Description

A palette of transparent tones

Three of the four main colours are transparent: trans-red, trans-light blue and trans-neon green, with light bluish grey as the only solid shade. That is an unusual balance, since most sets use transparent parts sparingly. Here they make up a large share of the colour list and give the set a bright, almost glowing character. Next to other Star Wars sets it looks far more colourful than you might expect from a box built around so few distinct elements.

Designed to show off figures

As the name suggests, this set is about presentation. Its three minifigures are the main attraction, while the rest of the pieces frame them. Display sets like this are meant for a shelf or cabinet rather than the playroom floor. The parts list on this page shows exactly which figures are included and lets you check whether a second-hand copy is complete, which matters a great deal when a set is bought mainly for its figures.

Six elements, lots of repeats

Only 6 unique elements make up the 30 pieces, so a small number of parts appear many times over. For a display set that is logical: a simple base keeps attention on the figures. The build is quick and needs no experience at all. If you collect parts, you gain quantity rather than variety here, which can still be handy when building stands, plinths or simple bases for other figures in your own collection.

Part of a numbered series

The number 4 in the name signals that this is one entry in a series of display sets. Owning several allows you to line them up into a small figure gallery. The parts list here names every element with colour and quantity, which helps when sorting or buying a copy. What can I build? compares your pieces with other sets and highlights those you can already complete or are only a few parts away from finishing.
