This set is a joy. I picked it up the day it came out, went straight home, opened the box, and—three and a half hours later—sat and marveled at its intricate detail and functions for hours. Exactly two weeks later, I'm still in love with it. The price is relatively fair at slightly over the 10 cents per piece standard. But, despite the piece count, the completed model doesn't really look like its price tag. It's more of a $70-ish looking set, which is what it SHOULD have been priced at, but I'm not complaining too much on that front, especially when the TIE-Fighter is already taking enough flak on that front. The build is straightforward and at no point was I confused. The way the nose comes together is like if magic and shear genius had a baby. It's amazing. There's almost no repetition, except for the wings. I found myself getting a little worn out by the final bag, but overall, I think the instructions were paced well. There's one noticeable issue, however: The engines on the back don't fit correctly into their slots. They can fall off unless you put them in as best as possible. It's not a deal breaker, but it's annoying and could have been handled better. You'd expect more from a set at this price. The landing gear is good, but somewhat delicate. You have to be careful not to apply to much pressure when the X-wing is landed, or else the landing gear will collapse under its weight. I can't complain too much; there's really no alternative design. The profile is also not quite accurate to the new TFA X-wings. The canopy sits up too high, and the nose is too flat. This looks similar to a classic X-wing, whilst the new ones are streamlined. The wings also don't fold accurately, and I'm sure they could with a better design. Still, they open and close by twisting a gear on the top, and that's awesome. All these faults are lessened by the fact that the set is GORGEOUS. It's stunning, sturdy, playable, and just plain amazing. I recommend it, unless you have some kind of crazy OCD or something. xD It's not as accurate as it could be, but it's stunning in and of itself.
