LEGO Star Wars B-Wing Fighter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always loved B-Wings and have told myself that one day I would get one. These new releases caught my eye and so I spent my own money to get one. I was not disappointed. The B-Wing is AWESOME!!! It copies the design and features from the fighter in the movie very carefully, so it's a good-looking model Actually, the B-Wing in the movie is pretty ugly, and this copies the ship from the movie, but I've played enough video games to respect its firepower. I guess it doesn't look too bad. It's a nice Lego, but nothing is perfect. Here are the pros and cons.
PROS:
At a good 15 inches tall, this thing is MONSTER!
It looks really neat
The service tower is a nice thing to have for realistic play
With the tower as a display stand, this thing looks cool in your bedroom
For a huge fighter, it's actually easy to play with
This thing would probably rock in the Star Wars ship battles kids like me have with its 7 guns.
Not too hard to build
CONS:
Kind of expensive
It doesn't break often, but when it does, it's tough to repair
It's not too hard to build, but it does take a while
It doesn't balance too well on the service tower/display stand because it's so heavy. Don't touch it though and you'll be fine
The Ten Numb minifigure doesn't look too good in my opinion
You have to open the S-foils manually. You think Lego would have the little gear-wheel to open it.
Missiles have zip range, but Lego never really came through in the missile department anyway
Engines look a bit tiny compared to the rest of the model
The mechanic minifigure(whichever one you choose to use, I like to use the Ten Numb minifigure)doesn't have a lot of room to stand on
The pilot minifigure is kind of hard to fit in
Overall, most of the flaws are tiny and it's a really cool ship worth the $35.

Just like the classic Star Wars vessel, its wings can fold for flight or vertical landing. Challenge the forces of the Empire and use your launchers to save the day! A service tower doubles as a display stand for the fighter and can fold down for easy storage. Cockpit opens so you can put the B-wing pilot at the controls. Includes Rebel pilot. Includes 435 LEGO pieces.
