  • LEGO Star Wars has released another Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter for 2021. Yes, right after the 75218 set from 2018 retired less than a year ago. The 2021 is a bit of a downsize but does include a more diverse Minifigure selection replacing Biggs Darklighter & R2-Q2 with General Dodonna & Princess Leia. For $50 the 2021 LEGO X-Wing is a more affordable version of the 2018 X-Wing retaining many of the play features & the footprint of the old model.

      I like the 2018 one better just because it has more details and it’s larger. I missed out on it since I had my dark age in middle school. But....now that I have a little money I may get the new one or...I’ll just keep saving for the gunship assuming it comes out in May.

      I like the new one more, the figures are better, it isn’t much smaller, it is a better price, and in my opinion is better for the simplicity of it, the models had been getting too over detailed

    I see where LEGO is going with these "budget" sets because if you buy both the 2021 X wing (50 USD) and Tie fighter (40 USD) that's 90 dollars for 906 pieces and if your a parent or a child u get to play VS with the two sets. the currently available X wings and Tie fighters are 75273 Poe Dameron's X wing (90 USD) with a piece count of 761 pieces and the Sith Tie fighter (80 USD) with a piece count of 470 together making a total price and piece count of 1231 pieces for 170 USD with a similar budget I could buy two 2021 ties and x wings each and build a miniature fleet or just buy one 2021 Tie and X wing for my child (theoretically speaking) and have them play VS with two ships instead of buying just one ship for the same price.

    If LEGO can make a rebel helmet look really good like the resistance pilot helmets, I’m all for the integrated visor. I feel like the helmets from the 2018 set look weird because the visor is too wide and too thick. I hope to see them try again in the future.

    • @Bumbulers_Bricks
      @Bumbulers_Bricks Před 8 měsíci

      It would be hard to get the plastic so thin without it being very delicate (at least I assume it would) and it is a kids toy so they might just stick with the old one. Would be nice if they could make it look good with the 3d visor though.

      I think the reason they decided to make another X-Wing and Tie Fighter for this year because
      1.This is the new direction for Lego to scale down things to be more affordable.
      So this is kinda experimental wave and they wanna try it with X-Wing and Tie Fighter first because both are iconic ships from Original Trilogy which is "universal love" for Star Wars fans.
      (And that's the same reason why they keep making OT stuff more than the prequel and sequel I guess)
      2.These are the models that gonna be use this in the upcoming Skywalker Saga game. So the 2018 sets will be outdated
      Amd there might be a demand for these sets when the game releases.

    Even though I thought the 2018 helmets seemed proportion at first, they are actually pretty accurate when you watch the scenes with the pilots wearing their large helmets. I still really like the classic helmets, but when it comes to changes why would they reverse these helmets and not the stormtrooper helmets that are much more aesthetically problematic?

    The stud shooters on the side of the 2018 x-wing are a great addition. They add to design and accuracy as they are meant to (and I think do a good job of) represent the proton torpedo tubes that are on the actual fighter. Also not bad for playability, definitely utilized far better than most stud/spring loaded shooters are. I really like my 2018 model, and while I don’t think the 2021 one is bad I didn’t pick it up and think it is for sure a downgrade.

  • @leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347

    As someone who has a Bandai model of a T-60 I will say, for those who are more interested in accuracy it’s a draw between the two. The bigger engines on the 2018 one is more accurate for sure. The hexagonal rear end of the 2018 one is also more accurate. Also the blue cockpit for the 2018 is definitely more accurate, but less detailed than the new one. Where the 2020 one wins is definitely in the S-Foil mechanism since the wings finally connect in the middle, as they actually do. The new wings are also thinner which is definitely a win. I think that someone who is obsessed with accuracy would be best off buying the 2020 model, as modifying some aspects of it. The least accurate part of both sets is definitely how flat the nose cone is. Once lego takes the rear end of the 2020 model, and adds a brand new sloping nosecone, they will have created the perfect X-Wing.

    my 7 yo son built the 2018 model this weekend. I have been saving it for him for when he was old enough. It was a great build and it looks amazing. Im tempted to build my Red5 X-Wing now!

    I still remember getting my first LEGO Star Wars set Christmas 2008 I believe. The storm trooper battle pack and the rebel battle pack. But the best thing was the x wing, I was so excited and I remember when I got back to school we had show and tell and someone stole the luke skywalker minifig. I was so sad, and scared to tell my parents even tho they wouldn’t have been mad. But I ended up buying a whole other x wing with birthday money. I stopped paying attention to my LEGO until lately
