X-wing Starfighter Reviews
“I'm quite happy with this set overall: good build, decent figures, and playability is not bad – it's always super fun to fly an X-wing around. However, the price is unfortunately very high, and while this is a quality set, I feel that the price of LEGO X-wings is getting out... More of hand and this is no exception. It's really a shame as this is otherwise a very high quality set. Wait for a decent discount, then buy.”

“75218 X-wing Starfighter is definitely the best minifigure-scale rendition of an X-wing that LEGO has produced. Its fuselage looks great when compared with the source material and I love the bright light yellow highlights which provide a brilliant splash of colour to the... More vehicle. Furthermore, the minifigures are excellent, although another pilot and their respective Astromech droid would have been welcome.”

“5218 X-wing Starfighter is an excellent LEGO X-wing. The X-wing itself is beautifully designed, with excellent S-foil functionality, even if we think the starfighter could have been amazing by incorporating features from Mike Psiaki’s version built when he was a regular LEGO... More fan. New Rebel pilot helmets, hard-to-find flight suits, and an updated version of fan-favorite Biggs Darklighter also make the set a key purchase for minifig collectors.”
