Please, Let me X-Plane [76281 X-Men Jet – Review]

The final episode of the first season of X-Men’97 – an animated series on Disney Plusdrops today. Branko has taken a look at the latest version of the X-Men Jet. How does it shape up on its own, or in comparison with the previous version?

Today, we will be exploring one of the background heroes from the X-Men universe (X-maniverse?), the X-Men Jet. This jet shows up in many X-Men comics and movies but never really takes the lead. Like many X-Men characters, the jet changes appearance regularly, so we’ll have a look at how swooshable and showable this new jet is. In doing so, we will also compare it to a previous incarnation: 76022 X-Men vs The Sentinel.

This 76281 X-men jet contains 359 pieces retailing at AU$99.99/ £74.99/US$84.99/€84.99, which, let’s be plain, is expensive. The LEGO Group provided this set for review purposes. All opinions are our own. And that opinion is: It’s very expensive, but is there more?

What makes this Jet tick? Is it worth the upgrade if you already have the previous one? How about the mini figures? Do they offer anything special? Why don’t you come along for a meander across various aspects of this 76281 X-men jet after the break.
