While this shuttle is terrible value for money at MSRP in USD (12.9c/piece), as is now fairly standard for Star Wars sets, it's an impressive monster of a craft that is also pretty fun to build. The main cabin is well-greebled, and the spring-loaded mechanism for unfolding the wings was fairly interesting to construct. This mechanism means that the wings unfold easily and satisfyingly once the ship is constructed. I think I casually collect Star Wars shuttlecraft given how many I own at this point, but this is up there with #75094 as the best to swoosh around my living room while humming some John Williams classics.

The figures in this set are nothing to scoff at, including two menacing-looking Knights of Ren as well as their leader, and General Pryde, who is suitably both stuffy- and evil-looking, plus one each of an (in my opinion) excellent Sith Trooper and a run-of-the-mill First Order stormtrooper. Still, these pale in comparison to the shuttle, which is both surprisingly large and incredibly sturdy, making it great to swoosh or display. If I had bought this while I was in the target age range for this set, I would have certainly spent hours swooshing it around the room and menacing the "good guys" with it, and even as an AFOL it's a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who has even a passing interest in the sequels if they can get it at a moderate discount.

This set shines as a minifigure and accessory pack, since the figure parts, printing and accessories are simply amazing. I mainly was interested in this set for the novelty of Avatar Harumi's Kill Bill reference, but most of the prints developed for the Prime Empire line are amazing, including those on Digi Jay and Scott, as well as the two antagonist figures. Plus, the weapons are great, especially since I don't usually buy Ninjago sets. On the other hand, the builds are pretty disappointing. I plan on parting this out, and there are some semi-interesting pieces in here, but I didn't really get much out of the build. Some of the most interesting construction was just putting together the Prime Empire armour and the life indicators, which says a lot about how uninteresting I found the construction. Still, this set has some amazing figures in it, and if you can still find it on clearance somewhere, it's worth picking up for those alone. Even the figures that are mostly part re-use give you a nice flannel shirt and wetsuit, both of which I will definitely find a use for.

As someone who doesn't collect Ninjago, I look forward to using the figure parts in future cyberpunk themed MOCs, and otherwise will be putting the pieces in my parts bin.
