LEGO Star Wars B-Wing Fighter

LEGO Star Wars B-Wing Fighter

Long-awaited by fans and collectors, this B-Wing fighter model is an excellent replica of the spaceship rebel forces used in Return of the Jedi’s Battle of Endor during the final defeat of the Death Star II and the Empire. A reissue of a formerly released B-Wing fighter set (7180), this ship is bigger than the original—standing 15 inches tall on the display stand--and has almost 100 more pieces (435 versus 338). Like the vessel in the movie, the fighter has wings that manually open from parallel to perpendicular and a rotating and self-leveling cockpit. Other features of the B-Wing include a hinged canopy on the cockpit and a missile launcher that shoots two missiles. A docking bay, which doubles as a display stand, holds the missiles and a selection of six tools. The set comes with two B-Wing pilot minifigs (Ten Numb and one unnamed pilot). These minifigs have flesh-toned skin instead of the more collectible yellow skin on the earlier Star Wars figures. Purists may also be disappointed that Lego includes decals to adhere to pieces in this set rather than going to the expense of painting designs directly on the bricks. The B-Wing fighter takes anywhere from two to four hours to build with some help from the illustrated instructions. The manual also contains a full inventory of all pieces with part numbers in case a piece is lost and builders need to order a replacement. --Cristina Vaamonde

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
