"The First Order Stormtrooper Brick Sketch earns its Recommended score through genuinely clever construction that consistently surprises reviewers who expect something flat and simple, though buyers should note the owner value-for-money signal (3.76 out of 5) suggests it rewards patience for a discount."
The First Order Stormtrooper Brick Sketch earns a BrickScore of 77.6 and sits in the Recommended tier, supported by three expert reviews that were uniformly positive and specifically praised its unexpected build depth and clever construction techniques. The set surprised reviewers who approached it skeptically due to its basic black-and-white color palette, with Jay's Brick Blog noting it turned out to be "a surprisingly enjoyable build experience." Owner data is limited (7 LEGO.com ratings averaging 4.18 out of 5, with an 82 percent would-recommend rate), and the value-for-money score of 3.76 out of 5 from owners is notably lower than the critics' enthusiasm, suggesting buyers are more price-sensitive about the $19.99 ask than reviewers were.
Where they split: Critics and owners diverge on value. Expert reviewers were broadly enthusiastic about the construction cleverness at the price, while the LEGO.com owner value-for-money score of 3.76 out of 5 (and an 82 percent rather than higher would-recommend rate) suggests real buyers are less convinced the $19.99 ask is fully justified. Brickset explicitly recommended waiting for a sale.

"After Batman, I honestly wasn't expecting much from the First Order Stormtrooper – after all the colours are pretty basic, and looking at it from the front, appeared quite flat, but oh was I glad to be wrong."

"The builds are quick, but fun. The finished models are great."

"The Stormtrooper helmet is built entirely studs-up using a couple of techniques worth mentioning. First, notice how the tips of the new black 2x4 wedge plates fit perfectly in the gap of the hinges!"

The First Order Stormtrooper Brick Sketch earns strong praise as an accessible, wall-displayable set that appeals even to non-LEGO fans, though a single dissenting voice dismisses the entire Brick Sketches format as pointless.
