Snoke's Throne Room

"With a BrickScore of 45.2, Snoke's Throne Room is a minifigure-first purchase that struggles to justify its full $70 price tag — the Praetorian Guards and Snoke are excellent, but the model itself is too small, too sparse, and missing too many film-accurate details to stand on its own merits at retail."

Reviewers largely agree that the minifigures — especially the exclusive Praetorian Guards with their new moulded helmets and pauldron pieces — are the undisputed highlight of 75216, while the throne room model itself is considered underwhelming for its $69.99/£64.99 price tag. The set's action features (force-pull sliding floor, rotating turbolift, swivelling throne) earn modest praise, but the overall build feels small and sparse for nearly 500 pieces. The consensus recommendation is to buy on sale in the $45–$50 range, not at full retail.

Where they split: The main split is on overall satisfaction: enthusiastic fans of the scene rated it highly and emphasized the fun play features and minifigure quality, while more critical reviewers zeroed in on the poor value-for-money and missing film-accurate details (curtains, additional guards, correct helmet variants). A few buyers who purchased the set on sale or bundled it with Battle Packs rated it much more positively than those who paid full retail.
