Why this kit
I always wanted an X Wing but the original Luke's X Wing cost a bomb. That's $199.00 which is equivalent to around RM 800 or a lifetime supply of KFC. When Poe's X Wing kit is launched at $79.00 and I was a bit Lego crazy, I immediately clicked add to cart and checked out.
Kit Details
The Lego Wall-E kit was released in September 2015 as one of many in the Force Awaken series. The box consists of 717 Lego blocks and 1 sticker sheet. This kit is priced at $79.00 which is around RM 333.
Build / Difficulty
The overall build is fairly easy. The moving parts on the wings requires extra attention but nothing too difficult. The manual is also very detailed so there's no reason you can go wrong.
Looks / Details
This kit is big! It's about 14" in length and the wing span adds to its size. It has a cleaner look compared to Luke's X Wing. The colors might not appeal to hardcore 1970/80's star wars fans, but who cares. It's an X Wing and it can be pink and it'll still look good.
Accessories
You'll get 4 mini figures including Poe and BB-8, a ground supply vehicle and bunch of weapon effect parts with spring loaded cannon for play ability.
Articulation / Pose ability
The wings can be folded or opened into attack mode using Lego technics mechanism. Cockpit which can accommodate 1 mini figure can be opened and closed. You can pose this kit in garage mode or in attack mode.
Shelf presence
It's an X Wing. Star wars fans will definitely recognize this. But because of the different color scheme, it's not as iconic.
Summary
Sorry, no rating again. If you're a star wars fans on a budget, this is the kit for you rather than spending almost 3x the price for Luke's X Wing. You can also top up your purchase with the rest of the force awaken series.
