It could also be good for a LEGO starfighter collector’s lineup, but other than that, I do have some trouble recommending this set. It’s not all bad – it is quite fun to swoosh around – but at its price and considering the competition, I think there are better sets out there. Others have mentioned Ahsoka's starfighter and her Eta-2 would have been ideal. After all, Ahsoka is a focal character this year, so releasing the interceptor from the beginning of the arc which essentially defines her character would be perfect." I do feel the model looks nicer in flight mode, and thus it’s a shame you can’t display it in flight mode without looking like it has just crashlanded.
