Everything is set on a dark grey starry backdrop, another aspect in which this set is the last of its kind.

I don't know if it's because of the rarity of the color, but TLG has made this mistake before, in the podracer power couplings. They follow the same basic pattern as the bottom wings, but since the studs in relation to the center of the gearbox have now changed directions, there's a little adjustment involved. Today's value for a new/sealed X-wing Fighter is estimated around 112 € with a average yearly gain of 4% and is expected to level off closer to 3% soon. TLG got lazy and molded one design for the Y-wing set, and then decided it was fine for this set too.In the original set, those would have come wrapped around a rubber band holder, but those aren't made anymore. We've got the three printed parts; always nice to see those instead of stickers, plus these are pretty useful ones too boot. The neck bracket is indispensable for good SNOT building, and of course, we have the lovely chrome lightsaber hilt. The one thing I want to point out is that TLG has printed the screen from the torpedo targeting display onto the control panel.

You can also tell if you look really close that printing on the torso is a little thicker on the newer one. We also see two bubbles and a line of text at the bottom left, all set on red, declaring the primary features in English and French. I like the way they arranged the minifigs here, with each one related in some way to the minifigs next to it. Furthermore, it makes me feel a little better knowing that there's someone on Eurobricks who acknowledges in a reasonable way that this set has flaws rather than acting like anyone who's not kissing up to LEGO about this is some kind of freak, something that's reflected in others' comments on this set - they sound less like sheep and more like people. As for the TIEs, I believe TIE Fighters were originally meant to be black with blue trim, but it was discovered that the blue trim would be edited out with the blue screen, so it was replaced on the studio model with light grey trim.I believe that X-wings are a very light grey, like T-47s they're between TLG's White and Light Grey/Light Bley shades, so either is acceptable.

You start nice and simple with the prefabricated trans-clear gearbox itself, then add on Technic bricks for the wings to hinge on, and finally bulk it out and add landing supports.

Even though this set was created in 2006, it hasn't been discontinued and is still up for purchase at Toy's R Us. It's got all the necessary elements to be both a great introductory set for the budding your or otherwise new fan, while being something that us older fans and parents recognize as a classic Star Wars ship. Features parts to customize your starfighter as either Luke Skywalker’s™ Red Five or Wedge’s Red Two X-wing! In the hands of the Rebel Alliance’s brave pilots, the X-wing starfighter helped to destroy two massive Death Stars™.The box has a matte finish, but the X-wing and portions of its exhaust are overlaid with a semi-glossy film. With S-foil wings that open to attack position, folding landing gear, a cargo hold and lots of authentic details, this Star Wars set includes the first-ever LEGO minifigure of Rebel hero Wedge Antilles, as well as several hard-to-find characters.
