Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
Review for LEGO set 7659 Imperial Landing Craft from CollectionDX
“This set is a gamble on the part of Lego: that kids & collectors would buy a set based on the obscure, hard-to-see, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo it makes in the Special-Edition version of Episode IV. It’s a bit squatter, but it fits the general shapes, functions, and... More appearance of the Sentinel-class assault shuttle.”
