The Force is with Lego

Since 1999 and the first Lego X-Wing (7140), I knew that one day I would have one. I got it. And so is the 9493 model in 2012.
Hunter mythical Star Wars Lego model that is at the height of the original:
- Fine achievement, beautiful design, beautiful colors, beautiful proportions of the nose, wings and cockpit.
- Compact and very playable model, no falls or detaching parts.
- Opening / closing ergonomic wings during the game, with an elastic system that keeps the wings on each side and an opening of the wings by rotating a propeller at the back which causes the rotation of a piece between each pair of wings spreading the. Mechanism of opening and closing net.
- The minifigures: superb quality, fine detail in the combinations of flights and the droids. Those who have little Star Wars sets will surely be happy to get Luke dressed in pilot or R2D2, but those who already have the pleasure of having other Luke will be very happy to get Jek Porkins and R5D8 his astromech, 2 unpublished minifig, exclusive to this set. I wish I had Wedge, present in the previous X-Wing 2006 (6212).
- The construction does not pose any particular problems, the assembly of the wings is a little repetitive but fast enough not to become boring

Some small flat because nothing is perfect, not even the X-Wing:
- Stickers, forever! Here spoils the quality of finish when like me you are not able to position them perfectly, especially those wings (red and white stripes) were not helpful and "flat tiles 1x1" in red and white alternation would have done the trick.
- The elastic system ... no elastic parts in the box. If the elastic age badly to use, I do not know if it is easy to find others in their stead.

Otherwise, insert your headphones on your head, go forth and have fun with this superb model.
