Recommendation: yes 9.7 / 10 by WhiteFang

One of the best impulse sets of all time and definitely an essential one for those whom are keen to build an army of Imperial Solders.

Recommendation: meh 8.2 / 10 by ILikePi

These sets are great for army building. They also come with many accessories. However, if you could only get one of these, I would recommend that you get Pirate Survival. While it doesn't have that many weapons (and has less pieces), most of the pieces are accessories, which is very good.
