More of a display set, don't you think?
" Appearance:
I love this design not because it was movie-accurate, but because how unique and sinister it looks. Robots work great with these Technic figures (see also: General Grievous). Compared to the movie, the inaccuracies are quite big: It's too slim and too skeletal, and the neck of K-2SO is at a 45 degree angle in the movie instead of being horizontal to the ground, the neck placement is too low. (3/5)

Function/Feature:
My biggest complaint of this set is the lack of movability in the legs (see picture). The design of the pelvis, though accurate to the movie, causes the legs to lose a lot of movability. The thighs can move forward and backward only at a very awkward angle. While all other Buildable figures have no trouble "running" or "sitting", the K-2SO can only be posed in standing positions. I also wish that Lego made the neck "tilt-adjustable" from 0 to 90 degrees, instead of this hunching position (see picture). (2/5)

Value:
It's a $25 set with 169 pieces, which offers the best-in-class pieces-per-dollar ratio; 9 more pieces than the $30 Darth Vader. However, it does not have a weapon. (4/5) "
