The Full Take
The Droideka is one of the coolest Star Wars designs ever put to plastic, and this set manages to do almost nothing with that. Thirty pieces gets you essentially nothing to build and very little to look at. The lone minifig is the only bright spot, and even that's a stretch when the whole package feels like a blind-bag afterthought in a polybag disguise. There's no build experience worth mentioning, no shelf centerpiece, no playable anything. For what you pay versus what lands in your hands, this one's hard to defend on almost any front.
