Kuat Systems Engineering RZ-1 "A-Wing"
" This is a pretty good stable mate for the Y-Wing that came out in this series. This is the best looking A-Wing yet, with all the right angles, details, etc. It's durable, and the spring loaded shooters are well hidden with nice button triggers that blend in well with the build. The utility cart/ladder that comes with this is nice as well, that sort of thing always adds to a lively hanger scene. Oh yeah, mini-figures... they are great!! The pilot is good as well as ground crew dude, but I'm really happy that Lando came with this set. That feels like a bonus. This set is a good value for what you get, and who could say no to an A-Wing that looks this good?

Imperial Security Complex - Scarif
" This is a needed set for the Rogue One series, and it plays well with all the others, especially the hovertank, since it comes with one more of those cool orange cargo containers. It looks great and does have some interesting features such as the exploding floor panels, the falling comm tower/door lock feature and (my favorite) the storage tray under the cargo pad. The figures are good, but I think four of them is a little on the short end for a set in this price range. The size of the build itself is fine, but I think one more mini-figure would have been appropriate. That's my only bone to pick with this set. All in all, it's really good and quite important to the Rogue One lineup.

Niima Outpost
" This is a pretty cool set. The Luggabeast is an excellent build. It looks great and it's fun to play with. The outpost itself is pretty nice as well. The plastic awning that covers the pillared walkway looks good, and they give you an extra one, which isn't necessary, but is really nice nonetheless. There are some cool features on the inside, packed into a relatively small space, but the whole thing opens up to give you a lot more room. The figures are good too, and fitting for the scene. The set feels a little pricey for it's overall size, but the parts are there and it seems like it goes well with a lot of the other sets that I own. All in all, this is a good one.

Koensayr BTL-A4 "Y-Wing"
" Well, this thing is about as good as it gets. It is a magnificent representation of the Y-Wing and has a really clever bombing system integrated into it. The build is very durable, even with the fragile looking braces on the trailing end of the engine pods. It's great to play with, or to be used as a display model. The mini-figures are also really nice, but I guess I'm a little disappointed that the pilot is the same guy that comes with the U-Wing. That's really the only little nit-pick I have with what is an otherwise fantastic set. The munition loading vehicle is also well thought out, being able to hoist the bombs into their loading port on top of the starfighter. That really adds a lot of play value. And you get a coffee cup for Admiral Raddus, that is VERY important. It has a high part count, with all the little pieces needed for the fine detail, but I feel you really get your money's worth with this set. It is so well done!

Hidden Gem
" I've actually seen a number of negative reviews for this particular set, so I really wasn't expecting a whole lot. This thing blew me away with how cool it really is! With all my Lego sets on display on the wall, I find myself grabbing this and playing around with it more than any other set I own. The figures are good quality and totally appropriate to the set. The folding cargo bay and detachable excavation walker are super cool! Plus, just the general look and design of the ship is great. It's NOT supposed to be sleek or flashy; it's an industrial ship! I'm glad Lego made this set, it's a lot of fun!

Rebel Man O' War
" I love heavy starships as Lego sets, and this one is a beauty! She really captures the feel of a Corellian style warship and has some cool functions as well. The variable wing feature that contains the sub-light engines works really smoothly and holds into position well. There is a good mini-figure selection, with Ashoka kinda stealing the show. It's over 100$, and the price per part might seem a little high at first glance, but there are some large specialty pieces and just the printed cockpit mold is an expensive piece to manufacture in it's own right. With that taken into consideration, this set really does have good value if you're willing to go for it. Even though I do not rate this product as high as some others, it is my personal favorite in my collection as of now.

Sleek and Rugged
" This is a really strong set, with two quality builds. The mini-figures are both must haves for any Star Wars fan, even if you only get two of them. That's probably still appropriate for a set this size, however. I really can't find too much to complain about here, albeit I'm the type of person who enjoys their toys rather than whine about them.
