bring on the minis
This is a really cool mini, it is very strong, looks like the original, but I don't see how it can be educational. Whatever, still very fun!
The Best Mini!
I love this set. It is a great addition to any Star Wars collector, or a young fan. These mini-models alow people to be able to enjoy their favourite viechles, but without spending $100 (AT-AT, Millenium Falcon etc.) to just buy the set. Aside from the price, the mini-models are just as fun and exciting as their bigger counterparts. This set, unfortunatly, has no moving parts at all, except the circle-thingy on it's front, but it only moves a little.
Made from only 99 pieces, this set isn't very hard to build, but can be a bit demanding on consentration. The finished product can easily fit into the palm of your hand or slip into your pocket.
Also, several of the models that have been discontinued by the LEGO company, such as TIE Fighter, Vader's TIE Fighter, Podracers, Sith Infiltrator, Imperial Shuttle, MTT, and Jedi Starfighter; making this a great way to obtain them for at least 75% less of the price.
I love this set!! Buy it!!
Not As Fun As The Larger Model
Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.
The Multi-Troop Transport is pretty true to the original but just doesn't seem the same if it can't deploy a load of droid troops (kind of hard to do at this scale). The finished model is a good size for playing with.
The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid and believable. The set includes extra parts for making part of a Y-Wing (the rest of the parts are available with the AT-At, Millennium Falcon, and the Republic Gunship).
All in all, very nicely done.
