Description

More figures than usual

What sets 6212 apart is its cast. Six minifigures is a lot for a single starfighter of 437 pieces, and it gives you far more to play with than a pilot alone. You can stage a pre-flight briefing, a busy hangar or the celebration after a successful mission. Children who like to act out scenes get a ready-made group of characters, and figure collectors get good value relative to the size of the model. It is a set that encourages storytelling as much as building.

An icon of the saga

The X-wing takes its name from the four wings that split into an X for combat. It is the Rebel Alliance's frontline fighter, and it is at the centre of the trench run in A New Hope, when Luke Skywalker fires the shot that destroys the Death Star. The ship reappears throughout the original trilogy and beyond. For many collectors it is one of the first Star Wars models they want, and it remains a staple of the theme.

The palette

White leads the colour list, followed by light bluish grey, red and dark bluish grey. The red recalls the squadron markings of the ships in the Death Star attack. With 128 different part designs among its pieces, the build offers plenty of variety without being fiddly. Afterwards, the white elements are especially useful, as they suit houses, vehicles, snowy scenes and space bases alike, while the red adds accents to almost any project.

Inventory and next steps

The full parts list for set 6212 appears below, arranged by colour and quantity. It helps when checking a used copy or replacing a part that has disappeared. If the X-wing is already in your collection, the What can I build? tool compares your parts with other sets and shows which ones you could build, with a list of anything still missing. The six minifigures will not mind a change of scenery, and neither will the white and red bricks.
