It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment... I'm sure that they were provided with decent details/sketches but it's butt ugly and it most certainly doesn't do justice to some of the recent designs LEGO has produced. That and it appears they missed a big play feature in how the wings fold into a V shape for swooshing... I mean come on! If you can't swoosh it like the movie, then I don't want it!
Maybe it's a neat build, maybe it's the only way to get Kylo Ren (for now) but the only thing uglier is the submarine set. Yes, that's my opinion... some will love it, I don't. I also think the Kylo Ren minifigure is ugly too... What is with that big oversized helmet? It is totally the wrong shape IMO. This isn't Space Balls, its Star Wars.
