"The Jedi Scout Fighter earns a BrickScore of 71.8 and a Recommended tier: a genuinely distinctive ship design and four exclusive minifigures make it worthwhile for collectors, but at $0.122 per piece with fixed wings and a non-canon storyline pedigree, it falls short of being a must-own for general Star Wars fans."
The 2014 Jedi Scout Fighter (75051) divides its two expert reviewers along clear lines: JANG scored it 78 and praised the innovative wing-folding build and aggressive visual design, while Solid Brix Studios scored it 65 and argued the $59.99 price for 490 pieces is simply too high for a non-canon Yoda Chronicles set with limited play features. Both reviewers agree the four exclusive minifigures are the set's primary draw. The owner pool is very small at 8 ratings averaging 4.73 out of 5, but the LEGO.com value signal is notably cool at 3.42 out of 5, aligning with the critic concern about pricing.
Where they split: JANG and Solid Brix Studios disagreed meaningfully on overall quality: JANG scored the set 78 and found the build genuinely exciting and the design appealing, while Solid Brix Studios scored it 65, called the price unjustifiable for a non-canon set, and noted the lack of moving wings and limited features as significant shortcomings. The BrickScore of 71.8 and Recommended tier reflect this split.

Owners love the sleek design, rotating cannon, two-seater cockpit, and minifigure lineup, but a few note the pilot/gunner seating is cramped and some minifigures are underwhelming compared to prior sets.
