Customer Reviews

Fun and an Excellent Value
This Lego kit is an excellent value. The kit builds a very solid A-Wing fighter that features movable guns mounted at the tip of each wing and a cockpit canopy that a person can raise toward the front of the A-Wing to reveal a green-suited pilot and a Lego block with a simulated horizon on it. As with many recent Lego kits, this kit features four decals.

Also included in this kit are a technician and a cargo hauler. The cargo hauler has smooth round pads on the bottom that allows someone to move the hauler on most surfaces.

Unlike some Legos in this series, the A-Wing has relatively few parts that a person might easily knock off in play. The engine parts behind the A-Wing are probably the most easily detached pieces, and those parts are surrounded by other pieces. If you are looking to make a diorama, you may wish to buy several of these kits because this kit looks so good.

This kit was relatively easy to build, and most builders in the target age range of 7 to 12 years old should be able to build this kit in under an hour.

We have enjoyed Legos for decades, and the Star Wars Legos have been especially interesting to us as we are also fans of Star Wars. This particular Star Wars Lego kit is an excellent value for the price, and is a perfect gift for children of all ages 7 and above.

Awesome A-Wing
The new 2006 Lego A-Wing fighter is one of the best ships in the Lego line. A vast improvement over the original, blocky A-Wing, this one features some of the newer sloped pieces and two of the new fleshy-figures. You get a pilot with a cool outfit and a technician. Just to up the piece-count a little bit, you also get a neat little maintenance vehicle for the tech guy to drive.

The A-Wing itself has moving guns (and really cool looking ones at that), an opening canopy (much better than the V-Wing's) and an opening storage compartment at the back. The details are terrific. The engines look great, the tail fins look great, everything about the A-Wing is just dead-on accurate!

The only negative is the use of stickers. You can see them right on the front there. Unfortunately Lego's been using fewer and fewer printed pieces and too many stickers lately. But this vehicle only has a couple stickers. Compare that to a model like the Tri-Fighter which had far too many.

The A-Wing is great value for the money. You'll probably want to buy a couple so you can make a Rebel fleet for that massive space battle at the end of Episode VI!

I have more than one!
I love the original trilogy. The A-wing was an awesome fighter. I loved it's sleek design and speed. The original Lego A-wing wasn't the best set around. I love this new re-design.

This set features the use of white and maroon parts, different from the original grey and red. I actually like this color scheme and if you don't, well, you can change it. The model itself is awesome! The only flimsy part is the back fins, which don't fall off all of the time. Swoosh away with this model! Or display it. Although the nose isn't movie accurate, and the stickers are another dread, they're only minor problems. (Hey you may even like stickers.)Another problem is that the pilot lounges in the cockpit and the computer screen, I don't like either one of those. The cart that comes with it is basic. It's simple yet effective.

The figures are pretty cool. The smilies I don't like but I modded that. The technician has a cool torso and wears a helmet that he can skateboard with! The pilot is dressed in a sleek green with a nice racing helmet. Not movie-accurate helmet but still cool.

This is a very good set. It's only $[...] more than the original and comes with more pieces and accuracy. It's definately worth the money. Buy multiples, you won't regret it.
