LEGO Star Wars 75301 LUKE SKYWALKER'S X-WING FIGHTER Review! (2021)

- A downsize for 2021. The LEGO Star Wars 75300 Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Starfighter is a surprisingly good value for $50 IMO. With 4 Minifigures being General Dodonna, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, & R2-D2 you get plenty! This downsized model loses a couple play features from previous models but retains most of the size somehow.

Much like the downsized TIE Fighter, I find myself surprised to be enjoying the downsized X-Wing. Good value. Good build. Good Minifigures. It's not as GREAT as 2018 but it gets the job done.
I feel like this is the most refined x-wing yet
I prefer the tie fighter becuase I think the back of this looks like a rectangle and I'm not really a fan
my man, where's the link to the x-wing comparison vid?

Better than I thought it would be especially for a 50$ set.

If lego made a scaled down version for the Y-wing and tie bomber I would be so happy
We also need a TIE Bomber and a TIE Interceptor as well!
I could see this being the way they make a tie bomber but I don't really want a scaled down Y wing tbh I think the Y wing is pretty good where it's at and the price isn't that bad either in my opinion
Do you mean like Microfighters? Because they have those
@@froggiez4915 He means sets that are actually scaled to Minifigures
@@christopherstein2024 the Y wing is already a good size and price.

I've always thought the X-Wings and the TIEs had become way too big lately. This is a very welcome smaller entry.
R2-d2 sticking out that much is actually more accurate, it just doesn't look as good in lego
just take those 2 jumper pieces and it will be more accurate
@@santialvarado1211 oh really? Thanks!
@@jorgearenas1731 That is what i just did, so easy to fix! Next thing for me is to fix the landing gear, the ski falls of and there should be a way to make it folding.
I've just put Chopper inside
Yeah, because he needs to use the tools behind the blue panels to fix the ship. But I think that the ship is slanted so he tucks down a bit in the front.
This doesn’t look as bad as I expected and I like how they tried something new with the nose, back looks a bit too boxy though
Agreed.

I hope they release an $80 bundle of the TIE Fighter and X Wing similarly to how they made the A-Wing vs TIE Advanced for Rebels.
When you realize the 2018 x-wing was almost the same price as the 2021 x-wing and tie fighter combined
@@joeyk107 yeah, it’s amazing how cheap and well made these sets are
They should make a a wing tie interceptor bundle and y wing tie bomber bundle
Or b wing and tie interceptor
He knew👆
I have to say I absolutely loved building the mechanism for the wings. Seeing it come together and figuring out how it’d operate the wings was so cool.
These slightly scaled down slightly cheaper sets got me back into LSW!
Luke's lightsaber and hilt can be split apart and stored on the rear end of the X-wing, behind the technic beams.
It’s basically impossible to put it in there. I still haven’t been able to.
@Mark Lesar The dark gray pocket on the top of the ship, behind the wings. You have to split apart the lightsaber in order for it to fit. You attach the blade to the clips and put in the hilt behind it.
Even when it’s split it doesn’t fit
@Big Boi He puts his thumb on it at 9:28.
@@Ladondorf Hmm...good idea, but while the hilt fits, the blade is four studs long, and because of the pieces next to the clips make the space smaller. Still, good comment.
Hey haven’t been here in awhile I think it’s time for me to start getting in to legos again
JOIN THE BRICK SIDE.
Of the Brick side...

You know I just thought of something. What if the whole point of this year is to make original trilogy sets downsized and more affordable and then later that year or the following year they’ll do the same for clone wars sets or sequel sets I know I would love a more affordable rebuplic gunship
well they're coming out with a UCS gunship at $350 so xd
I have no idea why people keep saying this X Wing is "scaled down" I looked up some stills from a New Hope and it's actually the most accurate size when compared to the character. The new tie fighter is definitely way smaller than the movie version.
I love this thing that Lego is trying to do now. they know that their lego sets have been becoming more and more expensive, and they have found that the best solution to this problem is to make these lower priced sets. I myself like to call these "value sets" because their price allows lower income families to be able to afford a lego set that is comparable to that of the more expensive sets in the past. Sure they're not as rich in detail and piece count as the other ones, and some components work different ly due to the lower piece count and design, but I think that this was a reasonable balance of both what you pay for and what you get. Lego also had to take into account that, since unemployment is skyrocketing, and covid has struck down our economy, Lego has done something remarkable to acknowledge these problems, and still allow families to continue to buy their products. I applaud you Lego, keep up the good work!
Government shut down businesses* but yes I agree
This is definitely worth the $50 imo. The TIE is also just $40. Very good for their sizes.
Would you recommend getting both or just this
@FIFAGamer164 I'd personally recommend getting both sets before they retire, because they're really good sets.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 I just nabed one of the last ones on amazon🙏
At the WalMarts near me you can get the x-wing set for $39.99 and the TIE fighter set for $32.99. That’s quite the bargain. Being able to get an x-wing and TIE fighter combo for around $75 is really awesome.
I have both sets and think they’re both really cool. Especially the x-wing. Just something about the design I really like.
Same for me P Ducks

ITS A TRAP
He's on me tight. I can't shake him!
Very cool...great review as always....thanks Ryan!!
I'm really happy to see some cheaper versions of classic Lego Star Wars designs. I might get some flack for this but I actually love the 4 plus sets for the same reason: It gives little kids and families that can't afford the big ships a chance to still play. This and the TIE fighter are an excellent compromise.
A simple mod I thought of was to stack a 2by4 brick with 2 2by2 tile on each side then put the r2d2 head in the center and maybe put a few 2x4 plates underneath the brick to make it slightly taller so r2 doesn’t stick out as much
Both this and the Tie look pretty good for it’s money! Thanks for the early and honest reviews, and for keeping us entertained 😄
Your doing a comparison of this and the last one right
He is. It’s just not released yet. It will appear in the description once it is uploaded. :D
It should be a comparison of all the playscale x-wings imo
Yes
@@MandRproductions just this one and the 2018 one?
@@MandRproductions the real question is if you have all these sets do you have the imperial shuttle?
Looks like most of that price tag is focused in the new engineering for the s-foils. I'm liking the direction Lego is heading in leaving the rubber bands in the past but we collectors seriously need a more screen accurate build in future. I'm wondering if it would be possible to mod the 2018 set with this model's gears.....
I really appreciate how this wave is nice and cheap, even if I won't pick much up. It'll be really nice for the kids to play the video game when it comes out and have these sets more accessible pricewise than they have been for years
I’d gladly take a boxy back end in exchange for a better, smoother, non-rubber band S-Foil mechanism. Looks like a lot of value for $50. Thanks for the great review, Ryan!
We've got a really smooth s-foil play feature without the need of rubberbands, a lever, or dial thingy but at the cost of bad landing gear
I got this for Xmas, and I really love it. There's a couple of easy improvements you can make to the set - if you remove the two 2x1 single stud plates that Artoo stands on in the droid socket, it instantly lowers Artoo a good bit behind the cockpit and looks much better, without significantly impeding the ability to remove him. I'm also adding a couple of extra shooters to the upper wings, so all four wings have a firing weapon, and I've added a curved underside piece to the nose, to clean up the lines there. Looks lovely. But I need to do something about the front landing gear - it's just too loose.
The other mod I'm planning on, is adding some pieces to the plates the make up the sides of the X-Wing behind the cockpit and on the engine block, to better give that slightly hexagonal shape the X-Wing's hull has. Not sure if I'll use some slopes or curved slopes - possibly a mixture of the two, but I think it'll greatly improve the look.
artoo....
Rip dave browse may the force be with him
Great spelling. *David Prowse.
Great correcting. No one cares, this is a English exam
I would get this for General Dodanna & Princess Leia.
Great review, I was considering of getting this but I'm not completely sold on it. Putting the price aside, the build feel like its between the junior set and the regular x-wing. The engine looks very chunky, and the S-foils just feels incomplete, and the thrusters seems to come off easily. And R2 sits too high, the the landing gear doesn’t fold.
I really like this x wing because it would be my first x wing. Ps you inspired my name I will try to upload LEGO reviews like you soon!

Let’s just appreciate the fact that the first second of the vid the auto generated subtitles said amanda productions😂
Wow Ryan. You're hammering these 2021 release reviews
Now this... THIS is a good upgrade. One complaint I had with the 2018 one was the bulky wings and short guns, but this one hit's it on just the right nail!
I’d really like to see Resistance X-Wings and First Order TIE Fighters at this price range.
To be fair, they go for around the same price used

I picked this up for $40 at Walmart and am really happy to have such a great set at that price point.
Just got one for my grandson, $40 on Amazon. March 2023.
Honeslty going into this I was expecting this wave to be disappointing. But since it holds such a great value. I feel like the new Tie, X-wing, and Imperial shuttle are going to be great sets for aspiring collectors just starting their collections. Or even fans who haven’t had the money to but some of the more expensive ones since Covid has hit. Overall I think of lego can balance the More premium sets and the more cost friendly ones. Lego will continue to hold their fans. I’m very exited to see where the future leads with these
I agree that these are are starting to look a bit better than the price suggests - good value and great for fleet building
Seeing how most of these original trilogy sets have a return of the Jedi box art, I think it would’ve been cool to see maybe see Wedge Antilles’ X wing or something like that instead of another Luke’s X-Wing
Maybe but Luke is a set mover.
R2-D2 stuck out that much in the x-wing within the movies, I’m glad that they did it differently this time so it would be more accurate.
Ive seen some cover designs for the technic chunk. THey look pretty good and it doesnt limit the wing movement of the set much. I suggest it
Been waiting for this review all day
I really want this set
When j2g gets out Star Wars reviews faster than MandR

Ryan, you should rate the sets in different categories for your reviews like you do in comparisons. It would make it easier for the viewer to know if they should buy it
I find it weird that the princess leia minifig is holding the silver/gray blaster on the box, and general dodana has the smaller one, but in the instructions it switches them up.
I just realized that the Luke minifig has a new print on his body.

@Jack STOP SPAMIN
I like how we all went from being disgusted and mad when we found out we’re getting a downsized tie fighter and x wing and now we all think their good for the price
Dude ur work is awesome
I think this would be a really good addition to a rebel hangar moc, the landing gear not moving kinda makes me think that
The middle mechanism was an absolute pain to build. After not building with legos for a couple of years and coming back with this was a really big challenge.
Amateur
How was it hard to build? The instructions make it pretty clear
I can’t wrap myself around the back it looks bad how the whole ship is mainly tiled off and it just doesn’t fit
Doogle spoogle
i agree berner the boxy back really irks me and the front needs more tiles but i might actually pick it up
The back will never be as good as the back of the 2018 x wing.
Some quick thoughts on this set - despite being lacking in detail compared to the 2018 set, it's actually closer to the correct proportions if this matters. The engines for instance are too large and stubby on the previous X-Wing, and the from extends too far. In fact by scale, the 2021 model actually is more scaled properly to the minifigs as well. The top rear deck is also more easily modded to look correct on the 2021 version. The distance of course is wrong for the cannons on both models, and quite a few good videos exist on mods, but one easy one - R2 is held in with two 1x2 jumpers which just removing and attaching him down directly lowers his height more than you would think, and use eight 1x1 dark gray flat panel bricks to stick in the engine inlets to get detail, and its pretty good as is. I'd also attach one white 2x4 or 2x5 flat white panel on the area just in front of the cockpit. Removing two parts, adding nine for next to nothing it already looks better. The minifig's obviously are superior to the 2018 model, especially for $50.
LEGO seems to be taking a very smart tack: make cheaper sets inspired by the Slave 1 from Cloud City for size, then let fans who have the desire add some parts for modding out of their stash, and if just casual buyers, it will be enough as-is. I plan to pair this set (modded) with the Yoda's hut from a few years back.
nice review! Thanks Ryan!
Wow, I’m honestly surprised at how these sets have turned out! Hoping the Imp Shuttle is a nice surprise as well👌🏻
Famous last words
....
People hate on the shuttle, but I really enjoy how mine looks. Especially for the deal I got on it
I think they really did good with this set! I like this new wave of lower priced versions of sets that have been creeping up and up in price over the years.
Definitely picking this set up. I hated dusting the old x wings because the rubber bands were tough to dust.
I honestly like how there shrinking some of these sets and I wish they would do it for the millennium falcon I don’t want really big Lego sets and this fits me just fine my personal favorite I have from the 2021 sets is the Tie Fighter set. Also I’m getting this set tomorrow
What I don't like is the 4 circles on the 4 wings looks weird
“Removing her buns”
Ok Ryan
2:23 I really liked the Lego Star Wars Resistance helmets, too!
10:52 reminds me of The Mandalorian S2:E2 when X-Wings go into attack position as they flank the Razor Crest.
OK good thing your video came out I wanted to know how this compared to the 2018 XWing
this looks great, especially for 50 bucks but imagine if lego released an arc 170 in this wave instead of another x wing :((
I bought it for $40 bucks plus taxes
Finally! Can’t believe I got here early
Thank you for reviewing this set
Just bought this, the razor crest, and a couple of the speed champions yesterday since it was Star Wars day. I’m now waiting for it😀
This set looks kind of like a mix of a regular x-wing and a 4+
The new cylinder pieces on the s-foils make it look like a 4+ set
In the name of the galactic senate of the republic you are under arrest

I wanna bet that we are going to get a Yavin IV set this year with a Dodonna figure as well (I so hope for it ! )

Building this set myself, I agree about the technic thing. Super confusing to build, so if you're younger, it'll be challenging.

This xwing (75301) is the closes-to-minifig-scale xwing that LEGO has ever made (at least lengthwise). It’s a tad too big. But still the closest. I just wish the wings could lock in to place better.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually kinda liked the 2018 Rebel pilot helmets. Lego was trying to go for the same thing they did with the resistance pilots. If they can do the transparent orange visor with this helmet mold though... mmm that would be awesome! Am I right?
