Welcome! Here is another picture show and review of my latest acquisition, it's the Lepin 05111 Jakku Quadjumper. This set is a knockoff copy of the Lego Quadjumper 75178 set.
The Jakku Quadjumper was only in the Star Wars VII The Force Awakens movie for a few seconds.
The Lepin version of the Quadjumper building set has 482 pieces. Despite it being one of the newer Lepin sets, this one doesn't come in numbered bags. There's several bags of parts which you have to manually sort through.

The sticker sheet which I won't be using.
Funny that the instructions are a complete copy of Lego that does have numbered bags. You can see the ever present orange brick separator in one of the bags. I have so many of these now.
The Minifigs
The set comes with four Star Wars character minifigures and a BB-8. The faces and hairpieces on the minifigs are kinda yucky, especially on Finn and Rey. You might want to consider replacing the minifigures, especially Rey and Finn.
The Build
The quadjumper build after Step 10. The fuselage, so to speak.
Step 20. The landing gear.
Step 30. The storage compartment.
Step 40. Starting the cockpit.
Surprise!, the cockpit canopy glass is actually decent and not scratched or milky.
Step 50. The Engine exploders installed.
Step 60. Completing the cockpit.
Step 70. Closing off the cargo compartment.
The completed canopy is also double jointed. Seating for two. Not liking the giant gap between the canopy and the ship though.
Lower Engine one installed.
Lower Engine two completed.

The Verdict
I totally enjoyed building the Lepin Quadjumper. The brick clutch was good for most pieces, except the dark orange pieces that make up the cladding on the upper engines. Bricks were not scuffed, nor was the canopy.
These were the extra parts leftover from the set, but as I pointed out earlier, I was missing 2 1x1 tiles, not really a big deal. Probably the most disappointing part of the set was the look of the minifigures.
I would recommend this set to any Star Wars fan who wasn't able to get the original Lego 75178 set. It's virtually identical except for the minifigures. I would give this a 4.5 out of 5 rating.
A big thank you to Jeremy, a private seller on Reddit, who sold me this set at a great price. My set arrived, super quick, in just over two weeks.
