"A Recommended buy primarily for Star Wars collectors: DJ's exclusivity is real and both reviewers say to pick it up, but JANG's lower score (65 vs Brickset's 78) reflects a legitimate debate about whether a $6 polybag with a face print that doesn't quite hit earns its keep."
The DJ polybag (40298) scores a BrickScore of 71.4 and a Recommended rating, with both expert reviewers agreeing the set's primary reason to buy is the exclusive DJ minifigure from The Last Jedi, a character absent from all standard retail sets. Brickset praised the figure's detail and the display stand system enthusiastically, while JANG took a more measured view, noting the face print doesn't quite capture Benicio del Toro's features and questioning whether the $6 retail price is justified for what is essentially one minifigure on a small stand.
Where they split: Brickset rated the set 78 with genuine enthusiasm for the figure's execution, while JANG scored it 65 and was more critical of the face print's likeness and the price-to-content ratio. The split centers on whether the exclusivity alone justifies the purchase or whether the figure's execution needed more work to earn it.
