Two sets crammed into one box should feel like a deal — but at $160, this Throne Room Duel and A-wing combo lands somewhere between 'interesting bundle' and 'why is this $160.'
Is the price fair?C-$160 for what's here is a stretch, even with the bonus A-wing thrown in.
Will you love it?CThe Throne Room scene is cool, but the bundle feels assembled rather than essential.
Holds its value?B-Modest but real — B- hold means it won't crater, just don't expect fireworks.

The Full Take
Bundling the Throne Room Duel with a bonus A-wing is a clever pitch, but the $160 price tag makes it hard to feel like you got away with something. The Throne Room scene has real cinematic weight — it's one of Star Wars' most charged moments — and if the set nails that drama it'll justify its shelf space. Six minifigs is solid, though the build at 962 pieces for this price sits on the wrong side of generous. The A-wing sweetens the deal without necessarily saving it; it reads more like padding than a genuine companion. As a pure display piece it has potential; as a value proposition it asks you to squint a little. A C overall isn't a dismissal, just a reality check: buy this because you want it, not because it's the move.
