The first was #7140 in 1999 (reprised in 2002 with set #7142). Lego came out with set #4502 in 2003, and #6212 in 2006. The UCS kit, #7191, came out in 2000 and retailed for $150. [UCS are large and intricate, and are geared mainly toward collectors rather than for play.] This latest set arrived in January of 2012.This latest version is, arguably, the best of the non-UCS versions.

While it seems like sets have a lot more set-specific pieces than they used to, I believe this is an inevitable change in direction and does lend itself to more detailed and accurate models. With enough imagination, younger generations can still exercise their brains, assuming they can bear to break down the original model...oh wait, that's my problem :)Regarding the X-Wing: My first impression of this model was WOW! Since I came from a time before licensed properties made it into LEGO, I could only dream of having the right pieces to make an X-Wing that was as accurate as this model. While there are some stickers involved, most of the detail comes from the different colored/shaped LEGO bricks. The assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were as IKEA-like as I remember them being. The model itself is sturdy enough for play...
