There are literally dozens of Lego Star Wars sets to choose from which are mostly quite simple to build and when you've finished you have a great toy to play with from Starfighters to battle scenarios and army packs to turbo tanks.Combine Lego Star Wars sets and invite your friends round to fight for the Galaxy.Imperial V-wing Starfighter 7915. At the end of the Clone Wars, when the Galactic Republic fell, the V-wing Starfighter was one of the first of the new Empire.Once built, this model has a cockpit which opens and closes and into which the Imperial pilot fits, even with his blaster in his hand, and wings which rotate ninety degrees.You also get an Astromech Droid R2-Q2 figure.Now you can go hunting the Rebel Alliance.Rebel Trooper Battle Pack. In this set you get an ice-cutting Rebel combat speeder vehicle complete with flick-firing missiles.The characters included are Rebel pilot Zev Sensca and three Rebel Troopers wearing cold weather clothing and Hoth helmets and they'll help you defend the hidden Rebel base on ice planet Hoth against the attack of the Empire.Millennium Falcon. Millennium Falcon is probably the biggest of the Lego Star Wars sets and will keep your 9 to 14 year old (or possible his father) happy for hours just building it.It has in excess of 1200 pieces and is a replica of Han Solo's starship.Detailed building instructions are included which makes construction relatively easy but considerable discipline is needed when laying out the pieces as they are predominantly grey.The top panels open so that you can see into the ship, the cockpit cover is detachable so that Han Solo and Chewbacca can pilot the ship and the hull opens.The weaponry is impressive with twin flick missiles and rotating laser cannons on the ship plus a crossbow, three blasters and three lightsabers for use by the six mini figures of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca which are all in the set.There are no mini-figures of C-3PO or R2D2 included, but they are available separately along with lots of other mini figures so you can build up the full set of major characters.With these Lego Star Wars sets the sky's the limit in terms of re-enacting scenes from the movies and creating your own scenarios is limited only by your own imagination.

lego 8096 : LEGO Star Wars Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle (8096) Reviews
| 48 of 50 people found the following review helpful  Overall, a good set!, By Magnum Fan (California) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle (8096) (Toy) I am writing this review for my 11-year-old, so here is his perspective:Overall the set is good. It comes with numbered bags which make it easy to assemble. The emperor is a great addition since the only other way to get him is with the $400 Death Star set. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: wings fold easily doesn't come apart too easily cockpit opens up nicely injured Anakin minifig has good details back gun swivels easily great detail on cockpit viewscreen good seating for clone pilot front weapons and engines are realistic landing gear is smooth so it can skid across the ground easily very sleek design when I fly it around, the guys stay in their seats Cons: it should seat more minifigs, only seats two figs and there is not much space for them the top comes off too easily so I modified it to make it more secure did not include enough weapons, so I added some to the wings... Read more 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful  Great set, as advertised, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle (8096) (Toy) Gave it to my Lego-obsessed son for his 6th birthday. He was able to do most of the building himself, with occasional help/corrections from me. I think the age ranges are way too high. This is a very cool set, with the lift off top, detachable front capsule, and movable wings and landing gear. I think the thing that puts on Darth Vader's helmet is silly but my son likes it. He does play with the completed ship, and it's been fairly durable. It's big - a two handed toy for him, but has held up well except for the wings slowly coming loose over time (easily fixed if noticed before they fall apart). I fully recommend this set. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful This is one of the BEST Legos!, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle (8096) (Toy) (This review is written by my 11 year old son with my permission:)This shuttle is the best! It has secret compartments, 2 light saber holders, and the top comes off for easy movement inside the vehicle, and the cockpit is an immediate ejection for the pilot when they crash. If you think $45.00 is a lot of money it's worth it, big-time....WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS REVIEW WHILE YOU COULD BE BUYING THIS NEW LEGO!? |

Lego Star Wars Sets 2010 - Three New Sets For Late 2010 - AT-AT and More!
Star Wars Lego is the most popular of the Lego licensed waves, both when the sets are announced an on the secondary market when sets are discontinued.In 2010 Lego has released two waves of Lego sets, spanning the prequel and original trilogies as well as the Clone Wars TV series.In late 2010 Lego release their final wave of Star Wars sets for the year and there are some sweet sets to finish off the year.The first set of this final wave is a midi scale version of an Imperial Star Destroyer.Set 8099 is similar in scale to last year's Millennium Falcon release, set 7778, which was too small for minifigures but too large to be called a mini set, hence the term Midi scale.This is the fourth Imperial Star Destroyer release from Lego, following on the heels of the Ultimate Collector version in 2002, the mini version in 2004 and the minifig scale model in 2006.The Midi Scale Star Destroyer will have 423 pieces and retail for $39.99.It is small and sturdy enough to be held by young hands and flown around the room so wins points for swooshability.Now that the midi scale Millennium Falcon has another ship to interact with, Lego might see an increase in sales for this new scale.The second release in late 2010 is another fan favourite, the At-At.Surprisingly this is Lego's third minfig scale release of the infamous imperial walker from The Empire Strikes Back.Previous releases came in 2003 and 2007, the latter being a motorized version that could actually walk using a battery power pack.This latest version, set 8129 will feature the figures C-3PO, Hoth Rebel, Luke Skywalker (Pilot), Han Solo, two Snowtroopers, an AT-AT Driver and General Veers so is set again in the Hoth environment, not on Endor as some fans were hoping.However, fans disappointed by the lack of Endor love will enjoy the last release for this year, a large scale Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) version of the stylish Imperial Shuttle.Set 10212 will come with over 2500 pieces and, as a major bonus, the minifigures of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot, stormtrooper and Imperial Officer.At first impressions, it is a very impressive set that is sure to be in demand, regardless of the price point.Combining UCS sets with minifigures was certainly a hit with the UCS Millennium Falcon and it's good to see Lego continue the trend.Looking back on the Star Wars Lego releases of 2010 there has been a great mix of sets for different age groups and saga-era fans.The minifigures have been a mixture of awesome redesigns, welcome new characters and old faithful standbys.These last three sets are sure to please when they are released in the second half of the year and you never know, Lego may have a few more surprises up their sleeve for Star Wars fans.
