Snowspeeder Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As a Star Wars set, 75049 LEGO Snowspeeder is a good investment and has been slightly outperforming a typical Star Wars set with an average annual growth hovering around 10%. While not the best year over year return for this theme, it still is a terrific investment for collectors.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
“The main build is, of course, the eponymous Snowspeeder. It is white all over and is pretty sleek. Overall, I think this is not a bad set. The figures are nicely detailed and the model looks pretty sleek. However, I find the price rather high, honestly, and something like... More £19.99 (UK), $24.99 (U.S.), $39.99 (Aus), and $49.99 (NZ) would’ve been more reasonable in terms of the speeder’s size.”

“I’m very pleased with this set. If you already have a version of the Snowspeeder, this might not be a must buy, but it’s still worth the purchase. The printing and detail on the minifigures is absolutely fantastic, and the snowspeeder itself is really well done. I have... More absolutely no qualms about recommending this set for children or adult collectors.”
