Lego Star Wars 6212 X-Wing Fighter

Product Information

LEGO is just one of the things I can discuss well and for a long time, although I sometimes tend to end up rambling and talking endlessly about it.

As a life long Star Wars fan, who now has two kids the same age as me when I first saw it, this is a great toy to have.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! The box has a matte finish, but the X-wing and portions of its exhaust are overlaid with a semi-glossy film. As I do seem to be viewed as quite the nitpicker, I feel I should also point out that contrary to what Brickdoctor said, if my sources are correct, the six-stud length of the Star Wars engine piece is actually pretty close to what it should be relative to the rest of the craft at this scale (taking the size restrictions posed by studs into account). He says that to your average SW fan, the inaccuracies aren't that noticeable, which is most likely true.

All in all, the bags look nice and full with the exception of the two big ones that contain all the big parts, and this looks like a nice amount for the money. 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.

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? Not sure why a few years ago Lego felt the need to brighten up these vehicles (black and blue Tie Fighters? The old black rubber bands got brittle and would have to be replaced, but the white, yellow, red, and blue varieties don't. Even though this set was created in 2006, it hasn't been discontinued and is still up for purchase at Toy's R Us.

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. Do note that this mechanism is very similar to that of sets of the X-wing's predecessor, the ARC-170 starfighter.

If you are getting this (or already have), I also suggest you get the TIE Advanced coming out in Janurary '09, to .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). 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. 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. 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.
