The mini-figs of the falcon at 1/10 the price!
" Ok well the mini-figs aren't the only reason to buy this set, but they sure do make it worth the money (if you can find it for the original price of $49.99 USD). The X-Wing features very sturdy flipping wings and a fairly detailed structure. It is fun to build, features more color than other versions of the ship, and comes with great mini-figs. This set is worth every penny!

Well, it "was" the new Batmobile...
" This now classic Batmobile is a fantastic buy for large display lego set collectors. It is fun to build (instructions are somewhat confusing only because it is all black) and at +1000 pieces it is a long one too. The final product is quite big and bad, and the rotating gears and flames are a nice touch. Also, the moving bat head in the front is a neat touch that will be sure to impress the parents or friends.

The Tumbler!!!!!!!!!!
" Ok I wanted a tumbler lego set ever since seeing Batman Begins, and they have done a magnificent job here. I was kind of hoping for a large 1000-piece UCS edition of the Tumbler, but this version is surprisingly detailed for its piece count. The Joker's truck is fun to build and play with as well. While the ice cream scene is not present in a movie with the Tumbler, it is still great for imaginative play. I recommend this set for young and old fans of lego or even just Batman. This is a great set, don't miss out!

Poor Robin
" The unfortunate thing here is that Robin's sub lacks any detail and does not fit him well (messes with his cape). The penguin sub, however, is a nice vehicle and is sturdy. My favorite part is actually the little penguins with cool pistols. I'd recommend this set for a younger lego or Batman fan.

The Signature Vessel of the Imperial Fleet
" This set is so MASSIVE it takes up half of my dining room table!
I recommend this only for display purposes, however I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 for play experience because it is so big that you can actually stage battles on it or under it! If you are looking for a big display set look no further, as this is the most impressive thing you can spend the $200 on. The price per piece is very good, and it will give you an unbelievable amount of grey space pieces. The build is long but very fun, and you will feel quite accomplished when looking upon the final product. "

Why did these always blow up instead of helping?
" In the movies these fighters were better at exploding and getting shot down than shooting like an X-Wing, but this set helps to better the Y-Wings name. It is well designed and very detailed (While it is a medium size set it features the equivalent detail of many UCS sets). It is fun to build and great for display as well. I recommend this set and it is one of my personal favorites.

Wait... I don't recognize this.
" This ship was a completely new sight for me and I was very taken aback by this. It is to be featured in the Force Unleashed (which I plan to play) so I figured it looks cool why not pick it up.
This review comes with a backstory (sorry) as well. This is the set that got me back into lego, and I haven't looked back since. While it is expensive it does come with 3 great mini-figs and it has MANY moving and flipping parts. It is asymmetrical which makes it appealing to me, and it is overall well designed (when I first built it the blue rotating pieces amazed me!).
All in all it is an interesting set and if you enjoy its looks in the picture pick it up because it won't disappoint. "

A great 3 minutes
" Well this took me something like 3 minutes to build but I did not expect it to be much longer. This set isn't made for a building experience as much as it is an army builder. The detachable platform is surprisingly well designed and increases the set's playability. Also, you can't go wrong with 3 stormtroopers and a shadow pilot.

Brokeback Droids
" This set doesn't appear to be much, but there is quite a bit to it. I like how there are 4 blaster rifless, one for each battle droid. The super droids look cool but the legs do break off rather easily. STAP vehicle is well designed though. For pure army building this set is great, otherwise a more structurally significant set may be more satisfying.

Wow... Just, Wow.
" This set is:
a) Fun to build
b) Great for play
c) Great for display
d) Great for army-building (Comes with 20 Droids and a Destroyer Droid)
e) Highly modular (Many hatches and a customizable vehicle in its own bay)

The only con is that since you're reading this you might not have it yet... Seriously this is an amazing set.
