Best Infiltrator Yet
" This is without a doubt the best version of the Sith Infiltrator yet. It resolved a few of the design issues of the previous models and has great play value.
Pros:
-Solid design. The front doesn't flip open like the last one did
-Love the new retractable landing gear
-The Sith speeder fits perfectly into the bay
-Cockpit module is more accessible
-Watto, for those of us who missed him in the podracer set
-Updated Quigon. He's my favorite Jedi, so I'm a little partial on that one

-Updated Quigon. He's my favorite Jedi, so I'm a little partial on that one
Cons:
-No lightsaber storage. That was one feature I really liked in the previous version.
-Still needs to have curved wings. The second version Infiltrator had the most accurate wings, in my opinion

-Still needs to have curved wings. The second version Infiltrator had the most accurate wings, in my opinion
I really like this model, it feels solid and sturdy, which means it holds up very well in battles. I'd give it a solid 9/10 (I really want somewhere to store the lightsaber). I would definitely recommend this one.

So Much Love
" This is, by far, the best version of the standard TIE fighter so far. Prior versions suffered from an inherent wobbliness in the wings, but that has been resolved on this set.
Pros:
-4 new minifigs with new helmets
-Real weapons, not the stud shooters
-Sturdy design. Seriously, the wings don't even wiggle
-Great color scheme
-3 dome pieces make the cockpit easy to access

Cons:

I give this one a full 10/10 and would recommend it to any Star Wars Lego fan.

So Much Fun
" Before I saw The Lego Movie, I saw this set and thought it looked interesting. This is one of the few sets from TLM that doesn't have an alternate build. Having said that, the car is still very cool. The design is very sleek with lots of room inside for Bad Cop to sit. It looks like they set aside room in the car for storing accessories without coming out and saying that's what it was for. The most notable feature on the car is the hidden guns on each side which fold out when the side panels are raised. Can I just say how happy I am that there weren't any flick-fire missiles? Anyhow, I thought the front hood design with the crash bar was cool as well. Only four stickers to apply, which some will see as a relief. I love that the car is labeled "Super Secret Police" on the sides :)
For such a small "prop" as the bridge segment, it was actually done very well. Even though it is a small part of the track, it is sturdy and well-built. The collapsing mechanism is very simple, but works flawlessly every time. At first glance, it may seem like it was included to bring up the piece count, but it actually works in very nicely, especially with the two police gators.
We're bound to end up with a few Emmet figures as we collect the various sets, and I think they should've at least given him different facial expressions for each set. This is the only set (so far) to feature Bad Cop/Good Cop, which is cool. His gun, while annoying on the Star Wars side, works well and has a surprisingly greater range than you'd expect.
Overall, I'd give this set an 8/10. The hovercar is the highlight of the set and has some interesting build techniques to help train up more "Master Builders". It would've scored a bit higher with some different facial expressions for our buddy Emmet and possibly some more accessories for Bad Cop (like some handcuffs). What would make it even better it to have another set (the Batwing, for example) with more of the track/bridge to complement the scene.

Great Model!
" This is a great model from the Clone Wars series. It's a very unique design, which makes for an interesting build.
What I Loved:
-The sliding cockpit just seems cool to me, and I like that there's room for both clones up front.
-I'm a fan of the red shock troopers
-Lots of features on the ship (landing gear, bay doors, storage, clips for the pistols)
-Ahsoka with alternate expression
-Call me crazy, but I like the stickers.
-Solid design, you can pick it up without worrying about pieces getting knocked off.

My 'Meh' List:
-Some may like the new spring-loaded missiles, but I'm not really a fan (really easy to swap out for anyone else who may not like them)
-No storage for the lightsabers
-It's a bit difficult to get the figures in & out of the rear bay (maybe my fingers are too big?)
-What is that little black thing on the rear door supposed to do? Is it a droid of some kind??
-I know Anakin was a big part of the episode where the gunship was featured, but he's probably one of the most common minifigs

So Much Win!!
" I was a little hesitant when this set first came out because it looked like just another rehash of an old set. Then I got a great deal on it and couldn't pass it up. It may look similar on the outside, but the construction has been greatly improved. This one is very well designed and is incredibly sturdy.
What I Loved:
-As I said, the redesign is so much better in terms of stability
-It's great to have the side turrets back
-The red clone trooper was a great add
-The weapon storage in the back was a nice touch

The 'Meh' List:
-The speeder bike. Do we really need another one?
-I would've traded out Obi-Wan for another clone trooper. I'm not saying there should've been four more clones to fill up all the seats (that's what battle packs are for), but I wouldn't complain about having one extra
-I do miss the nose art from the previous version, but if we're staying true to Episode II, I can see why it was left out.

This set comes ridiculously close to being a perfect 10/10. The build was fun without being too difficult, there's so much play value when it's done, and I don't have to worry about pieces coming loose when I pick it up. Lego did a great job on this one!

Awesome Swoosh Factor!
" This set is a must-have for Clone Wars fans. The ship design is quite easy to build and looks great when it's done.
What I Loved:
-The new 501st troopers. The new helmets and printing are awesome. I half expected them to have the new battle pack faces, but they're still great with the standard clone face (here's hoping for a 501st battle pack someday...)
-Pong Krell is a nice addition to the set.
-Ship design was easy with a couple of nice twists with the very effective sideways builds
-The stowable weapon sled is cool, and even though it isn't actually attached to anything it stays secured even when the ship is inverted
-The rear landing gear are nicely done.

What I Would've Changed:
-The Technic missile seems to be a bit much for the ship. While I'm happy not to have any flick-fire missiles, I think the launcher would've been better suited for a ground vehicle.
-Do yourself a favor and put the round engine stickers on before you assemble the engine pods. Trying to put the stickers on was a little tricky (maybe it's just my big fingers)...
-I don't think it would've hurt anyone to include a second blaster so the clones could each have one.

This one is a 9.8/10 for me. While the missile launcher doesn't really do it for me, it's not a deal breaker by any means. The ship is surprisingly sturdy and is a lot of fun to fly. I'd highly recommend this one!

Best Falcon Yet!
" This is, by far, the best version of the Millennium Falcon yet. It is slightly larger than the #4504 version and the construction is much better. The base is stronger and overall it just holds together better. The inside has a lot more play area than the old versions had. The build was very straight-forward, took me 3.5 hours (including a few distractions).
The Awesome List:
-Top & bottom turrets with better design, and will actually seat two figures as it should.
-Alternate expressions for Luke and Leia
-Printed legs for Luke
-6 Minifigs
-Smuggling compartment for cargo or figures
-Better landing gear than the last version

Could've Been Improved:
-There are clips for the two lightsabers, but nowhere to store the three blasters and crossbow. It's not like there wasn't room inside
-The flick-fire missiles are a little awkward to reach if you actually wanted to use them.

Seriously, that's all I could find that wasn't great. Some have complained about too many stickers, but I don't see that as a problem. As long as they're cheaper than printed pieces, I'm happy to have stickers. Yes, the boarding ramp doesn't really serve a purpose (it didn't on the previous version either), but people would complain if it wasn't there.
This is a great set with ample "play experience". This one is easily a 10/10.

Best Version Yet
" This is the 4th version of the A-Wing fighter and, in my opinion, the best one. The design is cleaner than the previous versions and I really like the subtle differences (the top fins, the front of the ship, the hinged canopy, the four thruster control jets on the back), and I don't even mind the flick-fire missiles.
Pros:
-Alternate scared expression for the pilot (presumably for when he's about to crash into the bridge of the super star destroyer). The new helmet is cool too.
-Love the design, more movie-accurate than the earlier models

Things that make you go Hmmmm....
-Why is Han Solo included in this set? I'm not complaining... I just don't see the connection.
-Han gets a pistol, the pilot gets a wrench, and Ackbar gets... a coffee mug?

There aren't any real negatives to this set. It has an incredible swoosh factor, looks great, and comes with great minifigs. Even if you have all three other versions, I'd still recommend getting this one.

Long Overdue
" It's great to finally have a capital ship for the separatists. Bringing such a large ship down to a playable scale couldn't have been easy. This set was a straight-forward build, if your 7-8 yr old has building experience they shouldn't have a problem putting this together.
Shortcomings:
-This would've been the perfect opportunity to include at least one MagnaGuard. We could've lived without the battle droid fillers.
-There's not a lot of playability inside the set. The "hovertrains" really didn't add much to the set. One, or both of them, could have been removed to make room for more troops or some other feature.

On the plus side:
-Fans of the flick-fire missiles will like the set-up on this set. The rotating missile launch system works very well and you get pretty good range with them too.
-The carry handle fits in nicely and makes it easy to transport.
-Count Dooku and Grievous have been fairly rare, so it's nice to see them in this set.

This is a great addition to your Separatist fleet. While it doesn't really have a "swoosh factor", it still looks cool and is a lot of fun. I'd give it a healthy 8/10.

A New Favorite
" This set is fantastic. Even if you've never played the Old Republic, you'll enjoy this one. It is a very enjoyable build and even more fun to fly.
Loved it:
-The wing design is great, I really like the angles and shape
-The folding fins on the back (and the clip system for the bottom fins)
-Troop compartment in the back
-Darth Malgus is pretty cool
-The instructions came in plastic wrap with a piece of cardboard to make sure they didn't get all scrunched up like they usually do
-A brick separator. Cool!

Areas for Improvement:
-The rear hatch tends to fall off sometimes when opening or closing (a problem inherent with the hinges)
-There's no place to store the lightsaber.
