I love this thing that Lego is trying to do now. they know that their lego sets have been becoming more and more expensive, and they have found that the best solution to this problem is to make these lower priced sets. I myself like to call these "value sets" because their price allows lower income families to be able to afford a lego set that is comparable to that of the more expensive sets in the past. Sure they're not as rich in detail and piece count as the other ones, and some components work different ly due to the lower piece count and design, but I think that this was a reasonable balance of both what you pay for and what you get. Lego also had to take into account that, since unemployment is skyrocketing, and covid has struck down our economy, Lego has done something remarkable to acknowledge these problems, and still allow families to continue to buy their products. I applaud you Lego, keep up the good work!

Looks like most of that price tag is focused in the new engineering for the s-foils. I'm liking the direction Lego is heading in leaving the rubber bands in the past but we collectors seriously need a more screen accurate build in future. I'm wondering if it would be possible to mod the 2018 set with this model's gears.....

We've got a really smooth s-foil play feature without the need of rubberbands, a lever, or dial thingy but at the cost of bad landing gear

He's on me tight. I can't shake him!

I got this for Xmas, and I really love it. There's a couple of easy improvements you can make to the set - if you remove the two 2x1 single stud plates that Artoo stands on in the droid socket, it instantly lowers Artoo a good bit behind the cockpit and looks much better, without significantly impeding the ability to remove him. I'm also adding a couple of extra shooters to the upper wings, so all four wings have a firing weapon, and I've added a curved underside piece to the nose, to clean up the lines there. Looks lovely. But I need to do something about the front landing gear - it's just too loose. The other mod I'm planning on, is adding some pieces to the plates the make up the sides of the X-Wing behind the cockpit and on the engine block, to better give that slightly hexagonal shape the X-Wing's hull has. Not sure if I'll use some slopes or curved slopes - possibly a mixture of the two, but I think it'll greatly improve the look.

I would get this for General Dodanna & Princess Leia. Great review, I was considering of getting this but I'm not completely sold on it. Putting the price aside, the build feel like its between the junior set and the regular x-wing. The engine looks very chunky, and the S-foils just feels incomplete, and the thrusters seems to come off easily. And R2 sits too high, the the landing gear doesn’t fold.

I really like this x wing because it would be my first x wing. Ps you inspired my name I will try to upload LEGO reviews like you soon!

Buying 2 tie fighters with the sith trooper battle pack or a tie dagger with the tie fighter and the sith trooper battlepack

A simple mod I thought of was to stack a 2by4 brick with 2 2by2 tile on each side then put the r2d2 head in the center and maybe put a few 2x4 plates underneath the brick to make it slightly taller so r2 doesn’t stick out as much

Honeslty going into this I was expecting this wave to be disappointing. But since it holds such a great value. I feel like the new Tie, X-wing, and Imperial shuttle are going to be great sets for aspiring collectors just starting their collections. Or even fans who haven’t had the money to but some of the more expensive ones since Covid has hit. Overall I think of lego can balance the More premium sets and the more cost friendly ones. Lego will continue to hold their fans. I’m very exited to see where the future leads with these

Dude ur work is awesome

This xwing (75301) is the closes-to-minifig-scale xwing that LEGO has ever made (at least lengthwise). It’s a tad too big. But still the closest. I just wish the wings could lock in to place better.

R2-D2 stuck out that much in the x-wing within the movies, I’m glad that they did it differently this time so it would be more accurate.

Seeing how most of these original trilogy sets have a return of the Jedi box art, I think it would’ve been cool to see maybe see Wedge Antilles’ X wing or something like that instead of another Luke’s X-Wing

“In general” I see what you did there

Some quick thoughts on this set - despite being lacking in detail compared to the 2018 set, it's actually closer to the correct proportions if this matters. The engines for instance are too large and stubby on the previous X-Wing, and the from extends too far. In fact by scale, the 2021 model actually is more scaled properly to the minifigs as well. The top rear deck is also more easily modded to look correct on the 2021 version. The distance of course is wrong for the cannons on both models, and quite a few good videos exist on mods, but one easy one - R2 is held in with two 1x2 jumpers which just removing and attaching him down directly lowers his height more than you would think, and use eight 1x1 dark gray flat panel bricks to stick in the engine inlets to get detail, and its pretty good as is. I'd also attach one white 2x4 or 2x5 flat white panel on the area just in front of the cockpit. Removing two parts, adding nine for next to nothing it already looks better. The minifig's obviously are superior to the 2018 model, especially for $50. LEGO seems to be taking a very smart tack: make cheaper sets inspired by the Slave 1 from Cloud City for size, then let fans who have the desire add some parts for modding out of their stash, and if just casual buyers, it will be enough as-is. I plan to pair this set (modded) with the Yoda's hut from a few years back.

Honestly so far these sets are pretty good. The only down side was the choice of the sets over clone wars/prequel ships
