“It's nice to see how the certain sets have evolved over time. With nearly 3x the piece count, 9490 Droid Escape costs twice as much as 7106 and is a remarkable improvement over its predecessor. Had this set been priced at $15 it would have been an easy 5 out of 5 but I'll... More have to knock it down a point for the paltry price per piece ratio. Oh, and that terrible half cone element choice.”

“This is certainly a set that minifig collectors will want to get hold of (but then, I think all Star Wars sets fall into this category these days, don't they?), although as with all SW sets it carries a hefty price tag so you may want to wait until it's on offer at Amazon,... More or 3-for-2 or something.”
