What reviewers are saying

"It's big, full of nifty little details and the whole thing looks impressive while its proportions makes it a little cartoonish. Not an easy combination but they pulled it off anyway."

EuroBricks

"it's a real statement set if you get this and you build it this says I love Lego or at least I really love the Lego movie"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

Imperial Flagship — The reviewer notes that the round hull construction technique is the same as in the Imperial Flagship, which is described as 'another favourite set of mine,' suggesting both sets share construction quality and design excellence.

Previous Metalbeard figure — The new miniature Metalbeard included in this set is a worthy scaled-down version that maintains important details in smaller scale compared to the original larger version
