First Order Transport Speeder Battle Pack
" I was excited when I heard that there was going to be a new first order battle pack, as I didn't really like the original one. I liked the look of this one and I wasn't disappointed.
The build is nothing too special, however I really like the fact that it can hold all weapons (apart from the flamethrower).
My favourite part of this set are the figures. Stormtroopers are always very collectible, so it is great to get two of them. They each also come with a more film-accurate (rather than the one in 75139 Battle on Takodana) riot control baton and a new riot shield, which both look great. The flametrooper is good too, as he only came more expensive sets and is also very collectible. The new blue first order officer looks cool, although I don't remember seeing them in that colour in the film.
The one thing I don't like is the use of stud shooters as weapons. I do think it looks ok when they add an attachment on, like for the officer, and I understand why they include them, but it would be nice if they also include normal blasters for those who don't want to actually shoot, but rather to display the figures.
All in all though, I think this is a great set for both kids who want to play with it or for people who just want the figures.

Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack
" For me (and probably most people) the main reason to get this set was the figures. I am going to break this set down and review the individual elements.
The Build: 9/10 For a small and inexpensive battle pack, the speeder bike is amazing. The colour scheme is good and it makes interesting uses of pieces. I am fine with the stud shooters on the side of the speeder. They don't take away from the look and add playability. My only complaints are that it only holds one figure and that there is nowhere to store the minfigs' weapons.
Bossk: 9/10 My favourite figure in this set. I love the colour scheme and theprint on his torso and legs is detailed. His head mold is also amazing and the print on it is also very detailed.
Dengar: 6/10 He is a pretty good minifigure. I like the head accessory and print. The printing on his torso is detailed. No leg printing though. And I wish LEGO had included Zuckuss instead, as Dengar comes in the €30 Freemaker Adventures set.
IG-88: 7/10 Good representation of the source material. The print on the 1x1 cylinder that represents his 'face' is a great one. Also comes with a blaster rifle, which are now uncommon in battle packs
4-LOM: 8/10 This figure is also very detailed. The head mold is amazing, with great printing. The torso and legs have very subtle prints that look really cool.
To be honest main complaint about this set is one that I have about ALL recent battle packs, and that is the use of stud shooters as minifigure accessories. Although I understand that it is fun for kids to be able to physically shoot something, I feel like LEGO should include the more film-accurate blasters for those people who want to display the figures by themselves.
All in all though, I think that this is one of my favourite (if not my favourite!!!) battle pack to date, and I would definitely reccomend this as a play-set or for the figures.
