LEGO Star Wars 75355 X-Wing Starfighter Officially Revealed | May 2023


As Star Wars day is getting ever close LEGO has today officially revealed 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 is a brand new UCS X-Wing Starfighter available on 4th 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 comes with a black stand for the X-Wing 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 slightly different version of the black 18+ box design with that small hint of Star Wars blue in the background.


Back to the build itself though, the biggest LEGO X-Wing so far is 27cm high, 55 cm long and 44 cm wide 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. A dial can be turned on top of the X-Wing to adjust the wings into either flight or attack mode.


Apart from that though, the only real play feature of the set is the cockpit which can be opened to put one of either two Minifigures 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 can get our hands on it as the set will be available from 4th May 2023. LEGO Star Wars promotions will also be taking place around this release date for Star Wars Day including 2023's May the Fourth promo of 40591 Mini Death Star.
