Lego questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Paulbot]

Anyone have (or can point me to a comparison) of the recent Lego X-Wings (Poe’s 75120 and Luke’s 75218)?

I have the TIE Fighter (75211) on my shelf and think it needs a companion. Luke’s makes sense as a pair, but I like Poe more.

I'm no Lego Star Wars afficionado but this review is pretty comprehensive, with a comparison of multiple X-wing models further down the page.


There's also this video but full disclosure I haven't actually watched it.

I have Poes and the older skywalker x wing. I know that there are a number of differences esecially in the back and the mechanism to open the wings. I really like Poes xwing so I never bothered with the new sky Walker one.

Thanks. That is helpful. Am leaning towards Luke’s and hoping to find it on special / clearance. Under $100 would be good.

Goodluck, Lego on sale is rare enough, unless they are the rubbish sets (the rathtar escape or half an imperial (first order) Walker sets.

I was hoping to find some older sets on sale at some regional toy stores but no luck... also no luck with the new 2019 sets either. Seems we will be waiting till late feb again.

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take for 2019 sets to show up at retail? I'm after the Speed Champions sets for 2019.

According to the Autobub's now very worn out 2019 catalogue, the Speed sets are due out in March.

Really? They are available now according to Lego's own website.

The new one and the Poe one look very similar I would think it's mainly the colours and they probably are built almost the same. The new Luke one has been on sale very recently close to $100 I think, check the usual suspects
