4476 Jabba's Prize Name: Jabba's Prize Theme: Star Wars Episode VI Set Number: 4476 Pieces: 39 Year released: 2003 Minifigures: 2 Price: Can't remember, but $7.00 according to Peeron This is a pretty neat set with some great minifigs and a nice little room. First, as always, the instruction manual. Back. The minifig page. And a random page. The minifigs; Boba Fett and a Gamorrean Guard. Boba Fett. This was the second set that included him (the first being #7144 Slave I). Without his helmet and jetpack. I really love the Gamorrean Guard. He is a bit different than the Gamorrean Guard from the later released #6210 Jabba's Sail Barge: (http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/?m=sw087) He has a different torso and the Gamorrean Guard in this set has colour in the crotch area Here's a pic from a Gamorrean Guard from "Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi": http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Gamor...Vibro-lance.jpg With his big axe. Without his head. Finally, there is the 'room' in Jabba's Palace that has Han Solo frozen in carbonite in it. Front view. Back. Han is held in place by that thing on top. Also a little printed piece on the right (a non-printed piece on the left). Mr. Solo from the front. By pushing up that thing on top, Han Solo immediately falls forward. Han back in place. This technic brick with a hole is meant to connect this set to #4480 Jabba's Palace. In the review of that set, which is coming up, I'll show how that works. Here's the complete set with Boba Fett and the Gamorrean Guard. This set can also be connected to #4475 Jabba's Message if you like. Here are the two sets separate from each other. They connect by this technic brick with a hole and a pin in the other set. And this is how it looks like when they are connected. Price: 8/10 - Pretty cheap for two minifigs and a nice little room. Parts: 8/10 - Couple of neat things like the flames, Han Solo in carponite and an axe. Playability: 6/10 - Well, the set has two villains so there is no one to fight against. Still, you can play with Han a bit. Minifigs: 8/10 - Cheapest way to get a Gamorrean Guard and Boba Fett, who are both great figures. Final: 8/10 - Great minifigs plus a decent room.

4475 Jabba's Message Name: Jabba's Message Theme: Star Wars Episode VI Set Number: 4475 Pieces: 44 Year released: 2003 Minifigures: 3 Price: Can't remember, but $7.00 according to Peeron This is a funny little set. It was a cheap way to get C-3PO and R2-D2 and the only way to get the pretty awesome Bib Fortuna minifig. Before discussing the minifigs, here's the instruction manual. Back. The minifig pages. And a random page. There's also a picture of how to connect this set and #4476 Jabba's Prize to #4480 Jabba's Palace (review coming soon). Next up we have the minifigs. Bib Fortuna (Jabba's servant), C-3PO and R2-D2. I'll start off with the least interesting figures. C-3PO. By this point he had already appeared in a couple of other sets. I now have four of him so he's nothing special to me Then we have R2, who is included in a LOT of sets. I have eight of him, so again nothing special to me. The real attraction for this set is Bib Fortuna. He is a great fig, though I don't understand why he wasn't included in other sets like #6210 Jabba's Sail Barge for example. Here's a picture of Bib Fortuna from the films. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Bib_Fortuna1.jpg I really like his torso and headpiece. Finally, there's the door to Jabba's Palace from "Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi". You can move the talking (in the film anyway) eye by pushing the pole. View from above. You van slide the door up and down, but it won't stay open unless you hold it. A close-up of the eye-piece. This pin is meant to connect this set to #4480 Jabba's Palace. In the review of that set, which is coming up, I'll show how that works. Two photos of the complete set. This set can also be connected to #4476 Jabba's Prize if you like. Here are the two sets separate from each other. They connect by this pin and a technic brick with a hole in the other set. And this is what it looks like when they are connected. Price: 9/10 - Worth the price if only for the awesome Bib Fortuna! Parts: 6/10 - Nothing special, except the rare eye-piece. Playability: 5/10 - A door that can open and close.. Minifigs: 9/10 - Awesome Bib and a cheap way to get Threepio and Artoo. Final: 7.5/10 - This is set is good for the figs, but the door is not great.

I was also planning on doing a review of this set. You beat me to it, but a great review! I actually have two of these. They were so cheap back then and I had to have more than one to use against my Naboo Fighter

You're welcome You mean the printed pieces in that thing on wheels? Yeah, I do have a lot of them! These are the sets that have that piece in them: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2431px2 I have every one of those sets, so I guess I have 19 of those pieces!

Yeah, I kinda changed my mind about it. I don't want to go through this whole Academy thing. I just like posting reviews in my own way and having a bit of fun while doing it.

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?

Oky Wan Kenobi Yeah, maybe you are right. But it's strange that there are no instructions for it in the manual. I'll put up the other pages from the comic soon. ILikePi I meant that there's only one frame.

7186 Watto's Junkyard Name: Watto's Junkyard Theme: Star Wars Episode I Set Number: 7186 Pieces: 466 Year released: 2001 Minifigures: 2 Price: Can't remember, but $50.00 according to Peeron Personally I really like this set, but it has one flaw. First up is the instruction manual. Back. Minifig page. A random page. There's also a nicely drawn comic at the end of the manual. Now we move on to the awesome minifigs; Watto, the Toydarian dealer from episodes I and II and Aldar Beedo, a podracer pilot who actually ended up in third place in the Boonta Eve Classic. Watto is only available in this set. He looks good, but he could have used a little more colour. The transparent brick that he is standing on is meant to create the illusion that he is hovering in mid-air. Watto with a printed tile that's supposed to be that computer thingy that he has with him in "The Phantom Menace". Watto without the transparent brick. And without his head! Then we have Aldar Beedo. It's nice that LEGO included this pretty unimportant character in this set. As for myself, I really like him because I always chose him (and Gasgano) when I played "Star Wars: Episode I - Racer" back in the day. Here's a pic of him: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Aldar_beedo.jpg Next up is Beedo's podracer, a MARK IV Flat-Twin Turbojet according to Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MARK_IV_Flat-Twin_Turbojet). Front view. One of the engines. The flaps can open and close. More shots of the engines. Beedo's cockpit. Moveable 'wings'. Close-up of a printed piece that is only available in this set. Another shot of the cockpit. Next we have the parts of Mawhonic's podracer, the GPE-3130 (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/GPE-3130). It's a shame that Mawhonic isn't included in this set though we can't expect LEGO to make three new molds for a single set. Anyway, here's a pic of the man: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Mawhonic2.jpg One of the engines. A close-up of an exclusive piece. A closed engine. And an open one. Both of the engines open. A printed tile. The tiles next to each other. Mawhonic's cockpit, although I'm afraid it will remain empty. Backside of the cockpit. Now here's the strange thing about this set. To assemble Mawhonic's podracer you have to take apart Beedo's podracer! Here's one engine off. I've also removed the other engine plus the cockpit. Here's Mawhonic's podracer added on to the frame. I think it looks really neat, but I can't understand why LEGO didn't inlcuded another body. They even had three of them in #7171 Mos Espa Podrace! The cockpit with the cables attached. Engines. I don't know what these pieces are for. Guess it's just junk. It is after all Watto's junkyard! And then we have the final part of the set. A sort of exterior to Watto's Junkyard. It isn't much but it's a nice bonus. Some tools that the racers can use to fix their pods. This set could have used a Pit Droid. There are supposed to be three things in the box; a drill, a grey plate and this wrench http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/0/6246e.png. I seem to have misplaced it. And finally, a look at the complete set. Price: 8/10 - Good price for the amount of pieces. Parts: 8/10 - A couple of rare and exclusive parts. Playability: 9/10 - You can build two different podracers (though I am not a fan of it) and they are very swooshable! It's also a great companion set to #7171 Mos Espa Podrace. Minifigs: 10/10 - Two exclusive figures. What's to complain about? Final: 9/10 - A wonderful set.

I may be missing something here, but where can I find this Academy?

No, I don't have that set, unfortunately .

Yes, it is.

I have actually taken the photos today and will probably put up the review tomorrow.

Hi, I would like to join aswell. How long is this academy going to take, if I may ask?

Will do. Yes, I have Watto's Junkyard. Why do you ask?

Yes.

Hope so I have like 15 sets that I'm going to review in the next couple of days.

Oh, I've always thought that was where it was supposed to be kept Don't know where else you could put it.

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.

Thanks. He looks indeed very weird Yes, I meant the designs. Will edit to avoid confussion.

Yeah, I noticed Luckily I have a couple of other Boba's whose helmets look way better

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

Good, because there are more coming!

Thanks. I'll look into the Reviewer's Academy soon.

Okay, I will look into it when I have the time

Thanks, will edit it
