Lego Star Wars Set #7124 Flash Speeder The Flash Speeder is quick space transportation for two–plus some serious protection from a rear-mounted cannon. It’s really a sort of high-frontier Jeep. This LEGO version comes in 105 mostly green pieces, including a driver. Detailed wordless instructions are included, and pictures at the end illustrate a few alternative design configurations. About 6 inches long completed. –Richard Farr
Customer Review: Don’t Be Decieved
This Naboo Speeder from Lego is a little gem. Although it is not at all exciting and holds little entertainment value or building excitement, it is a great addition to a Lego collector’s collection.

It is a sturdy set that closely resembles the vehicle seen in the movie. There is a compartment in the back for keeping blasters or guns or whatever Queen Amidala wants hidden. Quick to build and very simple to complete.

No doubt this is an awesome addition to any collection! Hopefully, Lego will bring out some figures to compliment this vehicle.
Customer Review: An affordable must have!
The colors, shape, and sturdiness of this model make it a lot of fun. Unlike the land speeder model, this one does have glider pieces underneath. There is secret storage underneath the rear cannon. The side engines are really cool looking and very sturdy also. This set only comes with one mini-fig (a naboo royal guard), but you can have at least 3 along for the ride (the ones in the rear “seat” must stand though). The passenger seat gave me a great place to put my Padme fig from the podrace set. ;-)

LEGO Star Wars: Stormtrooper Technic (8008) This realistic stormtrooper moves and shoots! He stops, looks, aims and fires, all at your command! Working parts allow you to control the stormtrooper’s arms by a wheel in the back. Got your target in sight? Then fire the blaster across the room! Other working parts include a head that moves up and down, and fingers that bend. C-3PO sold separately.
Customer Review: Great fun building – get C3P0 so he has something to shoot
I had lots of fun building this one. It’s one of first 4 Star Wars Legos that came out(c3p0, r2d2, stormtrooper and darth vader). This one has over 200 pieces and due to the large number, each major part of the stormtrooper (head, arms, legs, etc) are each in their own bag. The book shows you which part you end up building and which bag to use.

There’s also scale diagrams of certain pieces so you don’t them mixed up (some pieces are similar but have different lengths). There are some extra pieces but only a select few. The ball and socket parts can be a little hard to put in. It’s not very durable but great to look at. The stormtrooper’s gun is activated by gears in the back on his right arm.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you have to get this..:-)
Customer Review: Go forth and BLAST!
Happy building! P.

This guy is supposed to go with the C3PO set, mainly so he has something to shoot!

The model is based on the Star Wars Storm Trooper and has been equipped with the Lego version of a Blaster Rifle. The mechanism to fire the weapon is a set of gears mounted on his back, which raises his arm slightly to aim, you then pull the trigger on his arm. I had to think about that, cos I modified mine a little so that he fires as he raises his arm! Talk about quick draw!

The droid.. Is he a droid? Well I’ll call him a droid! The droid itself is built from mainly Technic parts used in the other droids in the series but with a few extras, he has the new “Ball and socket” joints, which if you’ve seen my other reviews, I’m not too impressed with. The other joints used on the droid aren’t particularly strong or flexible either.

Unfortunately I think this one should sit out from the play area, like C3PO, he is too fragile and not flexible enough to play with. Stick him up on the shelf with your other droids and watch 3PO shake in his boots!

Happy Building! P

Lego Tusken Raider Encounter This compact 90-piece mini set features young Anakin Skywalker encountering two Tusken Raiders. Young LEGO builders must first assemble the one-seated speeder for the Jedi and the missile-looking tower that the Tuskens are trying to protect. Then the miniature figures, complete with weapons, can engage in battle and determine the fate of the universe. While full of creative play on its own, this LEGO set may be better served with larger ones for even more imaginative fun. –Pam Lauer
Customer Review: Great set for beginners
You can modify this set to many forms, which is why LEGO is so great.
Customer Review: Awesome Tusken Raider minifigs!
Tusken Raider Encounter is an awesome Lego set. I, as a really big Star Wars fan and having collected some other Ep.2 lego sets, had to get this set. You have an Anakin minifig that is neat, with a cape and his blue lighsaber. The Lego version of the swoop bike is terrific and closely resembles the original, plus a really cool colour scheme. The 2 Tusken Raider mini-figs may well be the best part of the set, with their detailed faces. Each also comes with a blaster/”rifle”. As a bonus, you also get a Tatooine moisture collector tower which, when you pull a hinged piece,opens up to reveal a nice little compartment with a couple of coloured computer controls and circuits.

This set is really good for collectors with any other Ep.2 sets or even Ep.4, A New Hope sets, such as the Landspeeder(even though I don’t have it.)The Episode II sets beat the Ep. 1 sets but neither can beat the original trilogy ones.

Altogether this is a nice addition to your Star Wars Lego collection, or just plain Lego collection. Buy this set while you can. May the Force be with you!
