" This is a fun little starter set for the space line. I like the little moon buggy with the 6 wheels. It's like an ATV for space!! It comes with a cool satelite dish and digging tool. The astronaut comes a white space suit, blue cap, and a gold visor space helmet. I love the helmet. I really like the gold element for the visor/shield. The vehicle is quite small, but very sturdy and well put together. I really like this set.
Pros:
Spaceman minifig
Gold helmet
Space buggy
6 wheeels on buggy
Digging tool
Price - These small sets are great!
Cons:
None

" This is a very fun and cute set. I love the woman minifigure because she looks a lot like my wife. She's got the right hair, the heart necklace with a red shirt, and is always smiling. (My LEGO alter ego is the skate boarder from minifigures series 4.) Anyway, this is a fun little camper. It opens up in the back to reveal a nicely detailed vehicle complete with kitchen, beds, TV, cooking pans, fish, bike, surf board, and ladder to climb on top of the camper. The camper is a good size and very sturdy. The build was pretty easy. The man minifig is well detailed with a sail boat printed on his tank top, light blue jeans, and hair piece. Overall, this is a cool set! Time to have another adventure!!
Pros:
Cute female minifig
Cool male minifig
Nice sized camper
Lots of accessories (TV, pan, fish, beds, cups, bike, surf board, etc)
Price isn't bad for all that comes with set
Cons:
None

" ...it wouldn't be forbidden!! This is a great little set. You get so much for such a small cost. 4 minifigs, a tree, a mushroom, blue flame pieces, snakes, spiders, and an attack function make this set very fun!
The tree is taller than I expected. I like how Hagrid can be trapped by the flames and the tree. I would say that the "highlight" of this set is Narcissa Malfoy and her hair piece with gray streaks. I love that little added detail in her hair!! She was the main reason why I bought this set, especially since I have the other three characters already. Harry (again in every set), Voldemort, and Hagrid. "Voldy" and Hagrid are somewhat rare, so it's cool getting them here too.
Pros:
Nice Harry Potter set
Big tree
Attack function on side of tree
Accessories including wands, spiders, snakes, mushroom, etc.
Narcissa Malfoy especially with gray streaks in hair
Voldemort and Hagrid
Price is very reasonable
Con:
I would've liked to see legs for Cissy instead of the dress block piece.

" This is a very cool set. I was surprized by how tall it is. It has two towers and the connecting bridge. The towers have different classrooms in them. I was impressed with some of the accessories in the tower, such as the globe, dorm bedroom, Mirror of Erised, and the crystal ball. The exploding function on the bridge is cool when playing, but is kinda annoying when trying to put the set away. The tiles are constantly sliding around. I like how the set is able to be connected to the Castle if you have that set. I wasn't too pleased with all the stickers for the detailing of the bricks on the towers. Also, the mirror is a sticker which I thought was cheap. I do like the balconies on the towers. I think that adds to the overall look of the set.
The minifigs are awesome!! You get 7 minifigs, but 3 are repeats... Harry in Griffindor robes, Lucius Malfoy with death eater mask and hood, and the Dementor in which you can never have too many. The new figures are Gregory Goyle in his Slytherin uniform, Neville Longbottom in a sweater, Professor Sprout, and Remus Lupin. Goyle is fun because now he can cause trouble with Draco. Professor Sprout is an interesting choice for this set. She may not fit the best since the green house isn't included here. However, this is the first Professor Sprout minifig, so that is pretty cool. She should've come with a mandrake. I do think Professor Trelawney would've made more sense. It's cool having a Neville minifig and it's easy enough to put him in Griffindor robes with all the Harry minifigs in this series. Finally, Professor Lupin is really well designed. I really like his hair piece and tan suit. Overall, these are fantastic minfigs and getting 4 new ones make the set that much better!!
Pros:
7 Minifigs
Tall castle towers
Exploding bridge
Cool rooms in towers
Neat accessories
New minifigs of Goyle, Sprout, Lupin, and Longbottom
Cons:
Another Harry Potter
Stickers to show brick detail on towers and on mirror
Professor Trelawney should have also been included
Needs mandrakes for Prof. Sprout.

" Wow, lots of hate towards Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, aka Scimitar, but I guess he would like that! Let me shed some LIGHT on the matter. Even though this is the third version of the Sith Infiltrator (SI), this is the first time I bought it. Let me start my review with the ship itself. The ship is very long, detailed, sturdy and looks nice. I actually like the flipping up front part of the ship because it actually stores the probe droids and the speeder. One cool feature is that you are able to "deploy" the prode droids without having to open the top section of the ship. Instead you use little levels on the bottom of the ship to drop them out like bombs. The cockpit area is nicely designed. I like how the "ball shaped" cockpit opens up. It has a small ramp and the top part fit together perfectly. I also like how the wings are adjustable and are able to be removed from the ship for easier storage or when they get shot off by the Jedi Shuttle!! I think the look of this SI is the best of three. It just looks a lot more realistic to the one in the movie! Don't worry haters, this part is for you...the flick missles are just ok and the Sith Speeder is pretty lame. It's basically a few mismosh pieces thrown together on a "U" piece. It is sooo much smaller than the original Lightsaber Dual set #7101 speeder from 1999. This speeder is just ugly looking in comparison. The landing gear is pretty standard and not really much to look at or discuss. Also, this set has waaaaay too many stickers. I get that stickers are needed to cut costs, but come on!
Ok, onto the minifigs!! In this set you get four minifigs, Darth Maul, Qui Gon Jinn, Padme Amidala, and Captain Panaka. These figures are pretty sweet! Darth Maul has his black cloak, hood, dual lightsaber, and 2 horned head pieces. The red on the head piece matches the red on the face better than the yellow matched on Savage Opress. The printing on the torso is different than the original minifig. The robes are less bunchy, but I like how the old one looks better. However, this one has printing on the back, unlike the original. His face is larger because of the separate horn piece, but his face just looks funny to me. It reminds me of Fizzgig from the "Dark Cyrstal." It is nice to get newer versions of Qui Gon and Padme. Both have similar printing to original minifigs, but these are also dual printed. Padme has a dual printed face with a smile and a smirk. The hair pieces are very similar, but look a bit more detailed now. I also like the realistic skin colors, instead of the yellow on the original minifigs. Qui Gon has his green lightsaber and Padme comes with a small blaster. Finally Captain Panaka is brand new!! His hat is awesome and very true to the movie. His legs match the color of his shirt and his leather jacket is printed on both sides of the torso. He also comes with a blaster. All four minifigs are great!! In all, I would recommend this set. If you have a SI already, you may not NEED this set, but it is still a nice set. If you don't have one, this set is very detailed, looks the best, and is very cool!
Pros:
New Sith Infiltrator
Very detailed and looks great
Sturdy and long ship
Cockpit and wings are much improved
Cool feature of storing the Speeder and deploying the probe droids
Nice new minifigs: Darth Maul, Qui Gon, Padme, and Panaka
2 Horned head pieces for Darth Maul
Cool accessories: hat, capes, blasters, sabers, probe droids, etc.
Cockpit round top hatch is printed!!
Cons:
Speeder is too small and skinny
Too many stickers
Flick missles
Landing gear doesn't really do much
Set is expensive

" ...on the North Ridge. The AT-AT is my all time favorite Star Wars vehicle. Surprisingly, this is my first AT-AT Lego set. My nephew had the motorized one which was awesome, but I'm happy to finally have one for myself. The build took some time because the 8 bags of pieces (not counting the 2 or 3 smaller bags included inside the 8) aren't numbered as they are now for larger sets. Pre-sorting definitely helped, but it still took me about 3 hours to finish. This was the biggest set I ever put together with over 800 pieces. But is was worth the effort!! The AT-AT is huge. It looks a lot like it would from Empire. The legs are adjustable, so you can make it look like it's walking across the Hoth terrain. The head looks realistic, the main body holds where General Veers and the Snowtroopers sit, and the hatches open without difficulty. It is a very sturdy vehicle and towers over the minifigs and other vehicles (as it should)!! Even the feet on this thing are awesome! The build was straight forward; body frame, feet and legs, rear and side panels, head, front panels, sides of cargo hold area, and the rebel cannon.
Of course the minifigs are great. Luke comes with a much more detailed X-Wing helmet. It has the proper striping and the rebel insignias are more accurate. Also, the X-Wing uniform has printing on the back. He has his lightsaber and the dangle hook piece is very clever. Han is in his Hoth outfit with his blue jacket and brown pants. This is the only set that this Han comes in. The AT-AT driver is very cool but appears to be the same as in the Snowtrooper battle pack. I don't see any real differences there. The helmet is very detailed and larger than a regular stormtrooper helmet. It is a very cool helmet!! The only difference with General Veers and the Commander from the Battle Pack is his frowning facial expression. The 2 Snowtroopers and the 1 Rebel Trooper are the same as before. Finally, we have a true gold C-3PO and not the pearly, sandy one. The gold looks really nice and 3PO is kinda rare. He's not in very many sets other than the Luke's Landspeeder set (but I got the pearly 3PO in that one). Overall, this is a fantastic LEGO set which features a true icon of the original trilogy.
Pros:
It's an AT-AT
Size of vehicle
Look is accurate
8 minifigs
Only set with this Hoth Han and General Veers
Golden C-3PO
Detail of Luke and driver's helmets
AT-AT driver, 2 Snowtroopers, and a Rebel Soldier
Rebel Cannon
Hoth based set
Cons:
Did the "view port"/windshield really have to be a sticker??? This is the face of the AT-AT and we can't have a printed piece? Weak!! The other stickers were fine. No real problem there.
Too many figures that we've seen before. As a minifig collector, this is one of the reasons I waited so long to purchase this set. The Han is really the only "new figure" here. I will count the new helmet and detailing on Luke and the barely noticable difference in the facial expression of General Veers as new minifigs too. So, only 3 new minifigs out of 8.

" This is a very cool bus. The purple is a high point for me, because that color is so rare for LEGO. I actually have two of these, just to get more bricks!! The triple decker bus is very well made. The chandelier is very innovative. The sliding bed on the first tier is fun. Hedwig and the trunk fit on the second tier, and the third is primarily the swinging chandelier. Each tier is able to be removed for easy playing or setting up the minifigs. The build was pretty easy. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the front on the bus. I don't like how the grill looks. I don't like that the headlights and tail lights are attached by using "clip pieces" onto a rod. The bus is very tall and sturdy. Using my other set, I was able to make a one tier bus by using the steps to build the bottom of the bus and then extending the top tier so that it fit onto the frame. I had to make the top level longer but that was pretty easy to figure out with all the extra pieces.
The minifigs are cool in this set. You get Harry, Ernie Parang (the driver) and Stan Shunpike. Oh, and the shruken head too. Stan is cool because he has purple legs, purple torso, and a purple hat. His torso is nicely detailed with a tie and what I assume is a ticket taker reader. Ernie has Count Dooku hair and is also a very nice minifig. Harry is in his muggle clothes of a ringer tee and jacket. The Shruken head is a clever idea. I think it's funny that people are complaining that it's not the size of a regular minifig head. Remember, it's a SHRUKEN head!!Overall this is a great set.
Pros:
Purple bricks
Large bus
3 minifigs and a shruken head
Fun accessories (trunk, Hedwig, bed, chandelier, etc)
Cons:
Look of the grill and head lights
No Sirius Black or dog

" This battle pack is very good. You receive a BARC speeder and four clones: 1 Sgt, 1 ARF trooper, and 2 bomb squad troopers. The Sargent has green striping, just like the speeder. The speeder is the same as in the Battle for Geonosis, just a different color (green -vs- red). It is very sturdy and bigger than expected. The ARF trooper is my favorite of this set. The helemt is very cool (very similar to a Biker Scout's helmet). The bomb squad troopers look good. The orange color is "the bomb." (Sorry, I couldn't resist) I would have preferred 2 ARF troopers though. All in all a great set to start your grand army.
Pros:
ARF Trooper
Green Commander/Sgt. Clone
2 orange bomb squad troopers
BARC speeder with green highlights
Many weapons
Con:
Would have preferred 2 ARF Troopers instead of Bomb Squad Troopers

" This battle pack is awesome! It comes with four Mandalorians!!!! The blaster turret and speeder are great. The speeder is small, but it has a really nice look. The colors of the speeder help with the design scheme. The blaster turret has a decent look. One of the mandos fits in it perfectly. The Mandalorians have the costumes of the Death Watch from the cartoon. The blue, gray, and silver on the mandos look amazing. They are very similar to what Jango Fett would wear. The helmets, missle backpacks, and weapons add great detail to the set.
Pros:
4 Mandalorians
Many weapons
Mando speeder
Gun turret

" This set is fantastic! You receive five minifigs, a BARC speeder, and a proton cannon. I will start with the speeder. The speeder is exactly the same model as the battle pack except for this one has red detailing. It is a very cool speeder and is very sturdy. The cannon is amazing. I love the missle on it. It isNOT a flick fire, so the missle actually goes very far. The rubberized tip on it gives the missle a good weight which helps it fly pretty far. The cannon also has an adjustable turret and the legs are articulated. The cannon is pretty big and has a spot for one of the battle droid to steer/drive it.
The minifigs are excellent. Captain Rex is the best of this set. His helmet is printed accurately, has a different clone face, twin blasters, and has the clone battle armor (gray kama and antenna). Luminara is a cool Jedi. She has a dual face with and without goggles. She is the primary Barc Speeder driver. She is very detailed and looks really good. She also goes very well with Barriss from the Swamp Speeder set. Next is the Super Battle Droid. He is a gun metal gray color. Finally you get two standard Battle Droids. They come with blasters and one can drive the Cannon. The biggest glaring problem with this set is that there are NO Geonosians. However, I would still highly recommend this set!
Pros:
Captain Rex
Luminara
Super Battle Droid
Barc Speeder
Cannon
The missle of the cannon
Size of both vehicles
Clone armor accessories
Cons:
No Geonosians
Battle droids are kinda boring
Cost is a bit high
