Quick build
" This was a very fast build. With only 57 parts, from the time the box was opened to the time it was built was under ten minutes.
I purchased this set because some friends just came back from a trip to Seattle. I gave it to them as a welcome home gift. They loved it. They've commented several times on how great it looks. The book that came with it, had facts and information even the tour guide didn't tell them. All in all a good set. "

Good for the beginner
" This set has lots of Creator style bricks, doors, windows, etc. If your looking for a starter set, for that new builder, this is a perfect set. It gives the new builder a wide choice of parts, and building options.
If you just want to add to your existing collection, I would suggest the 6177 set. It cost the same but has 245 more bricks then this set, for the same price! "

Fun to build, fun to watch
" After sorting the parts, it took about four hours to assemble. Lego did a nice job of laying out the instructions, making it pain free and enjoyable. I was a little concerned when I saw they only used a medium Power Function motor. But it works great.
Once assembled it worked much better than I expected. It even handled carpeting. It moves at a nice slow pace, and moves very close to the walker in the movie. It did fall over on me once, and it had to be the time I wasn't right next to it. My nephews saw it and ran in flying X-Wings and shooting at it. But that's why I keep the instructions.

The per brick price is just over 11 cents, a great price.

A good thinking game.
" This is our third Lego game. It goes together in just a few minutes, and in a few more we all knew the rules and were playing. Depending on how you play, the game can be either a slower moving strategy game, or a fast paced race to the end. We first played with the older kids and adults. It was fun planning your route while stopping others. Then the younger kids wanted to play (5-7 yrs). So we went with very simple rules, get there first! They had just as much fun as we did. Another great game from Lego!

Wow, what a great set
" The set took me about two hours to assemble. Nothing real tricky, I think an experienced builder under the recommended age limit could put it together without any problems.
This set has just so much playability to it. Possibly the most of any set I've built to date. The AT-ST walker is nice, with plenty of detail. Ewoks firing rocks and flying over head. Scout Troopers on speeder bikes. Reliving the movie moment of trying to break their way into the bunker. and just so much more.
Even if your not a Star Wars fan, this set is simply a great Lego set. At a per brick price of a little over 11 cents, it makes it all the better. "

Bulk bricks
" I think there's a few to many small bricks and not nearly enough of the larger one's. At a per brick price of around 4.5 cents, it's still a good buy.
Here's what you get;
1X1 = 132
1X2 = 224
1X3 = 36
1X4 = 26
1X6 = 10
1X8 = 6
2X2 = 136
2X3 = 36
2X4 = 39
2X6 = 3
2X8 = 2 "

So much fun
" This game is a blast to play. We rarely got to complicated with our creations. If you like Pictionary, you'll love this. Super easy to play, and the rules are very basic. We played with 4 people and it stayed fairly fast paced. We ended up just dumping the blocks in the middle of the table and grabbing what we needed. Some of the grand kids that played were as young as 5, they took a little longer but had just as much fun.
For what you get with this Set/Game, has a great price. "

We've got pigs..
" This set is a great addition to the other farm themed sets. It fit right in, and was compatible as far as tractors and equipment goes. The set went together quickly and any one in the recommended age group should have no problem building it. Along with the pigs, there are several other new parts. But the pigs are very cool, and really make the set.
At a per brick price of over 13 cents, the set is a little over priced. "

Nice looking set
" We wanted to add a construction area to our train layout. This was the perfect choice to get started with. The set went together in a few hours and was not difficult.
The set has a lot of detail from the little back hoe to the crane itself. We purchased some additional gray bricks to make the construction site look bigger.
At a per brick price of just over 11 cents, this is a good set for parts as well. "

Talk about fun!
" It arrived last night. The grandkids and I played for nearly two hours. it was a lot of fun. They continued long after I stopped.
The game sets up quick and is easy to learn. No complicated rules, everybody picked up on it.
After getting the game and I saw all the cool minifig heads, I ordered another one just for the parts. "
