LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Fighter (7140)
One of the most memorable starships inStar Wars, the T-65 X-Wing helped Luke  destroy the Death Star with a couple of well-placed proton torpedoes. This 263-piece set from LEGO lets  you build an 11-inch-long model of the legendary craft, authentically detailed from the flip-up cockpit to  the four, oversized laser cannons. It even has strike foils (those are wings, for you nonpilots) that really  collapse or expand to form an X. Who else is piloting this craft but the famed Skywalker himself, with a  little help from R2-D2. The set includes 1.75-inch-high figures of that duo, accompanied by a mysteriously  mustachioed alternate pilot. Could it be Biggs Darklighter?  And to look after the craft for you between  missions, there's a hard-working mechanic mini figure complete with a small train of maintenance carts.--Paul Hughes
