My first lego polybag!
This set made me in love with lego minifigs and small sets.
How simple the parts are and how real it is to symbolize a ninja car.
I dono why it is rated so low, it's simply a gift product.

This set is totally underrated!!
Normal Parts, simple building, but the best playability!
The guards are armed with fantastic weapons, and you can make an awesome battle scene.

Nice Looking!
It looks fantastic! The design, colors, and details are the best of all lego cars, surpassing all vehicles from the technics theme.
The only drawback of this car is that it does not have cylinders, making it only a model but not a real car.
It's really fun to play since there are 2 different modes and multiple license plates choices, and you can easily lift up the rear chassis thru spinning a hidden gear.

Good supplement!
I remember when it first got leaked, the minifigs are recognized as HP, Doris Crockford, Dedalus Diggle, & Rufus Scrimgeour. Though at last 2 of them are not officially named and Rufus was actually Mr. Borgin, the set itself is still a great supplement for the Diagon Alley.
- Minifigs: The selection is great for huge HP fans or those who own the great Diagon Alley set. (but it might not be very friendly for others.) I suppose the 2 unnamed figs are Doris Crockford and Dedalus Diggle, as the figs do look like them, who appeared in the first movie at the Diagon Alley. I'm grateful for lego to increase completeness to the HP characters even though these 2 are usually ignored. Mr. Borgin, on the other hand, is quite impressive in the second movie, but the fig itself isn't very similar to the real Borgin. Btw I hope lego could remake the Borgin and Burkes store soon.
- Parts: Dumbledore Army's printed tile is awesome, and exclusive ofc, and 2 potion bottles are beautiful, even though they're not exclusive. It is still the cheapest way to get these 2 pieces.
- Value: $15 is usual for a minifig pack like this. Anyway, I think it is worth the price compared to the previous HP minifig pack.
- Drawbacks: the design of minifigs used many old parts from other figs, which lego has always been doing like that...
I encourage lego to continue making HP minifig pack cuz it's a great way to add playability to HP's other large sets as HP is a world with so many characters and accessories.

Don't understand why it's sooo underrated.
I want to say something about this set cuz it is definitely underrated in my opinions. People are talking about 2 main downsides of it: Obi Wan's figure is not accurate and it costs too much.
They are both true, but I don't think it is a big issue for the minifig, as kids won't care. Also, lego's being lazy of course, but we should blame lego instead of this set. And about the price, you can wait for discounts, as I got one for $56 (w/ tax). I think $50-60 is a fair price range for this set, but $80 isn't too unreasonable as it still includes a grievous, a printed cockpit window part, and some large pieces.
Here is my review:
Pros:
- I enjoyed the building progress. For a small set like this, the designer still includes many fun building details in this set, such as the sliding panels on both sides of the engine. Friendly building techniques to kids, and no stickers.
- The whole model is very stable and tight, unlike many other small sets that are relatively fragile. Also the model is fairly accurate.
- For playability, I really like the design that hides all 4 lightsabers inside the engines. You don't need to worry about losing one when you put grievous inside the cockpit.
- Minifig includes grievous and the 212 Airborne Trooper, which I think are pretty good.
Cons:
- Playability: There is a spring shooter under the ship, as it might be dangerous to kids cuz it is normally where we hold the fighter, so that it easily jumps out.
- Value: It costs too much.
