The A-wing retired cleanly and carries the Star Wars name on an iconic design — that combo has historically been enough to push secondary market prices up, and this one earned its A- for a reason.

The Full Take
The A-wing has always been the scrappy underdog of the Rebel fleet, and this 2017 version captures that energy pretty well. Three minifigs at this price point is the kind of thing that makes you do a double-take on the box. The ship itself is clean — the wedge silhouette reads immediately on a shelf, and the cockpit detail holds up at this scale. Where it stumbles is in the build itself: 358 pieces don't push you very hard, and the experience wraps up before it really gets going. Still, for a displayable Star Wars icon that won't drain your wallet, the A-wing punches above its weight class. The B+ feels right — this is a set you're glad you own.
