Two solidly built fighters
Both starfighters are really nice. In particular, the E-Wing stands out as a remarkably fun build because of the heavy use of technic pieces in the wings--it captures the angles very well and because it's technical, it's all very solidly held together. Shin's starfighter is a bit more typical with lots of plate work and SNOT, and its the radial engine was done pretty well though. All the human mini-figures have nice printing with two sided heads. Overall, this is a nice set.

Star Wars sets are getting way too expensive
Aside from the high price for the piece count, the lightsaber blades are not the right color. This feels really lazy on the part of LEGO. The blades should be a reddish orange, not a red blade like a Sith. If you're going to charge collector's prices, you need to have accuracy.

Absolutely Love these Minifigures!
I thought this set was great, with two full builds and some of my favorite minifigures of the last couple of years. I would recommend this set to a friend, and I will probably buy a second one so I have multiples of the minifigures.

Nearly Perfect
This build starts off with the beefy E-Wing. You really notice the weight of this set just from picking up the box. The instructions come in a nice sealed envelope and are separated into 2 builds. This set is great for sharing although the E-Wing is a bit more advanced than the Starfighter. The techniques used are clever and kept this seasoned builder entertained. The minifigures are very well done and feature nice front and back printing. There are a few stickers that look very nice when applied (YES the cockpit canopy IS printed! ) and really add to the overall look of the ships especially on the Starfighter.
Now for the not so good...the ejector seat/storage space under the E-Wing's cockpit is a bit tight fitting and makes the pilot appear too high up in the window. It looks like he's trying to take a nap. But that said, it is a cool feature for sure. The only real gripe I have with this set is with the Starfighter. The colors are wrong on the end wing pylons. There's no dark red on them in the shots from the show. The red pieces should be yellow. Aside from that, this set is simply amazing! It's also worth mentioning that it is finally nice to see the underside of the wings on a Star Wars set mostly finished. Of the new SW sets I think this one looks the most complete (much more than the disastrous underside of the Ghost and the wings on the Jedi Shuttle ) If you're a fan of the Ahsoka show, you should definitely pick this set up! It was a nearly perfect and surprisingly good build!

Great Set! One Small Problem
Love the build. The ships are surprisingly bigger than the box would have me believe. I love a set that looks good, but I love a set even more when it looks good 'under the hood,' so to speak. This one does both, and has a lot of very cool techniques I picked up for my own skill-set. Only one small issue; the specialty cockpit piece for Shin Hati's Starfighter came with a significant scuff; it's very noticeable, despite my terrible camera, and it's disappointing because I use my Lego as display pieces in my home. I put in a request for a replacement, so I hope that works out, but otherwise, I'm very happy with the set.
Oh, the rebel pilot helmet is phenomenal, too, if you're a minifigure enthusiast. The rest of the figs are great, but that helmet really stands out.

This SET is Awesome!!!
Love the Set overall Ewing is great build and addition Shin Hati's fighter isn't too bad but has nice storage for extra stuff.
My biggest gripe is that the lightsabers are red and I'm pretty sure in the show they are more of an orange. Would have been great to get some transparent orange for them.

New republic xwing
Absolutely fantastic set. Only complaint would be to make it cheaper maybe.

E-wing great
E-wing is great. Glad to see legends material become canon and for it to get its own set (after jek-14’s). Clean design reminiscent of X-wing. Shin’s fighter is okay. It’s not pretty nor as imposing to be honest so I probably would have just gotten the E-wing if I could. Baylan is great so that kind of makes up for it.
