LEGO 75314 Star Wars TM The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle

I was excited to get this shuttle for our son’s birthday, he is a big fan of the the Bad Batch series and I must admit I enjoyed watching it with him. We are very pleased with the set, as it is always great to have a ship other than an x-wing or tie fighter in our collection. But I also have some points of criticism.The shuttle, that has rapidly become an iconic ship, looks very nice given its pleasing somewhat unique blue/grey colour scheme, the unusual wing position and overall size. The set comes with quite a few mini-figures and two speeders. Therefore it also offers much play value given the folding wings and the fact that it can be opened to hold four of the figures. Unfortunately Lego continues to include these abominable spring loaded missiles that always shoot when you don’t want them to and that we keep finding around our house - even our children don’t like them. Personally I am less of an enthusiast for speeders, we have plenty of them and I find it strange that even one of them was included in this set. I would have rather have had a slightly larger shuttle with even more inside space.The build o the 969 piece set was enjoyable, it took us about 2.5 hours over a couple of sessions, with me picking the parts and my young padawan putting everything together (even though he is 2 years below the recommended set age). There weren’t any stages that proved tricky for him as a fairly experienced builder. I only stepped in to put the stockers in place, of which there are quite a few. One thing about the completed set I would say is that I’m very much looking forward to Lego to start using ‘reverse’ tiles and plates - most of the spaceship models look stunning these days in particular since they have limited amounts of studs on the outside. However the reverse sides of the wings invariably look ugly and archaic, merely showing the underside or interconnected Lego plates. This is a particular eyesore with this shuttle when its wings are folded up.The figure selection is extremely good with all new figures. There is even a Gonk droid included for Wrecker so that he can waste some time weight lifting it. The likeness of the figures is great but it remains a bit odd that Echo has his hand rather than an electronic tool/hook. However the big, big omission is that there is no Omega figure!! - she plays such an important role in the series, often taking the lead that it seems strange she wasn’t included. Perhaps it was because there was no more space on board or, which I hope, because she will be released in a later Batch Bad set. Hopefully we don’t have to wait until season 2 for that.Also while it is nice to have this set with most of the Batch complete - the first season of the show is well behind us, and the Bad Batch did already appear in the Clone Wars series, several years before. Did Lego really think young children would wait for this set to get such interesting popular character as minifigures? - the young Star Wars fans we know already ordered their unofficial Bad Batch figures ages ago for a very friendly price and those actually look quite good.To summarise, great quality set again that each Star Wars or Bad Batch fan will appreciate. Very pleased that it was made in the first place. But four stars only because of the two speeders and lack of Omega.

As expected amazing quality and amazing design

Love the set, got it a 20% off RRP which is excellent.However I will have to go with a couple of other reviews and say, the box is a little crushed and a delivery label just stuck to the set box which is disappointing. Lego from Amazon usually comes in an outer box for protection.

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid I am when it comes to buying my lovely GrandsonLego.I think they are poorly made out of plastic, not very strong and not value for money.None of this matters as my Grandson loves Lego more than he loves me.I will continue to pay outrageous sums of money if it keeps him happy and engaged.Lego the company is doing well and it’s not hard to see why.They have millions of parents and grandparentsBeing held to ransome by their children

Brilliant product, I love the ship and the minifigures that are included.

Love that it comes with the whole Bad Batch!Took a solid several hours and loved every minute of assembling it! There’s some parts that got a little confusing but I figured it out in a few minutes, it’s not too tricky if you just follow the instructions exactly.Would totally recommend this, especially if you enjoyed the Bad Batch or their arc in Clone Wars.

This item was posted without an outer postage boxThis is unsatisfactory as the item so expensiveNot happy as this is for a giftAnd labels stuck on outer box !

Lego is often pricey but I managed to buy this set in offer so it wasn't *as* expensive. But lovely set, kept the hubby busy for an hour or so Christmas day. Very happy with this purchase.
