Two really detailed sandtroopers and a nice quality C3po and R2D2. The speeder bike is too basic, and while the escape pod is nice, it of course is just a backdrop to your imaginary action. Would have been nice if this set actually featured a Dewback lizard, but that would have made it more expensive.","review_amount":"96","rating_original":"4.2","rating_converted":"84.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/70467-review-9490-droid-escape\/&do=findComment&comment=1302071","snippet":"I would pick this set up if you have twenty dollars. If only for the figs, it is a nice set. I see nothing wrong with this set that could turn any Star Wars fan away, or even your basic Lego fan. My final comment is: if you see this set at a store, pick it up. As summer gets closer, it might go on sale, which I see as even better. Don't pass this set up for anything.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"8.1","rating_converted":"81.00","author_name":"JackJonespaw","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/72051-review-9490-droid-escape\/&do=findComment&comment=1340003","snippet":"I'm really still in love with the minifigures from this set, even six months after it came out. I definitely bought this for them; I had most of the parts already. The rest of the really is lacking, the minifigures really are the selling point of this for me.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"40","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":"Masked Builder","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.fbtb.net\/reviews\/2016\/05\/26\/review-9490-droid-escape\/","snippet":"It's nice to see how the certain sets have evolved over time. With nearly 3x the piece count, 9490 Droid Escape costs twice as much as 7106 and is a remarkable improvement over its predecessor. Had this set been priced at $15 it would have been an easy 5 out of 5 but I'll have to knock it down a point for the paltry price per piece ratio. Oh, and that terrible half cone element choice.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"4","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":"Ace Kim","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.eurobricks.com\/forum\/index.php?\/forums\/topic\/65377-review-9490-droid-escape\/&do=findComment&comment=1184216","snippet":"I would have bought the set for the new troopers alone, I cannot wait to open the other OT-sets from this wave!

I think the escape pod could've been a little more detailed. Also, I didn't really like the stickers on the outside of the pod.
