Star Wars Reviews

Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The AT-AT is a really cool looking model. You can create a whole herd of the for the price of just one of the larger version.

The companion Snow Speeder is ok but is way off scale.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid. Parts of this model can be combined with other mini vehicles to create a Y-Wing (don't worry, those pieces come from the Snow Speeder).

All in all, very nicely done.

A friend threw this, as well as a mini Millenium Falcon Lego set at me as an early Christmas gift. After I gave 'em a quick glance, I turned to him and asked, "What d'ya think I am, a freakin' ten-year-old?"

He replied, "Perhaps not in the physical sense, but it's glaringly obvious you're not even up to that age maturity-wise."

"You know, you've got a point there", I grudgingly admitted.

So I went home, opened the sets up, and spent a good twenty minutes assembling both of them. Out of the pair my friend gave me, I'm definitely diggin' the mini AT-AT more. Not only does it bear a reasonably close resemblance to the real deal, it also sports some really goofy legs. Each limb is articulated in three places (at the "hip", and double-jointed upper & lower "knees"), and will stay in place when posed in a certain manner thanks to little ratchet thingies that mesh together when the leg pieces are clicked in place. Thanks to these joints, I can pose this little contraption of gray plastic bricks into the kinds of walking/running stances that would make the director of the Ministry of Silly Walks (anyone get this` reference? Um... hello...?) green with envy! I've even managed to get it to stand on its hind legs and "beg" like the family dog at the dinner table, or do the sleepwalk / zombie stance! Its neck also sports a ratchet-jointed connection point near the "shoulders". Sadly, the head can only move down and up, not side to side.

I'm also struck by how... *glurk*... CUTE... the thing looks. This mini walker looks more like some kinda mechanical puppy dog to me than a dreaded juggernaut of destruction and conquest. Speaking of puppies: if you own the large Lego AT-AT, you could buy a couple of these smaller ones, assemble them, place 'em around the large one, and voila-- an AT-AT mommy and her young! Can't wait for Steve Irwin to do a special on THAT wildlife, heh...

Ooops, gotta cut this short-- the orderly's telling me it's time for me to take my "happy pills". But before I go, I highly recommend this particular mini Lego kit for any Star Wars fanboy who's too lazy to build and detail a proper model, and/or is strapped for space in the basement dwelling he's fashioned under his parents' house. So until next time...

...'Late

Have you seen any of these? They must be the cutest of any Star Wars Lego ever made. And for something so small the details are great. The best part is that you do not need a lot of space to display many of them. The worst part is wishing to buy them all.

They are very simple to put together so for a child it would not be difficult. And they are fun to play with. (Warning: Very Small Parts)

For an adult, especially for a collector, this is a must buy. My cousin has a big display of these mini Lego and they look even cooler than my other cousins Limited Edition Star Wars Lego Collection; and that's saying a lot.

Lego toys are very, very durable (as long as you do not lose any parts), very educational and if you add fun you have a great toy.

If you are interested in playing with them or collecting them you will not regret purchasing this great item.

I've been collecting Star Wars figures for 26 years, and even though my collection is far from being even close to complete, I own enough of the small action figures to know that the quality of the figures has improved over the past two and a half decades. Not only are the figures more detailed than their 1977-1985 counterparts, but they also now include little "extras" that make them more attractive to adult collectors.

The Wampa, that carnivorous beast that menaces Luke Skywalker at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, is a fine example of how Hasbro has improved the Star Wars action figure line. Although Kenner (the original action figure manufacturer before Hasbro acquired it in the 1990s) had produced a first-generation Wampa Ice Creature, this one is far better. It looks exactly like the one that appears in the 1997 Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back, complete with a hunk of raw tauntaun and an "ice cave" base that connects with the Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack action figure to recreate the scenes where the young would-be Jedi Knight escapes from the Wampa's lair. The right arm detaches to simulate the effects of Luke's lightsaber, and if you examine the Wampa's facial fur, you'll see that he's not exactly a neat eater, as there are drops of blood matted onto the white fur. (Yuck!)

Although the Wampa is sturdy-looking and seems durable enough, I recommend it for collectors who are interested in displaying it along with its companion figure of Luke Skywalker (sold separately).

The Luke fig does NOT come with the Wampa, as shown in the main pic... Only when you get to the bubble pack pic do you see that you're being forced to buy the Luke fig seperately (which was what I expected...)

I love it. It recreates the cool scene in the beginning of "The Empire Strikes Back". The figure is very detailed and connects to another detailed figure (Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack). The piece of meat is a nice touch that shows that the people at Hasbro were really thinking details when they made this. I got the Wampa and the "Luke Skywalker Hoth Attack" for my collection.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

Deep in the termite-like chambers of Geonosis, the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems tensely look at a holographic battle display and watch in dismay as the Galactic Republic's new army of clones and a group of Jedi Knights appear to be on the verge of defeating the secessionists' army of battle droids. San Hill, leader of the Banking Clan, and Geonosian leader Poggle the Lesser stare helplessly at the conference table, while the more confident Count Dooku calmly retrieves the schematics of a terrible new superweapon as he prepares to leave for Coruscant.

Hasbro's Star Wars Saga Scene Pack: Geonosian War Chamber 1 vividly recreates a pivotal scene of 2002's Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones with the action figures of San Hill, Count Dooku, and Poggle the Lesser, with half of the holographic light table (complete with simulated holo displays of Republic gunships and walking "vulture" battle droids) in the foreground and a nicely rendered backdrop of the Geonosian underground chamber's wall. Poggle the Lesser leans on a cane that looks like it was carved from some beast's bone, San Hill looks properly terrified as he points at the light table, while the central figure, Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus, holds a finely detailed (considering its size) holo of the Death Star.

Although this little diorama can be displayed "as is" in its package, it can be connected to Geonosian War Chamber 2, another three-figure scene pack which features Nute Gunray, Passel Argente, and Shu Mai. (Unfortunately, collectors will have to head to their local Toys R Us "brick and mortar" stores to find both Geonosian War Chamber 2 and Jedi Council 2 Scene Packs; Amazon doesn't seem to carry them in their catalog.)

Considering that these are mass-produced collectibles and realizing that it is not very easy to capture fine detail in toys that are aimed at children 4 and up (but Hasbro suspects, I'm sure, that it's adult collectors who buy these things), these are really nicely rendered 3.75 inch figures. The poses capture the mood of the film's scene well enough.

My only gripe is that both War Chambers' light tables have the same simulated holos (two Republic Gunships very close to the central figure, a vulture droid in the extreme right foreground), which is repetitive and looks strange when you join both sets to create the illusion of a complete conference table. Other than that, the compact packaging and clear plastic top makes this -- and the other Scene Packs in the Star Wars figure collection -- an attractive collectible nice enough to show off in a collector's display shelf.

i just got this set and put it with set two which I already had, the tables join together. These figures are really well done, nice detail. Alone the set looks better in the box, but I had set two and put them together to make one big scene, along with the Wat Tambor figure, and looks really great.In this set you get Count Dooku holding the Death Star plans, San Hill of the Banking Clan, and Poggle the Lesser( he was the one that looked like the big grasshopper that ordered around all the smaller grasshoppers). These figures are more for display than play, San Hill is the only one who stands on it's own, you need stands for the other two if you take them out of the box. I'll agree with the last reviewer, you'd better get these because they will probably never be remade and you'll have to pay an unreal price on an auction site.

this is very nice because if you get both sets, youll have alot of figures that will probably never be remade. buy now before these skyrocket.

I was lucky enough to come across & buy this Han Solo retro-figure yesterday at my local K-Mart (yeah, there still in business) and the figure is well worth the money.

From the retro-card art on the front to the new "historical" style info on the back, this is one set of figures that you should not pass up. The figure is encased in a plastic protector with a new sculpt of Han Solo for the figure (the figure's finally have joint movements in the arms and legs!) and comes with his trademark blaster. There are a total of 12 of these figures that will be released in the coming months from Hasbro. In this set there are 4 figures from "Star Wars": Han Solo, Ben(Obi-Wan)Kenobi, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker (Luke might be the tough one to get from this set. There were 2 Leia, 3 Solo, and 3 Kenobi in the store, so I could only assume that the Luke figure is packed one per case or every other case, I'm not sure, but, thats my best guesstimate)

If your a "Star Wars" collector, these are the figures to go after.

Just make sure Greedo doesn't shoot first.

This is an outstanding "Vintage" Star Wars figure. It will bring you back to 1977 when you saw it on the shelf for the first time. I must say thank you to Hasbro for introducing this line of figures. This is a must purchase for any Star Wars fan.

The best figure and packaging combo from the Star Wars line since 1978. The added bonus of the plastic shell protecting each figure makes it worth every dime.

TIE Fighter, even now, is, simply put, the best computer game ever made. Other people might say it's Civ II, and some would say that it was outclassed by Freespace or Wing Commander, but they are mistaken. TIE Fighter had a story. Not just a "we've been attacked, go and shoot them back" story but a very deep story, which involved the pilot. Furthermore, it had original missions. It wasn't just "go shoot them" or "help defend us", you do things like flying escort, scouting, recon, spying, etc. Well, basically, go look at PCGamer's review of it and rating, and see what other games have gotten better ratings than it. one has, and they're wrong. That having been said, this is basically TIE Fighter (and X-Wing, another respectable game) with updated graphics. They didn't put on Xwing versus TIE Fighter's truly awful control or interface, all they did was update the graphics. The result is that now the best game ever made has graphics to suit. No real computer gamer can afford to be without this.

Even in their original forms, both of these games have been on my hard drive since they first game out. With the exception of Elite, the Star Wars games were the first space sims to feel like you were actually flying in a 3D environment, not playing a 2D arcade game (sorry Wing Commander fans). Add 2 fantastic Star Wars story lines (both well fleshed out in the respective strategy guides), a chance to sample the overall lackluster sequel, updated graphics, and win 95 funtionality for under $20, and you can't go wrong. Freespace fans, check out the originals, and pick up Alliance. Its nice to see the series back on track.

This collection of all the X-wing titles (before Tie Fighter) is a great value, and an excellent introduction into the wonderful world of Rebel dogfighting. The sound effects, the graphics, the atmosphere--all of it evokes images of your favorite space battles in the Star Wars movies. You get to start slow, and work your way up to the really tough missions--and you'll need the time to learn, trust me! Quite simply one of the most all-around enjoyable games I've ever played.

This is one of the coolest Lego Star Wars mini sets. It is almost 100% resembles the actual Imperial Shuttle from the Star Wars Trilogy films. Go get it before all the stock captured by the Imperial Forces. I planned to get the Lego Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator mini set. It has cool landing gears and a movable ramp. Thank you.

Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.

The Imperial Shuttle is a nice looking model and the side wings do fold into the upright position.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid. There are no packaged instructions for combining parts of this model with others to create a different Star Wars vehicle (some of the other sets do).

All in all, very nicely done.

I've been wanting a Jabba toy for some time and this one almost meets my expectations. Jabba is about 8 inches long and 3 1/2 inches high. I would have liked him to be a bit larger since he such an emense character, but the amount of detailing mostly makes up for that. Jabba is appropriately covered in wrinkels and sports a multi colored paint job. The blending isn't perfect when viewed up close but from a short distance he's very life-like. Only Jabbas torso and arms are articulated wich give him limited posability, but we are talking about a slug character here.

Included with the figure is a stand that holds his pipe (with a flexible mouthpiece) and a fish bowl that includes a rabbit/frog like creature. Jabba comes holding the creature (by way of a clear rubber band) but you can store the little guy in the bottom of the pipe to keep him fresh for snacktime.

Although there is room for improvement with this Jabba figure (a bit more care in the painting, the ability to hide that gross tongue and an articulted tail would have been nice), there's no denying that he looks pretty cool amongst my other Star Wars collectibles. If you're a Jabba fan this is a no-brainer.

This piece is extremely detailed. This is much more detailed than the on released to tie in with "The Retun of the Jedi" in the 80's. I only wish that Hasbro had inclded the cushioned throne with this figure likr the Kenner version. A very beautiful piece! I also got the "R2-D2 (Jabba's Sail barge)" and "Luke Skywalker (Jabba's Palace)" to go with this. Its really cool people.

To celebrate the looong awaited release of the "Star Wars" Trilogy on DVD (9/21 release date), Hasbro decided to release a special set of 12 retro-figures, divided into 3 sets of 4, each representing a film from the Trilogy.

Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi is one of the figures from the "Star Wars" set and comes with a new sculpt with his trademark brown Jedi robes (made of cloth) and his blue lightsaber (it looks like the one from the prequels, but, I didn't get to a good look at it). The package is the original style from 1978-79 with the figure housed in the left hand corner with the original card art from the 12 back card. On the back of this card, however, is all new artwork listing the other 11 figures that make up the rest of the set with a quick reference to the original packaging that was used over 25 years ago. The entire figure and card is housed in a protective plastic case (just like the "Marvel Legends" line from Toy-Biz) with the "Star Wars" logo in raised see-through lettering on the back.

If your a collector of all things "Star Wars", then you better put some money aside. Don't let these figures pass you by. There are worth every cent.

This is an outstanding "Vintage" Star Wars figure. It will bring you back to 1977 when you saw it on the shelf for the first time. I must say thank you to Hasbro for introducing this line of figures. This is a must purchase for any Star Wars fan.

The Republic Gunship is pretty true to the original (although I don't know if the rocking wings are accurate). The finished model is a good size for playing with.

The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid and believable. The set includes extra parts for making part of a Y-Wing (the rest of the parts are available with the AT-At, Millennium Falcon, and the Multi-Troop Transport).

All in all, very nicely done.

I don't seem to be quite as bowled over by this figure as the others here. While I love the podrace sequence, there were a few too many short, CGI aliens in it for my tastes. Still, this is a fun, well-made figure and I'm happy to have it in my collection. His name is Teemto Pagalies, and he comes with a nice little pair of goggles (keep 'em on him or they'll probably get lost or vacuumed up!), a special spider-type droid for lifting things and hovering them around (with grabbing action), and a podracer part for the droid to lift. If you have a couple of the podracer characters, you probably know that the more you have, the better your setup will look, so don't hesitate adding Teemto to your ranks. Teemto has the 6 basic points of articulation, plus one bonus: the base of his tail. Nicely detailed down to the cut on his chin; it's just a shame he doesn't come in a set with his podracer, as they all should.

I don't know why, but Amazon isn't refering to this action figure by it's name. The real name of this interesting little figure is Teemto Pagalies. He was one of the pod racers in THE PHANTOM MENACE. The figure is very detailed, right now to the clear goggles that go on his face. The figure includes a spider droid and part of his pod racer. The figure isn't all that durable and the legs on the spider droid are rather fragile. Nevertheless, Teemto makes a nice addition to any Star Wars action figure collection. Just play nice with him. After all, he takes enough of a beating in the movie.

This is one of the best figures I have seeb in awhile. I think the detaitl is awesome.He comes with a droid, podracer part,and a pair of goggles. It is a little hard to get his goggles on at first so i just keep them on. There is one downside. The droid he comes with cant stand up. The legs are to week. I only wish he came with a podracer.I would reccomend this toy to any kid or any collector like myself!
