![]() Unfortunately a lot of LEGO fans and Star Wars fans in general will be less enthused, as this great set is extremely limited in its release. Im sure anyone who is a LEGO employee will be very happy with their free gift from the company. The wing-opening mechanism in the Yuletide X-Wing is simple but effective. The hand in the instructions is not to scale!Įssentially, the X-wing itself is similar to 75218 X-wing Starfighter but in Christmas colours with a few wing and accessory changes. You can just see the 1x1 plate with lamp holder in White under the long Red sloped elements and this is where the presents can be attached to gift-bomb those children on the 'good list'. The nose section continues the Warm Gold, Bright Red and White theme and on either side of the hull, Technic axles are positioned to allow the wings to be slotted into place. As mentioned the use of Plate 1X3 W/ 2 Knobs in Bright Yellow is not important as any colour would work. The nose section uses the same angled construction as the previous X-wing from 2018 with a central Technic support. Tube in Bright Yellow in position at the front of the cockpit section, where any colour could be used with no visible difference in the final model. The cockpit and wing mechanism are the first parts to be built. But let's step back a moment and actually build that X-Wing! No, actually it is a nice stand for your completed X-Wing to rest upon in a swooshably angled, Christmas present attack position. Is is an antenna? A radar? A surface-to-air missile platform to bring down errant sleighs? The completed Master Elf Yoda workshop includes a couple of trees, torches, some festive decorations and an interesting Technic protrusion from the roof. Plate 3x3 in Bright Red (6217123|11212) has appeared in five sets across 20, including the two required for Speed Champions set 75886 Ferrari 488 GT3 Scuderia Corsa.Bow Window with Spokes in White (6173064|20309) has appeared in three different sets, most notably 75218 X-wing Starfighter which used 12 of this element in its construction.Again, it is used internally and it is completely unseen in the final model so there is no need to use this particular colour unless you are very committed to matching all the elements. Plate 1X3 W/ 2 Knobs in Bright Yellow (6228602|34103) has only appeared in two previous sets: 21311 Voltron from 2018, and 60203 Ski Resort released in September 2019.It contains four but only one is required in the Yuletide X-wing and it is not even visible in the final model as it hides inside the nose. ![]() Tube in Bright Yellow/ Yellow (6247387|32530) has only appeared in one previous set, also from 2019: 60222 Snow Groomer. This element is actually the same element that was supplied with the Birthday Party Boy in Series 18 Collectible Minifigures in 2018 but his version was red with a blue striped pattern.
