Posted January 16, 20169 yr Hi Today quick and short review of a new 2016 Star Wars polybag mini model First a few official information 30279 Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle Year: 2016 Number of parts: 43 Minifgures: 0 Price: promotional item This polybag appear in Poland as free gift to “Kaczor Donald” magazine, issue 2/206 (15.01-11.02.2016).

IMG_0591 by Marek, on Flickr THE POLYBAG Standard polybag packing, showing on front Kylo's shuttle in action. Artwork this time with Kylo Ren as in this year SW boxes. Front 30279-1 by Marek, on Flickr Back 30279 - 001 by Marek, on Flickr CONTENT Inside we have pile of bricks (43 parts plus 2 extra) and the instruction. 30279 - 003 by Marek, on Flickr Instruction 30279 - 002 by Marek, on Flickr Comes folded as in others polybag sets. Parts 30279 - 004 by Marek, on Flickr Not so diverse in colors. Mainly dark bluish gray parts plus some in black, light bluish gray, red, trans red and trans black. There is one interesting part, because of color. 30279 - 005 by Marek, on Flickr Technic axle 4 studs long in red. Technic axles in colors other than black and gray are rather rarely included in sets by LEGO. Here we have one in red color. This axle in red color was released in 4 old Technic and Reacers sets from 2001, 2002 and 2005 then retired to shows again in three sets this year and last year. One exclusive in 2015 and one in Technic and one in Nexo Knights this year. So it is very interesting to see this part in polybag set. It is rather unusual to have rare parts in polybag. THE COMPLETE MODEL 30279 - 006 by Marek, on Flickr 30279 - 007 by Marek, on Flickr 30279 - 008 by Marek, on Flickr 30279 - 009 by Marek, on Flickr It has very simple play feature, opening and closing front hatch. 30279 - 010 by Marek, on Flickr 30279 - 011 by Marek, on Flickr Extra parts left 30279 - 012 by Marek, on Flickr SUMMARY This set is mini representation of set 75104, so it don’t resemble true Kylo Ren’s shuttle from the film very much. But as a promotional item and a polybag set it is quite nice. Grab it if you find it in nice price.
January 16, 20169 yr Nice review! The way the landing ramp comes down is adorable and much more accurate than the big version! I'm gonna make a version of this in black with moveable wings.
January 16, 20169 yr The red axle will no longer be rare. TLG introduced new color coding for axles to make them even easier to find/identify. So I believe that red and yellow will now be standard colors for certain axle lengths. Edited January 16, 20169 yr by Vodnik
