# Detailed LEGO Spaceships This 1,158 Piece LEGO X-Wing Set is Right Out of Star Wars By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-02-15 | Updated 2013-02-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-xwing References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5984643/the-most-accurate-and-awesome-lego-x) & [brothers-brick](http://www.brothers-brick.com/2013/02/15/new-lego-star-wars-ucs-set-10240-red-five-x-wing-starfighter-news/) Nerdy building block projects don't come any more detailed and fantastic than this new [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star) X-Wing set. This LEGO set is meant for the serious collector and Star Wars connoisseur. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen a LEGO set with a recommended age of 16+ printed on the box, which somehow means that this LEGO set is less child-appropriate than some incredibly gruesome PG-13 horror movies. For the inner-child supporting adults out there, this 1,558 piece set will likely take a good amount time to put together. You hope it would, considering that the set goes for a rather steep $200, which is actually a significant price drop from the previous LEGO X-Wing set now sells for an exhorbitant $1,300 on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypegolf-japan) now. After the construction is done, this incredibly detailed LEGO X-Wing will be ready for a Death Star trench run or the slightly less dangerous mission of being an awesome display piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Detailed LEGO Sets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more complex and intricate LEGO sets targeting serious collectors and adult fans. - **Nerdy Building Block Projects:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create building block projects that cater to niche interests and fandoms, appealing to dedicated enthusiasts. - **Premium Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and produce high-end collectibles for adults, offering unique and valuable items for collectors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative techniques and materials into toy manufacturing to create highly detailed and intricate products. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with entertainment franchises to develop premium merchandise that caters to adult fans and collectors. - **Niche Hobby Market:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into niche hobbies and interests to create specialized products that resonate with dedicated enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Large-Scale Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cruiser Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venator-attack.md) - [Sophisticated Sci-Fi Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ultimate-collectors-series-atat.md) - [Sci-Fi Movie Scene Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-death-star-trash-compactor-diorama.md) - [Thematic Sci-Fi Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ahsoka-lego-star-wars.md) - [Celebratory Sci-Fi Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-star-wars-25th-anniversary.md) - [Galactic Build Milestones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-uss.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise Logo Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbuilt-star-wars-logo.md) - [Legacy Building Block Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-explorer.md)
