WHy such a low score for the minifigs? You get a total of 5 cool minifigs with 4 weapons, anyway that's the maximum you can fit inside the landing craft, so I would say 9/10 for the minifigs.
This set is a bit difficult to build. It has many parts, cool mechanisms and really takes time (it took me 3 hours 30 minutes!). But that's a good thing, isn't that what LEGO is all about? *thumbup*
Those missiles are very powerfull and the bombs are a nice touch too. That's why I would give it 8/10 for design and 8/10 for the idea. *wub*
I know, it's a matter of taste. *wink*
PS: my stormies are with black mouths, not gray as yours.
edit: I don't like the cockpit design - you have to remove the big piece to get access to the pilot. In very very old Space lego sets I have they used a very simple hinge for that, I wonder why it's not the same here. But it's easy to modify it if you have the parts... (at least I think so, I should try).
