"I would like to stress straight away that I bought this set at a heavy discount, the RRP of £64.99 is outrageous in my opinion.
The set has a few neat little play features, and details such as the oculus are nice touches. The build was relatively straightforward with a few interesting techniques in places.
Unfortunately the set contains quite a few stickers, and a couple are hard to apply in an attractive way (the ones inside the lift in particular).
The real draw for this set was always going to be the minifigures, mainly the Praetorian Guard. I would say that whether or not you buy this set will depend largely on how badly you want them.
Overall this is a pretty average set that carries a ridiculous price tag. If you can’t wait to get those Praetorian Guard minifigures it’s maybe worth a purchase, if you can wait I certainly would. (After all, they’re bound to show up in a £12.99 battlepack eventually, right)?"

Neat Set, Appalling Price
"A nice little set with some decent play features, but I imagine the price will put many off. At £40 for 269 pieces the price per piece ratio is pretty bad. Even with the inclusion of two rare and desirable minifigures it's too much, and its a shame to see Thrawn finally released in Lego form only to come in such an overpriced set, (coincidence)?"
