achieve their goals, as every sale increases the scope of what we are able to do with the next build. There’s also gaps between the center bodywork and the engines, but this space is needed for the engines to open up, so it’s trickier to get rid of. The deflector shield generator is represented by a 3×3 Technic knob; this is also what activates “attack mode” for the wings. The four engine thrusters have a relatively simple construction but look excellent, using the underside of plates to add texture. Collect all four sets — 4484, 4485, 4486, and 4487 — and get the pieces needed to build a special TIE Bomber” mini-model.

Hopefully the designers can find a remedy for it, but all these issues don’t feel great in a premium model like this. This is probably one of my least favourite parts of the model, as the shaping looks very disjointed instead of looking like one complete section. Still I'd pick the RAS over this one anytime - mostly because we've seen so many X-wing minis during the past 10+ years of LEGO Star Wars. Luke is a brand new minifigure and is the definitive version of Luke in his orange pilot suit so far, featuring detailed arm prints and dual-moulded legs!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.

Embark on mini Star Wars adventures with this fun Resistance X-Wing Fighter microfighter collectible, featuring foldable wings and space to seat the included Resistance X-Wing Pilot minifigure with blaster pistol. It’s been ten years since the last Ultimate Collector’s Series version of the X-wing, so it’s not surprising to see a new LEGO version in 2023.You can open it up to see the inside, which has the pilot’s chair, joystick, and the targeting computer.

Fortunately, it’s well-finished by the designers – there’s no random colours anywhere, and the plates generally follow the shape of the bodywork quite smoothly. Annoyingly, the two curved slopes that are meant to act as supports do not have enough clutch power, and pop off every few minutes when the X-wing is on the stand. The flash suppressors on the end are built using minifigure flippers in white, while the cannon itself uses an antenna piece. you can't expect much more, especially in the Star Wars line, again you are paying for the design as well as the handful of parts.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. As a town/CITY collector this set gives me easy access to parts and color that I dont usually have or can't easily acquire.
