Day 183, Quasi-Quarantine: The Fearsome Kylo Ren Command Shuttle Is A Masterpiece

The Kylo Ren Command Shuttle is as intimidating as a completed set as it is as a collection of unopened bags of Legos pieces.

This 1,005-piece set (75256) represents Kylo's personal starship from "The Rise of Skywalker." It's an intricate build, occasionally requiring adult supervision. The build has exceedingly clever and delicate mechanisms for some of the functionality, and the result is well worth the extra time and attention.

The shuttle's wings can straight, tilt, and retract in insanely cool ways. The cockpit is formidable-looking and advertised as capable of holding three minifigures, but that would be a rather tight fit. Two spring-loaded shooters amid a myriad of nonfiring cannons rounds out the build.

The set comes with six minifigures, highlight by Kylo Ren and two of his Knights of Ren. General Pryde and a First Order Stormtrooper are uninspired inclusions, but a striking red Sith Trooper is a nifty addition to the group.

The shuttle is inarguably expensive ($130, even on backorder), but even at that price point, it's one of the better Star Wars Legos builds in recent memory. From look and feel to complexity to included minifigures, I feel the franchise knocked this one out of the park.
