Two issues, a world of fun!
" The shuttle is great and I am extraordinarily happy to see 2019 sets capitalising on an evident interest in space among Lego fans, but I have two aspects to the set that are problematic:
1: The minifigure needs to be disassembled before flying. More realistic, yes, but to decreases the play value and increases the likelihood of lost pieces
2: The cargo bay doors require a lot of attention to close properly. I rebuilt three times and had my daughter take a quick break so that I could make sure that we (she) built it properly. It is to plan, but the closure, while complete, requires "training" to fall into place properly.
Wishes:
I will give a pass on the satellite not staying attached inside of the cargo hold; it would still be nice. I am assuming that there are extreme size limitations to make this work, even for the in-house Master Builders.
Why no transparent satellite stand? Once it is out, it would be nice of it could stand on its own!
How about some grey jewel pieces for moon rocks? Every kid is taking this for planetary samples.

The wing grows wings...
" Value is there and the Minifigures are top-notch. The only room for improvement is the flimsy wing on the 2016 Ford GT. It does not fare well during play.
Whoever did the Ford GT40 needs a raise! Wow, what a build. "

R2-D2, where are you?
" The build is solid, which is nice for play value, but the set takes a huge hit for no R2-D2. I know that he comes in many sets, so he is not that hard to find, but the whole scene hinges on searching for a runaway R2-D2, who will never be found. I would've paid an extra dollars two for an R2 unit.
Great work on the Tusken raider; the staff feels like an afterthought.
Because there is no R2-D2, this really feels like a luckluster bigger battle pack, dependent on buying another set.

Awesome build, why stud shooters?
" Everything is awesome, until the stud shooters unbalance the storm troopers on an open floor.
Can you please include the classic blasters with the stud shooters? The play is much better, and was definitely welcomed in this year's advent calendar. "

How versatile it is
" I was expecting a top tier ornament for the daughter's nightstand, but Vader holds up incredibly well to play by a four year old, including being dropped from 3 feet up, repeatedly.... Kudos to the designer, you made a Brickheadz that, just like Anakin inside, won't die, won't quit, and certainly will not shy away from having the occasional part re-attached. "

Aren't you a little small to be a TIE pilot?
" I am amazed by how many details were crammed into such a small TIE fighter.
It was nice to not have the stud shooters on a Star Wars model and there be a lot more focus on the accuracy rather than gimmick.
Considering the T-shaped limitations, it hold up shockingly well in a four year old's hands for play (and swooshing, strafing, bombing, and doing aerial manoeuvres to impress Lord Vader) "

I think my Chicken Walker has been drinking!
" The build is great and the price point justifiable (especially since new battle packs are $20 CAD) but the AT-ST suffers from a centre of balance issue which limits its playability, with the constant need to re-establish the footing relative to holding the body in place with the "geared" or "toothed" joints.
The Mixels hips would definitely have been preferred; please, include blasters/rifles with the stud shooters, which are way too heavy and tip the Minifigures way too easily when not on a stud plate.
Deficits aside, the math on a stormtrooper + set is great. "

Please include the pistols
" The build is good and the Minifigures are great at this price point; would you please consider adding the pistols along with the stud shooters that I am sure are moving the Star Wars sets by the truckload.
Not only do the pistols look better, but they don't tip the stormtroopers over when not on a stud/base plate and just on the floor. Kind of hard to get that ominous Imperial invasion feel when everyone is inadvertently playing dominoes!
The stud shooter weight problem is true of all sets; it would seem like a great way to silence adult criticism, as well as increase child play value. I know that my 4 year old is excited to get the sets without the stud shooters because the figures stand up a lot better and asks my why Lego would make such a bad design. Ouch! I know that the weight and size are unavoidable, but for true play, please, pistols and/or rifles along with the stud shooters "

Why no rear facing holders?
" The set is awesome, if a bit fragile. Four rotors would be an improvement, but on the tall back the flat yellow piece should be replaced by at least one holder, as it would be great for the wrench. "

Schumacher & Lauda in my home!
" Love the detail and playability at the pricepoint. It feels like I have Michael Schumacher or Niki Lauda in my own home: the stickers may be wrong, but I can feel the pedigree and passion behind this car. Please keep expanding the Speed Champions line! "
