A Massive Improvement
on March 20, 2020

The previous Kylo Ren's shuttle was very disappointing. The key feature of the set was missing: angular wings.
This set addresses that immediately. The engineering used to get this mechanic to work is oddly satisfying. The only issue is that the wings are always at the mercy of gravity when angled outwards. I wish there was a built in function that prevents this such as the mechanism in the Tie Striker from 2016 (75154).
Other than that, the minifigures are superb, the build is satisfying, and the play-ability is bar-none.
4/5 because of annoying gravity problem with wings.
I bought this for my son and helped him assemble it. I would describe the build experience as frustrating at best. Specifically bag 7 with the red supports: if you miss one of the pivots you’ll be taking the wing apart to get it out.
Play value will be limited because of how flimsy the assembled set feels. If you fold the wing tip down incorrectly plates will go flying. The entire thing rattles like a mid 80’s sedan. I’ve found this to be true of many of the Star Wars builds, though. The design team for these sets should go visit with the Creator Expert team. Every time I’ve assembled a Star Wars set I feel as if I need to go get extra vaccinated beforehand. All of my Creator sets feel extra solid. Even the Space Station feels more solid, and it’s nothing but pieces sticking out.
At least it didn’t have stickers (I’m looking at you, upcoming Razor Crest.)
It's a pretty big set. The wings are better then the first Command Shuttle and more flexible. The Kylo Den figure looks cool with the red cracks. Mine came with the angry side of his face uneven. The knights of ren figures are my favorite. The weapons are long but they look nice. The sith trooper looks nice with his red armor and unique blaster. The General Pryde figure and regular trooper are ok. The ship only fits 3 figures. The back part of the ship doesn't hold any figures because it has the spring that moves the wings. Overall it's a good ship and a fun build.
It was kinda a tricky build, there were some obstacles in the build but overall it was worth the money. Also I love playing with my legos but this one was not a good one to play with. Why? I don’t know if it was my Pieces but every time I would play with the Lego the side pieces will fall off and they are tricky to put back in.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit was amazing the detail was great. The multiple little figures were a very nice detail, and the size was just right. Me and my daughter love Star Wars so it was a perfect match. We both had fun putting it together, it was a nice bonding time activity. I hope it is the first of many sets we do together. That’s what is good about legos you can just take it apart and do it again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an incredible model! My son loves Kylo Ren, and he was thrilled with this. The wings were challenging to build, but it was well worth it. He especially loves how you can move the wings and actually shoot things out! Perfect for any Stat Wars lover!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is so cool. Our 10 year old was able to get most of it built by himself in about 5 hours. He needed a little help with the wing hinges. He said that it was a little challenging due to most of the pieces being black, but he really enjoyed building it. The wings fold in and fold down a bit, I think that's really neat. We love the minifigures. Everything is very detailed and it just comes together and makes a really fun toy to build and play with. There are a ton of pieces, just over a thousand, but they were all there, no missing pieces. We had, and will continue to have, a lot of fun with this set.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kylo Ren's Shuttle™ keeps my daughter entertained for hours playing. It has men to play with after you build the shuttle. It's amazing because she can take it apart and rebuild it and keep her mind active. It's not overly challenging to build with assistance from me which I think is good as it gives us time together.
