LEGO Star Wars Poe's X-Wing Fighter 75102 Star Wars Toy

Wow. This set is fabulous. It has a great color scheme and is very accurate compared to The Force Awakens. The accuracy is varied for different reasons. On the bad side, in the film the nose of the fighter comes to a bit more of a point, where as the Lego version is not as pointed. Another feature I would have liked to see a bit more detail inside of the intakes on the wings, but it's fine as is. Another comparison is that on the back of the top wing his fighter is marked by three tally marks, indicating his codename is Black Three, when in reality he is Black Leader. On the good side, Lego stayed VERY accurate to the fighter in the film. They added the little details that count, such as the pin-stripe stickers on the intake on the wings, the fuel port and comm systems on top, symbolized by stickers, the throttle, pipes, and even a yellow brick to symbolize an eject handle in the cockpit area, and the small Lego cog on the rear of the fighter. The playability on this set is fabulous. You can place BB-8 in the droid cockpit(sadly you can't place a regular R2 unit in it). Although he fits well, it would have been nice to see a feature that can lift him off the ground and into the cockpit though. The main cockpit has TREMENDOUS playability. You can place a minifigure in the seat, and you can even place a weapon in a clip behind the seat. I love how you can twist the knob on the top to have the wings extend and you can even hold the fighter by the back and fly it around like that. One feature I don't like about when you hold it by the end is that the rear engines come loose easily when bumped. The landing gear is a nice feature and a classic must for any X-Wing. The Spring-Loaded Shooters on each Wing-Mounted gun is a great feature, as well as the stud shooters below the cockpit, resembling the torpedo launching bay from the classic design. The extras are nice as well. You get a small hover-sled that can have a driver, a passenger, and extra ammunition and tools in the back. You also get a small ladder. I think that this is a pretty neat feature, although it's also an accuracy flaw. In the film the standard Resistance-Type X-Wings have built-in ladders underneath the cockpit. I still like that you get it though. You get 3 mini figures as well as BB-8: Poe Dameron, Resistance Pilot, and Resistance Ground Crew. These are great mini figures and essential to the set in my opinion. All in all, this is a great set. It has a higher price point of $80, and is a bit higher than normal in price-per-brick, but in m opinion, it's well worth it. I'm giving this set a 9/10 rating based on accuracy, playability, and minifigs. If you love Lego Star Wars and you don't already have an X-Wing, this is a must-buy.

Como siempre, llega Lego a sorprendernos con este "Set" de Star Wars, para dejar volar nuestra imaginación y hacernos parte, de alguna manera, de el gran Universo de Star Wars. Horas de entretenimiento al armarlo y muchas horas mas si decides jugarlo... el limite es tu imaginación, siempre con la calidad de Lego...

Another great kit. Oddly, its one of those kits that is still all together on my son's shelf. I love all of the Star Wars sets but this one is rather cool in the odd colours. How can you not give five stars to a Lego set? I'm not sure.

It's been just about 20 years since I built my last Lego set and building this set made me feel like I was 10 again. I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the black and orange color scheme but after watching the movie and seeing Poe's T-70 X-Wing in action I grew fond of it. It took me just a little over 3 hours to build and the entire journey along the way was absolutely delightful. The engineering behind this is 2nd to none! The wings open and close with ease thanks to the sophisticated gear/cam system implemented and the rubber bands. I know most people were complaining about the blue rubber bands sticking out like a sore thumb but it didn't really bother me since the wings open and close with such ease. From a production/manufacturing standpoint, where everything is standardized, the different color rubber bands have their own dimensions and tension rating, so it makes sense if the rubber bands don't always fit the color scheme. The mini-figures are great with BB-8 being my favorite! The only negative aspect to this kit are the 4 engine thrusters in the rear as they have a tendency to become loose and can fall off. Overall this is an amazing set and any Star Wars fan should pick this one up. If you're still not a fan of the black/orange colors then you'll be happy to know Lego will be re-releasing this kit later this year in its white/blue colors as seen in the movie (Lego 75149).

My 3 year old daughter absolutely loved helping me put it together. It wasn't the most challenging build... but the end product is absolutely amazing. I can't recommend it enough. You will not be disappointed!
