PROS: (1) Amazing attention to detail. (2) Well-engineered and integrated mechanics to openand close the X-wings. (3) Easy-to-understand instructions. (4) Model standwith boilerplate included (nice touch.)
CONS: (1) Cockpit window has beentroublesome in staying shut when closing. I had to use some workarounds tofix it. (2) Opening/closing mechanisms are difficult to adjust if not donecorrectly the first time. There's an issue with the weight of the wingswith proper gear alignment.(3) Engines are structurally weak. It brokeoff on occasion, particularly travelling beyond light speed... testdriving...you know...ah hem! I remedied the situation by supergluing theengine down.
NOTE: I am quite impressed with the engineers at LEGO increating a close replica of the X-wing while maintaining the LEGO feel.Sure makes the age 7-12 X-wing fighter quite small. This model has awingspan of 16" and a length of19". Wow! The inclusion of amodel stand is a nice touch. Makes me want to superglue the whole darnthing down. It is a bit on the delicate side.
I also purchased theUltimate Collector Tie Interceptor, which I must say is mechanicallyless-intensive than the X-wing but equally impressive.Both are close toscale in relations to each other.
I hope to see more from this series. Ido not regret my purchase.

Product Description:
Patience, patience. The 1,304-piece LEGO X-Wing Fighter set is a serious investment in time, but the finished product is breathtakingly cool. Eighteen inches long, 13 inches tall, and 8 inches wide, the finely detailed model includes hinged wings and an R2 astromech droid figure for added realism. Once you've completed the model (the visual instructions are fairly easy to follow), set it on the black plastic base with product details from the Incom Corporation. The Empire will crumble soon!
