Initially i found it difficult to decide which sets to go for from this new wave, eventually settling on Boarding the Tantive IV, and I'm so glad I did. The set was a relatively straight forward build, with some amazing features like the sliding blast door and ability to catapult some figures, as if they had been forced away.
The figures in this set are amazing with a brilliant selection, including the long anticipated Arc Trooper Fives. However, Fives does have some minor floors like the accuracy of the helmet. But this is only a minor issue on an excellent set.
All together, this is a fantastic set to pick up and provides an entertaining building experience, with a brilliant figure selection and looks amazing on display!

Overall a fantastic set with a few minor issues. They detailing in the corridor on the walls is fantastic and the return
of rebel soldier minifigures was done brilliantly. Also the fact that the door “blasts” open is definitely an awesome feature for display and play. Even though fives helmet is completely wrong and we still have no waist cape, I still have fun using him as a generic 501 arc trooper. My main issue is that Lego still uses the fat stormtrooper helmets from 2019. Even the rebels version could at least turn more than 15 degrees. Revert to the 2018 original trilogy stormtroopers sometime please :)

This is the most needlessly intricate build process I've seen so far this year (April 2024). That's not a bad thing mind you, it's just crazy the infinite amount of different pieces used to make up a wall. It's nuts! Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it to a casual fan due to it being pretty bland. For collectors it's a decent display piece. I think young ones would love it most as the high number of minifigs would probably provide much fun play time. As for me, I just really wanted the Clone Trooper Fives exclusive figure, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

While this is a great set, and for the younger folks it probably will be enjoyed for its play features, I will be converting it to a diorama. These iconic scenes should definitely be made into dioramas. So this was a great start to the diorama build for me, but ultimately bought additional legos to turn it into what I wanted out of the set. Overall the build is way more complicated then it needs to be, and the stickers aren't great. The white stickers on white brick stands out like a sore thumb, as they are not the same shade. Its a good not great set and slightly overpriced due to piece count, but the extra figs make up for it a little.
