Nice truck
" The truck went together in just over an hour. It's full sized and looks very realistic. There's a ton of detail to it. I have it on my train layout and it looks much nicer than the older Lego garbage truck.
At just over 12 cents, it's a great buy. "

Nice looking set
" We spent a rainy weekend putting this set together. The instructions are well laid out. It was a very fun and interesting set to build. Building each little micro scene was the best part. the detail was amazing. Lego really did a great job at picking key features from each scene and fitting them into this set.
The set looks nice on display. Everyone that has seen it so far can't help but look at each little compartment. We watched the movie again, before assembling it. it really added to the fun. At a per brick price 10.5 cents, it's nicely priced. It just has a ton of parts... "

Cool starfighter
" The set was fun to assemble and went together in just over an hour. For only having 396 parts, this thing is huge! Opening the wings makes it look even larger. The three cockpits is a really nice design, lots of playability.
With the rear gunner and the shape of the starfighter, this set has a lot of swoosh factor. Instant dog fight for sure.
The only down side is the "auto-firing flick missiles" don't always fire that well. The per brick price is 15 cents. Normally I'd say that was high, but this set is big, fun, and well worth it. "

LEGO MINDSTORMS - Rechargeable Battery
Add the rechargeable battery to your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot and end your need for AA batteries! Rechargeable battery is lithium. Requires #9833 Transformer, sold separately, to recharge battery. Please Note: Building instructions for NXT models do not include instruction for incorporating the rechargable battery. This battery will increase the depth of your NXT intelligent brick so you will need to adjust your models accordingly.

Good for high end users
" The battery pack last up to 2 or 3 times longer than standard AA's depending on how it's being used. The voltage stays high nearly to the end of it's charge. No need to disassemble your project to replace batteries, just plug in the charger and your good to go.
Who should use it.
If your NXT project is built in a way that makes swapping batteries difficult of impossible.
If you need more consistent power output.
If you need long run times.
If your NXT project is built in a way that makes swapping batteries difficult of impossible.
If you need more consistent power output.
If you need long run times.
Who shouldn't
If you only use your NXT once in a while. Regular AA's will do.
If you don't mind swapping batteries, I would suggest buying rechargeable AA's instead. even if you use the NXT a lot.
If your on a tight budget. At $78.98 for the battery and the charger, it's a pricey purchase. "

Great part
" This wire lets you use your old motors and lights with power function battery box, and remotes. I have a ton of the old stuff that I now get to continue to use. Thanks Lego!

A good set.
" This is a good starter set. The motor that comes with it is the smaller of the two power function motors. You save a little over $3.00 by buying this set vs buying the parts separately, plus you get a few gears and jointed pieces.

Very cool
" My wife wanted me to make her a key chain out of an actual Princess Leia minifig. This was a perfect alternative to destroying a minifig. She's used it now for a month and it has held up well to daily use.

Not great
" The set went together in under a half an hour. I had issues right from the start. The lights on top would not stay in place. The flick fire missiles, just don't flick all that well. The track that should move smoothly, doesn't.
On the up side, you do get four great minifigs, and the set looks very cool sitting on a shelf. The per brick price is under 12cents, so not overpriced by much. "

Better than expected
" I wasn't a huge fan of the Lego Assassin Minifigs, but purchased it because you get five of them. I was surprised, the black ones look pretty cool and silver ones look better than I thought. Each one has its own weapon, and you get a pair flick fire missiles.
The speeder was way better than expected. The fact that it seats two is nice, and it has excellent swoosh factor.
With five minifigs, guns and a speeder, this sets price is pretty good. "
