Lego | Bought April 28, 2021 | $80 CAD from The Lego Store
Why I Bought It
A 647-piece buildable Stormtrooper helmet replica, about 7 inches tall with a display stand and nameplate, and one of the original three sets that launched LEGO’s Star Wars Helmet Collection. This is the one that got me into the whole helmet-collecting habit in the first place.
Living With It
The crisp white-and-black paneling genuinely looks great on a shelf, and the piece count/detail feels well justified for the price. It’s an obvious nostalgia hit as an original-trilogy icon. The all-white colour scheme shows fingerprints and dust embarrassingly fast, and there are a few visible panel gaps if you look closely.
The Good
- Crisp white/black paneling looks great on a shelf
- Strong nostalgia factor as an original-trilogy icon
- Solid piece count/detail for the price
- Sturdy display stand
The Bad
- All-white colour shows fingerprints/dust easily
- Some visible panel gaps up close
- No opening visor feature
Final Call
Rating: 4/5
