Good set
" Lots of 'play value' in this set, since it's composed of many smaller elements added together.
Nice number of minifigs, though I would have liked to see a couple more Imperials in the mix.
The Ewoks are FAR superior in look to the old ones. Nice job.
One complaint though...the 'swing-out' wall sections don't clip into the main body of the building very well.

All in all, a nice set. It's nice to see Endor getting some love, since it didn't get much attention in previous years.

FINALLY!
" I don't know why it took so long to get a LEGO Wampa but, it's finally here!
Good little set. I really like the Snowspeeder...though I think it would have been better to have the SS in the 'Echo Base' set and Han on Tauntaun in this set and switch the price points on them. JMO, of course.

Aside from the rather high price, it's a great set.

BF is back!
" Though the price tag on this is a little scary, the set itself is great.
If you don't yet have a Slave-I in your collection, this is a fantastic set to start with.
My fave thing about this set? The new figs, hands down.
Only complaint about the set is that Boba's helmet seems to ride just a wee bit high. "

Nice surprise!
" First off, this is a far more detailed set than I initially thought it was.
From the picture, it looks like there's not really much to it. Not so.
It's a well-constructed ship with lots of parts in cool colours.
My only really big complaint is the Star Command logo stickers. A real pain to get lined-up perfectly.

Vader's 'fly' ride. =)
" Good build.
Quick and easy. No surprises.
Not many HUGE changes from previous versions except that now, the colouring on the wings is grey, instead of the blue that had been used by LEGO for so long.
Now, that makes the ship look pretty sleek but, it also makes it stick out like a sore thumb amongst any other Imperial TIE fighters you might have kicking around in your collection.

Looks nice.
" When it's all built and sitting there to be admired, it looks pretty sharp.
But, with that said, I really don't like the set-up for the x-wing formation. A 'dial' and 'rubber bands' don't really seem like a long-term solution. I'm guessing that those bands will snap with age and then what? You've got x-wings that will never stay open again.
I prefer the older style x-wing set-up. Yes, you had to move each wing on its own but, it stayed where you put it and you didn't have to worry about rubber bands breaking.

Not bad.
" Took a little longer to build than I had expected but, the overall product ended up not too bad.
Couple of complaints:
1) the on/off switch is awkward to get to
2) you have to take some of it apart to change batteries
3) the weird handle on the top
2) you have to take some of it apart to change batteries
3) the weird handle on the top
To solve the handle issue, I just removed it and covered the area with two 6x8 grey plates. Worked great and looks fantastic.

LEGO Hard to Find Items: Level Crossing(7936)
Raise and lower the crossing gates and repair the tracks!

Finally!
" Okay, sure, this new set doesn't have as much stuff as the old 'level crossing' set...no baseplate, building, pedestrian crossing...BUT...it's cheaper and still provides a way for your vehicles to cross your train tracks without 'chassis damage'. =)
The lower cost also makes it a lot easier to pick up a few of these, to use at multiple points around your layout. "

Cool set.
" Lots of tan plates. Cool set-up. The only set (that *I* am aware of) that you can get the Stinky Pete minifig.
All in all, quite cool.
A bit pricey but, that's no surprise for a 'licensed' set.
Great 'play value' for the kids, for sure. "

Too bad about the tin
" Nice watch...comes in a nice tin...BUT, unfortunately, it's NOT the old 'Stormtrooper' tin.
The tin is now a black tin, with the image of a LEGO minifig Darth Vader, instead of the old white tin with the Stormtrooper image.
Shame. That old tin was COOL. "
