LEGO Star Wars 75355 UCS X-WING STARFIGHTER Review! (2023)

The 3rd LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing Starfighter is among us. It's alright. For casual & newer LEGO Star Wars fans it's the perfect time to release the iconic Starfighter however it still has a few flaws and most importantly FALSE ADVERTISING. It's a good value at $240 compared to the 2013 UCS X-Wing and if you can look past some despicable marketing practices/a couple questionable design choices you'll be very happy with this one.

7:26 It isn't illegal because tiles are slightly thinner than regular plates, so it means that there is less pressure on them and a smaller chance of them breaking or bending because of it
Tiago Catarino made a pretty good video about it

[jims]

They need to give the dual molded helmets another go, just make them smaller and sleeker like the resistance helmets that were done perfectly

[BirdBathBricks]

Should have just included a white X because that’s all people remember seeing in the movies 😂

[filmezki]

I love it. The very nature of LEGO bricks will always lead to some minor inconsistencies in terms of scale but the one thing that is truly inexcusable is the fact that they photoshopped the information plaque to hide that point in the center.

[CalebTheCollector]

They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this Luke! The only downsides to this set are that dimple in the plaque, and it would have looked better if they used a larger dome piece for R2

[fritz]

Overall this is a solid build at a solid price point, I don't like the non scaled r2-d2 and I'm not the biggest fan of the box art (even if it's a reference to the original UCS x wing) I probably won't pick this one up though.

[dauvyde]

I must say the quality of that review was ON POINT. the pace was perfect, audio was crisp and clean, your critics were valid and you also highlighted what was good. Good work Ryan

[HunnerBunnerGo]

My old babysitter had the old one and after seeing this new one, it really makes me want to get one. They had all sorts of massive Star Wars Lego sets it was insane to see when I was little.

[CPurdiePlays]

I had a missing piece in my UCS Slave 1. LEGO was quick to send me a replacement. Their support is some of the best I've ever experienced.

[Mr_Game-and-Watch]

Not saying it’s terrible but it feels like a very good prototype. I Think lego could of very easily ironed out the small creases in this set that look off

[LeonardoNicolasNiqqo]

0:06 they missed the oportunity to make it 1977 pieces

[STARGATEATLANTISFAN]

Few things Ryan. In terms of the x wing being white at the tip, remember we are seeing a Lego designers version of a studio model. That studio model would have had weathering particularly on the tip that would give the illusion of it being a different colour. However it is supposed to be the same colour if it were fresh off the factory floor and considering lego can’t do weathering on pieces very well they made a design decision for white.

[Tarack]

Still think the 2018 play scale X-wing is the best they've ever done. (with a few minor modifications it's an incredible display model)

[DRMUMBORAWR]

‘Employees should be fired’ relax mannnn

[MajesticPotato]

I thought the plate-between-studs technique was illegal too, until I saw it used to make the stone cutter in the Minecraft crafting box 3.0 a couple of years ago

[little.wookiee]

The tiles are slightly thinner then plates causing the plate to not bend. Amazing video, keep it up!!

[supergamer]

0:55 was to explain how and where to hold the build/pick it up as to not pick it up from an angle where pieces could come off or have it accidentally dropped.

[MajDuty]

Regarding that missing piece, I've assembled around 100 Lego kits and have experienced a missing piece only one time and it was a similar situation as with MandR where there is an extra unneeded piece and a missing piece.

I'm certain they use weighing machines to help count their pieces, which explains why we get an extra piece in place of a missing one because if the kits were simply missing a piece, the scale would reveal that.

Point is if you are simply missing a piece and don't have an extra piece, it's most likely you're missing pieces under your couch

[calvinsallee]

1:15 you know what's funny? You say you never see missing pieces but man, it's litterally every other lego set in the last year I've gotten that's been missing a piece or two. Super frusterating when you don't have a plethora of extra lego pieces to replace it quickly.

[johnathanmoyer]

7:20 IIRC, Plates between studs is illegal, but tiles between studs is okay, since there are no extra studs to interfere with a flush connection.
