LEGO Star Wars Ahsoka: Ghost & Phantom II independent review! Improvement almost every way 75357

Another thing to add, you can also put Chopper's head on the left side of the phantom

Jacen keeping Kanan's legacy of miscolored hairpieces alive

I was all ready to criticize this Ghost for the lack of the upper turret being able to rotate, but it was totally worth it to give the set an interior.

oh wow, the interior is SICK for a small lego ship, they really crammed it in there somehow

I’m hoping as this ship becomes more popular that we could someday get a UCS version (probably not as big as the Millennium Falcon, more like the UCS Razor Crest), or at least a version on the scale of the regular Millennium Falcon sets with similar interior space

Love this set. Would’ve been even greater if those panels on each corner could flip up to reveal a bed or table or something

I think it's pretty comparable to the Falcon. In my opinion, having the ghost come around every 10-15 years, but a new falcon every 3 means the Ghost will end up being a little more special to many people. Also, the colors are much nicer to see, and I think it's an altogether more interesting build. I own both, and I think the smaller size is much better for my shelves as well!

Personally i would witch out the blue engines with the transparent orange pieces. Other than that good looking set in general. Just wish the underside was a bit better and the turret could rotate. €160 is doable but definitely feels expensive for its size imo. I would wait for a sale and pick it up closer to €100 down the line.

It's a bummer that since the ghost is less popular, Lego isn't willing to make one the same size as the falcon, when it should really be bigger.

Yeah, I really don't understand the complaints about not having the rebels crew. This was marketed from day 1 that this was going to be based off the Ahsoka show. I don't know if they were just being extremely wishful with their thinking to the point where they tricked themselves into thinking that's what this was going to be, but it really is unfair that some people are dismissing this model solely because they convinced themselves it was going to be something that Lego clearly stated from the jump that it wasn't.

Thank you so much Jang for your consistently honest reviews. It’s always insightful and helps me make an educated purchase.

Thank you Jang for being the only Lego reviewer I've seen so far who doesn't immediately assume the larger lower window is the cockpit! Was so happy to see you put Hera in her proper piloting position! :D

Love the review as always! Great build, I think the size is fine. It would have been nice if they added a few pieces to close up the bottom gaps like you said, but thankfully it seems like its pretty difficult to see the underside of the ship during display. The minifigs could have been a bit better here, 3 full figs + a mini fig and a droid is not great value, especially when two of the full figs are random characters no one really cares about but oh well, the Hera fig is amazing

there’s no differences in this thing that could prevent it from being a rebels-era ghost right? like how the sequels falcon had a rectangle radar dish, etc

This set really looks good. I will probably be waiting for Amazon to have a sale or for Lego to have x2 points. The Jacen hair thing, they probably just gave Lego an image of the kid in costume without his hair/wig green.

I really appreciate the interconnected interior, it does feel like a big boost in believability. Including/even the bottom lamps, the fact that you can throw figs into the ship via those... it just makes it feel like an actual functioning vehicle of the minifigs' world. The build's very attractive overall. I wasn't a fan of the Ghost in particular, but having seen it on screen, I feel rather tempted... there are just too many attractive sets (mostly higher-end) coming out lately, whew!

man, a little more budget and i'd almost call this a UCS with how beautiful it looks

I'm really happy with how this ended up! Thank you for your review! I always consult your reviews before making big Lego purchases myself, just to make sure they're worth it.

First Ghost had the wrong colour hair for Kanan, Second Ghost has the wrong colour hair for his son Jacen. Not surprised, but curious if they will rectify it later.

I hope Lego keeps making good use of interior space. Been wanting this for decades.
