"75221 Imperial Landing Craft earns a BrickScore of 42.5 and a Skip It verdict backed by two independent critics: despite a standout Imperial pilot minifigure, the set's wasted interior, inaccurate proportions, wrong minifigure selection, and $90 price tag make it hard to recommend when better Star Wars sets exist at the same budget."
Expert critics are in clear agreement: 75221 Imperial Landing Craft is a disappointing set that fails on most of the metrics buyers typically care about. JANG scored it 45 and called it "not that great of a representation of a Sentinel class shuttle," while The Brothers Brick scored it 40 and concluded there is "just not a whole lot to recommend." The only bright spot both reviewers acknowledged is the Imperial shuttle pilot minifigure. Critically, real buyers diverge sharply from the experts: 223 owner ratings average 4.58 out of 5, but LEGO's own signals tell a more honest story with a value-for-money score of only 3.0 out of 5 and just 67% would recommend, closer to the expert verdict.
Where they split: The raw Amazon owner average (4.7 stars) looks positive, but LEGO's internal signals tell a different story: only 67% would recommend and value-for-money scored just 3.0 out of 5, aligning more closely with the critics. Expert reviewers from two independent sources both recommend skipping the set, forming one of the clearer critical splits in the batch between surface ratings and considered evaluation.

"This is not that great of a set in my opinion. Not that great of a representation of a Sentinel class shuttle. It really needed more space, more usable space to carry troops."

Owners appreciate the sleek design, minifigure selection, and sturdy build, but are divided on value and frustrated by design shortcuts like non-retracting landing gear, gaps, and durability issues.
