7141 Naboo Fighter Name: Naboo Fighter Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7141 Pieces: 174 Year released: 1999 Minifigures: 4 Price: Can't remember, but $20.00 according to Peeron I liked this fighter when I first got it (one of the first Star Wars sets that I got), but I recently bought #7660 Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid. I like that one far better and is more accurate. Anyway, here's the review. First up is the instruction manual. Back. Minifig pages. A random page. The minifigs. R2-D2, Anakin Skywalker and two Battle Droids with very ugly blasters! The Battle Droids. I believe this is the only set where the blasters have these huge orange cones on them. Anakin with his helmet on. Anakin without the helmet. R2. I don't really know what this thing is for. I guess you can put the Naboo Fighter on it and roll it around. Bit useless in my opinion. It can also open up. Some nice printed pieces. Then we have the Naboo Fighter. It's pretty blocky but it's easily recognizable as a Naboo Fighter. The cockpit with some wonderful printed pieces on the side that are only available in this set. Set #7660 Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid uses stickers for this Without the glass. A printed fish design. R2-D2 is on board. Anakin also on board. Close-up of the front guns. The bottom. A torpedo. One of the engines. They are connected by two pins. Ready for take-off! The complete set. Comparison photo with set #7660 Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid. Left - Anakin from #7141 Naboo Fighter. Right - Anakin from #7660 Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid. The right one is obviously a lot better. Price: 8/10 - Pretty good for the amount of pieces and minifigs. Parts: 8/10 - Lots of yellow and some nice exclusive/rare printed pieces. Playability: 9/10 - I used to fly around with this fighter a lot! Minifigs: 8/10 - This was one of the first sets to get Anakin, R2 and Battle Droids. Final: 8/10 - Nice minifigures. The ship itself is a bit blocky, but still looks pretty good. What's the little thing on wheels for?

I saw the LotR sets at Toys XL and Bart Smit in The Netherlands today. Just thought the Dutch LEGO fans might want to know that they're finally out here.

Dialogue in film is boring now? What, do you only watch silent movies?

7159: Star Wars Bucket Name: Star Wars Bucket Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7159 Pieces: 291 Year released: 2000 Minifigures: 3 Price: Can't remember, but $25.00 according to Peeron This is one of my least favourite sets because it has some truly terrible looking podracers in it. As always, let's start with the instruction manual. The front. I like the cartoon Anakin on it, but I don't understand why Anakin's podracer isn't in the picture. Back. The minifig pages. And a random page. The cool thing about this set is that it came in a bucket. Here are the pictures on each side of it. The handle. A look inside. The figs in this set are alright. They are: Aldar Beedo (according to Brickset http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/?m=sw006), Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks. This is the third Anakin that I got in this version. I already owned him from #7171 Mos Espa Podrace and #7131 Anakin's Podracer. Jar Jar Binks I also had already (four times to be exact). Still a nice fig with a great torso. Then there is Aldar Beedo. In my opinion, he looks nothing like the character (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Aldar_beedo.jpg). With his helmet on. And without. I like the printing even though it looks nothing like Beedo. Here he is with the Aldar Beedo from #7186 Watto's Junkyard. Now you tell me, which one looks more like Beedo? There are also some tires included in this set Here's one of the only good things about this set, the finish/starting point. The only bad thing about it is that it's too small for it to be used by the normal sized podracers from sets #7186 Watto's Junkyard, #7171 Mos Espa Podrace and #7131 Anakin's Podracer. Front. Back. I'll start off with the least interesting podracers. The first is, I believe, the FG 8T8 Twin Block2 Special from racer Neva Kee (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/FG_8T8_Twin_Block2_Special). It hardly resembles the podracer and Neva Kee is also missing. I know this is a set for kids but couldn't LEGO have designed it a bit better? Close-up of the cockpit. Backside. One of the engines. One of the engines from above. Then we have the next podracer. I'm not really sure which one this is, but it looks the most like Clegg Holdfast's KV9T9-B Wasp (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/KV9T9-B_Wasp). As with the previous pod, the racer (Clegg Holdfast) is not included. Cockpit. Engines. The third podracer is Aldar Beedo's MARK IV Flat-Twin Turbojet (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MARK_IV_Flat-Twin_Turbojet). One of the engines. The engines seen from the back. The cockpit. The cockpit with Aldar Beedo in it. Here's a comparison photo with Beedo's pod from set #7186 Watto's Junkyard. Review continues in next post.

I did a review about this set too. It's possible to put the walkie-talkie inside the compartment. You just have to put it under the beam, not on top of it. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27089

7115 Gungan Patrol Name: Gungan Patrol Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7115 Pieces: 77 Year released: 2000 Minifigures: 2 Price: Can't remember Front of the instruction manual (don't have the box anymore). Back Minifig page. Random page. The two minifigures: A Gungan Soldier and Jar Jar Binks. The Gungan Soldier. The Gungan Soldier with his spear and (lovely) shield. Nice torso aswell. Jar Jar. Jar Jar's Kaadu. I really like these creatures and the green groundplate is a nice addition. Close-up of printed piece. Jar Jar on his kaadu. The Gungan Soldier on his kaadu. Back. Bomb compartment. The complete set. Price: ?/10 - Can't remember. Parts: 10/10 - This has a lot of great parts such as the Gungan heads, the kaadus, the blue bombs and the shield. Playability: 8/10 - This was a favourite of mine when I was younger. Great for creating the Battle of Naboo scene from "The Phantom Menace". Minifig: 8/10 - Pretty good. The Gungan Soldier is a nice addition. Couldn't care less for Jar Jar because I already have him a couple of times. But nice if you haven't got him. Final: 8/10 - Good set with good minifigs.

7124 Flash Speeder Name: Flash Speeder Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7124 Pieces: 105 Year released: 2000 Minifigures: 1 Price: Can't remember The box has been long gone but here's the instruction manual. Back. Minifig page. Random page. The awesome Naboo Security Officer (available in no other sets). The speeder with the Naboo Security Officer. What's this? A hidden compartment? With binoculars inside! The Security Officer likes them aswell! Printed controls. Back of the speeder. The gun. The cockpit. Notice another printed piece in the bottom of the photo. The Officer in his speeder. Price: ?/10 - Can't remember. Parts: 9/10 - Love all the green pieces. The printed parts are also nice. Playability: 8/10 - Played with it a lot when I was younger. Has nice features such as the rotating gun and the hidden compartment. Minifig: 10/10 Love it. Exclusive for this set. Final: 8/10 - Good set, with a great minifig. Could have maybe used another fig plus a blaster for the officer.

7184: Trade Federation MTT Name: Trade Federation MTT Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7184 Pieces: 466 Year released: 2000 Minifigures: 7 Price: Can't remember, but $50.00 according to Peeron This was a good set back in the day. Number of minifigs and the design of the MTT are okay. Still, I would love to get the other MTT (#7662 Trade Federation MTT). The instruction manual. Back. Minifig page. A random page. There's also a comic at the end of the manual. The minifigs in this set are good. Six Battle Droids with blasters and one without. He controls the MTT. The green groundplate is not included with the set. Finally a look at the MTT, which is short for Multi-Troop Transport (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MTT). The bottom. I'll start with the cockpit. The two panels on the side can open up. Here's the Battle Droid inside the cockpit. A close-up of the controls. The Battle Droid is supposed to sit like this but when I moved the MTT around he kept falling out. So I connected him with his back to the back of the chair. The cockpit with the Battle Droid seen trough the window. With one side closed. Here's the empty loading rack... ...which goes inside the MTT. The loading rack with two droids on it. All of the Battle Droids and their blasters on it. Bottom. Let's put them in! A look from the front. There are some guns on the front. Without the windscreen. I really don't like these guns, because they are very unstable and always fall off. At the back of the MTT there are a couple of small doors. Here they are closed. And open. There's a light/blaster inside it. The other side. And a look from above. The backdoor of the MTT. Open. By removing this black tile you can split the MTT in half. It connects by these pins and holes. A photo of the two halves. It can open up like this (sorry for the cobwebs in the background ) Right side. Left side. Folded to the back. Photos of the interior. A look at the complete set. Price: 7/10 - Alright. The MTT from 2007 has three times more pieces than this set and a lot more Battle Droids (20) and is 'only' $100.00. So, I think it's wiser to buy that set instead of this one. Parts: 8/10 - Nice amount of brown parts, but not really any rare or exclusive pieces. Playability: 8/10 - It can open up for it to be played with and it's fun to put the droids on the loading rack. Minifigs: 7/10 - Nice amount of figs, but could have used a bit more. Final: 7/10 - The design of this MTT is good, but the version from 2007 looks a lot better (and includes a lot more Battle Droids!).

Good review! And thanks for mentioning my review

7133: Bounty Hunter Pursuit Name: Bounty Hunter Pursuit Theme: Star Wars Episode II Set Number: 7133 Pieces: 253 Year released: 2002 Minifigures: 3 Price: Can't remember, but $30.00 according to Peeron This is one of my favourite sets from episode II. I really love the colours and design of the two speeders. There are also a couple of rare and exclusive pieces included. Let's start off with the instruction manual. Back. The minifig pages. A random page. And a nice picture of this set that was also in the manual. The minifigs in this set are Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Zam Wesell. Obi-Wan is a good fig. His head is only available in this set. Anakin is also a nice figure. I really like his torso with the little ponytail on it Here are the lightsabers of the two Jedi. Zam Wesell, the bounty hunter. Here she is her human form without her helmet. Torso and legs are exclusive for this set. On the back of her head there is an alternative printing. This is what Zam really looks like because she is 'a shapeshifting Clawdite bounty hunter from the planet Zolan. In her true form, Wesell was a green-skinned reptilian, although she often appeared as a Human woman with short reddish-blonde hair, and wore a tight-fitting purple Mabari armorweave bodysuit with a veil over her face.' (from Wookieepedia http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zam_Wessell). Here she is with her head turned to the front. Her Clawdit face with her helmet on. And her human face with her helmet on. A shot from the back of the rare helmet (at least in this colour). Sideview. A close-up of her rifle. Watch out, here comes Zam! The first vehicle that you build in this set is the speeder that Anakin 'borrows' in episode II, a XJ-6 airspeeder (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/XJ-6_airspeeder) I really love it. The colours are awesome and it looks exactly like the one from the film Printed controls piece. Back. Bottom. A close-up of the engines. They can move a little bit up and down. Two nice printed pieces behind the engines. I took the engines out so that you can take a better look at them. These are the most special pieces from this vehicle. These slope bricks are exclusive. Also two exclusive pieces. Two rare tile pieces. Shiny headlights. Anakin and Obi in the speeder. Ready for action. Anakin holding the 'steering wheel'. A look from the back. There's a storage compartment in the back. You can put the lightsabers in it. Or not. I couldn't get all the photos in one post, so part 2 of the review is a couple of posts down.

Thanks :) And of course to all the others who liked this review. Sorry dude, I just like to be thorough and cover every aspect.

7113: Tusken Raider Encounter Name: Tusken Raider Encounter Theme: Star Wars Episode II Set Number: 7113 Pieces: 90 Year released: 2002 Minifigures: 3 Price: Can't remember, but $10.00 according to Peeron A neat little set from episode II with two great minifigs designs. First things first; the instruction manual. And the backside. Minifig page. Random page. And a nice photo that was also in the manual. Now we move on to the minifigs. A yelllow Anakin Skywalker with cape and lightsaber plus two (awesome) Tusken Raiders with rifles. Ani. Love the chrome lightsaber. It's a real shame they barely use them anymore these days. Front and backside of the Sandpeople. Love the torsos and faces. Next up is the moisture vaporator. A bit of a useless addition to this set, though it looks good. It can also open up. Don't really understand what's the use but hey, I'll show it anyway. A printed piece inside the vaporator. The Tuskens with the moisture vaporator. I wish LEGO had included one of the Tusken tents instead of the vaporator. Well, atleast it isn't as ugly as the vaporator from #7101: Lightsaber Duel (http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7101-1). Finally, there's Anakin's speeder bike. You can see that there's only one of these http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/8/2555.png on the front of the bike. The other one broke, so I had to replace it with a light grey one (didn't have a matching one). You can see the speeder has a little pin for it to rest on when it's not being used. There's also a flap at the back. Anakin, who is ready to hop on. The speeder looks good, but it's a bit wobbly. The red plates at the front are hard to keep symmetrical. And here's a look at the complete set. As I've said before, I love the Tuskens. The speeder is alright, Anakin is always a good addition and the moisture vaporator is completely useless in my opinion. Price: 8/10 - Cheap set back in the day and the only way to get these Tusken Raiders. Parts: 7/10 - Nothing too special except the pretty unique moisture vaporator tile. Playability: 8/10 - Good, because it has both good and bad guys. Minifigs: 9/10 - Love the Tuskens. Final: 8/10 - Solid set with great minifigs, okay speeder, usless vaporator

7150 TIE Fighter & Y-wing Name: TIE Fighter & Y-wing Theme: Star Wars Episode IV Set Number: 7150 Pieces: 407 Year released: 1999 Minifigures: 3 Price: Can't remember, but $50.00 according to Peeron This is one of my favourite OT sets. Love both the ships and and the figs. I don't have the other Y-Wing (#7658: Y-wing Starfighter) or #8017: Darth Vader's TIE Fighter so I can't compare this set to those two (they look good though). Let's start with the instruction manual. Back. The minifig pages. And a random page. At the end of the manual there's a short comic. The minifigs in this set are great: Darth Vader, a Y-Wing Pilot and an R5-D4 Astromech Droid. This was the first set in which Darth Vader appeared and also the first one I got. I know have a couple of him. His cape is a bit tattered and folded because he has been sitting in his TIE for almost ten years now (!). Without his helmet. The Y-Wing Pilot is also a nice fig. Great torso and I like his face His helmet is also pretty awesome (good pic here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x164px1). The last fig is an R5-D4 Astromech Droid. He also appeared in a couple of other sets and I own three of him. The one thing I hate about this set is that it's called 'TIE Fighter & Y-wing'. It's clearly not a TIE Fighter, but the TIE Advanced x1 (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Advanced_x1). Oh well. Vader presents his ship. A look at the back. And from the top... ...and bottom. The 'wings' are connected by two pins. You can change the wings from this... ...to this. A close-up of the printed piece with the Imperial sign on it (it's on both wings). The same piece is also on the top of the cockpit. The cockpit opens up like this. A look inside. Darth Vader is ready to crush some Rebels. There's not really any place for his lightsaber so I just placed it next to him. The next ship is the Y-Wing. Top and bottom. Let's have a look at the cockpit. It has a big gun on top which can swing in all directions. The inside of the cockpit. A look from the other side. The slope brick with the trench pattern is also available in a couple of other Star Wars sets. Here is where you can place R5-D4. The back can open up like this. There's nothing to put in though. At the left and right side are two printed pieces. In the middle of the ship is a place to store a container box. The door with the Rebel sign on it is a pretty rare piece. A look at the engines of the Y-Wing. They are connected by two pins each. The landing gear which can be removed. Luke is lying comfortably inside his cosy little cockpit. Yes, Luke. I put him in accidentally. So don't look for him because he is not included in this set And of course R5-D4! And to wrap things up, a look at the complete set. Price: 9/10 - Pretty cheap in my opinion for two ships. Parts: 8/10 - Lots of useful pieces and a couple of rare ones. Playability: 9/10 - Two ships that can 'battle' with each other so that's good Minifigs: 9/10 - All really good. Final: 9/10 - Awesome set. Great ships and figs and doesn't cost that much (at least back in the day ).

Yeah, it's possible. But it would be a bit dumb of Vader to store his beloved lightsaber in an Y-Wing, wouldn't it? My apologies for the Photobucket-thing. The pictures should be up again on Wednesday.

Thanks No idea why it's called R5-D4. I hadn't even noticed I put Luke in the cockpit. I made the pictures for this set together with the pictures for #7140: X-wing Fighter (review is coming soon) and must have put him in accidentally

Thanks It looks stupid but at least you don't see it when the MTT is closed. It's better than hearing the Battle Droid going through the whole cockpit when the MTT is in motion

I've added some pics

4480: Jabba's Palace Name: Jabba's Palace Theme: Star Wars Episode VI Set Number: 4480 Pieces: 234 Year released: 2003 Minifigures: 6 Price: Can't remember, but $30.00 according to Peeron For me, this is a set I played with a lot when I was younger. Lots of awesome minifigs and the palace is good enough. Would love to see another version in the future. Let's start things off with the instruction manual. Front... ...and back. The minifig pages. A random page. And here's a pic of the set with #4475 Jabba's Message and #4476 Jabba's Prize. There are six minifigures included in this set. They are, from left to right: Leia, a B'omarr Monk, a GNK power droid, Jabba the Hutt, EV-9D9 and Luke Skywalker. I'll start with the droids. Here's the B'omarr Monk (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Bomarr_monk_btm.jpg). I found these things very creepy when I first watched "Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi" many, many years ago. LEGO has captured it well in my opinion. It's funny that its legs are build out of four Katana swords. Next is the GNK power droid, also known as 'gonk droid' (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gonk_Droid). The GNK power droid is also a handy place to store Luke's hairpiece when he is using his hood EV-9D9 (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/EV-9D9). Now the other three figs. Here we have Luke Skywalker. Slave girl Leia. Here she is with her flesh twin from #6210 Jabba's Sail Barge. Last but not least, the king of this set: Jabba! It's the same mold as Jabba from set #6210 Jabba's Sail Barge Not really a minifig, but there's also a little frog in the set Now we can enter Jabba's Palace. The front and back. And the left and right side. At the front of the palace there's a gate than can open up. When you remove the handle on top of the gate you can open up the palace. In the left side you will find EV-9D9's workplace. In the right side you will find... absolutely nothing! Another look. Close-up of one of the stairs. On the top floor is where you can place Jabba and Leia. Jabba's dinner. Poor little frog. In front of Jabba you will find a trapdoor. I had to replace the original black rubber bands because both of them had broken. By pushing/pulling Jabba's 'throne' back the trapdoor will open up. A look from inside. It's also possible to remove Jabba and Leia with a piece of the palace. A look a the whole palace with the minifigs. If you have sets #4475 Jabba's Message and/or #4476 Jabba's Prize you can attach them to Jabba's Palace. Set #4475 Jabba's Message attaches to the right side. And #4476 Jabba's Prize to the left side. A look at the whole palace. Price: 8/10 - Pretty cheap for a bunch of minifigs and a good palace. Parts: 7/10 - Alright. Not really any special pieces. Playability: 8/10 - Lots of features and even more playability when you add #4475 Jabba's Message and #4476 Jabba's Prize. Minifigs: 9/10 - All of them are great in my opinion, especially Jabba and Leia. I would've loved to have seen a LEGO Rancor though. Final: 8/10 - The minifigs make this set but the palace isn't bad. It doesn't really look like the one from the movie, but it has a lot of features.

Thanks everyone! Here you go

7126: Battle Droid Carrier Name: Battle Droid Carrier Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7126 Pieces: 133 Year released: 2001 Minifigures: 7 Price: Can't remember, but $10.00 according to Peeron Back in the day, this was a really cheap way to get six battle droids plus a great pilot droid. As always, here are the instructions. Front. Back. Minifig page. Random page. All of the included minifigs. Six battle droids plus a pilot droid. Close-up pilot droid. Close-up of two battle droids. Notice the ugly megablaster guns. The loading rack. The empty rack with the carrier. All of the droids plus their blasters on the rack. Smile, boys! Not the most pleasant of positions. It sucks to be a droid! All aboard! The complete set. Front view. Price: 9/10 - Very cheap way to get a lot of battle droids! Parts: 7/10 - Alright. Only way to get the windscreen with the grill on it though. Playability: 7/10 - Alright as well. It's fun to use in a battlefield. Minifigs: 8/10 - Same old battle droids (though they are nice). Only way to get the Pilot Droid. Final: 8/10 - Pretty good set with a nice number of battle droids.

Hey, I'm also from the Netherlands I don't understand why I put the seat that way. It's clearly the other way around in the instructions. I'll make some new photos soon and add them to the review. Thanks for pointing it out!

Well, the one from the MTT fits into the Battle Droid Carrier. The one from the Battle Droid Carrier doesn't fit into the MTT because of the four grey antennas on top of it.

Thanks everyone! No, it's a little bit different. MTT Battle Droid Carrier

You're welcome They are part of the plastic. I suppose they should look like stars. Luckily I got this set as a gift. I would have never bought it myself.
