"This set is really a dream come true. Some of the minfigures in this set are so stellar, such as “Garindan,” better known as the imperial spy. The Ithorian is also fantastic, with his toe printing and beautiful molded head. However, there are little things in the set that are so disappointing, they almost ruin the set. First, the new stormtrooper helmet mold is gross. It lacks playability (the trooper can’t even turn his head!!) and looks like it was run over by a steamroller. I don’t understand how lego hasn’t reverted back to the older superior mold. It’s far better, and allows kids so many more options for playing with them. Second, no greedo arm printing. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker. Lastly, lego always advertises the torso molds with perfect flesh colors underneath the folds of the jackets. But when opening the mini figures, the flesh is completely whited out and incorrect. It’s scummy, and a straight up scam to advertise one product and deliver a bad substitute. I attached pictures comparing the instructions and promo pictures to the real thing."

Notice the distinct difference between his head flesh color and the neutralized chest printing on the torso, along with the instructions.

The worst offender, his chest looks whiter than the jacket printing itself.
"The set is ridiculously overpriced. For $80, I would assume you'd get more than 3 mini-figures, and if not, then enough pieces to warrant that price! All three mini-figures are extremely mediocre and don't warrant the price mark-up that happened. The build was fine, the ship is very good looking. The problem is price and mini-figure selection."
