"Imho this is the best Lambda Shuttle of LEGO even in look and size. The model gives back the shape of this shuttle very well while contains many playing features. The model has a sturdy, strong structure, it won't fall apart in your hands. Its fair enough detailed and has the best size and scale to minifigs because its playable: you can hold it easily while it has enough interior. Some critics says the cockpit is too long and the bottom door is at wrong part of ship, but I think these are very good compromise solutions to keep the model in handleable size while has the functions. The model is well designed, full with clever solutions like: the balance of cockpit-door; the studless cockpit seats (its very easy to sit in or remove figs); the spring launchers are integrated next to the main weapons so it looks like if they're really shooting; also the main weapons are rotatable setting them to the proper position while landing and flying (like in the movies) ; the wings are holding the landing gears in fly mode, the minifigs and crate are easily removable from the back room, the top wing is very sturdy because of vertical braces, sweet things like the computer screen in the back room, the crate with detonators, the backpack and weapon holder. Summary, this is a very beautiful and functionful, playable ship, congrats to the designers! The price is also fair for 5 unique minifig and almost 1000 pieces."
