Star Wars Lego

2008-07-05
My nephew enjoyed putting the star wars ship together and playing with it afterwards. He always liked to play with legos and stimulates his brain so we encourage him to play with it always!

Best as an supplementary set.

By all means a good set. I was happy to have bought it.

Those expecting a difficult or well-built set will be disappointed, simply because that is not what it is designed for. It is for those that want to "build their army" (as the box says) of stormtroopers. I did not own any stormtrooper minifigures or blasters, and this set comes with three. For the price of $10, I think it is worth it. You get an added shadowtrooper, as well (basically a re-skinned black stormtrooper from the Star Wars Expanded Universe), which looks pretty cool.

The vehicle itself is essentially a jumble of slope pieces with a glass canopy as the cockpit. Not hard to build, not all that exciting.

Overall, this set is great because it does what it says it does, it builds your minifig army. Otherwise, if you're looking for a fun build, look for a bigger set.

Lego Star wars Armies

2008-06-03
If you ever wanted to build a lego imperial army this is the set for you.. get about 3 of them and you have at least 9 Imperial storm troopers. (Note that this set only comes with 3 troopers as opposed to the Clone and rebel sets.)

Good fun.

This set goes with another set that is fun. I gave it not the highest durability because the wind-sheild pops off sometimes. It is cool in the back because there is a removeable platform,(witch swings back and forth), wings that go up and down, and two blasters. The wind-sheild moves up and down, and it comes with a dark trooper. Pretty neat!

A great set for a Lego 'quickie.'

While I'm a very big Lego Star Wars fan, I'm usually only interested in the bigger, more grandiose sets. One random day I thought I'd give this set a try, and I'm glad I did.

You can curl your fingers over the finished dropship; It has a very nice compact and durable feel to it. I finished it in about 10 minutes (not counting the time it took to separate the pieces and organize them for easier access, which I always do). A lever in the back allows a loading platform to quickly and smoothly drop troops wherever they're needed. The only thing is that the Empire's symbols on the ship come as stickers, which I hate on Legos. I wish they'd print them on the actual bricks, but it's not a big deal if you're only going to display the set; Oily childrens' hands would quickly cause the stickers to peel off.

It comes with three regular Storm Troopers and one Shadow Trooper to pilot the dropship, so for ten dollars this is a great set to help you in quickly building up your Imperial army. I might buy a few more to add the Storm Troopers to my collection and build something else out of the dropship pieces!

Overall, I would definitely recommend this set, perhaps even several for the devoted fan!

Army of Clones

Send in the Imperial Dropship with its stormtrooper squad! Equipped with laser cannons and a detachable troop platform, this speedy space transport is ready to battle the Rebellion on any planet in the Empire. Includes three stormtroopers and a shadow stormtrooper pilot. Lift back up to drop the clone troop platform into battle. Imperial Dropship is 4" long. 81 pieces.

Real easy to put together

2008-01-28
I would have to say that this product was one of the easy lego creations that I have put together. Not to mention that Lego spared no expense on making the mini-figures real life like and almost exact duplicates of the movie figures. Of course I would not recommend this toy to 3 years and younger. Older kids might like it and collectors I think would enjoy it as well.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
