"Duel on Starkiller Base earns a Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 64.4: it is a clever little vignette with genuinely fun interactive features and a desirable Kylo Ren variant, but at $19.99 for 191 pieces critics consistently felt the price exceeded the set's scale, and the missing Finn figure remains the obvious unfulfilled wish."
The Duel on Starkiller Base (75236) is a compact, cleverly designed vignette that earns cautious appreciation from expert reviewers while generating much stronger enthusiasm from casual buyers. Owner ratings are high at 4.79 across 774 reviews, but dedicated critics at Brickset, JANG, and Solid Brix Studios all flag the $19.99 price as 10 to 25 percent too high for a 191-piece set, and the missing Finn minifigure as the most obvious omission. The BrickScore of 64.4 reflects a Mixed Reviews verdict: the scene recreation is creative and the interactive features work well, but value for money holds it back.
Where they split: There is a notable gap between the high casual owner ratings (4.79) and the more measured expert assessment (BrickScore 64.4). Brickset and Solid Brix Studios both recommended waiting for a price reduction at retail, while most owners writing reviews did not share that hesitation. Critics were also more bothered by the missing Finn and the accuracy issues with Kylo Ren's scar and hands than general buyers appear to have been.

Brickset Reviews
"it's the duel on Star Killer base and features obviously kylo Ren and Ray in their little forest scene towards the end of the movie"
JANG's LEGO Reviews"I feel like this should have like a third minifigure and that third figure should be Finn be really cool if we got a battle-scarred Finn we'd never gotten a figure like that I think that would have been really cool"

Owners find this a clever and fun vignette that recreates the Starkiller Base duel well for its price, praising the toppling trees, earth-split hinge feature, and Rey and Kylo Ren minifigures, though some feel it is slightly overpriced and lacks strong display value.
