While all of the first-wave Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sets are beautifully made, Krennic's Imperial Shuttle has to be the most impressive model. This shuttle is sizeable when it is in landing position, but when the wings are fully folded out, it looks much larger with a farther reach and more dominating appearance. The ships color scheme and detail is very accurate to the film, and the inside is well-designed for a scaled down model. The minifigures of this set all had great care put into them, the two Death Troopers, K-2SO, and Director Krennic all remain exclusive to this set and justify its moderate value in terms of price per piece.

The building experience was fun, the vessel came together very well, and very little can take away the fun from building Lego. The two wings and two side panels however were mirrored, and having to build the same (Or mirrored) components can be inconvenient for some, which objectively takes away from the building experience. There are also stickers in the set which is unfortunate, because if somebody makes a mistake, they could damage the sticker and take away from the set.

The parts in this set are all used appropriately and they come together to make a durable model. The parts used to change the positioning of the wings are part of the Character and Creature Building System and do not have much issue with breaking and getting stuck. Krennic's cape is also the new kind that is soft and does not 'crinkle'.

The shuttle can be 'piloted' very easily by children, and it is very enjoyable to 'fly'. The entire interior of the craft can be accessed by easily opening the panels where all three Imperial figures can be seated. The spring loaded shooters can be simply fired from beneath the wings, and if one does not like the look, they can remove them.

The set has an average value for a Star Wars set at 10.4 cents per piece in the United States. Even though it is on the higher side of Lego prices, the model is well constructed and the minifigures, especially the iconic and desirable Death Troopers / K-2SO add to the value of this set.

The minifigures in this set are all nicely detailed and relevant to the set. Pao and Bodhi Rook are both 'spot-on' to their movie appearances and were present in multiple scenes. K-2SO was a popular comedic character and his print went to the tip of his shoulders, this custom droid was definitely worthy of being in the largest set of the Fall 2016 releases, and is a big draw for this set. Death Troopers, in this case, Krennic's 'Death Squad' are the mascot of the boxes for this wave, they have also been heavily promoted, and were threatening in the movie. They have extreme detail, and a shoulder pauldron. Finally, the main figure for this set, Director Orson Krennic has a beautifully designed figure, with a soft white cape, accurately colored hair, and correctly detailed clothing.

Krennic's Imperial Shuttle is a wonderful set. It has a great build both aesthetically and structurally. The minifigures are a large draw to the set as well. The price may not be the best, but it is overshadowed by the near-perfect model and exclusive minifigures. I would recommend this set to collectors of Star Wars, and any Lego fan of spacecrafts.

Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter 9 (Officially called the TIE/vn Space Superiority Fighter, and colloquially referred to as the TIE Silencer) ia made very accurately it terms of shape, scale, and especially color scheme. Like the rest of Lego's recent TIE series, it is made very durable and solid. Like it did in the film, the Silencer looks eye-piercing and 'slick'. The spring loaded shooters are expertly concealed, and the minifigures are very well-made and appropriate.

The building experience of this set was good, with only 2 smaller stickers, there was not much to worry about, and the whole build was straightforward. The only problem is a common one in the TIE series, and that is building something twice. In this case, building two things (Two orientations of winglets) twice. Overall, there was nothing really to complain about.

The parts in this set were all nice pieces, the printed windscreens were a huge help as opposed to stickers, and there was great detail all over the craft. The vessel had accurate color detail to the movie which was emulated well.

This set has all the features it needs to be playable. One can hold, move, and rotate the craft easily with their hand, and fire the bolts from the craft. Nothing else is necessary because the Silencer does not do anything else in the film.

The value of this set is not the best. At 12.7 cents per piece in the United States, it is okay for a Star Wars set. But for such an amazing set I think it is worth it if one has the budget for it.

The minifigures in this set, while they are not representative of the scenes in the film, are all great. The First Order Stormtrooper is the standard issue provided since Fall 2015 that was always good. The BB-9E droid is accurate to the one in the movie in both its unique shape and print. The new Elite TIE Fighter Pilot is expertly detailed, and even though it wouldn't be inside the craft, it is still good to have as a minifigure, and it adds to the value of the set. The highlight is the new and currently exclusive Kylo Ren minifigure. Sporting a new scar on his face, no helmet, and a full cape, this version of Kylo Ren suits his appearance and developed character in the most recent Star Wars film.

This is a very good set. It has no major or standout flaws, it is made accurate to the movie, and it looks good in general. The value of this set may not be the best on paper, but it shouldn't take away from the quality of the model. This is a great set for collectors, Star Wars fans, and general Lego enthusiasts.

The First Order Star Destroyer is a highly detailed, accurate, and durable model as a part of the first wave of Star Wars The Last Jedi sets. It is camera friendly from all angles with expert detail applied to the top faces as well as the back of the ship. Both 'flaps' come together as best as possible, and the handle used to 'fly' the vessel is perfectly placed. The interior is given high attention to detail with movie-accurate architecture. The inside also reveals the solid Technic skeleton for the handle, but also many stickers, that may be hard and frustrating for some younger fans. The only standout flaw of this craft is the top-most flap that sometimes detatches completely from the Star Destroyer.

The building experience was surprisingly engaging and fun, which is not always expected from a set with over 1000 pieces that is symmetrical (Usually is repetitive). This is achieved by Lego through separating the 'flaps' into three segments each, so when one completes a side, they start with a pattern that was only done three bags previous

Lego goes 'all-out' with their selection of parts for this set. They use appropriate parts throughout the build, and less common parts to enhance the legitimacy and 'texture' of the craft. However, there are plenty of stickers in the set which can be difficult to apply, and experience problems over time.

This set, despite being colossal to some, can be easily played with and 'piloted'. The outside has stud shooters which can be shot, and the inside has plenty of 'workspace' for the minifigures, as well as a manual elevator that can take a figure to the upper seat.

The minifigures, despite not being movie-accurate to this Star Destroyer are worthy of being in a set of this price point. The First Order Stormtroopers are the standard issue that have been produced since Fall 2015. The white shoulder pauldron on one of the Stormtroopers is something noticable that has been absent since The Force Awakens, and good to be introduced in this set. The new First Order Crew figure with a raised visor is a new mould fitting for a set of this nature. The officer is a greatly improved version of the ones seen in the past, as 'gunmetal' is a more accurate color choice. The Droids are well done, but one stud under the Medical Droid would have made it easier to pose and display it. Snoke is a mysterious and popular character, and his desirable and highly detailed minifigure was ideal for a set like this, even though he wasn't in this Star Destroyer in the film.

The set has an excellent price for a 1400+ piece licensed set. At USD$160, and CAD$180 it has a better value than the Millennium Falcon from Fall 2015, showing a surprising improvement in the price of licensed Lego sets.

If one has the budget for this set, I would strongly recommend it. It is the most appealing and impressive set from The Last Jedi subtheme so far, and it is very iconic to the Star Wars saga, and the latest trilogy.

When I saw the initial set images for this model I didn't really like the look of the set, I thought it looked like a thin frame on top of a fat box. I still picked up the set, and it was much better than I thought. The shape of the model is actually very nice, and it looks even better when the wings are folded out. The cargo bay can hold 2 gunners (While open), and you can squeeze Jyn and Cassian in if you really want to. The cockpitfits very well with the model, and it can be opened when you move the silver studs forward. It has a great amount of space for the pilot, and the large windscreen looks great from the cockpit and provides a nice transition from the cargo bay up to the hull.

The parts are nicely (And accurately) used within the model. There is a freat amount of greebling and unique pieces that could be used for MOCs. Jyn's accessory also has two Barraki eyes in black, which may be useful to some.

The minifigure selection is large for a $90 USD ($100 CAD) set containing 5 minifigures. The U-Wing Pilot with an appropriate sized blaster. Bistan, who has a nicely moulded face. A rebel trooper with a large helmet. Cassian Andor who has accurate detail to the real character. And Jyn Erso, who had a lot of effort put into her minifigure, she has a grey cloth piece for her torso, a brown satchel that fits right on top of the cloth, as well as a rebel style cap and silver blaster similar to the ones in the film. (Brickset.com uses the wrong set image that replaces the pilot with the Rebel Trooper featured in the TIE Striker set)

The set was a very fun build which didn't take too long. I found that it was all a fresh experience and repetition was minimal. The set has some play features: You can open the doors to the lower bay and flip out the stud shooters, the windscreen to the cockpit opens with the movement of silver studs, you can push elevated blue 1x2 tiles to fire spring loaded shooters, and finally, you can move the wings back to make the U-Wing fly into an awesome looking attack position. The sets price is not too bad for a Stat Wars set, and as the main Rebel set for Rogue One $90 is pretty fair, and the price per piece only goes up by 1 cent from Star Wars' average (11.09 cents). I think the U-Wing is one of the best Rogue One sets to get as it is one of a kind and on par with the Millennium Falcon in terms of the protagonists' usage of the vehicle.

The Star Wars price per piece average was obtained from JANGBRiCKS in early June 2017.

The TIE Striker model has excellent and well thought out construction. The model is much heavier than expected, which is good. The wings can fold or move into an attack position using technic assemblies at the rear. The TIE Striker has generous storage space for accesories in the back, and an easily accessible cockpit in the front.

The parts used to make the model were used appropriately and creatively to give a sizeable amount of greebling and detail. The strips of grey used on the wings were engineered nicely to look appealing from most angles. As for the parts selection, I think it is diverse and contains less common parts that MOCists could find useful or possible turn into a whole new model.

The minifigures are an excellent choice for this type of set. A ratio of 3:1 Empire to Rebel minifigures in an imperial set makes for a believable scene, as well as one rebel scum to blast with the Striker. The pilot is fitting and has good detail, the ground crew and Shoretrooper make for good troop building and would both look good on Scarif. The Rebel Trooper is generic and would fit in an army.

The Building experience was enjoyable even though the second wing felt mundane. The smaller size of the set allowed the duplicate wing to add to the enjoyment the set brought. The playability is there and compliments the accuracy of the build, there are spring loaded shooters which is fun for many, especially young children. I think it is difficult to change the wing position while you fly the ship, so one would have to pause the Striker 'mid-flight'. The set has a price per piece on the high side, but the large parts and care put into the model make that excusable; considering there is much worse on the market. When I saw the set images for the first wave of Rogue One sets, this was my initial favorite - and it is still first (Although tied with Krennic's Imperial Shuttle).
