As the third LEGO Star Wars set ever to contain a Chewbacca minifigure, the LEGO 7127 Imperial AT-ST is part of the Classic sub theme and it was released in 2001. This set includes a total of 107 bricks and is recommended for ages 7 and up. In this set you are able to recreate a very important scene that took place in the midst of battle. Princess Leia and Han Solo are under the impression that no help will come for them. As they see the Imperial AT-ST approach they were even more convinced that they were done for. You can only imagine how happy they were when they saw that Chewbacca was steering the machine and he was coming to the rescue!

Because this set was released in 2001, about 10 years ago, the Chewbacca mini figure in this set is the out dated brown classic figure. In the newer sets you will notice that this particular figure looks more like the character in the movies and his color is reddish instead of a brown dull color. The Chewbacca figure comes with no weapons but the AT-ST comes with grey guns for protection.

This set is a classic and not just because it has one of the first Chewbacca figures ever to be released, but also because of the box that it comes in. The box is labeled with the very first star wars design to be released by LEGO. The very first design was a gold Star Wars logo with the comic versions of the LEGO mini figures of Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, A Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker. In between all of the figures are two light sabers, a red one and a blue one. Many collectors search for this set simply because the box and logo is so rare.

It is always very interesting to take a look back into some of the very first creations from LEGO. With the LEGO Star Wars Classic sub theme, we are able to do that. When you look back and notice how far LEGO has come with their creativity and skills, it will amaze you. Many collectors love to collect the older sets for that purpose alone, so they can sit back and admire the classics and compare them to the modern versions. LEGO is known for recreating their classic sets. The reason for this is to put a modern twist on a classic and also to give their collectors and fans more reason to keep these building blocks on their hobby list.

Part of the Classic Star Wars collection, this minifigure collectors pack was released in 2000. Included in this 20-piece set are the Chewbacca and two Scout Trooper minifigures, along with information cars and decorative stands. Each of the information cards tells a little about the character and on the back has different backdrops to represent different locations from the movie. In this case all the minifigures’ stands portray one of the picturesque scenes from Endor, which thankfully the second Death Star did not blow up. Lego Tourists can therefore go see these locations, provided they can afford faster-than-light travel. The stand and card make displaying each minifigure very classy and easy. The bases, however, do not work well with regular bricks.

The third of only four LEGO Star Wars minifigure packs released, this set contains the Episode VI: Return of the Jedi versions of Chewbacca and the Scout Troopers. Chewbacca is wearing his ammo belt and his hairy hide. As always, Wookiees aren’t too fond of clothing. Armed with his explosive bowcaster, this Wookiee is a force to be reckoned with. The Scout Troopers are wearing the cut down Stormtrooper armor that was used by the scouts. Their lighter and slimmer armor made it easier for them to move through varieties of terrain quickly and silently, its just too bad that they were never allowed to paint their armor anything other than Imperial White. Armed with blasters (a megaphone piece turned around with a red translucent piece on the end) These guys don’t actually have faces as well, a solid black head makes the open helmets look exactly as if it has a visor, so you can turn the helmets side to side without any problems. This feature was popular among the helmeted characters of the LEGO Star Wars series of that time.

Only four of these minifigure packs were released in 2000 as part of the Classic Star Wars collection. George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars series, decided that LEGO could not make any more of the individual minifigure sets. Based off the an extension of the contract with Lucasfilm for the rights to the LEGO Star Wars collection, there was never a reason given as to why this collection was shut down. A 20-piece set, it is not difficult to build at all. A rare set these days, this set would draw the envy of knowledgeable LEGO Star Wars collectors and other fans. This set, however, would not provide much in the way of entertainment or excitement for younger builders, as it is primarily a display set.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, really starts things moving for the Harry Potter series. Sirius Black has broken out of prison and everyone thinks he’s after Harry Potter, but is he? Sirius is really after Peter Pettigrew, the man who really betrayed Harry’s parents. Pettigrew, an Animagus, transformed himself into a rat and pretended to be the Weasleys’ pet for years. But after being cornered, Peter escaped again and the Ministry of Magic was able to recapture Black.

Locked high up in a tower in Hogwarts Castle, Black is about to meet a terrible fate: the Dementor’s Kiss. That Kiss would suck out his soul and reduce him to nothing. But will Harry allow that to happen to his innocent Godfather? This LEGO Harry Potter set allows you to recreate the rescue attempt made by Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. Using Hermione’s Time Turner, the pair go back in time to try to rescue Sirius and Buckbeak, who is also sentenced to death. Sadly, this set does not include Hermione Granger. But will Harry make it in time to save both of them or will two lives be lost tonight? Ever a popular series, the LEGO 4753 Sirius Black’s Escape set was released in 2004 to coincide with the release of the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. Containing the Hogwarts prison tower, three LEGO minifigures (Harry Potter, Sirius Black and a Dementor) and Buckbeak, this set has everything you need to save the day!

The tower is about seven inches (17.5 cm) tall and splits into two halves to reveal a second chamber. The halves are joined on one side by a set of hinges, allowing you to open up the tower to play inside. Inside the tower rests a box with keys for the door inside, as well as a potion bottle with a crystal stopper. The small cell at the top of the tower opens up to reveal a bench, drinking goblet and two torches.  The cell has only a wooden door, not the barred door from the movie, and the tower could stand to be a little taller, but other than that this is a nice replica of the movie tower.

The minifigures, like all those of the Harry Potter series, are quite detailed. The Dementor, a green skeleton with one leg to stand on, wears a black hood and cape to shroud its vile body. Sirius Black, still dressed in his Azkaban stripped prison robes, his hair long and shaggy. He does have a very determined look in his eyes and flesh colored skin. Harry Potter is wearing his school robes, complete with Gryffindor colored tie, sweater and black cape. He is also the only character in the set to have a wand, for blasting the lock off the cell door. The Buckbeak figure mates the typical horse body with the wings and the head of an eagle. There is enough space on the Hippogriff’s back for a single minifigure to ride, meaning that Harry will have to find his own way down the tower after Sirius flies off into the night. This is also one of only two sets that Buckbeak and Sirius Black appear in, making this set a must have for any LEGO Harry Potter fan!

At a respectable 189 pieces, this is neither a large nor a difficult LEGO Harry Potter set to construct. Recommended for builders age 7 to 12, this would be another good set to help build up younger builders’ confidence and introduce them to some of the more tricky brick usages. The instructions for LEGO 4753 Sirius Black’s Escape take things a little bit at a time, making the set accessible for younger builders. Will Harry be able to save his Godfather, or will Sirius have to face the dreaded Dementor? Only you can decide, so get this set and step into the magical world of Harry Potter!

Primarily used to transport people and cargo across hundreds of worlds, the Bantha II cargo skiff (also called the Desert Skiff) are known for the rugged dependability, their size and fuel efficiency, or maybe not because they use repulsorlifts to move. Criminal groups also used it, because of the retractable plank it offered and ability to convey people to their doom.

The Desert Skiff itself is a nice, roomy vehicle. Able to hold nine minifigures comfortably, this is a good vehicle for transporting people to a Rebel raid on an Imperial outpost or simply to drive down to the local marketplace. The driver sits in the back, the command hold mimicking the real driver’s seat, which has the driver standing behind the controls at the back of the skiff. These skiffs can also be modified to carry heavy laser cannons, though this skiff doesn’t come with one. The control vanes allow the pilot to determine how fast they want to go, and also serve to stabilize the craft while it flies along the landscape. Costing much less than flashy speeders or larger cargo trucks, the Bantha II skiffs were often seen on poorer and under-developed worlds.

This skiff matches the movie skiff exactly. The control vanes move exactly as in the movie to help stabilize the craft, the rail position and nose shape and the control station fit the skiff. Even the darker brown fits the movie skiffs, and leaving it on a dusty shelf for a few years will give it that sand covered look. The plank that Luke will be made to walk off even comes out on the side of the vehicle. However, the plank is not retractable and can only be moved with significant deconstruction to the vehicle.

Luke Skywalker is wearing the black jumpsuit that he walked into Jabba’s place with, though in the movie he didn’t have his lightsaber with him on the skiff. His brown hair styled in the classic desert windblown and has a smile on his face. Carrying his hand-built green lightsaber to replace the one he lost at Bespin, this Jedi is ready to take on Jabba the Hutt and his henchmen.

Han Solo, just over his hibernation sickness, has his sight back. Holding the vibro-pike he used to rescue Lando, the man is armed and dangerous. Wearing his stained spacer shirt and brown trousers, our hero is ready to go anywhere and do anything. The minifigures use the yellow skin tone, having been released before the changeover to flesh colored skin.

A 53 piece set, this is a smaller build, but that doesn’t mean its any less worth getting or has any less playability value. The set only includes the two minifigures and the skiff, but it fits well with any other land-based vehicles to make even better fights! Recommended for builders 6 to 10, this set is well within the reach of younger builders as it has very few moving parts. This set can also help build their confidence in their skills, making it well worth it.

Will Luke and Han be able to escape the Sarlacc at the Great Pit of Carkoon, or will they be caught in the explosion from the Hutt’s Sail Barge? Only you can decide, but may the Force be with you!

Racing through the blackness of space, starfighter pilots battled the odds to survive in the intense dogfights and turbolaser fire. Among the best of the fighters, A-Wings (also known as “Slims”) made Imperials think twice before engaging in combat. With the fastest fighter in the Rebel Alliance arsenal, A-wing jocks liked to remind everyone else that hey were the fastest things in space. An excellent fighter, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the LEGO Star Wars 7134 A-wing FighterA-Wing can be made to dance. Dancing around capital ships and other fighters, the only fighters that even had a chance at keeping up with it were the Tie Interceptors.

Based off the design of the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor (also known as the Jedi Interceptor), the A-Wing is little more than a cockpit with huge engines. And laser cannons, of course. These speedy little craft took a good deal of skill to handle; their speed meant that taking a hard turn might throw the craft into a deadly spin or crash into enemy ships. Built for rapid hit and fade attacks, these fighters could slag capital ship weapons and tear through squadrons of enemy starfighters before anyone knew what happened. However, their light shields and armor left them more vulnerable if anything did catch up to them. These fighters aren’t for cowardly LEGO pilots, but for men and women of all species that are willing to stand up for what is right and bring evildoers to justice.  The most famous A-wing pilot was Arvel Crynyd, the pilot who crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Executor during the Battle of Endor, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Rebel Alliance. Developed in 2000 for the Classic Star Wars collection, this set contains the A-Wing fighter, A-Wing pilot and Rebel Mechanic minifigures.

The pilot wears a green jumpsuit, not the traditional orange of the Rebel Alliance forces. Wearing a headset microphone and a good crash helmet, this guy is ready to take on Imperial forces. The Mechanic, dressed in tan overalls and wearing a matching ball cap, has the skill to fix any Rebel Alliance fighter. Using his wrench and a bit of elbow grease, putting LEGO fighters back together isn’t a problem.

The fighter is a little blockier than the sleek A-wing should be. The body of the fighter is not rounded at all, but made from ramp parts instead of being smooth or sleek. The wings around the engines are large and ungainly, but are consistent with the typical A-Wing fighter. The engines are huge, normal for the A-Wing fighter, and include large glowing blocks to indicate flaring engines. The landing gear is fixed, but does stabilize the craft when docked or being displayed. This craft also has a secret compartment right behind the pilot. This secret compartment can hold secret plans, equipment or anything else the A-Wing pilot needs to take along for the ride. The laser cannons on the sides are able to swivel almost 90 degrees, giving Imperial TIE pilots quite a nasty shock.

This blocky fighter is well built and can handle some pretty rough play. At 123 pieces, this set is no pushover. The LEGO Company recommends this set for builders age 7 to 12, and it should be within the building skill of any moderately skilled builders.

In the beginning, these craft were never manufactured in a factory, but were pieced together in mechanic garages across the galaxy. As a result, the A-Wings were shrouded in mystery and no two A-Wing fighters looked alike, even though they were all built from the same basic design. Because of all the secrecy, when the A-Wings were finally used in combat, they caught Imperial forces completely off guard! Fight off the Imperials and free the galaxy in the A-Wing fighter!

Ripping through the forests of Endor are the Imperial Scout Troopers. Known for their awesome driving skills and quick reaction time, these handpicked troopers act as the eyes and ears of any land-based army of the Imperial military. Easily flitting around the gigantic trees of the forest world, these scouts are on the lookout for any Rebel forces that might threaten the shield generator on the moon. The LEGO Star Wars 7128 Speeder Bikes set included two speeder bikes, and LEGO Star Wars minifigures  including two Scout Troopers, Luke Skywalker and a bit of Endor terrain.

Speeder Bikes, among the most useful vehicles, allow people to cover vast distances quickly. Though there are some faster and flasher speeders, the 74-Z Speeder Bike (also known as the Imperial speeder bike due to almost exclusive use by Imperial Scout Troopers) could go almost anywhere in the galaxy and support Imperial forces. These grey and brown Imperial issue speeders will get the job done, though they could be painted to match any terrain. The low slung blaster cannons allow the speeders to defend themselves or harass enemy installations, keeping their attention occupied long enough for other Imperial forces to get into position. The landing gear is moveable, allowing the speeder bikes to stand upright on their own or be more aerodynamic while flying through the air. The long control vanes that make up half the length of the speeder bike have been painstakingly recreated. Cutting off the Directional Steering Vanes at the front of the speeder would make it spin out and crash just like in the movie. Each speeder bike is equipped with a comlink jammer on the controls and also a pack full of survival equipment. These things would enable Scout Troopers to watch enemy movements for days or take out enemy scouts without alerting the enemy base.

The Scout troopers are in their standard issue armor. Almost exactly like the standard Stormtrooper armor, it has been scaled back a bit to allow the trooper to move more fluidly and silently. They helmets have also been redesigned to the more hood-like version that Scout Troopers wore. The troopers’ heads aren’t just black though, the yellow faces also include a visor, which looks realistic when the helmet is placed on correctly on their head. Luke, wearing his jungle infiltrator jumpsuit, blends in with the forest nicely, but will that be able to keep him from being seen? With a determined look on his yellow face and with blond hairpiece on his head, Luke looks ready to handle just about anything.

Luke has gotten cut off from the rest of Rebel group. All alone, he’s been surrounded by two Scout Troopers on their speeder bikes. While that might be enough to overwhelm even the most well-trained and well-armed elite solider, Luke isn’t an elite solider. He’s a Jedi Knight. Armed with only his lightsaber and hiding behind a small tree, he’ll have to think of a way to disable both speeder bikes. He’ll have to do it before the Scout Troopers can relay back to the Imperial base that Rebel troopers are on the moon…

Will he be able to do it in time, or the Rebel effort to wipe out the second Death Star doomed? Only you can decide, but may the Force be with you!

Introducing the LEGO 10220 Volkswagen Camper Van T1. This spectacular set includes a total of 1332 pieces and was made to show case the 1962 version of the original Camper Van. This enormous set is scheduled to be released October of 2011. The replica of the classic has a red and white exterior as well as the Volkswagen symbol on the front of the van. This model comes complete with Safari windows and a very detailed and unique pop top.

Stepping into the van is like stepping into a spectacular time machine. The interior has a beautiful black and white checkered floor and red and orange retro styled curtains. LEGO had a pretty hard time deciding which interior to use for this model, but in the end they decided on the original Westfalia interior that was used in so many Camper Vans. Many consumers that have seen this set, have raved that it is like stepping into their grandmothers home. Many are saying that it feels homey and comfortable. The Camper Van comes complete with a table, sink, and a bench seat that transforms into a bed.

There are several accessories that are included in this set that include the following: a yellow LEGO t-shit that reads “Make LEGO Models Not War”, a green wine glass that sits perfectly on the LEGO table, dishes that hang perfectly above the sink and also a lava lamp that is meant to compliment the 60′s. Another interesting detail that LEGO included, is a painting that hangs on the back wall of the van. The painting is of a surf board stuck in the sand with a sun set in the background. The most interesting part of this painting is that the designers initials are on the surf board itself.

When building this set, you will find that it is really quite challenging. The hardest part of the Van to build is said to be the front of it because there is so much detail and you can’t help but to want to get it just right. As you make your way around the model, you will notice that it has a lot of doors and windows. LEGO wanted to make this vehicle look and feel almost exactly like the original. There are 11 windows and the classic rear door that reveals a completed LEGO engine. The engine is another challenging part of this model because it can be pretty tough to get the engine in between those small wheels.

This model is very unique because it has so much history behind it and because it attracts LEGO builders of all ages. The reason for this is because the Volkswagen Camper Van T1 is one of the most loved and known vehicles of all time. When most people look at this vehicle they think of happiness which is why so many consumers are saying that this is one of the most “fun” sets that LEGO has accomplished.

Wow was my my first thought when my son and I first saw this set in the stores. I remember the old landspeeder set from the 1999 Lego range (7110 Landspeeder) but I never bought it. I always love the Episode 4-6 models so this kit is a must to have. But why is it double the price in Australia compared to the US (and our dollar is worth more the the US dollar)? US is fine (about AUD) but no, Lego Australia sells it for AUD (US)!!

Anyway back with the review of the Lego 8092 Luke’s Landspeeder kit. Inside the smallish box are three plastic bags of bricks, two loose tubes and an instruction booklet. I notice no sticker sheets – excellent, I wish Lego would stop the stickers and print the bricks instead. It says there are 163 pieces and I ended up with six spare.

Lego 8092 has six minifigures – well five normal ones and a little droid. This kit has the newer Star Wars minifigure faces. Lego, in their wisdom, has tried to add more expression the the minifig faces by adding a small white dot to their eyes. I don’t like it as it isn’t like the other minifigs and makes a little like anime style (the new Yoda is a good example).

Luke Skywalker and Old Ben Kenobi minifigures look much the same as other versions but have slight changes. The minifigs have more detail printed on them. Luke has slightly changed body that has a new design printed with a larger belt, his pants a little different as well. Luke also has long blonde hair compared to the older kit – doesn’t look bad at all. Ben looks to have more creases in his Jedi robes and has a belt. These two minifigures come with blue lightsabers.

C-3P0 and R2-D2 are in this set. The C-3P0 minifigure looks the same to me, no much if anything has changed. R2-D2 hasthe whole head printed and looks the part, it’s a pity the body has only the front part printed.

This kit come with one Imperial Sandtrooper. This is different to Stormtroopers by having a black cloth shoulder pauldron and a re-breather. This is only available in this set.
The other minifigure is just a few bricks put together to make a little sentry droid. Nice with the Sandtrooper but not a biggy.

Doing a search on minifigures the Luke, Ben and Sandtrooper are not available in any other set and the C-3P0 and R2-D2 are only available in large expensive sets, so that is pretty good I think.

Now onto the Landspeeder. This looks much better than the 1999 version of the Landspeeder . It is still the same colour scheme as the old model but has much more detail and is bigger. The flexible plastic pipe at the front of the craft, the curved windscreen, the opening boot are great. The boot fits the lightsabers but you have to pull them apart. The cockpit has room for Luke and Ben and at side of the centre engine is enough space to put the C-3P0 and R2-D2 Lego minifigures. The landspeeder has pieces on the bottom so it looks a bit like it’s floating (plus can be pushed around easier). The speeder is about 15cm long and 5cm wide.

All in all a great set except for the rip-off price from Lego Australia. But of course now it is an older set the set is getting up in price because it is rare and people are hunting for it.

Darth Vader gets a LEGO® flagship

The 10221 Super Star Destroyer™ Executor is the latest and longest LEGO Exclusive model to join the LEGO Star Wars™ fleet.

BILLUND, Denmark – One of the largest and most powerful vessels in the Star Wars™ universe has been created as a LEGO® Exclusive model. The Super Star Destroyer™ Executor served as command ship at the Battle of Endor and as the personal flagship of Darth Vader.

It is the first time that the classic dagger-shaped design has been produced as an official LEGO model.

“The thing I was trying to accomplish with this model was to get as close as possible to the original, both with angles and the whole profile of the model from the side,” says LEGO senior designer Kurt Kristiansen.

His biggest challenge with this model was the sheer size. It is the longest Star Wars model made in LEGO bricks, measuring 124.4 centimetres (50 inches). It consists of 3,152 elements and weighs 3.5kg (8 pounds).

“When I was first given this challenge, my first thought was ‘this is going to be a tough one’,” he said. He planned the model by dividing it into separate sections before beginning to build at all.

The build also posed a few problems, though: “When you are developing a model, if you change something at one end of, you have to change it all the way down to make it fit. That’s a challenge on something this big.

“I think Star Wars fans will love this model because it is the first time ever that the Super Star Destroyer has been made as an official model. The thing that makes this model authentic with the movies is the shape, but also the detail on the top. It is like a small city with streets and alleys.”

A section of the top of the model can be removed to show a representation of the command bridge where Darth Vader and the other minifigures can be displayed. The model includes four minifigures: Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Dengar, Bossk and an extra figure, IG-88.

The Super Star Destroyer is on sale from September 1, 2011.

The Lego Star Wars 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge is a set based from the Return of the Jedi movie. The Khetanna was the large sail barge owned by crime baddie Jabba the Hutt.

We bought this set a while back, I think about 2007, at a department store and what a great set it is. This was a set that my young son instantly fell in love with and so did I – straight away I thought of the great scene in the movie where Jabba the Hutt gave the orders to have Luke Skywalker thrown into the Pit of Carkoon. Apart from the great Sail Barge it has a very good Desert Skiff vehicle and a cool Sarlac Pit to complete the look plus a large number of Lego minifigures.

The set has 781 pieces and a great lot of 8 Lego minifigures. I will start with the minifigures – you get Jabba the Hut, R2-D2 as a butler, the classic Boba Fett (no arm or leg printing like the Cloud City version), Han Solo, Princess Leia in the metal bikini (she has a stud on the back to attach the chain that Jabba has to stop her escaping from him), a typical Gamorrean Guard, Lando Calrissian wearing his undercover guard outfit and Luke Skywalker as a Jedi all in black.

One thing you will notice with Jabba’s Sail Barge is that there is a lot of brown Lego bricks (I remember calling them blocks when I was young) but that doesn’t detract from the look, it makes it more realistic to the Star Wars movie, it is meant to be timber remember. It is a big Lego set without the big price tag of some of the larger sets. You can also make two other models with the parts – turns it into more of movie scene.

The Desert Skiff is simple to build looks good with the plank out ready for prisoners to be dropped into the Sarlac. You have a good number of minifigs needed to make some good fun acting out scenes from the Return of the Jedi movie.

The Sarlac Pit does look pretty good although, maybe, a little bigger. The mouth does look a bit like the mouth of the Sarlac, full of teeth and designed so a minifig can fit in. Maybe a couple of its tentacles would have been nice.

This Star Wars Lego set is fun to play with but you do need to be careful with the sails – they come off just a bit too easy. The windows open up to give you little peeks inside just like in the movie but the big door sides that open are great letting you see and play with all the bits inside the Star Wars Jabbas Sail Barge. There is plenty of space inside to have Jabba and Leia Lego minifigures along with other bits and pieces like the spider and guns and a cool R2D2 minifig running around serving drinks.
