Awesome set that doesn't get enough credit!

Posted by WedgeAntilles in United States on 25 February 2009

This B-wing is a great set. It was my set that truely got me into buying larger sets (going on to buying the Y-wing, and $50+ sets) but I've got to say it's just one of the best. Great value of 435 pieces for only $35, two figures, and something one doesn't see too often--a landing bay! A true service bay that steadies the ship and displays it some kind of well. The ship itself is massive when the wings are spread out in their total glory, and strikes fear into any enemy pilots! The cockpit remains stable as the rest of the ship is rotating (true to the movie and EU description) and has 9 total guns, plus two rockets in the mid launcher (although they fall out extremely easily).

Build wise, this set contains mainly standard pieces (no technic here) besides the rubber band in the launcher, and is an easier job for regular builders (at the time I wasn't too nimble with my building skills just yet--it took me a good three hours). The minifigs are great with Ten Numb and a regular B-wing Rebel Pilot. Overall, I'd recommend this set because it's one of the most sturdy ships I own, has its own landing bay and display stand, includes rare minifigures, and has great playability. It was also cool to see it in true action in the Rogue Squadron game series. Gets a perfect score from me!

once i bought this set i knew it was a great investment and i wasn't wrong


the ships gyro cockpit works well and is the main feature of the ship it also have fireing missiles but theses do not work as well i really like the figures included in the set- rebal poilet and ten-numb this suprised me as numb pioleted the mellenium falcon with lando during the battle of endor

the set also comes with service area with ladders to make the ship acessible to the mini figs it spilts in half to get the ship out and also doubles up as a display stand

Great Set!

Posted by Danblom in United States on 20 November 2008

This is my first review! Ok to start, a wonderful sleek design, but the missile launcher doesn't shoot very well. Overall-

Pros.
-Good design
-Great Mini-figs
-Overall sturdy
-Good tool included with docking bay

Cons.
-poor control panel
-docking bay toters and leans if bumped
-relatively high price ($40 in us walmart!)

I would give this a 9/10

Fat, bulky but big!

Posted by X117JACK in United Kingdom on 31 October 2008

when folded up, it is too bulky and fat. it has good detail though and great figs, definatly an improvment to da old one which was skinny and fragile. but the old one had one better part/bit wateva u wanna call it. it had a small storage compartment that could fit an extra fig in it.

Lets just say it ended up in a stashed away box............................

Posted by sudorum in United States on 20 October 2008

So, this is what they stuff down our throats this time...a virtually useless and ultimately completely inaccurate set. (1) Easly destructible (2) Pod is small (3) Wings collapsable on touch (4) The missiles are so loose if you tip it a degree to the front, they will fall to the floor, then you will trip and hopefully sue the people responsible for this abomination. Goodbye and good luck spending $35 on something that you will end up crying yourself to sleep over for years to come.
P.S. I gave it a 2 because it looked accurate outside and a very very well construed docking bay.
