"A Recommended 2013 Clone Wars set whose BrickScore of 75.5 reflects a competent but unspectacular ship carried by three figures that have remained exclusive for over a decade. Collectors seeking Rako Hardeen or the Nikto Guard will find this retired set worth pursuing on the aftermarket despite the modest value-per-piece."
The HH-87 Starhopper earns a Recommended verdict primarily on the strength of three exclusive minifigures, led by Obi-Wan Kenobi in his Rako Hardeen disguise, a figure that has never been re-released. Expert reviewers BrickQueen and JANG both found the ship itself competent but slightly overpriced for its piece count, and owner ratings split the difference: LEGO.com buyers give it a 4.0 average across 8 ratings, with value-for-money scoring a tepid 3.6, suggesting real-world buyers share the critics' mild reservations about the price-to-parts equation.
Where they split: BrickQueen and JANG agreed broadly on the minifigure strengths and the ship's modest value, though JANG was more critical of the Clone Wars figure aesthetic generally. One LEGO.com reviewer rated the set 20 out of 100, calling it one of the worst sets ever built and finding the figures boring, a clear outlier against the otherwise positive consensus.

"I really like this set, it features a good assortment of minifigs and parts and the model itself sure looks great on the shelf (and is swooshable too), but the colour scheme might throw some people off and so does the lack of a helmet for Obi-Wan. But you can't have everything, can you?"
