LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this set for Christmas from my brother. Since I'm a big fan of LEGO's and Star Wars, I was very happy to receive this set.
This set has a huge part selection (1669 pieces) and takes about five or six hours to complete. This set includes several Jawa minifigs and is currently the only set that has the Jawa's. It also has several different droids and Uncle Owen but no Luke. Of course, pretty much every other Classic Star Wars LEGO set has Luke so no big loss there. This set also has hundreds of the unique technic link treads which are very hard to find.
Overall, this is a pretty good set. You can remove the workshop from the body of the Sandcrawler so you can access the various droids. It also has a hatch for the Jawa driver and a ramp that lowers so you can remove the crane section. However, there is a lot of wasted space in the set. I would have thought LEGO would have been able to use more of the dead space in the vehicle because it's essentially a big castle set on wheels. Also, while I really like the unique track design and steering mechanism, it doesn't roll that well on carpet.
Despite the few drawbacks and expensive price, this is a pretty solid set and looks very similar to the Sandcrawler in Episode IV. If you're a Star Wars fan, you will like this set. It's a must-have for your Tatooine layout.

Luke Skywalker's Uncle Owen is shopping for some new droids at the Jawa Sandcrawler. There are plenty to choose form, including R2-D2 and C-3PO. But the Jawas drive a hard bargain, and danger is never far away.
Re-create the classic scene from Star Wars Episode IV with this incredibly detailed model. Remove the center section of the Sandcrawler to reveal the Jawa workshop. Use the crane to load droids into the Sandcrawler, and open the hatch to reveal the inside. Cockpit opens to load a driver. Steering mechanism lets you guide the Jawa vehicle to its next adventure. Measures 15"L x 7.5"W x 9"H when built. 1,669 LEGO pieces in all.

Star Wars Action Collection 6" JAWA Fully Poseable Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Once Kenner changed their `90s 12" Star Wars figure line over from the Collector Series to the Action Collection (different packaging, same style figures), they introduced several smaller figures that were to scale with the larger figures. These figures are some of the best additions to the 12" Star Wars line.
This droid-scavenging Jawa was one of the early figures in the smaller-scale line.
Pros - The detail of the costume is great, and I absolutely love the glowing eyes. The accessories, especially that droid-zapping gun, are neat as well.

Cons - This is a minor gripe, but the figure's legs are a bit oddly-shaped. It doesn't stand as easily as it should. I ended up having to lean him on Star Wars Action Collection R5-D4 6.5" Droid Fully Poseable with Retractable Leg. It would have been cool if this were a 2-pack as well. One Jawa just isn't enough.
The Jawas are an essential part of the original Star Wars movie, and it's cool to finally have one in the 12" figure line.

Titanium Series Star Wars 3 Inch Vehicles Sandcrawler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, the packaging on this (see my customer images) clearly states "Includes Display Stand". This vehicle does not come with a display stand, I took mine back to the shop and so they opened a few others as well and none have a display stand. So I did get to keep the item for free due to the false advertising factor but having to return something online is always a bit of a nightmare so I'll give you the heads up before you decide to purchase or not. Still a nice vehicle to own, and you should still buy it but obviously the price in your head is going to be a bit lower than you would pay for the vehicle when it comes with a display stand. No stand is a shame as it's pretty much the only one of these Star Wars Titanium things where it isn't readily recognisable by most people visiting your house that it is a Star Wars thing without you saying in response to "what the hey is this thing?" It's the Sandcrawler from Star Wars that those little hooded guys (yes Jawas but if you know this you probably would have recognised the vehicle) sold the droids to Luke and his uncle from." I know the stands that most of the other vehicles (for example Jabba's Sail Barge) wouldn't work with a non floating vehicle but they could easily have used the same stand they used for the Indiana Jones Indiana Jones Titanium Series Die-Cast Vehicles, they could have even used the exact same painted one, all they would have had to do was change the sticker to the Star Wars logo.
It also would have been nice to include a few little Jawas either inside the hatch (which opens) or just loose to display beside the vehicle. A major characteristic of the various movie line range by Hasbro Titanium series is the bonus movie character figures that are attached to the vehicles. With Star Wars they haven't put much effort into this, only the odd stormtrooper on a vehicle (or reptile). If you're not going to include a stand then the Jawas were essential for identifying the vehicle.
The Sandcrawler is quite a heavy little thing, you will surprised by the weight, there is no other Titanium series vehicle I have come across from any movie that weighs even half this much. The tank like treads on the vehicle do not move. Like with the Persian Tank out of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Hasbro has put little wheels underneath the base (see customer images). They are very well hidden and you don't notice them without flipping the Sandcrawler, so I'll give them that. The vehicle also moves extremely fast with these wheels. Why when the one in the movie doesn't move like a racecar does the replica need to though, who knows?
As I mentioned before the front does open up. It doesn't however quite reach the ground so droids like R2 wouldn't be able to get up the ramp without being picked up. Wussy robots like C3PO would probably also trip making the gap. A bit disappointing on the inside, just a grey wall with a few tools in front and sticking out of the wall. As I said before, Jawas would have been nice or even a few droids rather than the average wall.
It's quite well detailed on the outside, I haven't gone back and looked at the scenes in Star Wars to see just how accurate these are but check out my images and decide for yourself. By the way if you are unfamiliar with this type of packaging it is very different to your usual diecast vehicle blister pack. It is a lot stronger and if posted to you would ensure the vehicle reaches you in better condition than the traditional style would. You can open the packet by slitting down the side, top and bottom and open the packaging mummy casket style if you think you may want to be able to sell this later with the packaging intact (although obviously opened but sealed with sticky tape.)

Jawa Bobble Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bobble head is way cute. I wouldn't say that it would hold up well as a children's toy, because it is more of a decoration in my opinion. But for the Star Wars or Bobble Head fan, it's perfect.
