A holiday gift set LEGO® employees got to keep — that exclusivity is exactly why it's sitting at an A- hold rating despite middling piece-for-piece satisfaction.
Is the price fair?DNo retail price — it was never yours to buy.
Will you love it?CFestive and fun, but the novelty of the holiday theme is doing most of the heavy lifting.
Holds its value?A-Employee exclusives age well, and this one is already proving it with an 8.8 appreciation score.
The Full Take
The Christmas X-wing started life as a 2019 LEGO® employee gift, and that origin story shadows every other thing you can say about it. With only 1039 pieces and three minifigs, what you get on the table is fine — a festive spin on an iconic ship — but nothing that would turn heads at $60 on a shelf. The appreciation score of 8.8 tells the real story: scarcity built into the DNA of this set does more work than the designers did. It's a C+ experience wrapped in an A- investment case, which is an odd combination. Display collectors will find it charming but not jaw-dropping. Builders will move through it without a wow moment. The exclusivity carries more weight than the craft here.
