Product Information

Furthermore, even though I may have been somewhat unreasonable in presenting the argument that this set isn't good-looking, there's nothing wrong with someone having that opinion. Firstly, the selection: Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, R2-D2, Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. Although I am fully aware that I am one of maybe two or three people on this board that does not think this set is the greatest LEGO Star Wars set ever, that doesn't mean that my only reason for not liking this set is that I'm a spergy nitpicker who enjoys "constantly knocking into others for failing to achieve perfection and. The box has a matte finish, but the X-wing and portions of its exhaust are overlaid with a semi-glossy film.

It's one of the most iconic ships in the history of Star Wars, piloted by the two of the most iconic Rebel pilots ever, with all but one of the main protagonist characters. Personally, I think if TLG is going to keep making this set, they need to at least redesign the box and instructions. also interesting to note - the 7749 set has the older face, so the older face is on the right in this comparison, but the older minifig as a whole is on the left) There is no difference in torso print here, the only difference in legs is the color, and this set's Han does not come with the hood.We also see the results of this set being produced for so long: some of the Technic pieces have since been replaced and no longer match the inventory. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you're using this for display and not play you can always just put on four rubber bands and you'd have two extras.

There is nothing more left to say on my part other than my personal opinions on the aesthetics of this set, and something so subjective cannot be properly argued. As for the TIEs, I believe TIE Fighters were originally meant to be black with blue trim, but it was discovered that the blue trim would be edited out with the blue screen, so it was replaced on the studio model with light grey trim.

Do note that this mechanism is very similar to that of sets of the X-wing's predecessor, the ARC-170 starfighter. Features parts to customize your starfighter as either Luke Skywalker’s Red Five or Wedge’s Red Two X-wing! The screen there is used for things like translating what the Astromech droid is saying or present the laser cannon targeting screen. Granted, in reality, it takes a lot more than one red stripe to change the identity of a battered Rebellion X-wing, but this brings you a little closer.

We also see two bubbles and a line of text at the bottom left, all set on red, declaring the primary features in English and French. In this case, that's an extra flip-over of the wing to add the tan boat studs to allow the Technic struts on the gearbox to slide freely.

And the overall positive view/rating of this set by the general public/majority will speak for itself. LEGO Star Wars Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back is a subtheme of Star Wars which contained sets based on the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back film. not to say that Wedge is unimportant - he's the only pilot to have survived two fully-armed Death Stars in a snubfighter) In fact, the only main good guy missing from the lineup is C-3PO. What I can't do is give this set a lower rating than the Wampa Cave, though, because it doesn't deserve that bad a score.

With S-foil wings that open to attack position, folding landing gear, a cargo hold and lots of authentic details, this special edition Star Wars set includes the first-ever LEGO mini figure of Rebel hero Wedge Antilles, as well as several hard-to-find characters.

Honestly, the only thing I can think of to make this selection any better would've been to include C-3P0 instead of Wedge, because then this set would be the undisputed king of the Star Wars 'Starter Packs'.

It's got all the necessary elements to be both a great introductory set for the budding your or otherwise new fan, while being something that us older fans and parents recognize as a classic Star Wars ship. As of today, 10123 Cloud City is the most valuable Episode V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of 8 038 €. One of my goals when reviewing this set was that amidst all the negative discussion concerning this set lately, I wanted to present an unbiased review that explains why I think this set is so successful. This screen would be seen by the pilot inside the little retracting targeting scope, not on the instrument panel itself. it's too far forward) It's a nice touch, and there are tons of ships with nowhere to stash that lightsaber, but you probably won't be playing with this too much.
