LOVED (8)

01Better design than the Rebels source material with more color, texture, and shape variation
02Extensive play features including opening cockpit, removable spine, geared turrets, spring-loaded shooters, and remote TIE fighter launch
03Center handle for easy portability and display positioning
04Highly collectible minifigures, especially Sabine with Mandalorian helmet and printed Astromech droid
05Many different parts and advanced building techniques
06Excellent TIE Fighter drop/reload mechanism (innovative play feature)
07Good imperial aesthetic and design
08Rotating turrets with integrated stud shooters

CRITICIZED (8)

01Front cockpit section doesn't resemble in-universe design well
02Remote launch system for TIE fighters doesn't always work perfectly; fighters sometimes get stuck
03Not minifigure scale; TIE fighters are very small and simple builds
04Expensive set primarily for minifigure value; general Star Wars fans may pass
05Ship with TIE fighters attached appears weak in design and easy to attack in-universe
06TIE Fighters are miniscale rather than minifigure scale (historical complaint, though David noted this was necessary given price point)
07Spring-loaded missiles can be hazardous ("You will blind a 10-year-old"; "That is not 9 to 14 friendly")
08Storage crate features only a sticker for Imperial logo

What reviewers are saying

"if you can score one for under 200 bucks it's definitely well worth it um just for the sheer factor of coolness of now having this go outside of just Rebels."

Solid Brix Studios

"The ship itself I think looks better as this Lego model than it does in Star Wars Rebels"

Ecosystem

Razor Crest (from The Mandalorian) — Roughly same size, similar price point when released, both gray vehicles. Razor Crest is 'a little bit more chunky' while this is 'a little bit more thin.' Both look good next to each other.

Republic Cruiser — Reminds David of the Republic Cruiser in overall structure and the handle design.

Gunship — Similar in that it has hidden areas for extra missiles, like the Republic Gunship design philosophy.

Value drivers

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Sabine with Mandalorian helmet in dark red and the printed Imperial Astromech droid with trans-clear head

Exclusivity

Solid Brix Studios: Was Rebels-exclusive when released 2015; now tied to Mandalorian canon relevance.

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Set-exclusive minifigures; not available elsewhere

Resale

Solid Brix Studios: Strong upward trajectory expected. David observed: "i think you'll see this set go up in price" and noted seeing it for $180 after episode aired vs. $120 original retail. Mentions potential to reach $250-300.

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Strong aftermarket value expected for the individual minifigures, especially Sabine and the Astromech, though the set itself may not appreciate significantly

Standout parts (per reviewers)

TIE Fighter drop mechanism
Innovative play feature allowing individual deployment of TIE Fighters from cargo bay. "it's actually a really easy to reload them... you don't have to drop both on one side."
Rotating gun turrets
Stud shooters on both ends with rotating mechanism tied to third engine piece. "this third engine is what you turn to turn the guns, which I think is pretty neat."
Landing gear mechanism
TIE Fighters and integrated landing gear pieces can support the ship when placed on surface. "you also have these... they also can act as holding up the ship and as landing gear."
Printed trans-clear Astromech headValue
Unique printed detail with red lines defining edges; rare and collectible element
Mandalorian helmet in dark redValue
New/long-sought color variant finally paired with Sabine's hair in one set
Geared turret mechanism
Linked mechanism allowing both turrets to turn together
