The set 6212 X-Wing Fighter was released in 2006 as part of the Classic Star Wars line. Included are Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, Han Solo, Princess Leia, R2-D2, and Chewbacca minifigures. It is one of the only 2 sets to include Wedge Antilles. The X-Wing can be customized as Luke's Red 5 or Wedge's Red 2 X-Wing.

Notes

• The rare factory-error Princess Leia (As seen in the 10198 Tantive IV set) was also present in this set but wasn’t nearly as common. Because of this, the factory-error Princess Leia was also obtainable with her Hoth alternative Torso.
• Princess Leia's normal hair also does not match her torso piece; the hairpiece is from Episode IV (A New Hope), and the torso is from Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back).
• The set includes stands for the striped tiles that can be used to customize the fighter to be either Wedge's Red 2 or Luke's Red 5.
• Oddly, this set depicts Wedge's X-wing as being Red 3 instead of Red 2 (due to the number of red tiles the builder is instructed to put on the wings of the fighter). The instruction manual also incorrectly calls Wedge's fighter Red 3 instead of Red 2. Red 3 is actually Biggs Darklighter in the Star Wars universe.
• Even though this set was created in 2006, it hasn't been discontinued and is still up for purchase at Toy's R Us. This makes it by far the longest-running LEGO Star Wars set with a record of five years. It has been discontinued in the UK, although it can still be found in very few Toy's R Us stores in the US.
• Some of the sets have the newer Han Solo face rather than the older one. You can tell by the pupils.
