Resistance X-wing Starfighter

"The 75297 Resistance X-wing earns a BrickScore of 43.2 and a Skip It verdict from all three expert reviewers, who unanimously called it overpriced at $19.99 and poorly proportioned as an X-wing replica. It works for its target age of 3 to 5, but buyers of any other profile have better options."

The 75297 Resistance X-wing Starfighter is a 4-plus entry-level set that all three expert reviewers recommended skipping, earning a BrickScore of 43.2 and placing in the Skip It tier. Critics at JANG's LEGO Reviews, Brickset, and Solid Brix Studios agreed the $19.99 price is overpriced for 60 pieces at $0.333 per piece, the cockpit design poorly represents the T-70 X-wing's profile, and better value alternatives exist for the target age range. The strikingly high owner average of 4.8 across 3,266 ratings reflects the set's genuine suitability for its intended audience: very young builders aged 3 to 5 who love the play experience, not collectors or older buyers evaluating accuracy and value.

Where they split: The most stark divergence in this batch: expert BrickScore of 42 (Skip It) versus owner average of 4.8 across 3,266 ratings. This is not a contradiction; it reflects two genuinely different audiences. Experts evaluated it as a product for the broader LEGO market and found it overpriced and inaccurate. Parents of very young children buying it for its intended purpose are largely satisfied. Both verdicts are correct for their context.
