Grr, I had it written down, but I never got my paper back when I was getting the set from the back room. If I recall correctly, it ended in -00-0605, but I can't be certain.

Thanks, Inconspicuous. All Legos at least recent one's that I've bought all start with 204. Can't wait to go look for this set during the rest of the week.

Wow, that was quite fast...

Well, if I find this set (hopefully an exclusive to Target, or something accessible) I will definitely get it. I love the minifigs, and the ship is okay. The ship is actually bigger than I expected, and contains a good number of seats.

Thanks for a very good review inconspious

I really like the look of this speeder. Great set of figs as well to it.

Still can´t understand why they didn´t make a Aurra Sing to go with it though.

very nice review.

This set is a must have for me too. But yeah, 50$ is really too much for such a few pieces. Anyway, I will buy as it is the only way to have cad bane and senate guards without buying priceless sets.

Finally, we are all ready to put this price because the minis are essential ones for Star wars collection...

I think TLG took the easy way out and just 'reused/redesigned' the existing pirate head for Shahan, though it would have been really better if they did Aurra.

Thanks for the review Inconspicuous :cry_happy::thumbup:

I have to agree the minifigures are for most of us the main reason for buying this set.

And especially the senate commando captain, being exclusive to this set together with Shahan Alama.

DSS:

The DSS (Dreaded Sticker Sheet for those who don't know) has eight stickers on it, which aren't that bad with the exception of the triangular ones. I strongly dislike stickers that go on the side of wedges. I dislike stickers anyways, but even more so to ones like these.

Yes, I prefer printed pieces as do almost all of us. Adding to your comment of triangular ones/wedges are attaching stickers to round parts, which is horrible when/if the glue wears off overtime - but maybe you were reffering to that as well...

I don't think I have ever seen such clear pictures!

You almost have me running to the story and buy one of these...

thanks for reviewing this set, if it wasn't for the price tag i might buy this set but i can't justify £45. Would love Cad Bane and the senate captain (hoping for magnet set)

Thanks Inconspicuous for this more than excellent review. Although I'm not a great fan of this set you almost made me buy one!! Good photos, nice lay-out, excellent selection of pix. Well done :thumbup:

Sorry for the odd lighting and colors- it's dark here right now.

Thanks! It's a really interesting piece. I may have to get one and see what sort of minifigs I can come up with.

This set is apealling for the minifigs, but so expensive. I also which Lego made a smaller speeder, somehow it looks more chalenging, and it would blend in a lot easier with other speeders and sets.

I also just noticed that the clones which come from a cartoon, are looking less cartoony than the new minifigs, which come from the movie.

On the box where does it say the parts are made.

They're made in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, and the Czech Republic. :wink:

All Legos at least recent one's that I've bought all start with 204.

Yeah, I think that was it! 204-00-0605. If that doesn't work try 204-00-0506.

Well, if I find this set (hopefully an exclusive to Target, or something accessible) I will definitely get it.

To my knowledge, this set is a Target exclusive. :classic:

What he said. :laugh:

Hmm, I've never specifically had the problem of wearing glue, I guess I'm lucky. Curved surfaces are just frustrating to me.

Great review, and a fantastic parting shot, it totally cracked me up! :laugh:

Love the last photo!

Thanks! When I saw that fedora, I knew I had to do something with Indy. :grin:

I don't think I have ever seen such clear pictures!

Why thank you! :blush:

Can you explain that a little more? I'm exactly sure what you're saying.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Thanks for the great review and great photos inconspicuous. I'll probably not buy this (too many other sets to purchase) but really like the Cad Bane figure. Can anyone tell me why this is a "special edition" - is it the exclusivity to 'Target'?

Also, if I remember correctly, in this episode Aurra Sing is sniping from opposite the senate building and not actually in the speeder - could explain why she's missing. Makes me think she'll appear in another set though (maybe a new CW version of Slave 1 :-)

You're right, but I believe Aurra was in the speeder after they got Zirro, so she could have been in the set instead of Shahah. Hopefully we'll get Aurra soon but not on another Slave I, I mean another Slave I version to get a new bounty hunter? default_laugh_new.gif

I actually don't mind most stickers, except the ones that go completely around a piece.
