LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter 75275 Building Kit; Collectible Building Set for Adults; Makes a Cool Birthday for Star Wars Fans (1,673 Pieces)

Overall I think it’s a fun build but a few things left me scratching my head. Both engines (and a few other components) are held on only by 1 piece each - surprising considering the size. I would have though they would have been design with more stability. Which leads me to saying it’s not a “play time” set and more of a sit on the shelf set. Pro is the fact I was super impressed the side cannons rotate backwards as they do on the “real” A-wing.

As a Star Wars nerd, I was extremely excited when I saw this. I bought it immidiately and it actually came in the mail a full day earlier that it said it would. I had a blast building this and it looks fantastic in real life. If you give this thing as a gift to someone, they will love you forever no doubt in my mind. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PLAY THING! This is purely display. If you tried to play with it, you would have quite a few issues. Just keep it dusted and force everyone who comes over to admire it because this is a really good set.

This is a MASSIVE build that took me a few hours to complete, and was really fun. I did notice however, that the box had some cosmetic damage on it, but that might have also occurred while shipping. Overall, its an amazing set, but if you are someone who wants the box in pristine/factory new shape, I would look elsewhere.

Christmas Presents

Amazing attention to detail. More than 1600 pieces During this terrible outbreak, it took around two days to compete. If you enjoy extremely detailed Star Wars LEGO Star fighters, this is the set for you.

Added to my daughters Lego Star Wars collection; this is a beautiful, fun and challenging build. At this point we have developed a fairly serious collection with several of the larger, discontinued and now Unobtanium Unicorn Star Wars sets. Once assembled this A-Wing is definitely a beautiful build and makes a wonderful display addition to any serious collection. The cockpit is among the coolest Lego cockpits ever (in my opinion). Definitely in a league above many of the less advanced, more play Lego Star Wars kits. There is some challenging architecture involved and a couple of slightly more difficult aspects to this build than some of the other Star Wars kits. Due to they way the engine nacelles are attached to the main fuselage this is definitely not designed for childs play, though an older child who is patient and experienced with Lego can certainly build it. It is a collector-grade display set. Therefore, it is not to scale with many of the more play-oriented fighter-type model sets. It is larger. Some may be put off by the amount of decal vs printed pieces. I can see some cost reduction benefits and for me the decals are just part of the challenge, fun and reward of the build experience. The ONLY thing (in my opinion) that would make this set better, would be if Lego had made a 1-of-a-kind pilot scaled to fit the build. The pilot included with the set is not in scale with the kit, and is more of an accent than a functional element. I would have loved to have seen how Lego might have made a pilot that would actually be in scale and work with that great cockpit. So okay, bottom line for any serious Lego Star Wars collector yes this should be on your display case with your other treasures. It is elegant, sleek and very cool.

I bought this for myself...I mean by kids when theyre like 5 years older than they are now. Its challenging but fun - good to do when you just need to zone out for a couple hours to escape the crushing monotony of everyday life. I recommend pairing with a couple cold beers and some headphones - really make a night of it.

Love the Lego Star Wars series, fun build.

No landing gear on this. And it had stickers. Pretty good set though

This was my first UCS set and I was very satisfied with this build. A good looking solid set. Slightly more complex and challenging compared to a typical play set. A really great display piece. My only complaint is when buying from amazon they put the shipping label right on the box and the box was beat up quite a bit. If Id have known thats how theyd send it I would have just bought it from Lego.
