Of course, for those who are used to 6212-like X-wing, this set can look very poorly designed. But it is from old times, when Lego could make excellent sets from a little amount of details, and now it seems like they make a new detail in every case they don't know how to make a part of a set. I was choosing between this one and 4502 (they were only available at that moment) and I chose this one because of Biggs' chequeboard helmet. Yes, this X-wing is smaller and not as detailed as the new ones, you can't move wings simply rotating a gear at the back, but it's easy and interesting to play. You also have a techician from Yavin-4 and Biggs with his awesome helmet so you can make a scene in the rebel hangar.

I remember when MY BROTHER got this set. Yeah thats right not really mine actually mine really my brothers. BUT he never really opened it and he didnt rally vare about it so he gave it to me. Me and my dad (who helped me build it cause i was younger) built it and i had alot of fun with it. Not in stores anymore though but oh well. Now onto the pros and cons(if I can remember all of them)

CONS

dont remember any

Well thats pretty much it. I think you should get this set. And remember I DO NOT ACTUALLY OWN THIS. You cant get this in stores anymore. You can still get this on ebay and what not well thats pretty much it. Read my other reviews.

The x-Wing fighter was poorly designed! The wings were to short! And there are ski's for the landing gear! SKI'S! Come on! The speeder type thing wasn't the best. The engines were neat! The amount of minifigs were good! This is an okay set.
