You know what? This has been my favorite Star Wars build. Most of the time I get the Star Wars sets just for the figures, and the build is an afterthought. In this set both the minifigs and build are great. The X-Wing is sturdy and doesn't even need rubber bands. Impressive. Love the shape and the proportions. The size is highly swooshable too. At $50 this set is a top buy.
Also thank you to the 2,000+ of you that voted asking for me to build the X-Wing as the next set. Excellent choice.
