01Middle wing too short, affecting proportions in landed mode
02Cockpit seats only one minifigure (compared to 2015 version which seated two)
03No display stand included despite $140 price point and premium targeting (14+)
04Small ramp that 'doesn't lead to anywhere' and is too small compared to minifigures
05Wings look disproportional to middle fin when in landed mode
06Smaller wingspan than 2015 version despite being more expensive
07Price-per-piece ratio is poor
08Base scene (Mandalorian shuttle crash) less iconic than other potential themes like Maul: Shadow Lord

What reviewers are saying

"I personally think this is the best Lego Star Wars set so far of 2026"

Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle 2015/2016 (Endor version) — This 2026 version is likely the best LEGO Star Wars Imperial shuttle to date and might finally outdo the highly sought-after 2016 version; the 2016 version commands high prices on aftermarket due to Captain Rex-esque Endor minifigure

Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle 2021 version — The 2021 version was pathetic in comparison; this 2026 version is so much better

75100 (2015 Imperial Shuttle) — Indifferent. New version is more proportionally accurate overall and has better body shaping, but 2015 version has better wing proportions and can seat two minifigures in cockpit. 2015 version is bigger with larger wingspan. Reviewer cannot decide which is superior, saying you could argue all day about preference. New version looks better in flight mode; old version more impressive in landed mode.

75313 (2025 Imperial Shuttle from Death Star) — Reviewer prefers the playset version but notes the 2025 version is surprisingly not that small when compared side by side despite being an add-on to a $1000 set.
