The Rebel Vanguard: LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing Starfighter (75355)
Jedi-Level Precision
Revisit the heart of the Galactic Civil War with the Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter. This 1,949-piece model is the most detailed T-65 ever produced by LEGO, capturing the iconic silhouette of Luke Skywalker’s Red Five with surgical accuracy. Measuring a massive 55cm (21.5”) long, this model is designed for the advanced builder who values the engineering complexity of the S-foil mechanism and the intricate “greebling” along the fuselage and engines.
Whether you are reliving the Trench Run or the heroics seen in The Mandalorian, this UCS masterpiece stands as a definitive tribute to the ship that changed the fate of the galaxy.
Ultimate Collector Engineering
The 75355 sets a new standard for large-scale Star Wars models, focusing on mechanical movement and museum-quality display.
- Dial-Operated S-Foils: Forget simple levers; this model features a sophisticated dial on top of the fuselage. A simple turn smoothly adjusts the wings from high-speed flight mode into the famous “X” attack position.
- Exclusive Luke Skywalker: Includes a specialized Luke Skywalker minifigure with highly detailed arm and leg printing, specifically designed for this UCS set, complete with his lightsaber.
- The Navigator: Features a dedicated port behind the cockpit for the included R2-D2 LEGO droid figure, ensuring your astromech is ready to manage the ship’s power distribution and repair systems.
- Complex Cockpit Design: The cockpit features a new-style canopy and a dense array of controls, offering a rare glimpse into the “office” of a Rebel pilot.
- Fact-Plaque Display Stand: Comes with a buildable display stand and an informational plaque detailing the X-wing’s technical specs (such as its Incom Corporation lineage), elevating the set from a toy to a premier gallery artifact.
The Pride of the Fleet
The 75355 X-Wing Starfighter is a rewarding, mindful building project that commands any room it inhabits. While the SMART Play™ X-Wing (75423) is built for interactive missions, the UCS version is built for the absolute purist. It serves as the perfect heroic counterpart to the Lego Death Star (75419), providing a stunning visual narrative of the Rebellion’s triumph over the Empire.
