" Even though Boss Nass said this, it also applies to Cad Bane's Speeder. The speeder itself is really sturdy and larger than I expected. The rear hatch can be flipped open for more seating or keep it closed for a cargo hold. It has flick missles and the build wasn't difficult. Actually the missles are the headlights, so that is a pretty cool feature.
Now to the real reason to buy this set: the minifigs!! If you don't want to spend over $100 to get the clone turbo tank, this is the only other way to get a Cad Bane minifig. Cad Bane's minifig is cool!! He comes with his double blasters, breath mask, and hat. He is very detailed and the printing is really great. Shahan Alama is the Weequay bounty hunter with a droid arm. He has his red pirate bandana and blaster. I really like the droid arm on this fig. Next is the IG droid who is pretty standard. Nothing exciting here. The Senate Commandos are great. The officer is extremely cool with the white design on his uniform. Again, these are very rare figures and are really well detailed and worth the price of this set!
Pros:
Cad Bane (and his blasters and hat)
Shahan Alama (bandana and droid arm)
Senate Commando
Senate Commando Officer (with white detailing)
Headlight flick missles
Nice size to speeder
Cargo area / extra seating
Cons:
Stickers
Black IG Droid. Very common. Not too exciting for this set. (Granted he was in the cartoon during the rescue of Ziro. Then again so was Aurra Sing, Robonino, and Ziro the Hutt!! A Ziro minifig would've been amazing!!) "

" I think this is a very nice set. The individual Cars and Flo's Cafe look very accurate to the movie. I like the selection of characters in this set: Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sarge, Fillmore, Flo, and Sally. All classic characters from both movies. All the cars are put together very nicely. I think I like Sarge the best, but that is probably because I have a Jeep. I was happy with the printed on star on his hood. He is the smallest of the vehicles. Lightning is in his Radiator Springs colors. He looks very nice and has bigger racing tires. Mater looks really nice. The coloring on him is top notch especially the hint of blue on the bottom of the doors with all the brown rust. I also like how he has only one headlight. Fillmore is really big. Again, his coloring is very accurate and printed. Flo has her classic wings, fins, or tails (not sure of the exact term) on the back of the vehicle. Finally, Sally also looks very good. I was impressed that there were no stickers for the cars and everything had printed pieces. The cafe is a different story in regard to stickers. It has stickers for all the signage on the cafe. I like how the 8 was created using 2 round lifebuoys. The slammer function works really well with the cars. I also like the cool scrubbing brushes for the carwash and the couple of traffic cones. The build itself was pretty straightforward. The 6 cars first, then the cafe.
Pros:
6 Cars characters
Printed car pieces
Car wash brushes
Slammer feature
Traffic Cones
Cons:
Stickers on the cafe
Set is expensive "

" This Atlantis set is very interesting and has a lot of play value. 2 minifigs, the fish, the Atlantis column and treasure chest with golden helmet!, and little jet ski. The minifigs are quite interesting. The barricuda is a very cool minifig. I like that his teeth are separate pieces that you have to put on. The green color is very nice and makes him look like something you'd find deep in the ocean. Dr. Fisher comes in his cool scuba suit with helmet and a camera. I really like the camera accessory. The Angler fish looks like something out of Star Wars The Phantom Menace (Opee Sea Killer) when Jar Jar, Qui Gon, and Obi Wan are underwater on Naboo!! The teeth on this thing are awesome. He also has a biting feature, so the teeth aren't just for show. I like how big the eyes are and that flippers are used to resemble part of the angler. You receive a decent sized Atlantis column in this set and get a treasuer chest filled with goodies. The prize being the Golden Helmet. The helmet alone is almost worth the price of this set. It is totally awesome!!! Finally, the little jet ski is a nice vehicle for the set. It gives Dr. Fisher something to ride on.
Pros:
Golden Helmet
2 minifigs
Big Angler Fish
Little jet ski
Atlantis coulumn
Treasure chest
Cons:
Stickers for jet ski and fish. "

" This is a very small set. But, for the price you can't go wrong. You receive Lance Spears, a little speeder, and miscellaneous accessories. Lance is a cool minifig. I like the scuba suits and helmets in the Atlantis line. The speeder is Ok. Lance is able to hang on to it as it brings him further down into the deep. Find the rare Atlantis gold cup before the water snake gets you!!
Pros:
Lance Spears minifig
Little speeder that looks good
Gold cup
Price of set
Cons:
Stickers for the speeder "

" This is a nice little Atlantis set. The two minifigs are very nice. The diver, Axel Storm comes with his trusty scuba suit and helmet. I really like the diving helmet in this line of products. They are very large and look great. He also has a reversable face which is cool. The hammerhead shark is really cool. I like that he does have a minifig head that looks like a shark's mouth, before you put the rubberized head over it. The end result looks very good. The sub is nice. You have the ability to transform it into a striker by bringing the legs down. In this "mode" you can fight the Shark and walk on the bottom of the sea. I also like that it comes with 2 harpoon guns and has grappling claws to grab treasure. I think that the Atlantis column is very cool looking. Overall, this is a nice set starter set for Atlantis fans.
Pros:
Axel Storm
Hammerhead shark
Adjustable sub/striker ship
Atlantis column
Cons:
Having a sticker for the shield!! "

" I was very surprised with how much I like this set. I thought it would be just OK, but I gotta say, it is pretty sweet. The Flying Mummys are awesome! The detail and colors on their wings and bird helmets are spectacular. The size of the wings is also impressive. It is the standard mummy from this line, but the added accessories of wings and the helmet are great!! I also like the Jake minifig from this set. He comes with his leather pilot jacket which looks really nice. I was also impressed with the plane. It is very sturdy and designed well. I also really like the color of the plane. The grab function is a clever idea. It not only can grab treasure, but also rescue friends in trouble. Finally, I like the size of the obelisk. It is taller than I expected, but I cannot stand that it has stickers to show the hieroglyphics. I think that printed bricks would have looked sooooo much better!
Pros:
2 Flying Mummys
The wings and helemts are amazing!!
Pilot Jake minifig
Tall Obelisk
Plane with grab feature
Color of plane (and all the vehicles in Pharoah's Quest line)
Cons:
Stickers!!
Soul diamond?? I think that is a lame treasure compaired to the other sets. "

" This is a great little set for all that comes with it. You receive a Jake Raines minifig, golden crystal, campfire, and the large scarab. I especially like the printed pieces (not stickers) for the scarab. Jake is a cool minifig, especially his bullet printed torso. I like that you can combine this line of products with Indiana Jones and Prince of Persia sets.
Pros:
Jake Raines minifig
Large Scarab
Turkey leg
Guns and other accessories
Printed pieces for scarab
Gold crystal
Price of set is very reasonable
Cons:
Only one minifig "

" I was most excited about this set because of the big snake, cool truck, and the only female minifig in this series, Helena Skvalling. I will start with her...She is a great minifig because of the little freckels on her face, the reddish hair, and detailed torso. Jake seems to be the same minifig as the one from the Scarab set. The snake charmer mummy is good because of his snake printed headdress and printed torso and legs. The truck is very cool and has very nice tires. The only problem is that Helena'a hair and bag get in the way so she isn't able to sit in the truck. The snake is very long and looks great with the plastic hood to make him look like a cobra. I really like the details that are printed on the hood and the colors of the cobra are awesome. The platform has a section that helps hold the cobra in place and a little surprize under it...
Pros:
Helena Minifig
Jake and Snake Charmer
Golden Scarab Shield
Truck
Cobra
Con:
Helena not able to sit in vehicle "

" I really like the Pharoah's Quest line of products!! This is a nice inexpensive set including 3 minifigs, a motorcycle, and the Golden Staff. I like how the motorcycle is able to hold onto a stick of dynamite. Just what any good motorcycle needs, right?!? Mac is a very nice and detailed minifig. He's a nice change of pace from Jake. The two mummys are also well done. They have reversable heads. One with the mummy face and the other with just an eye showing. Since you get two, it works out well. The little stand that the staff is displayed on is small. but nicely built. Then getting back to the motorcycle...I like the color of it and it looks like a true desert bike.
Pros:
3 minifigs including Mac and 2 mummys
Cool desert motorcycle
Nice accessories: dynamite, guns, and the black mummy headress
Golden Staff "

" This set has great minifigs. It would have been even better with the original plan which had Quinlan Vos instead of Anakin. So I will start with Anakin, same minifig as in all the other Clone Wars sets. He's too common to have much to say about him. Obi Wan is awesome. I missed him the first time around. I really like the armor printed on his torso. His hair piece is also very good. Saesee Tiin is really nice. He is very detailed and his horned head piece fits and looks great. Saving the best for last is Shakki Ti. Her head piece is very detailed and also looks fantastic. She comes with a red cape and is an amazing minifig. They all come with lightsabers.
The ship is very long. I like how the cockpit is detachable from the ship itself. It looks a lot like the ship from the cartoon. I agree with other reviewers that the underside of the wings are too plain. It's very sturdy, solid, and "swooshable." Bounty hunters, battle droids, and the Sith better watch out...
Pros:
Awesome Jedi Minifigs: Shaak Ti, Saesee Tiin, Obi Wan, and SkyGuy
Large wingspan
Detachable cockpit
Spinning wings
Cons:
Stickers
Republic Logo piece falls off the wing constantly
Boring underside of wing (normally wouldn't care, but for a set with spinning wings, it would be nice to see more there.)
Cost of set (same number of pieces as Bounty Hunter Gunship but this is more expensive) "
