Synthesized Verdict

"The Resistance Troop Transporter is a standout Star Wars set: JANG called it one of his all-time favorites, owner ratings back him up at 4.77 out of 5 from 247 buyers, and the BrickScore of 86.8 reflects a set that punches well above its price class in build technique, interior detail, and display quality."

The Resistance Troop Transporter earns a Highly Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 86.8, anchored by JANG's near-perfect 92/100 rating calling it one of his all-time favorite Star Wars sets. Expert reviewers were struck by the set's advanced building techniques, exceptional interior detailing, and strong structural durability, all uncommon for a standard retail LEGO Star Wars set.

What reviewers are saying

"this to me is one of my favorite Lego Star Wars sets ever I can only say that because I actually have it here in front of me I've had it in my hands and I actually built the thing"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"This is not a perfect model but it is incredibly detailed due to the intricacy of the construction and the design is very close to that of the craft in the movie, more so than almost any other Star Wars set in fact!"

Brickset Reviews

"I actually really like this set a lot more than I thought I was in the beginning of this video I thought oh okay another Force awaken set looks pretty okay um but now that I've built it this is actually almost one of my …"

Ecosystem

B-Wing — Unlike the B-Wing, this set doesn't have rotating carpet, doesn't have wings that fold out, and is a completely different transport module

75103 First Order Transporter — Both are nearly flawless sets and among the reviewer's two favourite sets from the entire Star Wars: The Force Awakens line. The reviewer cannot choose between them as both are almost perfect.

75050 B-wing Starfighter (2014) — Many techniques and elements appear in both this set and the B-wing, as the cockpit module in the film has been repurposed from a B-wing and is reflected in the LEGO version.

75139 Battle on Takodana — The minifigure selection in 75140 is impressive but does not quite match that of 75139 Battle on Takodana in the reviewer's opinion.

Key Cons

✕17 stickers is an excessive and ridiculous amount for a single set

Value drivers

Brickset Reviews: General Leia Organa - an important character from The Force Awakens portrayed in minifigure form with nice detailing. Admiral Ackbar - a favourite character despite brief screen time, with impressive printing and a new coffee cup accessory.

Solid Brix Studios: General Leia is the primary value driver as an exclusive minifigure from the 2016 Force Awakens wave.

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: Four Resistance Trooper torso variants available (one exclusive to this set), Admiral Ackbar with updated printing, General Leia Organa minifigure

Solid Brix Studios: Exclusive minifigures (General Leia, Admiral Ackbar) but not the most iconic characters. The set itself is exclusive to LEGO.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Printed piece in the cockpit
Used for cockpit detailing alongside a sticker
1 by 2 full brick pieces with clip on the side
Used for weapon rack to hold two weapons
Stepped piece along the side
Adds detailing and visual interest
Spring-loaded shooters
Two integrated into the back, pushed almost completely flush so they don't disrupt the exterior look
Curved slopes forming the craft shape
Used extensively to create the attractive shape of the craft and the bulkier end of the transporter, matching the movie design
Car bonnet elements
Two car bonnet elements make clever use forming a lovely curve around the laser cannon assembly and targeting sensors, matching the intricate bodywork
