Five minifigs in a $20 set is the headline — the dropship itself is a quick build, but the 20th Anniversary Han Solo minifig alone justifies a shelf spot.
Is the price fair?A-Five figs and a named anniversary exclusive for $20 is a fair deal, full stop.
Will you love it?C+The build is forgettable but the minifig haul makes it worth opening.
Holds its value?C+The anniversary label hasn't translated to strong secondary value — it's flat.

The Full Take
The Imperial Dropship is a set that wins on roster, not architecture. Five minifigs at $20 is a stacked deal by any measure, and the gold-lettered 20th Anniversary Han Solo gives it a collector hook that a plain dropship rerelease never would have had. The build itself is honest and quick — 125 pieces, maybe 20 minutes, nothing technically ambitious. It looks fine on a shelf but won't anchor a display; it's more of a background piece than a centerpiece. The troopers are solid army-builders, which has always been this ship's appeal since its 2008 debut. Where it stumbles is longevity — the secondary market hasn't rewarded it the way Anniversary sets sometimes promise. Buy it for the figs, enjoy the build, and keep expectations proportional to the price.
