![]() ![]() I really wish there was an extra helmet for Leia. The figures, for the most part, are nice. Despite the wing undersides and the closing canopy, it's a really nice set. Ok, maybe not that bad, but the most attractive way to display it will take a lof of clear bricks that are not included to make it display prettily. The underside of the wings are ugly, kind of like an inside out sausage. You see the underside of the wings when it is in the parked or resting position. With the wings up, the bloom sort of comes off the rose. With the wings down, it is a beautiful thing. I did not take a picture of the brick separator, but rest assured there is one. There were some extra pieces, including a cookie and a Thermal Detonator. Maybe I was disenchanted with this portion, because the cockpit canopy cannot stay open. Maybe it's the dark brown, or the weird paint details. The Han is nice, but Chewbacca's a little bit off. I don't know if I was tired by this point, or if the cockpit design just wasn't that inspired, but compared to the rest, it wasn't a terribly exciting finish. The wings weren't terribly complex, but they were time consuming due to size.īag 6: Probably the smallest and most disappointing of the bags. You make some panels for the body that pivot up and down to reveal the interior of the shuttle. Plus, you get Princess Leia and her cookie.īag 5: This bag is the biggest one in the set because you are making the wings and finishing the body of the shuttle. The fin just slots right into the top before you pin it in place. It is solid, it is large and in charge, and take it from me, make sure you attach everything in the right direction so that the pin holes line up, because getting it back apart to fix a minor mistake is a giant pain. The bag finishes adding some details to the body, including guns.īag 4: The fin. You must flip this down in order the lower the ramp. The hatch I mentioned before has a piece on a hinge that will prevent it from lowering on its own. ![]() The landing struts are linked and will move up and down in tandem. I don't know why they went with the 2 2x4 tiles that will soon be hidden. If you look in the second image below, you can see the Technic Pin Connector (62462) that is used as the trigger to fire the missile.īag 3: The first thing I want to make note of is how cool and SNOT the engines of this ship are and how it's a whole panel that's attached to the back. They ratchet up and down individually and you fairly successfully disguise the spring missile shooters. You also create the attachment points for the moveable wings. There's a box with 2 Thermal Detonators (although if you want 3, the extra pieces are there), a weapons rack, and a hatch in the floor.īag 2: you're continuing to expand the structure of the shuttle's body. For this set, there are 6 numbered baggies, and a bag containing the instruction book and a sticker sheet.īag 1: Here you build the basic foundation of the shuttle and the 2 Rebel Troopers. Some people may wind up picking up a set that is open box or, want to verify the box contents before beginning a build. Han, Leia and the 2 Rebel Troopers are exclusive. There are 5 minifigures 4 of which are currently exclusive to this set. Chewbacca is available in this form in 2 other sets. This seems to be about average for pricing for a licensed set. At $99.99 the price per piece works out to a bit under $.11 each. This particular ship is a beautiful and elegant design in the films, but how does it look when translated in the most recent LEGO iteration? Well the box was pretty, so let's delve into the set.īefore we get to the build, let’s talk value. I never really realized how much I enjoyed stuff from Return of the Jedi until I really looked at my LEGO collecting habits. I've been wanting to build this set since it was released in June. ![]()
