Lego Star Wars 6212 X-Wing Fighter

Product Information

The newer face I personally doesn't look any more Luke-ish, but at least you won't confuse him with young Obi-Wan. The wing starts off with a stack of plates since, as with most any LEGO set, that's what a wing essentially is.

I too voted that it could use a makeover since I think there are lots of aspects of this set that could use updating. Also, it includes Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and R2-D2 minifigures.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. He says that too your average SW fan, the inaccuracies aren't that noticeable, which is most likely true.

Note: Two of the pictures in this review under the Finished Model section (Side view and Head-on view) aren't showing up on my end, but a RA Teacher can see them just fine. Color definition is excellent, like many instructions of this era, the black and dark grey/bley colors are easily differentiated, although the colors are a tad greenish. Box art shows the X-wing flying away pursued by TIE/ln fighters, who are cleverly silhouetted by an explosion, avoiding the possible assumption that this set included TIEs. This set is pretty good for swooshing, but we've got lot of features to cover, so I won't linger here. The minifigures included in the set were: Luke Skywalker (pilot), Han Solo (Hoth), Princess Leia (Hoth), Wedge Antilles, R2-D2 and Chewbacca.The blue trim was then edited back in in post production, but only for Empire and Jedi, not for A New Hope, making both the blue and grey trim editions accurate. You start nice and simple with the prefabricated trans-clear gearbox itself, then add on Technic bricks for the wings to hinge on, and finally bulk it out and add landing supports. As always, excellently done review Doc, the pictures and commentary are top-notch, I could almost see you graduating as an RA Teacher.

The X-wing is clearly flying away from Hoth, and Hoth-edition minifigs are show in the minifig lineup in the bottom right. 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. While I'm not entirely happy with the way you've presented my own views of this set (everyone has an agenda I guess), this is a very good review, as it highlights the various pros and cons of this set while not being as cuddly as the other reviews were. Oddly, this set depicts Wedge's X-wing as being Red 3 instead of Red 2 (due to the number of red tiles the builder is instructed to put on the wings of the fighter).As of today, 10123 Cloud City is the most valuable Episode V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of 8 038 €. It might not be that accurate to us, but as far as the average member of the targeted audience is concerned, this is a great set. 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. They follow the same basic pattern as the bottom wings, but since the studs in relation to the center of the gearbox have now changed directions, there's a little adjustment involved.

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. In any case, I don't want to bore some of you with this accuracy talk, but if you want to scrutinize it more thoroughly, there's a great set of images of the studio model here.

In the original set, those would have come wrapped around a rubber band holder, but those aren't made anymore.
