Editorial Review

Want to fight the Dark Side but can't afford the credits for your own B-wing fighter? The solution is to build your own (and a complete repair station) from this big 338-piece LEGO-based kit. Mainly gray, white, and blue, it has everything a space mechanic could need: engines, gantries, R2-D2, all the parts needed for the fighter itself, and both a stubble-faced mechanic and a clean-shaven pilot who clearly has the Right Stuff. Wingspan is approximately 10 inches. May the socket wrench be with you. --Richard Farr

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice Rebel ship, July 30, 2000

I was very surprised by how innovative the B-Wing fighter ship was by Lego. Its cockpit continuously revolves around the ship. The wings can be left folded down for a travel mode or expanded for combat mode. I think this is the best designed Star Wars Lego ship available. The Rebel Control center included is innovative. It includes a sliding door panel and a large display of the Death Star. Not a plus for those who want to buy a squadron of B-Wing fighters, but it still adds to the set.

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars B-Wing at Rebel Control Center (7180) (Baby Product)

This ship is very large compared to the price of it. It also icludes the control center of course, but it isn't as cool, and I don't play with it much. To my surprise, the whole ship-rotating-around-the-cockpit thing works near perfectly. One of the more fun Legos to build, I highly recommend this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Addition, April 1, 2000

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars B-Wing at Rebel Control Center (7180) (Baby Product)

The BWing is a good choice to add to your Lego SW collection. The model is fairly easy to build. The BWing itself is moderately boring to play with however.There is one hatch and the wings obviously open up and the pilots module rotates. It can easily be displayed (I believe another reviewer begs to differ) The real fun I believe is in the Control Centre. Now this is fun! It includes sliding doors, a map of the Death Star orbiting Endor,a swivel chair and movable control pad. The red R2-D2 is a brillant addition as I now have many Blue R2-D2s. The only useless addition is the thingy-tool cart (What is It?) Worth the money for the Rebel Control Centre.
