Lego Star Wars 6212 X-Wing Fighter

Product Information

The working S-foil wings are great and the fact that it came with six popular characters is the icing on the cake.

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. Also, it includes Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and R2-D2 minifigures. Features parts to customize your starfighter as either Luke Skywalker’s™ Red Five or Wedge’s Red Two X-wing! We see jumper plates, nice; neck brackets, nice; Technic bushings, nice; 1 x 1 tiles, nice; small Technic pins with balls - there's nothing not to like in this bag! On that high note, here are the notable pieces: Since you probably don't want to see 90% of Bag Eight all over again, I narrowed it down to the extremely useful or interesting.This set hasn't been together for too long, but from what I remember of my copies of 7259 and 4502 before I parted them out permanently, the rubber bands get a tiny bit stretched, but not to the point that they need replacing, and that was over a period of 3-4 years, I believe. The old black rubber bands got brittle and would have to be replaced, but the white, yellow, red, and blue varieties don't.

We will collect the Import Fees Deposit at the time of your purchase and use it to cover applicable taxes and duties on import. The one thing I want to point out is that TLG has printed the screen from the torpedo targeting display onto the control panel. You want to add the Lego set 6212 X-wing Fighter to your Lego Star Wars collection or to make a gift to your child without spending all your money? I may keep an eye out for a couple more sets on the cheap so I can have Wedge and Biggs along for the ride. 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).Ewok Village | 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter | 11905 Brickmaster Star Wars: Battle for the Stolen Crystals parts | 30240 Star Wars Z-95 Headhunter | 30241 Mandalorian Fighter | 30242 Republic Frigate | 30243 Umbaran MHC | 5001621 Han Solo (Hoth) | 5001709 Clone Trooper Lieutenant | 75000 Clone Troopers vs.

I refuse to expound more and will just leave it at that, no need for another heated discussion that might mar this review.The screen there is used for things like translating what the Astromech droid is saying or present the laser cannon targeting screen. When you are comparing the old to the new are you comparing older 6212 set vs a current production version? Brickset, the Brickset logo and all content not covered by The LEGO Group's copyright is, unless otherwise stated, ©1997-2024 Brickset ltd. I'm comparing the minifigs I got in this set with the other editions of the minifig currently available.

Now notice the engines: the 'real' ones have slats in the intakes and the skinnier rear half is off-centered. If the Wampa Snow Speeder and new AT-AT are any indication of TLGs approach to updating an iconic vehicle, I suspect a few minor tweaks to the new falcon and will look to MOCs and MODs to make the falcon as good as it can be, just like how AFOLs have upgraded their 4504s.If you want to make it more accurate, the easy fix I mentioned earlier about the markings is that you just remove one of each color tile from the end of the stripe, and the X-wing becomes Wedge's Red 2. Let me repeat that again: all the little things that were done right add up to a pretty darn good model. 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. Today's value for a new/sealed X-wing Fighter is estimated around 112 € with a average yearly gain of 4% and is expected to level off closer to 3% soon. 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.
