Absolutely amazing...
" THis is by far the best buy for any collector as the book show every model made to date. The pictures are extremely detailed and so is the annotation that goes with them. However by far the best thing is the exclusive mini figure you get with this book (luke Skywalker from the medal ceremony at the end of a new hope) I would personally pay this just for the mini figure the book for me was just an added extra. a must buy...

Jedi Commander Barriss Offee...
" Put quite simply, I bought this set for the minifigures. This is the only set to boast an ordinary Clone with phase II armour, not seen since 2007, and Barriss Offee, who LEGO have made perfectly. It is nice to see that the minifigures have not got the huge eyes we have seen from LEGO Star Wars products of late. The three droids were also great. So what about the set itself? It's cleverly constructed and the finished product looks great. The way you can move the wheels and change their direction by moving the engine at the back is clever. However, this set is extremely overpriced. Both the size of the product and the piece to price ratio reflect this. It should cost a maximum of £20, not £29.99. Also, the flick missiles don't work (as usual). Overall this is a nice set mainly for the figures you get, however I think there are much better sets for the same price. "

Count Dooku Arrives...
" The new solar sailor is a great set. There are many functions that are really great about it. First of all, I would just like to say that I am thrilled that TLC released another Count Dooku. Some of the great functions of the solar sailor are adding a speeder for Count Dooku in the back. It is also very easy to get out because when you lay the solar sailor on the ground, it tilts backwards, making it a smooth ride when Dooku exits his magnificent ship. The wings are very nice because you can move them to whatever angle you would like! Adding two Magnaguards was great thinking because they are a must-have. The pilot is a nice addition to this set because when you land the ship, Dooku can go racing out of the back, instead of having to take him out of the cockpit and put him on the speeder. Overall, I think this is a great set and you should get it if you don't have the old Cound Dooku and you love Star Wars Lego! "

Beautifully detailed mini figures...
" This is and excellent set of 3 mini figure's and well worth the price tag. If you wanted to get these mini figures you would have to buy the separatist shuttle set ant the venerator set which comes to £130. "

Excellent ship but Overpriced...
" Lets get the one and only complaint out of the way:
This set is ludicrously expensive! It is about 15% smaller (by weight) than the Republic Attack Gunship (7676), but it costs almost 20% more. Other than that, this is a great set. It is quite large and it is very sturdily designed. The carrying handle is brilliant and makes it much easier to play with this set and transport it from place to place.
All the hidden chambers and functions are awesome. The removable escape pod at the back and the removable bomb dropper are great. The cockpit (also removable) and the Chancellor's quarters with the proto-Emperor's Throne and the Senate Guard Clones are both brilliant. The last great feature is the hidden cannon in fronts of the engines. The exterior design is also very good. It looks as close to the Venator in the films as reasonably possible. If I had to choose I would rather get battle of endor or the Home one set as you get a lot more mini figures and the actual sets are much more playable.

Droid Tri-Fighter...
" This set is one of my favorite sets out of all the Lego i have right now. The mini figure include 2 regular rocket battle droids and an amazing rocket battle droid commander. The coolest thing about the rocket battle droid commander is that it has markings on its head and it's bodies. The droid tri-fighter is so cool. I've been waiting for Lego to make one like this and they did. It has a very cool design and you can open it up and put a battle droid inside. It has cool flick fire bombs which are different from the normal flick-fire missiles. I recommend this to any person who likes the clone wars and is a collector. Overall this set is pretty good, the sets only flaw is that it is very repetitive when building. "

Nute Gunray...
" The Seperatist Shuttle is a great buy for any LEGO Star Wars fan! This set includes the first - ever LEGO Nute Gunray, Onaconda Farr, 2 regular battle droids and a rare battle droid pilot. The Seperatist Shuttle can hold 2 minifigures ( a pilot and passenger) . The cockpit of the shuttle opens and closes so you can take a minifigure out or put him back in. The hatch in the passenger compartment slides open (with the turn of a gear) so you can put a minifigure inside. The landing gear can fold up and down. The build time was about 14 minutes, and I think children will have a very good time playing with this set. The only problems with this set are that it was kind of hard to put Nute Gunray in the passenger compartment with his seat and there is no space for the battle droids. Overall it looks very accurate and the colour scheme fits in with the rest of the separatist models what clinches it is the cool new mini figures. "

Will make any clone army tremble...
" This must-have Star wars set is a great army builder for battle droids and clone troppers as it comes with 2 battle droids and 3 super battle droids that all have rocket blaster arms that look really good! plus it comes with a clone tropper with sniper plus the Jedi master himself...Yoda! Yoda's headpeice is rubber and very detailed and his silver hilted light saber adds to this iconic figure. The att is one of the most durable models in the star wars range and is very accurate to the clone wars series and has many attack features including the easy to use flick fire missiles and the heavy balster! it also has a detachable droid carrier that may not be as detailed but still is good. There are many comments that this set is overpriced however when you take into account what you get 7 great mini figures (the best by far being Yoda and the new super battle droids) and in my opinion one of the most detailed models the price works out very reasonable.

Includes 2 Battle Droid and 2 Jet-Pack Clone Trooper minifigures. Includes 4 minifigures: 2 Battle Droid and 2 jet-pack equipped Clone Troopers Features tracks that move and flick fire missiles! Corporate Alliance Tank Droid measures 6.5" (17cm) long

Must Buy Set...
" When I got this set I was amazed. For only £21.99 you get a lot. You get an awesome tank that is perfect for any droid army with two droids. Not only do you get the droids you get two clones with jetpacks! The new jetpacks are awesome and just make the clones look even cooler. The only problem is is that the launcher that is supposed to let you launch the clones, is totally worthless. Your better off just using it for spare parts. Overall this set is amazing especially the clone jet pack troopers well worth the money. "
