LEGO Star Wars 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter

LEGO set 10240, “Red Five X-Wing Starfighter”, depicts the Red Five X-Wing from the Star Wars theme. Released in 2013 as part of the Ultimate Collector Series, it contains 1558 pieces and includes 1 minifigure.

The model represents the X-Wing Starfighter from the Star Wars licence, presented as a collector focused build in the Ultimate Collector Series.

The build uses 1558 pieces to create a detailed vehicle, with the wing layout, engine sections and central fuselage forming the core of the model. Its contents are therefore centered on the starfighter itself rather than on a broader character selection.

This set is aimed mainly at Star Wars collectors and LEGO builders who want a display oriented spacecraft. It can still support careful play, but its place in the Ultimate Collector Series makes it best understood as a presentation model within the wider Star Wars range, especially when compared with smaller scene based sets.
