Resistance X-wing Starfighter

75297 Resistance X-Wing contains 60 parts and will retail for $20 when it releases in March. That may not seem like a good value, but let's be real - this set isn't for people like you and me. If you have a young child in your life, whether it's yours, a sibling, a niece or nephew, or whatever, who likes Star Wars and you want to get them into LEGO, this is a great set to help kickstart that passion. If you can find it on sale, it could even be worth picking up for yourself for the parts and the semi-rare minifig. more less

75297 Resistance X-wing Starfighter includes an excellent Poe Dameron minifigure and BB-8 rarely appears in comparatively inexpensive sets. Otherwise, I am quite disappointed with this addition to the 4+ range. The model does capture some significant features of the T-70 X-wing but many are completely missing, including the distinctive wing structure and nose shape. more less

For most adult fans, 75297 Resistance X-wing will be an instant pass. It's too simple, the build is over far too quickly and the finished model looks too basic and child-like. However, this is intended for the youngest of LEGO builders and in that department it certainly succeeds. The build may be easy, but it's engaging enough to keep young minds entertained. The printed parts add some nice detail and the fact the s-foils can open and close adds to the play value of the model. more less
