Synthesized Verdict

"Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle scores 44.7 and earns a Skip It verdict. At 18.1 cents per piece, weak minifigure value, and a 30% recommendation rate from LEGO direct buyers, the numbers are hard to argue with. The only reason to buy at full price is deep franchise loyalty."

Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle scores 44.7 on the BrickScore and earns a Skip It verdict, reflecting weak performance across nearly every measured dimension. The expert consensus rates parts value at 32.9, minifigures at just 20, and value for money at 32.1 out of 100. Owner ratings are sharply split: general retail buyers at Walmart and Amazon average 4.2 to 4.5 stars (many from casual gift purchasers and Star Wars fans), but LEGO direct buyers give it only 2.89 stars with a 30% recommendation rate and a value-for-money score of 1.93 out of 5. The LEGO buyer signal is the more informed population and tells the real story.

Where they split: The sharpest divergence in this batch: casual retail buyers (Walmart/Amazon, 4.2 to 4.5 stars) rate it positively while LEGO direct buyers (2.89 stars, 30% recommendation rate, 1.93 value score) are strongly negative. The casual purchasers appear to be gift buyers or young fans rating the Star Wars theme rather than the set's merits as a LEGO product.

What reviewers are saying

"Really making it one of the most overpriced sets of the year so far."

Five Lonely Clones

"Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle is an odd duck (or bat) in the midi-scale lineup."

The Brothers Brick

"On the whole, the return of Sequel Trilogy source material in LEGO form is off to a middling start with 75406 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle."

Jay's Brick Blog

"The all black design on Kylo Ren Shuttle is definitely one of my favorite sequel trilogy ships."

MandRproductions

"$386 pieces. $70. Let that just sink in for a second because I don't know about you, but this might be one of the worst price per piece ratios I have seen in a set."

Ecosystem

Acclimator — The Acclimator is significantly better than this set because its build is better looking and it has way better structural integrity

Invisible Hand — The Invisible Hand is significantly better than this set because its build is better looking and it has way better structural integrity

Home One miniscale model — Home One is similarly priced but contains around 200 pieces more; however, Kylo's shuttle uses much larger elements for wings, making piece-size comparison complex.

Executor miniscale model — Similarly priced to Kylo's shuttle; piece count comparison favors Executor but wing element size differs.

Dimensional Analysis

Investment Layer

Exclusivity

The Brothers Brick: Part of LEGO Star Wars line and midi-scale Starship Collection; no exclusive minifigures

MandRproductions: LEGO-exclusive; 18+ adult set marking the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens

Resale

Solid Brix Studios: Unlikely to appreciate; poor pricing at launch suggests weak resale prospects unless it becomes rare.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Harry Potter wand (red)
Used as Kylo Ren's lightsaber in the midi-scale build; designers sneak in tiny versions of key characters inside the build
1×2 trans-red tile (cockpit windscreen)
The cockpit glass is represented by a 1×2 trans-red tile, which lacks the menacing lower section of the in-universe craft's windscreen.
click hinges (wing mechanism)
The wing angle relies on click hinges
Translucent red cockpit piece
Sandwiched between black, replicated from larger model, visually striking detail
Ski poles used as front weapons
Creative part usage creating effective weapon design on the front of the shuttle
Dark gray engines with orange exhaust
Creates contrast and makes the engines visually pop on the back of the model

What Owners Say

+Fun and engaging build experience, typically completable in a few hours
+Appreciated as a display piece alongside other Starship Collection models

COMMON COMPLAINTS

−No minifigures included, which owners consider unacceptable at the price point
