Brace yourselves, LEGO® and Star Wars fans! The modern UCS X-Wing Starfighter (set 75355) is now retired from LEGO.com, with its last US availability in February 2026, but if you’ve been eyeing a flagship Rebel build, this is still one worth hunting down for your collection.
Even with newer LEGO® Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series (UCS) heavy-hitters like the 75442 N-1 Starfighter (May 2026) and the 75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer (October 2026) now out, the UCS X-Wing Starfighter (set 75355) has cemented itself as a centerpiece build for fans of the galaxy far, far away. With a premium display-first finish, a massive silhouette, and that unmistakable T-65 profile, it’s the kind of set that doesn’t just sit on a shelf — it commands it.
LEGO® UCS 75355: X-Wing Starfighter Is Masterfully Designed
The LEGO® UCS X-Wing Starfighter (75355) is a significant upgrade over previous iterations of the legendary starfighter. With 1,949 pieces, this build is a big, detailed, display-ready take on the classic T-65 — and it’s easily one of the most satisfying Star Wars LEGO® builds to date. The set aims to capture the essence of the X-Wing with remarkable accuracy, making it a worthy addition to any LEGO® Star Wars collection.
The attention to detail is astonishing, with every curve and angle of the starfighter meticulously recreated using LEGO® bricks. The set features functional landing gear, as well as a stunningly accurate representation of the X-Wing’s four laser cannons. Additionally, the wings can be opened into attack position or closed for flight via a simple mechanism, adding another layer of playability to this collector’s piece. The X-Wing’s cockpit is equally impressive, featuring a highly detailed interior complete with controls, displays, and that “locked-in” pilot vibe.
The Minifigures Within The UCS X-Wing Fighter LEGO® Set
The set includes a specially designed Luke Skywalker™ minifigure in his Rebel pilot uniform, complete with a removable helmet and upgraded printing details. It’s a sharp minifigure that feels tailor-made for a premium UCS display — exactly what collectors want sitting next to a fact plaque and a clean stand.
In addition to Luke Skywalker™, the set also comes with an R2-D2™ droid figure that can be placed in the astromech slot located behind the cockpit. It’s one of those small touches that makes the whole build feel “complete” — because a proper X-Wing without its droid just isn’t the same.

As with previous UCS sets, the X-Wing Starfighter comes with a sleek display stand, allowing collectors to showcase their masterpiece with pride. The stand also includes a fact plaque detailing the X-Wing’s technical specifications and an exclusive nameplate vibe that screams “Ultimate Collector’s Series.”
Is The LEGO® UCS X-Wing Starfighter Retired?
Yes! Set 75355 was a LEGO® exclusive that launched in May 2023 at an MSRP (retail price) of $239.99, with VIP early access on 1 May and general release on 4 May. It retired around the turn of 2025/26, US availability ended in February 2026, and LEGO.com now lists it as a Retired Product. As of October 2026, sealed copies sell for roughly $218 to $250 on third-party platforms and used copies go for around $207.50 — so prices have stayed roughly flat near MSRP rather than climbing. And if you just want a current X-wing on shelves, set 75460 New Republic X-Wing Starfighter (2026) at $69.99 is a separate, much smaller non-UCS build.
The UCS X-Wing Starfighter is a landmark release in the world of LEGO® Star Wars. Its meticulous design, exclusive character lineup, and shelf-dominating presence make it a must-have for any serious collector. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to add this iconic starfighter to your collection, this is the kind of UCS set worth snagging on the secondary market while sealed copies still sit near the original $239.99 MSRP!
