The movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released two weeks ago and it was fantastic. The characters and the ships all looked amazing. Seeing the movie made me really want to get the Lego U-wing, and I did just that! It took me around a hour and thirty minutes to build. I started by building the minifigures.
I started off by building Jyn Urso. She comes with a helmet, a satchel, a blaster, a big gun, and a parka. Jyn also has two faces, one calm and one angry. I like having her minifigure, but she doesn't come with a hair piece, so you have to keep her helmet on the whole time you play with her which takes away from the experience a bit. Next, I built Cassian Andor. He comes with a blaster and a hair piece. Cassian also come with two faces, one smug and one serious. After Cassian, I built the rebel trooper. He comes with a helmet and a blasster. He only comes with one face, an angry face. His detailing on his body makes him look well-equipped for battle. The minifigure I worked on after the trooper was the U-Wing pilot. He comes with a helmet and a small pistol. The pilot also comes with two faces, one happy and one scared. The last minifigure I worked on was Bistan. He was the space monkey who shot at the enemy from the U-Wing in the movie. His head piece is unique and is one big piece. Bistan comes with his head-piece and a blaster. Overall, the minifigures in this set are amazing and this is currently the only set where you can get all of these minifigures.
After the minifigures, I built the U-Wing. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Some of its features include: minifigure cockpit, opening side doors with pull-out stud shooters, rear storage,two spring-loaded shooters, and huge wings that can be swept back for atmospheric flight. There are a couple of stickers that if not aligned, make the ship look asymmetrical. The only thing that would have made this ship better was if there was easier access to the holding area under the cockpit. The U-Wing is fun to play with and looks amazing when displayed.
The entire set is fantastic. All of the minifigures are exclusive to this set and the U-Wing has a unique look to it compared to all of the other Star Wars ships. This set in addition to the other Rogue One sets makes one of the coolest Star Wars collections. You can recreate many different scenes with this set or make up some of your own. As well as playing with the set, the U-Wing and its crew looks amazing when displayed. The price-to-piece ratio is a little high, but you get 5 minifigures and a large ship. I would rate this set 5/5. I hope this review was helpful to all who read it and that you continue to love LEGOS!
