Hapori Tohu Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Today we have another set review for everyone's reading pleasure. Coming to us from a galaxy far, far aways is 75180 Rathar Escape, a set based on 2015's Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. BZPower Blog Assistant Ta-metru_defender has taken some time to share his thoughts on the set in both text and video format. Will this set jump out at you like a Rathtar through a suddenly-unlocked door? Or is it better sealed away on a shelf where it can't hurt anyone? Let's find out together!

Aanchir Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I don't collect Star Wars for the most part, but I was really impressed with this set when it was announced. The Rathtar scene was one I didn't anticipate working so well in LEGO because it combines two things that can be really hard to realize in a playset — big tentacle monsters, and tight corridors. But not only does this set execute both those ideas exceptionally well, it also has great details like the identical series of switches (for that iconic "wrong fuse" moment) and the ability to connect multiples of the set together into a bigger modular layout. It also gives you a generous number of pieces for its price tag (especially for a Star Wars set). Location-based Star Wars sets in general can be a lot harder to create than a typical starfighter, and I think the designer succeeded admirably here.
