LOVED (6)

01Accurate recreation of the Lambda-class shuttle with correct proportions and ratcheting folding wings
02Detailed interior with cockpit seating for two, three-seat passenger area, weapon holsters, thermal detonators crate, and a Death Star II monitor screen
03Highly detailed minifigure lineup: Endor Han Solo, Endor Princess Leia, new-print Chewbacca, and two Endor rebel troopers
04Spring-loaded blasters integrated alongside the main weapons that rotate for landing and flight modes
05Sturdy construction that holds up to play without falling apart
06Retractable landing gear built directly into the model

CRITICIZED (6)

01No display stand included, making flight-mode display awkward without a custom build
02Underside of the side wings lacks the smooth finish seen on the UCS version
03Ship body proportionally shorter than screen-accurate, though noted as a minor compromise
04Cockpit top panel can be a bit loose
05Landing gear has a tendency to slowly slip under the model's weight if not perfectly positioned
06Luke Skywalker absent from the minifigure lineup despite featuring prominently in the Endor mission

What reviewers are saying

"I am cheating I am cheating right this very moment because this set does not include the stand"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"Set design has advanced enormously in the past ten years and it really shows here, so I am delighted to see an updated version, particularly since five superb minifigures are included to crew this stolen ship."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

10212 Imperial Shuttle — Although the UCS model is still the definitive version as one would expect, this set certainly has great appeal as a more affordable alternative. The play value is enormous and some aspects look as good as the much larger set, most notably the fuselage and blue-tinted thrusters.

7264 Imperial Inspection — Set design has advanced enormously in the past ten years and it really shows here. Updated version with improved minifigures and construction techniques compared to the 2005 release.

8038 The Battle of Endor — Princess Leia figure is quite similar to that in 8038 with the addition of some extra detail on her torso and a distinctive printed poncho
