Save You Some Green
" The large green base plate is a nice easy (inexpensive) way to reenact battles, build fortifications, etc. It is also very cheap you can buy three of these and it would be a similar price range to the gray base plate which is sold for fifteen dollars. The only issue I had with the green base plate is that it is green so if you are trying to make a battle that took place indoors you will have to buy the gray base plate.

The green base plate is an inexpensive way to experience your lego sets in a whole new way :). "

Very Necessary
" Believe it or not this is very necessary for any lego builder. It provides an easy yet effective way to remove those pesky stuck bricks and it does it effectively ( only removing the piece you want it to remove). It is excellent to fix mistakes that you make while building and it is cheap. I gave it a zero for play experience because you don't play with the brick remover you just use it.
So get it because it is very useful and because you NEED IT ! "

Endless Possibilities.....
" The motor itself for me is quite powerful but I don't know because I haven't gotten the XL motor yet. All you really need is the battery box and you can build a number of things such as windmills ( if you put minifigs on the windmill they spin like crazy), RC cars ( if you buy two of these motors, the IR receiver and a battery box it works great), drills ( that can tear through paper), it can also be used to clean your dusty legos if you put a q tip on a axle attached to the motor with a rubber band to keep the q tip still, and much much more. Great motor and can be used for a number of things.

Very Good Young Apprentice...
" I don't care what anyone else says this set is COOL. It has a very unique... but stylish design to it and Dooku...I will get to him later.
The Ship
Dooku's solar sailor probably will take you about two hours to build and it is a very different build experience pretty much sideways instead of just layering pieces on straight up like most ships. When finished it is sleek and makes you want to "whoosh" it around. The flick missiles on this set ( unlike most sets) actually works. There are levers on the sides that you push and it shoots two missiles at a time. They actually go quite far. However when you open the "solar sail" the ship takes on a unique look. My complaint is the few times that I opened the " solar Sails" the top or bottom broke :( but I keep it closed most of the time anyway because I prefer the way it looks. The ball cockpit gives the ship a nice touch and the opening back that hold Dooku and his speeder keeps him in his place but there is a big gap in between the two back parts which are actually tie fighter cockpits colored gray so you can see Dooku even if it is closed.
The Speeder
Dooku's speeder is simple yet very movie accurate and has spots to hold his lightsaber on either side but I would take his cape off before you put him on the speeder because it crinkles the cape ( if you put the cape under a heavy object like a book it will turn out looking like new if done long enough).
The minifigs
The pilot droid is neat because he has a skeletons foot as his head. Now finally for Dooku He is AMAZING LOOKING he even has a hood if you didn't like the hair. His lightsaber is bent just like in the movie and is chrome but I would prefer if it was the new matte silver because the chrome wears off after a while.
Overall
Great set ship is very unique and sleek looking has opening " solar sailors." Dooku is very neat and so is his movie accurate speeder and his pilot droid so BUY IT! "

Pretty Good
" My main purpose for buying this set is to expand my new clone army. If you have the will and money I would buy three so that you can have a huge army. But don't build the walker because it just makes you want to fill them with your troops.
The reason I didn't give this set all five bricks for overall and play experience is because the walker is sort of limited to pose and the flick fire missiles :(
The bottom line is get this set because it has clones and if you like the walker that's cool too. "

B-E-A utiful
" Wow this set has a lot of play value. The build takes only about 20 to 30 minutes and the finished product is beautiful. The landing gear works wonderfully but the flick fire missiles are a little hard to operate but I use them more for looks. If you want to fire them try pushing them instead of flicking. The ejection function for r2 d2 works if you hit it hard but r2 d2 has a tendency to fall out if the ship is flipped or spun but if you replace the front orange piece in his compartment with a 2x2 square flat brick he will stay in his compartment. The only other issue I had with the set was the fact that I had no place to keep Anakin's light saber so I placed it through the hole on the side of the gizmo that launches r2 d2. My Anakins gold on his belt has faded a bit :(
Overall
Great set looks beautiful when done and with a few modifications has endless play experience. "

Excellent for your army
" This set is highly useful for people looking to expand their droid army it has high playability and will keep you occupied for weeks to come.
The Build
The droids including the spider droid are very simple to build they will take you probably 5 minutes tops. The hailfire droid took me about 15 minutes because the treads which allow it to move (which is very cool) is very time consuming because you have to connect every tread.
Play
As simple as the build is the play experience is phenomonal for as short as the build is it is probably the easiest to play with it comes with a commander droid ( sort of rare) , two normal droids, and a super battle droid. These are all very useful to fight clones with and help to expand or start your amy.
Overall
This set is great to start or extend an army for a very low cost. "

It's been a long time....
" Its been a long time since I've purchased a bionicle set. My last set I purchased from the bionicle line are the hordika, but I have the very original bionicles from 2001 so this is a big step for me.
Mata Nui is very "human like" in appearance compared to bionicle's original sets. He does have things that look like hands and under his helmet he has an actual robotic looking face. He is not hard to build he will probably take you only10 minutes if you take your time. His thornax launcher shoots decently far and his scarab shield looks cool.
His ankle guards do rattle which many reviewers complain about but if they didn't move his feet wouldn't be as pose able. Besides tell me how lego is supposed to stop them from rattling? They did the best they could and the bottom line is Mata Nui is a awesome looking Bionicle and is also don't forget the creator of the bionicles himself so go buy him now! "

Real Bang for Your Buck!
" I have to say this set really blew me away with how much you get it is an amazing deal.
The Car
In this set the car for me has to be the best. It has more gadgets than I thought was possible for a lego car. The car itself takes about 1 hour or 45 minutes and it is a real piece of engineering. Everything in the car is set up to do something. The concealed guns on the hood are very clever and so are the rockets in the back and how they lift up. My only complaint is that if you tilt the car too far back the back lifts up but that is a minor issue. The ejector seat does not work very well unless you hit the front bumper hard. But the car is so beautiful you almost don't want to hit the front.

The helicopter takes about 30 to 45 minutes to build and it's fairly simple. Whoever thought of the pulley system is a genius because when you pull down on spy clops the propeller spins.

The Gate
The gate takes about 20 to 30 minutes to build it is pretty nifty too. When the car busts through the gate it trips the alarm which is a sound brick and it is loud!

Overall this set is a great deal and it comes with some interesting pieces like a laptop and probably the best lego car so far. Too bad it is sold out so if you see it BUY IT!

Excellent set
" This is a very good set. It has 5 mini figures. This took me about 45 minutes to build. The mini figs look great. It comes with extra armor. Mine came with an extra blaster. The spider droid can move if you grab the legs and move it. I recommend this set to a person that has the tank so they can fight each other.
