Posted October 7, 20204 yr I created this and posted it online (mainly in FB groups, here on Eurobricks and Flickr) in December 2018 - based heavily on the old Lego 9493 X Wing Fighter, as that was the most recent X Wing model that I owned at the time...One year later in December 2019, Lego gave a similar looking ''Christmas themed X Wing Fighter'' to their staff as a Christmas gift which looks to be based more on the newer 75218 set. I emailed the Lego company asking if they'd been inspired by my idea and they replied with a polite 'no but we like yours more'... what do you guys think? :DThat Lego staff gift set is now changing hands for big bucks on the 2nd hand market, but at least you can now have instructions for the original for FREE as I've uploaded them onto Rebrickable!A lovely Christmas gift for any Star Wars Lego fan + a great display piece at Christmas to bring some Star Wars love to your living room :)
October 7, 20204 yr I absolutely love the Chrismas tree engines and the droid housing being made into a chimney. Amazing work!
October 7, 20204 yr "all wings report in" "Noel leader, standing by" "Noel 3, standing by" "Yuletide 4, standing by" Jokes aside, that's a great model! It's impressive that it's superior to the official one in some areas despite being based on the 2012 model instead of the 2018 one. Love the chimney for the R2 unit, are those reindeer antlers by the cockpit? @LEGODrongo01 we already have poe's 2015 x-wing, what more do we need? Edited October 8, 20204 yr by Mandalorianknight

November 6, 2024Nov 6 I just built a sort of rebrickable of the Yuletide X-wing, and I love it! But... I also like yours better and wish I had done mine more like yours. Kudos!
