Product Description

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool; highly recommended., November 5, 2001

Although Lego has shown a tendency to skimp on pieces in these Star Wars sets (to make them more affordable, I would guess, and to off-set the expense of all the new pieces that they include), the B-wing set is not a disappointment. Clever rotating cockpit with unique pilot figure, storage compartment, and articulating wings are good features, and the Rebel Control Center makes this a great set for kids with a limited collection. It is not just a bunch of random pieces; it really increases the playability. R2-style robot and technician are neat touches too. Anyone who complains that the kit isn't true to scale is missing the point; it is a little small, but all these mini-fig sets are toys, not models!
