"The X-Men X-Jet earns a middling BrickScore of 47 — both reviewers call it an overpriced, corner-cutting set that squanders the excitement of the X-Men '97 revival, with cut-rate minifigure printing and a simple build that simply don't justify the steep price tag at retail."
Both reviewers agree that the X-Men X-Jet is a disappointing, overpriced set that fails to live up to the excitement of the X-Men '97 tie-in.

Both reviewers recommend waiting for a sale.
Where they split: The two reviewers diverge in degree of criticism. The Brothers Brick found genuine merit in the engineering, praised Rogue, and called it "good" overall — just not worth full price. Hoth Bricks was harsher, dismissing it as a "modest children's toy" that "does not stand out on anything notable" and calling it "disappointing on several points techniques." The Brothers Brick skewed toward a collector audience finding some value; Hoth Bricks assessed it as failing both kids and fans.
