Synthesized Verdict

"The Resistance Bomber earns its Highly Recommended BrickScore of 81.6 as a near-consensus fan favorite from the Last Jedi wave, where the cleverly hidden play features and faithful bomber aesthetic win out over the recurring complaint about its triple-digit price tag."

Reviewers overwhelmingly praised the Resistance Bomber (75188) as one of the standout Last Jedi sets, celebrating its cleverly integrated play features, faithful screen accuracy, and rewarding build. Owners across three retailers echo that verdict with a 4.69 average from 270 ratings and 88% recommending the set, though owner value-for-money sits at 3.92 out of 5, reflecting the near-universal acknowledgment that $109.99 is steep for 780 pieces. The sole recurring criticism is price rather than any flaw in design or execution.

03Ball turrets cannot rotate side-to-side, limiting their realism

What reviewers are saying

"this to me is one of the more sensibly designed vehicles in the Star Wars Universe I'd say at least flying thing"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"that price automatically puts this set in a very overpriced title I would I would I would give it that title honestly"

Ecosystem

Nebulon B Frigate — To many, the Resistance Bomber looks like a cross between a Nebulon B Frigate and a B-Wing, though the reviewer is glad it wasn't called a T-Wing based on its shape.

B-Wing — Shares some design elements with B-Wing, particularly the canopy and cockpit setup, but is a distinct bomber design.

First-Order Heavy Assault Walker — The Walker offers 1300 pieces for $150, which seems more reasonable value than 780 pieces for $110 for the Bomber

X-wing Starfighter (Force Awakens) — Matches the exact same color scheme; could work well together as part of a Resistance display; suggests buying multiple bombers for battle recreation

BUY

"this to me is one of the more sensibly designed vehicles in the Star Wars Universe I'd say at least flying thing"

Key Pros

✓Stands on its own without a separate stand despite height and weight
✓Excellent integration of spring-loaded shooters and bombing mechanism completely hidden from view
✓Sensible in-universe design with meaningful play features (tail gunning power, reaction control thrusters, redundant engines)

Key Cons

✕Retail price (~$110 USD) is at the edge of reasonability and pushing past what might be considered fair for piece count
✕Black Zamor sphere bomb color is slightly awkward (though reviewer understands the design choice)
