>>7347918>)>>7347922>>7347927>>7347931>>7347935>>7347943this set seems to want to capture three markets;
- the crowd that loves action features (the box art lists 'Action blasts' as a thing, wherein you hold the ship like a NERF gun)
- the crowd that loves Microscale sets (I personally believe this to be an older-than-usual crowd but cannot substantiate this)
- the crowd who just likes minifig-sized models
The problem is that in trying to appease and secure all three of those groups, LEGO seems to have missed the mark three times over. Why, you ask? Because these markets don't mesh well at all, and hamfisting various elements that appeal to various groups takes precious space and pieces away from others. No AFOL is gonna go 'pew pew' with the NERF blasts and no kid is going to treat this set exclusively as a mantlepiece. The folk who love minifigs lose out because the interior will be completely subservient to the other groups, and besides, only two semi-exclusive figs are included.
Big miss at a big pricepoint, for which you can get much, much, much better sets and better value. You could get 13 Benny's Space Squad for the same amount of money, which nets you 52 Classic Space styled minifigs. That beats "Chris Pratt^2; Schizophrenia Edition" with a few raptors you could just farm from the Vest Friend Rex CMF, as far as I'm concerned.
