" I haven't built a set as challenging for me since the V-19 until I built the Turbo Tank. It doesn't take too long to build but I did got mixed up in a few places though. The hardest building step would be placing the wheels on the tank.
Many of the figures you have seen before and this set can correspond to the episode with Ahsoka in command of the Turbo Tank. Aayla Secura is the best minifigure ever. Her headpiece is very detailed and authentic as well as her torso. I am certain you would enjoy the minifigs.
The mini AT-RT is a small yet detailed and fun part of this set. It's much better than the oversized, fragile Clone Walker and the AT-RT is actually a vehicle in the show and movies. It scales well with the Tank.
Sets like the Slave 1 are way too overpriced for the vehicle you get and I am thinking that people are buying the sets JUST because of the minifigs. The Turbo Tank is simply an amazing vehicle and people should stop complaining about the minifigs included.
The best feature of the tank would have to be the wheels which works really well. The suspension on the wheels is great. A lot of detail has been focused on the set. There are many cool functions for playability. The biggest compartment in this set isn't the best for minifig storage but it does store the vehicles really well. The armour of the tank fold nicely. This et is great for playability and display. The only problem with the tank is the fragile parts.
Overall a must have set. It is definitely my favourite. You won't be dissappointed "

" I am quite impressed with this set and it is worth the price. The minifigs are detailed. I like the skeleton better as he has awesome armour. His helmet would work great on a custom soldier minifig. The ninja is pretty cool as well.
The motorbike has great playability and the wheels work well on most terrain. The rear wheel is certainly a great piece. The flames are epic and serve as awesome pieces. The hammer function is awesome.
Overall a worty set to buy especially for some of the pieces included. there are lots of new pieces get it "

" For christmas, I got this set which has to be my favourite starfighter so far. It is bristling with awesome features and awesome minifigures. This set is worth the price tag and is a must have.
If you are collecting Clone Wars sets, you need the famous droid general. Grievous has amazing detail and unique pieces. His legs aren't loose like a battle droids and you can put him in some cool poses. Nahdar is also wonderful simply for that rare Mon Calamari head. A4-D is also cool. The minifigs are a must have.
The starfighter is very nice with some awesome features. The ship itself is very sturdy and has more detailing than the previous. The cockpit has great detailing and it slides open nicely. The hidden flick missiles on the sides adds a lot more plyability as well an increase in wing size. The tan and brown stripes gives the starfighter a great colour scheme scheme. The only problem with the starfighter is the tail landing gear becuase it is quite loose and falls apart easily.
The operation chair is very nice as it can work as a seat and it can fold nicely.
Overal this is a must buy set for your Clone Wars collection and the price is good on this set as well. "

" I have owned the previous 2 jedi starfighter's and this one is my favourite. The only thing that could be changed is the high price.
One of the improvements is that the spot for the droid now has studs to hold the droid so it won't fall during play. The landing gear is now more resistant to weight. There's better detailing in the cockpit. The wings now actually don't move at all right now and that's the best improvement. This set is ideal for play.
There are a couple of parts of this starfighter which I don't really like.
The lightsaber holder is unnecessary and it interferes with play. There are too many stickers on this set which is very annoying if you get the stickers wrong. The colours at the front of the starfighter could use more flow.
Overall a decent set for the figures and starfighter. You certainly don't need this set so if you want a better set , I'd skip this one for General Grievous' Starfighter. "

" This set is so fun I play with it every day. Besides the Assassin Droid, the figures are detailed and awesome. Shahan Alama is a cool Weequay guy and Bane is a cool Duros guy. The senate commandoes are awesome.
The speeder is pretty cool as I have never really had a transportation speeder. The top of the speeder is so much fun. You can use this as a ride for a bunch of people. The back hatch is wide but it isn't tall so you can pretty much only stores the weapons there. The engines are detailed and the speeder is bigger than I expected and it is undeniably the fun. I don't enjoy the bottom of the speeder as much due to having the flick missiles hard to reach and the bricks constantly loosening apart.
I would totally recommend this. If you are still collecting starfighters or walkers, this speeder will definitely be a new experience. "

" I got the lifeguard but after a while I got so bored with it. I don't like the idea of impulse sets nor the minifigure series as the figure by itself isn't really special. If you collect a bunch of these, you will probably end up with bad results.

" I don't really like Impulse sets but this set is too small and will get very boring. The Manta Man is one of the coolest figs i have seen in a while, but he is very common. You can get him in the Seabed Scavenger where you get much more of a bang for you money. The seaweed covered rock could make and underwater scene, but something as small as this isn't much. If you have portal of Atlantis only, then you should get it. Get this if you want, but not a good way to take interest in an awesome theme.

" This is my first Atlantis set and boy tells me that Atlantis is a very good theme. The divers are amazingly detailed as well as the Manta Man. Dr. Jeff Fisher is a hard figure to get so this comes with a rarer fig.
The Stingray:
Great with glow in the dark pieces and bending wings. Makes a great ride for the Manta man.
The scout sub:
Not that great but still fun. Under some wind, propellors will spin really fast
The mini vehicle:
Not so great either but decent.
The neptune carrier:
Massive and awesome and it can carry all vehicles! The fron is really sturdy. The bottome pieces and fin is a bit fragile. The back propellor can also fall off easily. There is a cool compartment also. Overall an amazing vehicle.

I give it a 9 ouf of 10 as they could of lowered the price. The Atlantis Exploration HQ has a few pieces less but is 10 dollars cheaper. Luckily I bought Neptune Carrier for $50 CAN.

" For the first, LEGO(as in minifig) movie I found this okay. Unlike the latest Bionicle movie(which was a big downfall from the originals) it proved to be decent.
Cons:
The beginning is awesome and some good suspense was there. But, then it went down hill from there. What even happened to the two other bad guys with the wizard? It really skipped locations and LEGO themes often making it awkward. I also found the connection with the main people weird. The story overall, was not good.
Pros:
Good view of LEGO city. which I wanted the place where most of the action took place. It made small sets like Mine Mech and sports car look awesome.
It would be nice if they made a better sequel. Overall, not a movie worth buying. "

" I now have all the stars and let me say, it is quite a bad deal. This one has unique pieces but it is still expensive which is the reason why I got it at a discounted rate. When I played with it, the. arms were so hard the move due to the long staff. The golden Tahu at the end is nothing special. Overall, this is dissapointing
