LEGO Town Essentials - Pig Farm & Tractor
It's harvest time at the farm, and there's a lot to get done! The farmer and his wife are busy with their chores: driving the tractor and transport wagon, pitching hay and feeding the hungry pigs. Looks like it's going to be another hard-working day! Includes 4 little pigs and 2 farm minifigures Load the pigs into the transport wagon!

This little piggy went to the market
" This set is great for anyone needing to complete their farm. The tractor and trailer are simple enough to build based on the age recommendation on the box. Overall the entire set was simple and takes anywhere between 1 and 3 hours depending on building experience. Once it's built there is plenty of play for a child such as putting the 4 little pigs in the tractor and hauling them around or putting them in their pen for their afternoon meal.
Pros:
4 pigs and the farmer figure
Tractor is very similar to the tractor that is found in set 7634 and is a durable build.
Includes food to put in the troughs
Many hours of playability for a youngster

Cons:
The pig's pen is not secured to the ground and is easily moved even with the slightest budge. This can be resolved by using 1 dot wide plates with a fastener attached.
The suggested retail is much higher than comparable sets with the same count of pieces. "

Only for the die-hard Star Wars fan
" This set is easily constructed with not many challenging steps. With such a low piece count it is actually more suitable for an age lower than what is on the box and can be easily assembled in one evening for an experienced builder. There are some interesting details in the ship such as the large astromech droid's dome that rotates but unless you are strictly a collector, I would advise you to spend your money on other more reasonably priced sets. This set is not designed with the intention of someone playing with it but instead for one to build and display on a shelf.

LEGO Star Wars Classic - Armored Assault Tank
Leading an army of Separatist Super Battle Droids, the formidable Armored Assault Tank (AAT) glides quickly over the Clone Wars battlefield. With a movable heavy laser cannon, blasters with flick-missile launchers, opening cockpit and turret hatches and a detachable speeder, it seems unstoppableuntil Jedi Master Yoda arrives on the scene to turn the tide! Includes Yoda, Clone Trooper, 2 Battle Droids and 3 Super Battle Droids with rocket-launcher arms! Tons of action play! Lift the compartment hatch and play inside, turret moves and a detachable speeder too! Measures 8" (20cm) wide by 8" (20cm) long

Own this you should, yes
" Very similar to the previous AAT that was produced for the Episode I movie, this set remains true to form. The set is fun to build and displays well.
Pros:
Yoda figure is good, but not as good as the one from the older X-Wing set
Sturdy build. Does not fall apart easily
Fairly good size for the money
Back Hatch opens

Cons:
Not an even balance of clone troopers to battle droids
Stickers (printed pieces are always nicer)
Could have included walking stick for Yoda "

Perfect for any fan of Toy Story
" Overall this is a fun set, but if you are more interested in the actual building of the set versus playing with it once it's built, then consider one of the other sets like Construct a Buzz or Construct a Zurg. Otherwise this is a quick and easy build that is a very close replica to the car seen in the movie.
Pros:
Buzz Lightyear figure with tall rocket
Excellent detail
Pullback motor

Cons:
Buzz's helmet should be moving/telescoping
Too few pieces for the price
Easy for pieces to fall off when in use. Typically the eyes and Spoiler are the first to go "

Instant classic
" This set is perfect for fans of Classic Star Wars and ideal for anyone who has missed out on previous versions of the Ewok and Speeder Bikes.
Pros:
1) A plethora of minifigures including 3 new Ewoks.
2) Improved version of the Ewok flyer
3) Speeder bikes
4) Great playability between the Ewoks and the Speeder Bikes and the Chicken Walker.

Cons:

2) The build of the AT-ST would be difficult for younger builders and may require adult intervention.
3) Would recommend having more shrubbery/trees to give it a more Endor-like feel "

LEGO Star Wars Classic - Echo Base
It's the 10th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, and Imperial forces are invading the Rebels' secret base on the ice planet Hoth! As Han Solo leaves for a mission on his tauntaun, snowtroopers attack with their heavy repeating blaster. It's up to the Rebel Alliance troopers to fight back with their missile-firing defense turret and trench with figure-flinging battle action. Includes 2 Snowtroopers, 2 Hoth Rebel Soldiers, Han Solo with Hoth gear, and the first-ever LEGO Tauntaun! Includes 5 minifigures: 2 snow troopers with E-web blaster, 2 Rebel troopers and Han Solo in Hoth winter gear! Features anti-infantry laser battery with opening turret door and flick fire missiles! First-ever LEGO Tauntaun also included! Turret is 3.5" (9cm) tall; trenches are 4.5" (11cm) long

Good only for the figures
" Pros:
New Tauntaun figure
2 Snowtroopers
Cons:
Flickfire missiles
Very small and many small pieces
Poor design of catapult
New Tauntaun figure
2 Snowtroopers
Cons:
Flickfire missiles
Very small and many small pieces
Poor design of catapult
The set costs $25 and only has two more pieces in it than the Anakin Skywalker's Starfighter which is $20. Many of the pieces in this set are small and when the set is completely built it feels very small compared to other sets in this price point. The minifigures are good for people who missed out on the Snowtroopers in previous releases and the Tauntaun is nice. This set would be more suited for a collector of minifigures and not so much for somebody who is more interested in the process of building the set itself.
