LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Fighter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Lego kit is an excellent value. The kit builds a very solid A-Wing fighter that features movable guns mounted at the tip of each wing and a cockpit canopy that a person can raise toward the front of the A-Wing to reveal a green-suited pilot and a Lego block with a simulated horizon on it. As with many recent Lego kits, this kit features four decals.
Also included in this kit are a technician and a cargo hauler. The cargo hauler has smooth round pads on the bottom that allows someone to move the hauler on most surfaces.
Unlike some Legos in this series, the A-Wing has relatively few parts that a person might easily knock off in play. The engine parts behind the A-Wing are probably the most easily detached pieces, and those parts are surrounded by other pieces. If you are looking to make a diorama, you may wish to buy several of these kits because this kit looks so good.
This kit was relatively easy to build, and most builders in the target age range of 7 to 12 years old should be able to build this kit in under an hour.
We have enjoyed Legos for decades, and the Star Wars Legos have been especially interesting to us as we are also fans of Star Wars. This particular Star Wars Lego kit is an excellent value for the price, and is a perfect gift for children of all ages 7 and above.

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everybody wants to point out how "fragile" this set is. And, while I'm not going to deny the fact that a wing or two may come flying off at you once in a while, I will say that that shouldn't take away from the appeal of this set. If you are going to zoom a Lego around a room, yeah... you're going to have a piece break off now and again. So what? Pick it up and put it back on. Anyway, in my opinion, Anakin's Starfighter is one of the sleekest vehicles in the Episode III line. It was also the first Sith set to be available, coming out almost a month before the remaining nine (for whatever that's worth). It has some unique pieces (the windshield, the yellow wings) and some crafty uses of other ones (the fire-hose nozzles as side guns).
The Vulture Droid that chases Anakin through the stars is a definite step-up from the original, butt-ugly-brown Droid Fighter set of past years, while the Starfighter is as fresh a ship as the Tri-Fighter or even the ARC-170 Fighter--also featured in the Sith line. During the assembling process, there are a number of tedious steps that can get you frustrated (including applying many stickers to both ships); but the outcome is worth it. Again, I have had little problem with feebleness on either the Vulture Droid or Starfighter and if you know how to handle your Lego's, you shouldn't either. Anakin's ship has three extendable legs that hold it up, while the droid sits nicely on his own (rotating) wings. Putting this set together took about 35 minutes, which is pretty average for a piece count of just over 200. As I said, it was at times tedious, but nonetheless an easy and fun put-together.
I see no reason why anyone would be disappointed with this set. If you're going to zoom it amongst the stars, there is a perfectly accessible 4x6 plate (under Anakin) where you can grab a hold. And with two ships there is enough substance for two people, while the ships are small enough to be carried by one person should you opt not to share. In the end, set #7256 is more durable than most make it out to be. It is a great set for displaying and is reasonably priced considering it features two vehicles and that, overall, it looks so neat. You can decide from there, but I'd recommend it.

LEGO Star Wars TIE Interceptor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well the TIE Interceptor is another of the 06 sets. The TIE Interceptor, if you didn't know, was in Episode 6 and came in great numbers. I was honestly surprised to see this as a set.
The TIE Interceptor comes in the same black and blue as most of Lego's TIE's do. I honestly love the color scheme. It makes the TIE's stand out from the other usual grey/ bley and white ships in my collection. This is, of course, a TIE. Meaning that it suffers from that all too common disease, known as "wobbly-wings". Yes the wings on the Interceptor are as flimsy as most of Lego's ships that have wings. But some modding should do the trick.
Included with this set is the almighty Imperial Pilot. He is of course dressed in a sleek jet black. The helmet is basically a stormie's helmet but with a few added stuff to it. Lego really likes to change the poor Imperial Pilots' heads though. The most recent TIE Fighter that came out had a pilot with a blank brown face. This pilot has a blank black face. Poor Stormie's and Pilots. Maybe someday Lego will give them faces.
Well there you have it. It's basically an average set. I would pick up one though. It's great for making Imperial armies stronger/bigger. I picked up two, but that's just me.

LEGO Star Wars B-Wing Fighter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always loved B-Wings and have told myself that one day I would get one. These new releases caught my eye and so I spent my own money to get one. I was not disappointed. The B-Wing is AWESOME!!! It copies the design and features from the fighter in the movie very carefully, so it's a good-looking model Actually, the B-Wing in the movie is pretty ugly, and this copies the ship from the movie, but I've played enough video games to respect its firepower. I guess it doesn't look too bad. It's a nice Lego, but nothing is perfect. Here are the pros and cons.
PROS:
At a good 15 inches tall, this thing is MONSTER!
It looks really neat
The service tower is a nice thing to have for realistic play
With the tower as a display stand, this thing looks cool in your bedroom
For a huge fighter, it's actually easy to play with
This thing would probably rock in the Star Wars ship battles kids like me have with its 7 guns.
Not too hard to build
CONS:
Kind of expensive
It doesn't break often, but when it does, it's tough to repair
It's not too hard to build, but it does take a while
It doesn't balance too well on the service tower/display stand because it's so heavy. Don't touch it though and you'll be fine
The Ten Numb minifigure doesn't look too good in my opinion
You have to open the S-foils manually. You think Lego would have the little gear-wheel to open it.
Missiles have zip range, but Lego never really came through in the missile department anyway
Engines look a bit tiny compared to the rest of the model
The mechanic minifigure(whichever one you choose to use, I like to use the Ten Numb minifigure)doesn't have a lot of room to stand on
The pilot minifigure is kind of hard to fit in
Overall, most of the flaws are tiny and it's a really cool ship worth the $35.

Just like the classic Star Wars vessel, its wings can fold for flight or vertical landing. Challenge the forces of the Empire and use your launchers to save the day! A service tower doubles as a display stand for the fighter and can fold down for easy storage. Cockpit opens so you can put the B-wing pilot at the controls. Includes Rebel pilot. Includes 435 LEGO pieces.
