Inside the Media Room - Lego Star Wars - X-Wing Build

So after the Tie Fighter was finished and the Jays game was well underway and we're leading on that front.  Time to start the X-Wing Build.

That's exciting and all, but let's take a look at what's in there.

Alrighty, we all know what we need to do here.  Let's get started and see what's in that first bag and what Mini-Figures come with this kit. Note the glass of Zingy Zaps and Skittles.  It truly was a perfect afternoon all around.  The Jays won the game!

Some very cool Mini-Figures in this one.

Let's see the body of the X-Wing after that first bag.

Check out the contents of bags 2 and 3.

After that third bag, the body is pretty much done.

Bags 4 and 5 are the same and they each build 2 Wing Segments.

Completed Wing.

And the completed X-Wing.

And with expanded Wings, don't worry about poor R2.  That's my lone disappointment with the kit.  It should really come with some bricks so you can display it with the wings expanded.

Inside the Media Room - Lego Star Wars - Tie Fighter Build

Yesterday I stopped by my local Chapters to pick up a couple of Lego Star Wars since they had a sale on and I figured I wouldn't get another chance to get such good prices on these, I had to pick them up.

The Blue Jays first Spring Training game was on the radio so it was the making of a great afternoon.

First off I started with the Tie Fighter kit.

Here's the box.

Enough of the box, let's rip this open and empty the contents on the table and get started.

Let's get that first bag on the table and sorted, ready for some build action.

First off, I had to build the included Mini-Figures.

The first bag has been completed, it builds the body of the Tie Fighter.

Let's open that door.

Let's get those wings started.

Finished Wing.

And finally, 1 finished Tie Fighter.
