Great value

#8 of 123 Star Wars sets with 500–999 pieces

Fifteen minifigures for $39.99 is about seven times the usual rate for a mid-size Star Wars set, the highest in its group. It also gives about 99 pieces per $10 against a typical 76 and costs about 30% less than its contents usually sell for. Plastic per dollar and the 4.1 rating are only typical, which keeps it at good rather than great.
