Damn it!!! For a moment, I thought this is an official set and it will make a wonderful gift to my nephew. Geez, I can't believe I fall for it. Superb nice job and this is my first time seeing a Duplo custom.

Hello everyone, It has been a very long while since I have ever written a LEGO Stars Wars review. Most of the time, I will be very fascinated with the various releases of LEGO Star Wars battle pack since 2007 which I am particularly interested in as battle packs will ultimately allow LEGO fans to gain access to army building and in the context of Stars Wars universe, this is particularly true for many who are bending to build either a strong imperial empire or a resilient rebel force. Without further ado, let me show you the beauty of this battle pack. Name: 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack Theme: LEGO System / Star Wars / Episode IV-VI Year: 2012 Pieces: 77 Minifigs: 4 minifigures Price: USD $12.99, GBP 11.99, EURO N.A, SGD $30.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An original box image of the 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack Back view of the original box image of the 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack The struggle for victory continues in Endor Forest Many of us grew up watching the Star Wars movie and notably, one of my favourite Star Wars movie is the Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where the focal scene is at the Endor Planet filled with dense forest, Ewoks village, multiple skirmishes with the imperial army and the ultimate victory for the rebel troopers. Wow, I didn't expect to be able to condense this lengthy movie in just a short sentence. I will certainly be focusing more on this set and till this date, this 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack is the sixth wave of battle packs and this battle pack is a class of its own which is definitely highly desired by Original Trilogy fans. The content of the sealed box The sealed box comes with two mint numbered packages and an instruction manual to guide the user to build up the set. After the building is completed, these are the remaining spare parts. Let's start the building process A short comic scene at the end of the instruction manual At the end of the instruction manual, there is a very short illustrated comic scene where the stealth rebel troopers is awaiting to ambush an unknowing scout trooper who is on duty. It is pretty illustrative to show the playability of this set in just four picture frames. The opposing armies of the Imperial Forces and the Rebel Troopers As always, many of us buy battle packs mainly for the minifigures and judging from the image itself, this is certainly the key reason why I am buying multiple packs. For myself, I had acquired a total of five of such battle packs and not because the set is featured on a heavily discounted sales but instead the minifigures of the opposing sides is a very tempting reason to justify my multiple purchases. It is simply because I have always wanted to build an Endor army and the only set with Endor rebel troopers can only be found in the 8039: The Battle of Endor. There were no other LEGO Star Wars set that contain any Endor rebel troopers with the exception of this battle pack. Without this battle pack, many army builders will have to resort to pay premium price to acquire these type of troopers to build a decent platoon. I could not want to spend more than USD$10 (average) to acquire these minifigures. Therefore, this battle pack is like a dream come true. This is a close up view of the Endor Rebel Troopers and the Endor Rebels' tactical helmets which contain many fine details at the side as well. With the exception of the scout trooper that have no back printing, the rest of the three minifigures contain very detailed back printing. The stormtrooper and the scout trooper is pretty much the same old typical design, similar to previous generations of releases. However, it is welcoming to get more of these minifigures especially when there are intentions to build a larger imperial army for both of these different type of troopers. Stormtrooper and Scout Trooper are no longer faceless I can see through the helmet with my very own eyes Building up the base of the rebel hideout The completed built of the Rebel Hideout The entire built of this Rebel Hideout is small in scale where you will not be able to see the dense vegetation of the plants and foliages. The guard post where it is supposed to be well-hidden into the forest is actually a simple flick-missile feature with a technic part below to illustrate the machine gun aspect. At the side of it, there is a not-quite visible weapon rack where the troopers may place their weapons for storage. To be honest, I am not expecting a full scale well camouflaged outpost but at the same time I am not expecting it to be very bare as you can see from the above image. I will prefer to break this apart and use it more of a parts pack since there are some good brown bricks and plants parts for MOCING purpose. Another view of the Rebel Hideout The completed built of the Speeder Bike This is certainly a beautiful sleek piece of Imperial Speeder Bike where the scout trooper will use it to deploy for reece mission in the Endor Forest. Speeder Bike is also known as hover bikes or open-air repulsorlift vehicles which is powerful in speed and manoeuvrability. It is capable of carrying one or two passengers and in this case, there is only one space for one personnel. A typical speeder bike had a maximum altitude of 10 meters and could thus manoeuvre deftly over very rough terrain. In LEGO context, this Speeder Bike measured at 14 centimetres long. I will definitely don't mind owning a fleet of speeder bikes where it can be easily deployed for rough terrain reece missions. Of course, these scout troopers must watch out for incoming unsuspecting traps and they probably won't notice it since they are travelling at very high speed. Side view of the Speeder Bike Rear view of the Speeder Bike Let's hunt for some rebels! I wonder where those pesky rebels could be hiding To conclude, this set is a dream come true for many LEGO Star Wars army builders especially to those who love the Endor battle scene very much. It is the most easiest accessible approach to acquire many low costing Endor rebel troopers to build up your desired platoon. It is also another affordable way to acquire more of the Imperial Army such as the stormtrooper, scout trooper and the iconic speeder bike. The only downside for this set is the lack of dense vegetation of the physical built to camouflage the outpost and the supposed cannon. However, this is not as bad as it is and the rest of it is the main star attraction to entice many more multiple purchases on this set. Summary review Playability: 8.5/10 (Fun ambush scene to play around with opposing sides.) Design: 8.5/10 (Design of the entire set is done nicely with the exception of the outpost.) Price: 6/10 (The price is definitely on the high side with the low parts per cost ratio especially in Singapore context.) Overall: 7.6/10 (Despite of its high price tag, the entire set definitely gives you the fun playing experience.) I gave it a "4" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Flickr and My Brickshelf (When moderated)

Yes, it's possible. You may do so by doing in the same original posting. You are strongly enouraged not to do it at the very last minute.

My latest title, which I have updated my title in the first post as well, - Happily snapped! [ My latest new title that showed how happy am I and more importantly being 'snapped'. Must be from Rufus or Pandy. ]

Thank you for granting us a wish come true by enable us to read such a well-written review with insightful thoughts especially from the train lover perspective. This set is certainly a blast and will definitely be pretty popular! I am looking forward to get this set based solely on its design instead of getting it from the liking of the movie.

Very nice review! I like to acquire this set as soon as possible! This set is in the same league with the Spiderman Cycle Chase and the Batman Arctic set and the pricing is pretty reasonable and the main reason for me to get this will certainly be War Machine! Thank you for sharing!

I may be a little late in commenting but this is just awesome! Real awesome and beautiful with both the interior and exterior details!

Thank you so much CopMike! I totally love it!

Here are my votes as well, 3. rriggs - 1 point 4. AussieBJ - 1 point 5. Tarpal - 1 point 6. ER0L - 1 point 9. streifen -1 point Good luck to all.

Ingenious idea! I believe it was for real! I meant not through gravity and I was like 'amazed' with it!

Thank you everyone for your insightful comments and thoughts which you have shared in this review. It has always been a great pleasure to be working on this kind of project to be able to share and identify the areas which you will be most interested in the CMFs. I am just happy to know that your encouragement and support is very much important to me, to keep me going for many many weeks to put this mammoth review altogether! Like yourself and some other EB members who have mentioned, Mr.Gold remain an important minifigure which I hope and wish to be able to obtain it 'somehow' one day, by chance or miracle, to have the complete CMF collection ever. Of course, if I ever own it, I will definitely do a review for it. Yea, I remembered those!! Same here and I am seeing lots of great potential beyond Series 11! There are many marco themes that can be put together through many other different CMFs series.

I wasn't being informed of my transfer of department too.

The best looking mecha definitely go to 70707 CLS-89 Eradicator Mech! Very nice sets for the second half.

Thank you for sharing. I will move this to the Community Forum.

Top class! It just simply give me the impression that this set is very ideal for a modular Haunted House or equivalent! Well done.

Indeed! This new release seem to have lots of good weapons which can be used for different warring era. Love the details that Will have put in for these new weapons especially the DP-28 and M60 which can include by attaching or detaching the ammo belt and ammo box respectively. Thank you Badger for sharing with the EB community on this new update.
