Head-to-head
LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter (UCS) vs LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett's Starship
Both built. Both reviewed. Here's how they actually compare on the things that matter.
Set #75275
LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter (UCS)
The fastest Rebel fighter in the fleet, in UCS scale. Now retired and rising on the secondary market — and still one of the prettiest UCS ships ever made.
Set #75312
LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett's Starship
Boba Fett's ship at affordable scale. Smaller than the [UCS Slave I](/reviews/slave-i), bigger than a starter set — the right Boba Fett ship for most builders.
