"The Phantom earns a Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 66.4 that tells the full story: the ship is a competent but unremarkable build at a value-challenged price point, while the Grand Admiral Thrawn minifigure is so coveted that secondary-market prices have exceeded $350 sealed, making this a collector's artifact prized for its figures far more than its bricks."
The Phantom from 2017 carries a Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 66.4, with reviewers almost unanimously agreeing that the minifigures, especially Grand Admiral Thrawn, are the primary reason to own this set rather than the ship itself. The build is fun and features some clever play functions, but value-for-money critiques were persistent at retail and have only intensified given the set's dramatic secondary-market appreciation. Owner ratings average 4.73 across 463 reviews, though LEGO.com's own signals show lower value satisfaction (2.87 out of 5 for value) and only 71% would recommend, pointing to a set that rewards minifigure collectors more than ship enthusiasts.
Where they split: Reviewers share moderate agreement overall but diverge on value: some owner reviews rate value highly (particularly earlier buyers at retail), while LEGO.com's own signals show only 2.87 out of 5 for value for money, among the lowest signals in this batch. There is also disagreement on the severity of Thrawn's rank inaccuracy, with some dismissing it as minor and others calling it a significant error that LEGO should address.

Owners buy this primarily for the Grand Admiral Thrawn minifigure and are largely satisfied with both the figure and the ship, though price sensitivity and Thrawn's mislabeled rank badge are recurring complaints.
