A few times a year LEGO sends out a community survey to various LEGO User Groups and fan-sites asking them to encourage their members to complete an online survey. This is your chance to share valuable information with LEGO so they can continue improving their products and services. 🙂
LEGO is particularly enthusiastic to reach as many adult LEGO fans as possible to take the survey and help them with their market-research, so please let your friends and family who are into LEGO know about the survey too. Here are the LEGO survey details:
Dear AFOL community,
We want your help to understand how we can best support and improve the LEGO fan community.
To learn more about the adult LEGO fan community, we distribute a survey 4 times a year. The surveys help us understand what you and your fellow AFOLs are engaged in, what you think of your LEGO hobby, and how you perceive the LEGO brand. Survey results guide our team at the LEGO Group as we work to better support the fan community. As such, the surveys help us decide where to spend our time and money.
After the survey we will provide the LEGO Ambassadors with a brief description of the general findings. The findings will then be shared broadly with the adult LEGO fan community.
Please note that the survey will only be accessible until April 18th. Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Tormod Askildsen – Head of the LEGO Community Engagement & Events team, Jan Beyer – Community Operations Manager EU/Asia, Kevin Hinkle – Community Coordinator AMS, Kim Ellekjær Thomsen – Community Coordinator

One of my favorite LEGO Star Wars sets is the #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-wing Starfighter. The X-wing came out in early 2012, so it is not one of the newest sets, but it is definitely one of the most iconic fighters from the LEGO Star Wars collection. I got the LEGO Star Wars X-wing Starfighter for Christmas and it took me about two hours to put together. I had lots of fun with it, so I thought to share my thoughts and review with you. 🙂
First of all, here is the official description:Lead the Rebels into intergalactic battle with the X-Wing Starfighter! Featuring wings that fold into attack mode, proton torpedoes, retractable landing gear and opening cockpit, this most iconic vehicle of the Star Wars universe returns to turn the tide in the battle against the evil Empire!
Includes 4 minifigs: Luke Skywalker, new Jek Porkins, R2-D2 and R5-D8
Includes 1 blaster, and 1 Lightsaber for the minifigures
X-wing Starfighter features retractable landing-gear, 2 proton torpedoes, opening cockpit and wings that fold into attack-mode
Extra wing-markings also included
Set the wings to attack mode!
X-Wing Starfighter measures over 12” (33cm) long
I would like to add that this is a 560 piece-count set, with a regular price of $59.99, which is not bad at all for one of the most recognizable Star Wars starfighters. (And it is right now 25% off sale on Amazon.com, but I will tell you about that later.)
Besides being solidly built and swoosh-able like the previous versions, there are some features that did improve on the #9493 LEGO X-wing; my favorite being the gear at the back to open up the wings for attack-mode – it is a lot easier to operate then on previous versions. 😀
There are four minifigures included with the LEGO Star Wars X-wing Starfighter. Luke Skywalker has a brand new suit (with front and back printing and helmet – both very detailed. Jek Porkins is a first-time release and unique to this set. His torso printing is the same as Luke’s, but his helmet has different printing. R2-D2 is standard, but the other droid R5-D8 is a first-time release, and also unique to this set. (Photo by FBTB.net)
Overall this is a great LEGO Star Wars set, especially for fans of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I would rate it five out of five stars, and the minifigures are also awesome (two of them being unique to this set.) And if you want to build up a battle-scene there are three sets that would go well with the LEGO X-Wing Starfighter; the #7965 LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon, the #9492 LEGO Star Wars TIE-fighter, and the #9495 Gold Leader’s Y-wing Starfighter.
The #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-wing Starfighter is available at the Online LEGO Shop, and also currently available on Amazon for 25% off the regular price. So if you wanted to pick one up, or build a whole fleet of X-wings, this is the time! Amazon also offers free shipping for orders over $25 and no tax to most states: BUY LEGO STAR WARS X-WING ON AMAZON
