Imperial Landing Craft Reviews
“Its a nice new sleek update to the Stormtrooper troop transport from years gone. It is a genuinely nice build with some great pieces used and I especially like the look of the cockpit. The Stormtrooper figures and pilot are really well designed and look great.”
The Brothers Brick
“The build isn't particularly interesting, resulting in a finished model that leaves a lot to be desired, based on an unpopular movie vehicle. Oh, and the minifigures aren't unique to the set. And what about the price? At $90 for 636 pieces, this set is more expensive than... More the X-wing at $80, with nearly a hundred fewer parts. If most LEGO builders buy sets for one of several common reasons — great parts selection, an interesting build, cool minifigs, or even just value for the parts — there just isn't a whole lot to recommend about 75221 Imperial Landing Craft.”

Luke, Han and Leia had the classic yellow LEGO faces until 2004, when LEGO switched the figures of its licensed themes to flesh tones to look more like the actors.
Episode IV consists of 55 sets that ran from 1999 to 2027. As of today,
NY Comic-Con 2012 Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder is the most valuable Episode IV set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,004.
