I wouldn’t leave it there. I recommend using some fishing line and a tack to suspend the TIE Fighter from the ceiling. Make it look like it’s hovering over your Xbox
You can tie them to the roof, people have been doing it with model planes for the longest, most hobby shops I’ve been to have large rc planes on the roof
Use around 3 lines to relieve stress, since a standard one can be rated for 85lbs (as stated in a previous comment), but not constantly. A fishing line is only dealt with tension when, well, you catch a fish. It is not reliable for the constant pull of lets say 21 pounds, as well as the eventual degredation of the plastic. For this reason I say use around 3 to dissipate weight between them, only putting 7-8 pounds of stress per line. Of course this can be done with a special hanger, but it will not have the same look. So go with whatever you deem cooler/safer!
No but I had the Justifier and I felt it wouldn't be as appreciated hung up. The thing is with big sets; they look better from above. Hanging it up makes it so you've gotta see the underbelly of it, which isn't as bad for small sets
Except for the Series X they specifically said they expected people to maybe put magazines on top. That's why the slit in the back of the fan area exists. It doesn't provide optimal airflow but according to them enough to not overheat the console.
Yeah exactly, it's more a problem for the model than the console. The Xbox might just run the fans a little faster, but the bricks will get ruined after a while.
With heat and LEGO it’s not brittleness you have to worry about but “clutch”, the bricks are made to be slightly smaller on the inside than the stud is, so that they grip tighter, but if you heat up a built set you can be letting the bricks reform into a stretched out shape that has no clutch.
Cool decal on the Xbox, my guy!
Directly on/above the Xbox and the heat could warp the plastic over time.
Suspend it some distance above the Xbox like others suggested so the heat becomes less of an issue.
Yo dude I built the same Tie Fighter last weekend and also got this lighting kit for it: https://a.co/d/9oEK0SJ
Came out cool as fuck so I wanted to spread the word

Thanks guys, i rearranged. Makes more sense anyways. I might still hang the Tie Fighter with fishing line as some of you suggested
I've had this Luffy Gear 4 statue on my Series X for roughly 2 years & the model has never had any issue & the Xbox has never gotten any hotter or louder since putting it on top of there so I would assume your Lego piece will be alright
The Xbox will be fine that’s enough airflow since it’s pretty open. I’d be more worried about putting a lot of hot air on the legos though I don’t know much about legos durability.
> but it will be running slightly hotter than it needs to
Lol no, that more than enough space to not affect airflow in the slightest. If anything this would be bad for the Lego model.
Jakks Pacific 71464 - Darth Vader 50 cm https://amzn.eu/d/a07qyGo
From German Amazon 6 or 7 years ago. Hope it helps. The figure is really nice, i love it
Depends how hot the air it exhausts is. I had models over my pc for years with no noticeable issues except that the heat helps cake on dust if you dont clean them every now and then. I now have hallmark cards over the top.
Edit: I don't let my gpu get hotter than 75C (167F) and I don't let my cpu get hotter than 65C (159F). But even then it normally operates 5-10 degrees below that at max unless I'm playing total war or some other game that's demanding or unoptimized
Hang it from the ceiling with fishing line. It’ll look 100x cooler and the legos won’t get cooked and break. Xbox shouldn’t have any issues, but legos don’t do well with heat
For the console yes for the lego plastic I don't think so the heat from the vent over time. It might expand the plastic bricks and cause the model to fall apart. If it was me I would put a self above the console for such things.
The Xbox will be absolutely fine. The tie fighter might get realllllly warm though. I don't know if it will be enough to melt the Lego pieces but it could ruin the decals
The heat from your Xbox will melt the ship, causing liquid plastic to seep into the vents and causing your Xbox to overheat and catch on fire and burn your house down.
The console puts out around 43⁰c during long gaming sessions. Covering those holes won't affect airflow as the fan is smaller than the top. But the heat could cause issues with the Lego over time.
The setup looks good, I'd leave it if the Legos aren't a concern.
Idk what heat people are talking about, my Xbox X literally never gets even remotely hot and I leave it on multiple days at a time sometimes. I play all the high demanding games, everything. I highly doubt it would have any effect on those legos whatsoever.
“Will my fragile LEGO Tie Fighter that’s already hanging off the edge of my Xbox be fine here permanently?”
Yeah dude it’s totally fine. I can’t possibly imagine what could go wrong in this scenario
I would say it should be fine as far as ventilation but I still wouldn’t put it up there because It looks like it could fall off pretty easily and I’ve heard the Xbox runs pretty hot so it may even warp the tie fighter but maybe just check what temps the legos can handle but as far as for the Xbox temps it shouldn’t make much of a difference because I’m pretty sure it can handle the heat they’re pretty stout for the price point
It won't immediately mess with it but it isn't a smart idea as it isn't just blocking holes but also creating an area where the air cannot flow up and away, both due to the wings trapping the flowing air from going wide and the cockpit blocking the air that goes up. Might not notice it overall until doing demanding games but it is still a risk of causing issues.
Oh man!!! I'm so sorry. That's not gonna work at all. You should probably just send it to me and I'll take better care of it..... It doesn't look like it's blocking air flow however the weight might be pushing the plastic fan cover against the fan slowing it down if not helping to burn out the fan motor.... It's nice though.
I used to have mine barely obstructed, less than yours probably and it gave me a heat warning. Like one guy said, you might try to suspend it above the xbox with some line to keep the airflow.
I wouldn’t leave it there. I recommend using some fishing line and a tack to suspend the TIE Fighter from the ceiling. Make it look like it’s hovering over your Xbox
Sweet Idea, might do that
I do that with all my ships. I use hooks and fishing line, does look really wicked. Had it up for years with no worries
Have you done it with any bigger ones? Have a UCS Venator that would look beautiful in flight
People usually make special hangers on a wall for ships that size. Otherwise it might just fall.
You can tie them to the roof, people have been doing it with model planes for the longest, most hobby shops I’ve been to have large rc planes on the roof

So go with whatever you deem cooler/safer!
I just re tie my hook/lure after 2-3 catches
My fishing line is rated to resist 85lbs. I think you'll be ok as long as the hooks are secured.
Make sure you hit a joist or use a drywall anchor if you live where that's applicable.
Yeah, this is how Boeings fly. They are just hung up from the clouds with fishing string.
They have crazy strong fishing line these days.
No but I had the Justifier and I felt it wouldn't be as appreciated hung up. The thing is with big sets; they look better from above. Hanging it up makes it so you've gotta see the underbelly of it, which isn't as bad for small sets
Working on a Venator currently, and I am loving the build
You can also tie a knot and clip it between parts so there isn’t any visible hook or tie.
My cat would destroy that

Oh nice, thanks kind stranger
Engineerds don't typically plan for people to obstruct air flow. Not even a little. Not worth risking it.
Except for the Series X they specifically said they expected people to maybe put magazines on top. That's why the slit in the back of the fan area exists. It doesn't provide optimal airflow but according to them enough to not overheat the console.
Where did they say this?
Say if you've done it, wanna know how it would look
Might? You must now!
Seems like an excellent idea! Although I’d be careful having it around small children or cats. Otherwise seems legit
Yea do that. The LEGO'S might warp with time from the heat. The console should be fine but the model might not.
considering the air that comes from the top on the thing I am surprised it don't float on its own
I would use something more than a thumb tack like some sort of ceiling hook, but yes, cool idea.
YOOOOO! THANKS FOR THE IDEA.
This is the way
[удалено]
It’s not over time or an Xbox. It’s over an Xbox series X.
It's just over, it was good while it lasted
Now this man knows how to comment!
And this man does not
Don't do it, the Xbox might be fine but it'll ruin the LEGOs. The heat will make then brittle and they'll break over time.
Yeah exactly, it's more a problem for the model than the console. The Xbox might just run the fans a little faster, but the bricks will get ruined after a while.
This was my thought. Not about the xbox overheating but the plastic overheating
I actually doubt it would get that hot, but the constant heating and cooling will probably wiggle pieces loose.
Wouldn't want brittle bricks shattering into the Xbox either.
With heat and LEGO it’s not brittleness you have to worry about but “clutch”, the bricks are made to be slightly smaller on the inside than the stud is, so that they grip tighter, but if you heat up a built set you can be letting the bricks reform into a stretched out shape that has no clutch.
Not sure but it sure ties the room together
Haha "ties" tie fighter, i see what you did there
People didn't like my pun apparently
They're fighting the laugher.
They're tie fighting the laughter

AND A GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!
As long as you don’t own a cat, then yes.
Maybe not so good for the Legos.
I wouldn’t do it..that thing puts out some pretty serious heat during some games
Cool decal on the Xbox, my guy! Directly on/above the Xbox and the heat could warp the plastic over time. Suspend it some distance above the Xbox like others suggested so the heat becomes less of an issue.
No, your Xbox is made of lava.
If my Xbox was really made of lava, how do you explain that I am walking over it every day without melting
Yo dude I built the same Tie Fighter last weekend and also got this lighting kit for it: https://a.co/d/9oEK0SJ Came out cool as fuck so I wanted to spread the word
Thats dope, thanks!
Love the sticker on the series x. What is it ?
Thanks bud. Got it from this store https://de.easyskinz.com/collections/xbox-series-x
Bad for bricks, Xbox would be completely fine.
Seems fine, it’s not majorly blocking airflow. Sick wrap, I like it.
It's unlikely to be an issue but also unnecessary
Sweet sticker
No cats?
Nope. Doggo but she is not allowed in this room
Oh yeah you’re big chilling I think it’ll be fine
Yea. Plenty of air still
https://preview.redd.it/wo8dm0c2wdnc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c172b03f8a22fcb17f20af9587f029f36d578f0 Thanks guys, i rearranged. Makes more sense anyways. I might still hang the Tie Fighter with fishing line as some of you suggested

i don't think it'll be that bad for airflow but i personally think it would look better somewhere else rather than on top of an xbox
Dude nice Xbox skin
That’s cool looking Xbox 👍🏼
That’s pretty sick
LoL. This is my setup. https://preview.redd.it/q0oa0doeufnc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49c88434ca43f7fd7f0f8b3a573a872bfc4b0e7c
The Xbox will be fine that’s enough airflow since it’s pretty open. I’d be more worried about putting a lot of hot air on the legos though I don’t know much about legos durability.
Yeah bro, it won't melt for sure
Honestly? No. Your Xbox probably won't explode but it will be running slightly hotter than it needs to. Do you really need to put that there?
> but it will be running slightly hotter than it needs to Lol no, that more than enough space to not affect airflow in the slightest. If anything this would be bad for the Lego model.
No it definitely effects airflow, anything above it does
No, not really. My room is stuffed though, shelfs are full. But i can of course rearrange
What’s that Vader figure? Got a link?

Yes it will be fine
Unlikely has no shields
Hang it from the ceiling with fishing line. It’ll look 100x cooler and the legos won’t get cooked and break. Xbox shouldn’t have any issues, but legos don’t do well with heat
It won’t it will get frozen from your mini refrigerator💀
Star Wars fans will appreciate it
For the console yes for the lego plastic I don't think so the heat from the vent over time. It might expand the plastic bricks and cause the model to fall apart. If it was me I would put a self above the console for such things.
The lego will melt
The Xbox will be absolutely fine. The tie fighter might get realllllly warm though. I don't know if it will be enough to melt the Lego pieces but it could ruin the decals
If you go with fishing line I recommend 10-12lb test fluorocarbon. It's the most invisible compared to braid or monofilament.
Should be fine, but I wouldn’t recommend. The top exhausts a lot of hot air that could cause some damage over time.
This xbox is so beautiful
Xbox will be fine but idk if the legos will hold up over the long term
The heat from your Xbox will melt the ship, causing liquid plastic to seep into the vents and causing your Xbox to overheat and catch on fire and burn your house down.
nope
Don't listen to the peeps in the comments. It's gonna be fine. Unless you're restricting 50%+ of the exit, it won't do anything.
No, it will absolutely melt everywhere and set the entire world on fire.
Not recommended but it's fine someone strsss tested the xbox and taped it to vent completely off and the xbox still got sufficient air flow
I kinda did the similar thing. I put a foam plane above my Series X. Now, it slightly spins around. It's underwhelming, but I still like it.
Probably
The console puts out around 43⁰c during long gaming sessions. Covering those holes won't affect airflow as the fan is smaller than the top. But the heat could cause issues with the Lego over time. The setup looks good, I'd leave it if the Legos aren't a concern.
Yes, yes it will
I would probably melt the Lego’s plastic and overtime so ya no not a good idea
No it won't, my bank account was destroyed buying bloody Star Wars Lego 😞
Yes
Ayo
Unlikely to cause issues though as others have said it'll probably mess up the Lego.
Why does it need to be on or above you xbox? Just curious to the need of such placement. Anyway... no, wouldn't recommend leaving it there
Idk what heat people are talking about, my Xbox X literally never gets even remotely hot and I leave it on multiple days at a time sometimes. I play all the high demanding games, everything. I highly doubt it would have any effect on those legos whatsoever.
I'd be more worried about the cracking on the Xbox. Looks like it's red hot on the inside and about to blow.
Nope. Gonna explode.
That is legitimately fine.
Thats one fine lookin xbox
It will never float/flight over the Xbox if that's what you're asking
“Will my fragile LEGO Tie Fighter that’s already hanging off the edge of my Xbox be fine here permanently?” Yeah dude it’s totally fine. I can’t possibly imagine what could go wrong in this scenario
How did you get that Xbox design?? Please tell me!!
Bought it here https://de.easyskinz.com/collections/xbox-series-x?shpxid=289811cd-12d4-4bc1-9024-152c4beba27a
I don't pay with euros I pay with USD
i have that same red five helmet
Nice box
defenitly will explode
I do something similar with my series s and it works fine
I mean for the Xbox yeah, they don’t really sweat these things, the legos might go through it tho
Yes, your LEGO will not melt, nor spontaneously disassemble.
One stomp away from falling
Dude?!! Where did you get that series x wrap my god i didn't know this was a thing!
Got it from a store called easyskinz
I would say it should be fine as far as ventilation but I still wouldn’t put it up there because It looks like it could fall off pretty easily and I’ve heard the Xbox runs pretty hot so it may even warp the tie fighter but maybe just check what temps the legos can handle but as far as for the Xbox temps it shouldn’t make much of a difference because I’m pretty sure it can handle the heat they’re pretty stout for the price point
Hang it from the ceiling with fishing line. It looks like it's flying
Is that porn on the TV?
Looks like soccer.
Right. Wait. Am I the only one who jerks off to soccer?
Gary Lineker was quite fetching back in the day.
Correct, its football
It’s fine haha
Just place it horizontally and will be fine. I've heard, placing series x vertically may messed-up processor, because of heat.
not a great idea. the model also obstructs airflow in the cross-section. there shouldn't be anything within ~6" of a ventilation point
Oh shit, a strand of hair was blocking my Xbox, world is over, everything is dead
True story?
yea my xbox just exploded
I mean it doesn’t look good there. So not even sure why you would place it there in the 1st place.
The other commenters fishing line idea is genuinely better, but I don't think this would be that bad if you're attached to it.
It would be VERY bad to whatever is put over the SeriesX exhaust vents.
Is that a special edition XSX or you wrapped it? Seriously why am I getting downvoted for asking this question...?
Because Reddit  its a trap, errr wrap
It’s most likely wrapped.
Hard to tell by the picture, but it may be too close to the wall as well.
Technically no problem at all, but aesthetically it’s actually horrendous.
Jeez, calm down
It won't immediately mess with it but it isn't a smart idea as it isn't just blocking holes but also creating an area where the air cannot flow up and away, both due to the wings trapping the flowing air from going wide and the cockpit blocking the air that goes up. Might not notice it overall until doing demanding games but it is still a risk of causing issues.

I honestly didn’t even mean to do this lol mb guys
Entropy comes for us all
wow
No. Were all gamers and we should all know after one really bad game we might... smash the desk
I mean, this is fine for now, but there is a good chance that you could die in your 70’s.
Oh man!!! I'm so sorry. That's not gonna work at all. You should probably just send it to me and I'll take better care of it..... It doesn't look like it's blocking air flow however the weight might be pushing the plastic fan cover against the fan slowing it down if not helping to burn out the fan motor.... It's nice though.
It can restrict flow but thats cool as hell
No it will explode
No, will explode and destroy human life.
until it starts hovering 
If you have to ask, it’s probably not okay.
I'd say no. It's close enough to somewhat interrupt the airflow.
I used to have mine barely obstructed, less than yours probably and it gave me a heat warning. Like one guy said, you might try to suspend it above the xbox with some line to keep the airflow.
I don't think you should do that honestly
Is very touchy about cooling so d9nt risk it mines dead from that
I mean the dark side and the rebel alliance won't ever be "fine"
Move it before you burn down your house
