First of many reviews to come, so where to begin? I’m always looking to expand upon my Star Wars set collection, as it’s mainly what I do (few exceptions being the Disney blind bags and the two D2C sets), and enjoy it a lot. The fulfillment of adding another piece of the saga to my own shelves is always a delight! I ordered this a few days ago, and was happy with how fast it arrived. After a few hours, I had finally put together this hefty build of a shuttle, and I must say that it is an amazing set with very few drawbacks.
Pros:
-Hefty build lends itself to great durability
-Spring shooters are well hidden, and work great
-The rotating engine allowing the wings to split further is neatly integrated
-The extra knobs to extend the wingtips are also great
-Minifigures are amazing. The Knights of Ren and their master, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren are easily the best. Extra props to Pryde and the two troopers.
Cons:
-I don’t know if I messed something up, but it’s just that the wings have a tendency to lean, but it’s nothing too much to worry about.
-Spring shooters easily get fired if you poke the technic beams, because of how the ship itself is handled.
-If you own the 2015 version (I don’t), I would just say to modify it. But you should still most definitely get the figures.
