A polybag X-wing for $6–7 is charming in theory, but this one stretches that goodwill thin — 87 pieces gets you a recognizable silhouette and not much else.
The parts alone are worth about 61% of the street price — the basis for this D price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $5 of parts for a $8 price.
The X-wing is one of the most iconic ships in fiction, so LEGO® returning to it for a polybag makes total sense. The problem is that at this scale and price, the model lands somewhere between 'desk trinket' and 'shelf filler' without fully committing to either. There are no minifigs to anchor it, the build clocks in under 90 pieces, and the finished model reads more as a sketch of an X-wing than a statement piece. The techniques aren't particularly inventive — it's a small set doing small-set things. For a C overall, that's about right: not offensive, not memorable. Star Wars fans who need to complete a polybag run will grab it; everyone else can probably pass.
