LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter Building Set 75355

From the thousands of bricks i put together , worst set i've ever built. The look is average and the building is a very mediocre with the occasional 'horrible' experience. Didn't even finish the set and i doubt i will finish it myself. Terrible design, wonder how the designers even want to show their faces in the book.

I hold Lego to the highest level of quality when it comes to their sets and that's why it's always on the more expensive side and I'm okay with it because the quality is always top tier but this one is a low for Lego and out of the hundreds of sets I've built this one was by far the most difficult and frustrating one to build. It's too delicate and the exterior is not at all structurally sound, trying to attach the wings properly without having anything to hold because if I did it would easily fall off was not an enjoyable time and every time I'd try and fix one problem another would just fall apart making the repetitive process even longer. The good thing about this set is now it's finished it does look very good on display but I wouldn't dare touch it ever again

I hated this build so much and gave up halfway through. By far the worst part of it is the horribly designed side panels. The panels themselves fall apart and are almost impossible to attach to the body once assembled. Two flimsy anchor points will detach constantly if you even breathe on it. Never buy this until they fix the build out of the box.

Absolutely love this as my first UCS set, but I will say the build was very frustrating to handle at times. The side paneling of the main body only is held by a few attachment points per handle, so if you happen to push too hard on a brick, the whole panel starts to fall off. However, still love the finished model.

This was a really fun build. Can't wait for the next big scale model.

In this set it was going great till i got to bag 3 and I was building a side panel and i got a grey 8 stud flat piece instead of the 6 stud flat piece. I looked everywhere for it and no where. I am not going to put on the 8 stud flat piece b/c it would make the X-Wing not pretty. The body of the X- Wing on its side kept falling off connecting to the 2 clips on the left side when looking at the X-wing. It is not stable. It needs more pieces to be stable. I also already had a missing piece in Darth Mauls sith infiltrator and I was already pretty upset that i now have 2 sets with missing pieces. Some things of this set kept falling off whenever i needed to lift up the X-wing. Like for example when i needed to place it on the stand. Some panels fell off and it kept making me angry. Speaking of the stand, on the stand near the top middle-ish there is 2 little circle pieces resting underneath the X-wing, my bags did not have the two circle pieces. So i had to rearrange with two different circle pieces that go on the shooters of the wing instead, (pictures will help know what I’m talking about). But after stress being removed I finally built it and it looks amazing. Especially next to my UCS Falcon. I have never once in my 13-14 years of building legos, experienced a set with missing pieces, (I’m 19). Maybe you reading this will get a different better experience, it kinda felt like I had a used purchase UCS X wing instead of a new one considering with all the missing pieces i had in this one. Enjoy your day!

I really don't understand the negative reviews on this set. People talking about it being flimsy and falling apart during the build process? This build was a lot of fun and went together well with zero issues. It's not a play set, it's a display model. If you want to play with it, then buy the mash up set. Good job Lego for putting out another awesome UCS set.

I hate writing bad reviews, but the design on this X-Wing is pretty rough. The sides of the main body are held to the main central piece by two small pieces that pop off whenever you try and install sections around it. It added a great deal of time and frustration to building. The wings are pretty flimsy in areas, but that isn't the overall concern. It is kind of a bad design and I wish that there were more stability because I can't display it without pieces falling off as I set it up. For the price I had hoped it would be more stable like the A-Wing or Daily Bugle.

I decided to splurge on myself by purchasing this set for May the 4th and unfortunately it has been extremely disappointing. The terrible reviews you see are there for a reason. I received my set rather quickly. I opened up the first bag and there’s were pieces missing. Not one or two, but 43 pieces that were not in the first bag of many. Given the price of this set I find it ridiculous for there to be so many pieces missing. And frankly, even with LEGO offering to send every missing piece it’s frustrating. What guarantee do I have that every single bag is not missing a bunch of pieces. Do I have to contact LEGO every day when I find pieces missing? I’m being sent a new set but Lego definitely needs more quality control, especially for the prices we are paying. Think twice, thrice, or 100 times and think if you want to take the gamble. I took it and found disappointment.

Once you get it together and have a permanent spot to put it, it's OK. But if you have to relocate it, that's when pieces start to fall off. You can't potion the wings very well, I think if the rubber bands were a bit stronger that would resolve the issue. For the price you shouldn't have to.

This looks cool and the size is great, however BEWARE this set is SUPER flimsy. Once built don't ever touch it again. The nose panels and the body panels are barely being held on. You can not pick this model up without something falling off of it, seriously there is NO good place to pick this model up from. This is super delicate! I built mine and immediately put it in a plexiglass display (like all my other builds). I had to move the display and basically every panel popped off. I know you can say it's me not the set, but having built Death Star, Hulkbuster, Titanic, Slave 1, Millennium falcon (table top one) etc... NO other set is anywhere like this one. Bad design. Buy something else

I purchased this set when it was released in 2023 and enjoyed building it a lot! However, some of the dimensions felt off such as the short wings and the very wide and flat nose section. Still, it is the best looking X-Wing available from LEGO. Fast forward to about a year later… the wing mechanism kept getting stuck, the stand was bending, the side panels are a bit too fragile and, probably worst of all, the single technic bricks holding each one of the wings had warped due to the weight of them, making them look very crooked. Thankfully, others have come up with fixes and modifications that can be found online such as Ron McPhatty and GotB. For anyone frustrated with this set I can warmly recommend checking them out. I’m super happy with my X-Wing UCS!

Purchased this set earlier this year and I have to say I was really really disappointed. Firstly, I had a ton of missing pieces, therefore I was unable to complete the side panels (which are so flimsy it's not even funny) secondly, the build..oh my word it's not fun at all, it is so flimsy it literally falls apart when you pick it up and assemble. The wings only stay in one postion as they are so heavy they are weighed down. And then it got broke in which a few pieces sheered and therefore was unable to rebuild. I have never ever been so annoyed with a set, I've binned it and this has put me off buying future UCS sets. I wish I rewd reviews before shelling put for this.

First of all, this set completely lacks any technic, when I was building the wings, the internal parts of the set started breaking due to the lack of sturdiness. Not to mention, the color of the nose is completely off and I encountered at least 3 missing pieces. The set itself doesn't even look that good the stand keeps breaking. I have built the Tie Interceptor UCS and the Republic Gunship UCS before and have never encountered any building problems. I am extremely disappointed, to say the least.

I had such a frustrating time building this. as it sits on my shelf at the moment i won't even touch it at all as the slightest movement will cause it to fall apart. the wings are not properly supported so they droop and the side panels on the rear are not stable at all. it constantly falls apart, very disappointed.

The look of the model is great but the build was frustrating. Most of the fuselage panels are only held by a couple of hinged studs which are prone to disconnect and any attempt to fix usually causes another section to fall off.

Don’t understand all the hate for this set and the 3.1 stars! This really is a nice set to have for the collection, the overall aesthetic of it is awesome and I’m glad I have it. This is my first UCS set, the experience definitely meets the standards in my books. Only problem I had was with the build, the technic mechanism that allows the wings to open and close was a bit difficult for me. Besides that, I’m glad I have this iconic starfighter.

Bought this set as a gift for my son. He love it!!!

Overall, this was probably my least favorite set I've built due to the how flimsy various parts are and how fragile this is. My biggest complaint is the side panels around the body and cockpit. The larger pair of the two repeatedly broke while attempting to place them on the body and the two anchor points definitely don't feel sturdy enough. The wing mechanism also feels extremely under built for the weight of the wings and is easy to go past the stopping point which required disassembly to fix. Small complaint but the gun barrels have a gap between the white and blue spacers because the rods are too long. This was also the first set in my life that had missing parts. This set was nerve wracking the entire build due to how fragile it is and manipulating various parts into place made it feel like the entire thing would fall apart. Once the set it complete it will only be good as a display piece that I'm afraid to move around unfortunately.

I was very excited about this purchase. It was a reward for me. The detail is very good! What is not good is the very minimal and poor connections for the long side pieces. There are several opportunities for connections but none were taken. These side pieces will almost fall off if you look at them too hard. LOL! I have constructed several Lego sets and this is such a disappointment. If you want this set just understand that it is to look at only. I moved it a few times and parts fell off during two of the moves, and I am very careful! Had I known what I know now I would have passed this one up!
