The verdict

The blue-and-white paint job is what got me here.

After years of the same grey-and-red Rebel X-wings, seeing the New Republic colors from The Mandalorian and Grogu snap together felt genuinely fresh. It is a lovely little playset with a satisfying wing-flip and three well-done figures, but at seventy dollars for 558 pieces you are paying a bit of a premium for the color novelty and the license. If you love the Mando corner of Star Wars and want an X-wing that does not look like every other X-wing on the shelf, this one is a keeper.

Best for: Mandalorian fans who want an X-wing that finally looks different

The full review

What it is

This is the New Republic X-wing from the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu film, and the very first thing you notice is that it is not the ship you have built a dozen times before. Instead of the grey hull and red stripes of Luke's fighter, you get a clean white body washed in New Republic blue, and honestly it woke the whole design up for me. It landed in April 2026 as one of the first sets tied to the movie, and at 558 pieces it sits right in that comfortable playscale where the figures fit in the cockpit and the wings actually snap open. There is a push-button mechanism that flips the S-foils into attack position, retractable landing gear, four stud shooters, a little ladder for the pilots, and a rear compartment for stowing gear. It is a proper playset, and a fun one.

The catch

I will be straight with you about the price, because most reviewers landed in the same spot. Seventy dollars for 558 pieces and three figures is on the steep side, especially when older X-wings gave you more brick for similar money. Some of that cost is the license and some is the novelty of the color scheme, and whether that math works depends entirely on how much you want this specific ship. The build itself is mostly straightforward with a couple of clever moments around the play features, but the area behind the S-foil mechanism feels thin on detail, the landing gear folds away awkwardly, and the astromech ends up perched a touch too high behind the canopy. A few of the stickers also do not quite match the plastic they sit on, which is a small thing that nags once you spot it.

Who it's for

So who is this really for? If you are deep into the Mandalorian side of Star Wars, or you just want an X-wing on the shelf that does not blend in with the others, you will get a lot of joy out of it. Kids will love the wing-flip and the shooters, and the two pilots (including one played by Sigourney Weaver in the film) give it real playroom appeal. If you already own two or three X-wings and you are chasing pure part-count value or fresh building techniques, I would think twice, because underneath the paint this is familiar territory. Buy it for the color and the character, not for the engineering.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one goes down easy. It is a couple of hours of relaxed assembly with the shaping of the nose and the S-foil frame doing most of the interesting work. The wing-flip mechanism is the standout technical moment, a genuinely satisfying press-and-snap that never felt fiddly, and the way the fuselage comes together around it is smart even if the final result reads a little bare in spots. Nothing here will stretch an experienced builder, but the playscale means every step actually adds up to something you want to swoosh around the room.

On the parts front the headline is color rather than new molds. The most notable fresh element is a Technic connector appearing in blue for the first time, a small recolor that parts collectors will note. The canopy is pad-printed rather than stickered, which is a real relief on a piece this prominent, though it carries a new part number despite looking much like earlier X-wing canopies. The three figures carry the new plastic that matters most: two new pilot helmets, reversible heads showing the visors up or down, and a brand-new unnamed New Republic astromech. It is a light haul of genuinely new pieces for the money, so the value here lives in the prints and the palette, not a bin of exciting new bricks.

Fun facts
