92 pieces, no minifig, $24.99 — and somehow it works. The Elite Praetorian Guard is a pure display piece that punches above its price tag, even if the build itself is over before it starts.
Is the price fair?A+At $24.99 for a display-ready figure, the value is hard to argue with.
Will you love it?CNo minifig and a quick build means the payoff is the shelf, not the process.
Holds its value?ARetired and holding — this one has quietly become a solid keeper.
The Full Take
The Elite Praetorian Guard battlepack is one of those sets that exists in a weird, specific niche: too small to be a centerpiece, too visually sharp to dismiss. The crimson armor is faithful to The Last Jedi's aesthetic, and the figure looks genuinely menacing on a shelf. There are no minifigs, which is either a dealbreaker or irrelevant depending on who you are. At $24.99 for a display-worthy buildable figure, LEGO® left room for collectors to feel good about the purchase. The build is short — this is not a Saturday afternoon project — but what you get out the other side holds up. A C+ overall, with an A+ on price, says it all: a limited set that gets the important thing right.
