Two minifigs in a $20 Star Wars set is the kind of math that makes you grab it without overthinking it. The cannon itself builds fast — maybe too fast — but the value is sitting right there on the price tag.
Is the price fair?A+Two minifigs and a complete little set for $20 — hard to argue with that.
Will you love it?C+Fast build, minimal wow factor, but the minifigs carry their weight.
Holds its value?A-Retired Imperial sets tend to quietly appreciate — this one's no exception.
The Full Take
For $20, the Death Star Cannon ships with a Death Star trooper and an Imperial officer, and that minifig density is rare at this price point. The build is quick — we're talking a single sitting, probably under 30 minutes — so don't come in expecting an afternoon project. What you get is a tidy little display piece with a functional cannon and two solid Imperial characters that slot into any Star Wars collection. The dark grey palette is clean and fits the Death Star aesthetic without any awkward color breaks. It's not a centerpiece, but it was never trying to be one. At $19.99 this is the kind of set that fills a gap without emptying a wallet.
