Be aware that there are some difficult steps in the assembly process. Most notably: head assembly and decal application to the head.
However, overall this is a great kit. Would absolutely recommend a quality pair of nippers, some fine tipped forceps, and a spudger of some kind to help pull pieces apart in case of incorrect assembly.
Instructions are in Japanese, but the diagrams are good enough that I was able to follow them relatively easily.
Total assembly time: roughly 5 hours give or take. Hard to quit once you get going!

What you get in the box is the twin buster rifle(that can be split into 2 or combined together) 2 green beam sabers. A small 1/144th scale Hero figure(that I will never paint because my hands are way to shaky for that) and a good assortment of hands. This kit is absolutely worth the ~30$ it costs.
I was concerned about the bulky wings not staying in place, but it seems they've hit the sweet spot between easily movable and staying in place. For accessories you get 4 sets of hands (fist, open, trigger, and poseable), the two big guns that can combine together, and a pair of beam sabers. You also get the teeny-tiny pilot figurine and an adapter to mount it on a peg base.
Overall I think this was a great kit to put together and it looks awesome on display. Definitely worth buying.
