The Full Take
Star Wars Rebels had a devoted fanbase, and The Phantom deserved better than this. The build wraps up fast and doesn't leave you with much to show for it — the ship reads small and hollow next to almost anything else in the Star Wars lineup. Three minifigs for $29.99 sounds reasonable until you're holding the finished model and wondering where the money went. It's not a bad set in the way that insults you, just one that consistently disappoints across almost every axis. Rebels collectors will feel the pull, but everyone else can walk past this one without much regret.
