Recommendation: yes 45 / 50 by Masked Builder

Now that I've built this am I still happy with my purchase? I guess I am. This set really feels like it was worth the $29.99. The minifigures weren't designed quite the way I had expected but I'm happier with the way they are now. The fighter is better than I had expected. I had thought that it would be smaller but it's quite large. And did I mention that I'm very happy with all of the new colors in the set? Well I am. I'm always glad to get more orange parts. So in the end this is one of my favorite “The Clone Wars sets."

Given as a Christmas present. Opened box and realized a few bags of Lego were not included - including the bag of mini-figures (the MOST collectible part of a Lego set). We then noticed a different set of tape on one end of the box as opposed to the other. We then noticed scratch marks UNDER the one set of tape. It really appears someone opened the box, took the best part, resealed it so the set could be sold as new, leaving a little boy incredibly disappointed.

From Bricks To Bothans

Recommendation: meh 6.67 / 10 by Nick Martin

It's a good, fun build. The ship is very durable, it's very swooshable, and it gives us figures we've wanted for years. Price alone kills this thing. It's worth it if you can get it on sale, but not for the price they're asking.

Recommendation: no 6.3 / 10 by Blackknight112

It is a nice set, if you like the ship like me, if you just want the figs you can better bricklink them. I strongly advise every one to buy this at the normall price, It's just not worth it. There are so many better sets for the same or lower price (sw an non-sw). You should nly pick this one up in a sale, because you just get to little for your money IMO.
