Recommendation: no 75 / 100 by KielDaMan

Going back to the original question, is this set worthy enough to purchase aside from the “I really want that awesome Queen Amidala minifig badly" motive? I'd say yes, but only if you're really a fan of well-made SW vehicles.

Overall I think this is an excellent set. It's an interesting build, full of useful pieces, and the end product looks great and exactly as it should do. The arguably superfluous minifig Queen Amidala is the icing on the cake and makes this the 'must have' Star Wars set of this summer.

From Bricks To Bothans

by Nick Martin

I think LEGO missed the boat on this one. There are better things that need a rehash out of Episode I (like, say, the Flash Speeder) that would have been better to put Amidala in. This one is the worst kind of mix, a set that's bland and a bad value. Or they could have added something more to this to make it work (maybe Boss Nas, or a brick fish or two). In the end, the actual model looks good, it really does, but that can't get you to forget the price and how bad the value is.
