Description

A crew, not just a pilot

The standout number here is the minifigure count. Four figures mean the X-wing arrives with enough characters to set up a proper scene, whether that is a briefing before launch or a hangar full of activity. For children, that removes the need for extra sets before the stories can start. For collectors, it means the ship can be displayed with a small group around it instead of standing alone, which makes a shelf look livelier and gives the model a sense of scale.

The ship itself

The X-wing is the starfighter the Rebels fly against the Death Star in A New Hope, and it remains central to the original trilogy. Its wings open into the famous X for combat, a feature that makes it instantly recognisable even to people who have seen the films only once. This mid-sized model sits between the small quick builds and the larger display versions, so it works both on a desk and in a play box, and it takes up relatively little shelf space.

Inside the parts list

There are 140 distinct part designs among the 560 pieces, which keeps the build varied. White is the main colour, supported by light and dark bluish grey for panelling and technical detail, with tan as an accent. White slopes, plates and tiles are among the most flexible parts you can own, useful for spacecraft, modern buildings and all kinds of bright structures. That makes the set a sensible choice if you want parts that will be reused long after the ship is taken apart.

Using the tools on this page

The full inventory below lists every element with colour and quantity, so you can check a copy or replace a lost piece without guessing. If the set is already on your shelf, the What can I build? feature compares your parts with other sets and highlights the ones you could complete, giving your X-wing bricks a second purpose once you fancy a change. It also tells you how many pieces you would still need for each suggestion, which makes planning a follow-up purchase far easier.
