NICE LANDSPEEDER!!!,
Nice Landspeeder!
Luke’s Landspeeder is a nice small size set that is a good build and great playability for kid’s or the AFoL recreating the famous Jedi-Mind Trick on the Stormtroopers in Mos Eisley plus excellent mini-figs!
PRO’s…
- Overall sleek, well designed speeder. Has the right feel, proportion and shape from the movie.
- Nice color scheme with tan and dark red accents throughout.
- Left engine detail ‘exposed’ like the one in the movie.
- Hidden trunk/compartment in rear. Lift the back engine to reveal a space for the lightsabers, etc.
- Brick built Sentry Droid has a nice simple/effective look and is attached to 2 clear cylinder pieces on a clear base simulating it’s floating.
MINI-FIGS are just excellent. Luke with new ‘wig’ and brush-metal lightsaber handle. Obi-Wan as well has a brush metal lightsaber handle. Stormtrooper with laser pistol, black shoulder paltron also has a neat backpack with grey lightsaber handles as containters (use the extra black stud on top of one of the saber handles and the extra antennae from the Sentry Droid on the other handle to give it a better look and disquise the saber handles better). Great looking C-3PO and R2-D2 figures. Note on the box cover photo, they list the Sentry Droid with the other mini-figs but it’s not a mini-fig but neat brick built droid.
CON’s…
- Luke’s hair seems a bit too long. Kinda’ like the one from the Star Wars DK book exclusive.
- For some strange reason, Obi-Wan doesn’t have a hood nor cape/cloak.
- Rear compartment too small for lightsabers. Need to take apart saber and handle to fit them properly.
- Bland looking cockpit.
- Sentry Droid NOT a mini-fig. A true min-fig must have a unique sculpt or print pattern.
- Another Stormtrooper mini-fig with orange shoulder paltron needed here.
Overall I recommend this set for the young Lego builder. It has neat figures and a wonderfully designed Luke’s Landspeeder. Slight mod’s here and there on the Landspeeders cockpit and perhaps add more room in the rear compartment can improve the kit but regardless, this a must get for any Star Wars fan and good selection of 5 min-figs! Get one now!

|The price gouging needs to stop!!!,
Fun toy and excellent collector’s piece. I cannot say enough good things about Lego, Lego Star Wars, and Lego bricks in general. Their toys are pricey, but they are durable and will last forever. BUT…this toy costs $24.99 at lego dot com and $24.97 at walmart dot com. Amazon needs to do something about the price jacking going on at Christmas.

|You’ll love Luke’s Landspeeder,
First the minifigures are cool and some are rare you don’t usualy see a sandtrooper with backpack and a sentry droid in stores ecxept in this set. Not much features but even though there were 3 diffent versions of Luke’s Landspeeder this ones the best.This is a Must-have set.
