LEGO Star Wars Ghost & Phantom II

To start, the build is fantastic and super fun. Reminded me a lot of Star Wars Rebels a show I grew up watching. Also I really think the outer haul is the best looking play scale star wars ship to date from Lego. However, the minifigs were rather lackluster. From a quantity perspective, I think a $160 set should included more figures. And didn't have much appeal outside of Hera and Chopper. I would have liked to see other characters from the Ashoka show that were more important. That's not the say the minifigs were bad, I just didn't feel they were important to the set or show.

The ship itself and the build is amazing. And the minifigs are quite fun. Tho Jaycen's hair is the wrong color and I don't quite care for him and the other two. Chopper and Hera look amazing tho and the fact all figures can man the Ghost and Phantom make the selection very nice.The definitive sour note is the stickers. While I do not mind stickers usually and have grown to be pretty adept at applying them, these were majority clearbacks (which was not always needed) and felt terrible to apply. Especially the sticker on the canopy left a sour taste in my mouth as it darkens, and its right above the amazingly printed piece, making it kinda stand out. Tho my main gripe is the fact a lot were clear backed, which could have also been solid stickers with white ... MoreThe ship itself and the build is amazing. And the minifigs are quite fun.

Especially the ones you gotta put inside L shaped pieces, making so quite difficult.All in all, the set looks great once done and I like the play features and room inside. They used space well and it looks worth your money, with the only downside being stickers that are clearbacked, rather than with a more (in my opinion) practical solid background.

I'll try not to bore you with everything the other reviewers have stated, however I will give my honest review of the set. 1st we have the price which is pretty good for what you get so good job LEGO. Next all the people wanting a port for chopper...at this scale which is around micro figure scale it would look ridiculous! Chopper in this scale is about the size of a stud so just use a 1x1 round plate and be done with it. Speaking of scale I guess this is play scale but that being said the connection points for those fabulous angles on the ship are terrible and not strong enough to really "play" with the ship. Depending on how you pick it up (thinking like a child would) the panels sometimes pop free as they aren't connected with any REAL strength in mind, just the ... MoreI'll try not to bore you with everything the other reviewers have stated, however I will give my honest review of the set. 1st we have the price which is pretty good for what you get so good job LEGO.

This being said I rate swooshability at about a 3-4 out of 10. There are a few gaps that could have easily been filled in like the one just behind the cockpit. Also looking from behind there are 2 huge holes running up the side of the ship that need addressing. While we're at the back, the engines are spectacular! The frosted blue does add that pop the old trans blue didn't have and the design of the engines overall is a win! There's some really good interior detail as well. I personally love the sink. But...the cockpit leaves a lot to be desired! The designers definitely spent more time making the top look good and clearly the incomplete, inaccurate, awful looking underside proves this. Instead of those missile launchers we should have had a ramp under the nose not under the side hatches. I get the play aspect and it is a neat feature but it could have been done better. The landing gear are a joke and look more like pedestals used for building the model than actual landing gear. In addition to all the problems with the build of the ship this set has about the lamest selection of minifigures of the 3 Ahsoka sets. Not to mention the lack of green hair...that was pure laziness on the part of LEGO. For a licensed minifigure I don't know how you can get by making something so inaccurate.That's the good and bad of this set. Basically it's not bad for the $ if you enjoy fixing the designer's mess ups and want a good project to turn into a semi accurate display piece. I'd buy it. I DID buy it! Not 100% happy with it but not too upset with it either as I like the challenge of fixing sets.
