St-149 or Delta-class T-3c shuttle was Director Krennic's transport ship during Rogue One. This set is the biggest one from the movie wave and it's the most cool one for me. It's not just another imperial shuttle, this one is The shuttle. It comprises of 863 pieces and 6 minifigures and retail for about 90Us$/100Eu. It took me slightly more than two hours to build. I have to say the process was somewhat crippled by the 9 stickers and some rather repetitive part like the big wings and the dorsal wing, but just a little.

The minifigures selection is superb. 6 is a good number of characters, and all exclusive as well! The tiny problem here is about the lack of the real pilot of the ship, Captain Dunstig Pterro, which could have been included as well. Doing so this set lets us believe that Krennic itself piloted his ship, but he didn't, he was just a passenger. But i guess people wouldn't care too much about another obscure shuttle pilot clad in black. The details about the minifigures are amazing, Pao and Bhodi also have secondary faces, both pretty cool (i love Pao screaming, but actually Bodhi looks too fat). The death troopers are awesome, with a black pauldron and a lot of details going onto the legs, the helmet is perfect. Even Krennic and K-2SO are very well done, the first with a new stye white cape and pearl-grey modified blaster, and the droid has a lot of little details in his new body piece. It's also very playable since you have 3 rebels and 3 imperials to start a brawl!

The black-pyramid shuttle looks stunning. The shape is perfect, the size is very good, the black is in contrast with some dark grey elements. The dorsal wing is very intricate, build with a lot of little pieces in columns connected together with technic elements. The design makes it imposing and pretty cool. Going onto the main features, on the outside you can raise or lower the landing gear (two skids which work as one with a back connection) and the main landing ramp, which of course doesn't connect to the inside but still is nice to see. Also you can lower the wings into flying mode very easly, and that's very cool since they are huge! Once down you can see that it became even taller, reaching a whopping 45cm from top to bottom!! With a nice stand displaying it it will increase its already cool look. In this position it's very sturdy and easy to fly around to play, and there's even two spring-loaded red shooters hidden pretty well in the wings, but if you don't like them (like me sometimes) you can just put them away, so you don't have to worry about firing them accidentally. Opening the 4 armoured panels reveals the interior (they open nicely, except the main one which covers some of the cabin). And this is very interesting, since there's actually a lot of space! There are 4 seats, 2 for co-pilots (with the new nice seat without bricks) and 2 more for passengers/prisoners, and upstairs the main white-style seat for the pilot (very cool). There are a lot of stickers here, on the walls as well as for the computers. You also have 6 clips for blaster storage, 4 on the back and 2 for the co-pilots near their seats. Considering the whole structure it's very sturdy and heavy for the big wings, it's very good to also have a very nice interior here. Also from the outside it's possible to see the pilot face thanks to the glass-piece, which works with the other panels to envelop almost entirely the inside, leaving only very minor gaps.

Overall i think this set has almost no cons. The price is fair, the minifigures are great, both collectibles and funny on their own, and the ship is very well done, again both for play and display. You can easy swoosh it around, maybe shoot one or two missiles against some rebel scum, and then close the wings, open the landing craft and land somewhere, where Krennic is about to come and fix problems helped by his deadly commandos! So all in all as a shuttle-lover and shuttle-collector i must say this is my favourite one (for now at least!). It inspires terror and strangeness to the eye, being so big and mysterious and yet very elegant at the same time. It's a new but already iconic ship for the empire!!

Che dire... è uno dei miei pezzi preferiti. esteticamente è stupendo, realistico, ben fatto, dettagli ben curati, tanti incastri e pezzi unici. una meraviglia di set. le minifigure sono belle e ben fatte. per terminarlo ci ho impiegato 3 sere. complessivamente molto bello. forse l'unica vera pecca è il peso delle ali che a lungo andare ho paura sforzino molto il supporto. ma tenerlo da esposizione è stupendo.

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.

Well, it's May fourth (At least at the time of writing this) so, I decided why not make a Star Wars set review? I don't have anything else better to do. So, let's stop wasting time and begin this!

The Box

The box itself is a normal $90-$100 size box. Like in 2015 with "The Force Awakens", the banner is changed to the next year's banner for toy lines and such. This time, it's a Death Trooper in front of a black background with a splotch of very light blue. There's also some tiny TIE Fighters flying in front of the Death Trooper.

Other than that, the shots of the shuttle in action is well photographed and the back shows the play features as usual.

The Instructions

These were very clear and were easy to follow. The back pages has a checklist for Rogue One's first wave minifigures, another checklist for wave one's sets, an CGI action shot, and an add for the Force Builder app. Sadly, the kid screaming WIN on the back cover has been replaced with a random minifigure but I'm sure most people won't miss him.

The Parts

There's nothing too substantial besides a nice printed canopy and a metallic silver medium blaster. This set defiantly isn't a parts pack.

The Build

The build wasn't too hard or easy. There was no repetitive parts yet not really any fun ones Overall, it was an alright build.

The Minifigures

Director Orson Krennic

Krennic is absolutely wonderful! His printing, while mostly minimal, fits him well and his cape is the recent spongy material! His accessory is a medium blaster in metallic silver, which has only once appeared in 75103 First Order Transport! Overall, it's a nice piece to have. Speaking of nice things to have, Krennic is one of them.

K-2SO

Ah, K2 is probably the most memorable character in this movie. Not only is he basically a better C-3PO, but he's an amazing minifigure ... almost. While he looks well asthetically, posing him is a nuisance. His head is molded into his body so no posing there. His torso is based off a battle droid torso so, his legs are molded together so, even less posing. And his arms must be switched from curved to straight for him to hold a weapon so he's very hard to pose altogether. But, then again, it is a LEGO K-2SO so, get it loose at your own risk. (But, this is mostly from my dislike for the design of LEGO battle droids.)

Bodhi Rook

Bodhi is someone you need to look up on a wiki to find out his name but he still is memorable in the movie as a Imperial pilot gone rogue. (Heh heh, rogue. Rogue One. Heh heh.) His minifigure equivalent is very accurate. He has a generator on his back from the final act of the movie and he comes with a double-sided face: One with goggles, one without. For weaponry, he comes with a standard black blaster pistol. Nothing too substantial otherwise. Overall, nothing to rave over but a very accurate minifigure.

Imperial Death Troopers

Ooh, these guys have such an awesome design! But, they are so under utilized in the movie! Anyways, like I said, the troopers have awesome designs and they have translated well into minifigure form. The helmet is a new mold (Which is very nice) and both it and the torso and legs are printed wonderfully. Sadly, the only bad thing about them is that, underneath the helmet, is Angry Clone Face. These guys can also be found in 71615 Imperial Trooper Battle Pack but without the pauldrons they have in this set. If you're a completionist like me, you'll want both but I'm sure most people would be fine with the ones in 71615. So, an amazing figure overall!

Pao

So, who is this guy again? Seriously, I swear I've only saw him for a second in the movie itself but, as a minifigure, I say he's very memorable. He comes with an entirely new mold for his helmet. (Which is well printed over). His prints are very well detailed and nice to look at (Even with the drab colors) And, the most memorable thing about him is his double-sided head, with one side having a very grumpy/concentrated frown with beady eyes and wrinkles and the other having him SCREAMING! It's somehow so ridiculous yet hilarious! The only downside about him is his backpack has a sticker on it! Overall, a minifigure that'll stick out of the crowd.

Conclusion

These minifigures are a great selection for this set and six is a good number for a $90 set. The only thing I would want to add would be maybe adding Jyn or Cassian in there.

The Completed Model

This is a ship that you'll probably won't forget from Rogue One and it does very well in LEGO form!

It comes in two different modes: One for landing with two connected technic rails sliding down and the wings (on ball joints) up in the air while the other being for flying with the rails up and the wings down. Unfortunately, with the wings being so huge, it's very hard to pose without a custom built stand but, playability is great in this mode! Seriously, I swear, you'll get a sudden urge just to fly this around in circles and trust me, when you do, it's so satisfying!

There is a landing ramp but it's very hard to see and also very hard to actually get a minifigure on it. But, I can't fault this set for not doing something virtually impossible.

Finally, there's the interior and, oh boy, it's the weakest part of the build. While the cockpit for Krennic is nicely detailed (The stickers actually do a nice job), once you open up the flaps for the hold, there's a sudden splotch in color. Particularly red and tan. Seriously, most bricks in tan are randomly put everywhere. The red is shining in from the inner technic but I guess it wasn't the designer's fault for not having enough pieces to cover it up. Other than that is some seats for the Death Troopers. I am very disappointed in this and wish LEGO could put somewhat of an effort in it.

Conclusion

This set is pretty great for both play and display. It looks great and is very "swooshable". The only downside to it is the interior but other than that, this is a great set for any Star Wars/Rogue One fan. This is defiantly a buy if you have the money!

Lego finishes it releases for the first wave of Rogue One sets with Director Krennic's Sienar Fleet Systems Delta Class T-3c Shuttle.

Box/Instructions

The large almost square box for the shuttle. Orson Krennic is the figure of choice on the top with K-2SO, Bodhi Rook, Pao and the Deathtroopers displayed in the panel next to him. The front shows the shuttle in a battle in orbit of the Death Star. The back features the ship in a battle on Scarif and 7 panels displaying the play features.
There is one large almost A4 size instruction book.

Parts

The price per piece ratio is average for a kit this size. Most of the pieces are light and dark grey, black and a few brightly coloured pieces for the internal structure. Some nice new pieces for my collection with some of the black plating pieces and the new colour weapons.
There are 7 bags in the box.
Bag 1 contains parts for the central hull framework, Director Krennic and the two Imperial Deathtroopers.
Bag 2 contains parts for the internal detailing of the main hull and the landing treads.
Bag 3 contains the parts for the dorsal wing.
Bag 4 contains the parts for the starboard wing, Bodhi Rook and Pao.
Bag 5 contains the parts for the port wing.
Bag 6 contains the parts for the forward guns and port and starboard hull plating.
Bag 7 contains the forward and aft hull plating and K-2SO.

Minifigures

The set comes with six minifigures.
Firstly we have Director Orson Krennic. The detail on his tunic is superb and his white cloth cloak completes the look. He just has a single serious face printed on his head. The silver detailing for his belt, code cylinders and insignia stand out rather well. He comes armed with a silver grey blaster.
Secondly we have the two Imperial Deathtroopers. The detailing across the torso and legs on the troopers is superb with all the details like the thermal detonators, ammo pouches and the different knee pads for each leg. They each have a soft black and grey shoulder pauldron for the right arm and both are equipped with black blasters.
Thirdly (or fourthly) we have K-2SO. The droid has been nicely created in minifigure scale with a brand new torso piece. The details in such a small droid are excellent, right down to the silver Imperial insignia imprinted on his shoulders.
Next up is Imperial pilot Bodhi Rook. Compared to the others, he has less detailing, just on his torso showing his utility vest over his flight suit. He sports Kanan Jarrus' hair piece and his head has a smiling face on one side and his concentrating face sporting his tech glasses on the other. He comes equipped with a small backpack and a black compact blaster pistol.
Finally we have my favourite, Pao. The Drabata is a great little minifigure. His head has serious and screaming faces printed on it. The new head piece is nicely crafted. The detailing on the torso and legs are very well done and the details for his comms pack are provided by a sticker. He comes armed with a black assault rifle.

The build

Total building time, 60 minutes.
We've had several Imperial shuttle kits over the years but this black T-3c is one of the best.
The build is relatively straightforward with lots of care to reinforce the internal structure to make sure that the model stays solid and makes is flyable for kids.
All of the hull plates have sturdy hinges to allow access but also keep the plating firmly in place.
The wings are manually adjusted but the combination of support struts and ball jointed hinges make them very secure in either flight or landing mode.
The overall design captures the look and feel of the ship very well and the black colour scheme just looks much nicer. The detailing on the hull plating and wings is excellent.
There's some nice touches for the interior, Krennic's seat for example, and the designer has taken care to make sure the ship looks great both inside and out.
There are 9 stickers to apply. Two are the control consoles in the front, one is the console in the main cockpit, four are for detailing inside the main hull, one of the aft exterior hull and the last one is on Pao's comms pack.

The completed model

Krennic's Imperial Shuttle is a great looking vehicle and makes an impressive toy and display piece. It has a fair few features as well.
The upper cockpit can be opened separately and seats Director Krennic. The whole of the main hull can be accessed as the hull plating opens up easily to allow access. The ship seats five minifigures and there are clips in the aft section and one by each of the forward seats for weapon storage. I was somewhat disappointed that K-2SO cannot fit anywhere in the ship properly.
There is a spring loaded missile launcher under each wing and the ship is also armed with two twin mounted laser cannons at the front and a cannon on each wing tip.
There is a token boarding ramp under the front which can be lowered in landing mode but doesn't lead to any real access in the ship.
The landing treads move in unison and fold close to the hull when the ship is in flight.
In landing mode, the sip measures 21 cm long, 17 cm wide and 33 cm tall
In flight mode, the ship measures 21 cm long, 58 cm wide and 45 cm tall.

Overall opinion

Like all other kits in Rogue One's first wave, this one doesn't disappoint. A great kit for kids and adults alike with some play features and a good selection of minifigures. Krennic's Imperial Shuttle should be on any Star Wars fans wish list.
