Pros & Cons
Pros
The kit is amazing, quality of the plastic is really good. It's up to you if you want to get a cutting mat for putting everything together. This is a wonderful model kit in every way.
The detail is stunning and there is not even a hint of flashing. The attention to detail is impeccable. The parts fit together so well that glue really isn’t necessary.
The kit also comes with two droid bodies so you can build both an r2 and r5 series droid. Comes with the regular set of decals and a second set that don't require water they are more like stickers which might be easier for the younger modeler. The dec... Read More
Cons

In fact, glue is not advised on most parts as you can disassemble and reassemble it as desired to reveal other parts.
Price
I was delighted to finally get it and at a good price.
I have been trying t get this model at a good price for some time.
The kit i purchased was by the brand gundam, and was sold by lenx, for about $10.
Shipping
Since it was from japan i expected it to take over a month to arrive but came in in less than three weeks.
It just wasn't on time for his birthday.
It took longer than expected to arrive but it made it and all good, as promised.
Packaging/appearance
The person i gifted it to was thrilled from the unboxing moment to actually being able to use the gift!
The colors on the box didn’t make the exact color of the sticker.
However after opening the box i encountered the plastic silhouette instead of the standing pilot figurine.
Competitiveness
In almost every way, bandai has delivered a product that is far superior than its predecessors.
I would buy another kit the same scale showing the newer star wars designs just as a comparison between to the models and their detailing.
It links to other models in this series.
Personally, i paint all those anyway but for some less experienced or younger modelers, it could be a little bit of a letdown.
