As Star Wars day is getting ever close so is the reveal and release of the next LEGO Star Wars UCS set of set number 75355. The set has been rumoured for some time now but it's now confirmed that 75355 will be a brand new UCS X-Wing available on 1st May 2023. The set makes it the third LEGO Star Wars UCS version of the X-Wing so far but it is the biggest with 1,949 pieces retailing for $239.99.
Like most UCS sets, 75355 will most likely come with a black stand to be positioned on in many angles along with a small data set sticker. The data set sticker is actually a print this time as LEGO looks to introduce further prints into its 18+ line of sets. And the printed UCS plaque isn't the only thing different about this set as it will come with a different version of the black 18+ box design which has become the norm over the past few years.
Back to the build itself though, the biggest LEGO X-Wing so far will be 27cm high and 55 cm long making it the perfect display model for any Star Wars fan. The usual details of the X-Wing are included with its white, red and grey colour scheme captured along with its unique pointy shape at both the front and the rear.
The only real play feature of the set is the cockpit which can be opened to put one of either two Minifigure in that are included in this set. These are R2-D2 and a new Pilot Luke Skywalker which includes extra arm printing and duel moulded legs with the black boots going well with the orange pilot suit. However, the cockpit details are sadly stickers as not the whole set utilises prints for specific details and references.
The $240 set includes all of this and much more and luckily it won't be long until we get official images of the new UCS 18+ set. This is because the set will be officially revealed at this year's Star Wars Celebration on 8th April 2023 along with a couple more in-depth looks.
