Wookiee Attack

Cool...ish

Posted by Carl in New Zealand on 03 November 2009

OK. The Wookiee flyer is awesome so I won't go into it anymore. But the tank droid is orange and it sucks.

The dwarf spider droid is blue so that sucks too and the droids are cool.

The wookiees are cool.

I give this set a 3/5.

2005 Has the Best Lego Sets

Posted by LegoStarwarsKing56711 in United States on 02 July 2009

I did put this review on the other wookie attack on accident but ill repeat what i said(forgive me if i miss parts). This set is one of my favorite and i play with it to this day. I do like the tank driod and spider droid because the ones present day (2009) are horrible and do not match up to this set. I like the color scheme to the droids. The wookie craft is not my favorite but i like the minifigs. all in all i give it 4/5.

The first Tank Droid

Posted by Johnnus in Australia on 29 June 2009

As I said in the title, this is the first tank droid Lego made.
If you hate long reviews, skip to the bottom.

The tank droid is made up of a base section with other parts attached to it as the instructions continue. The front section actually conceals a battle droid seat for a pilot. The treads are very boring to make, because there are lots of them.The wedge-shaped section is quite sturdy and is connected to the bottom with a 1X2 brick with a single stud on top. Occasionally, I find that the rear wheels fall off because they are not connected in a particularly sturdy way.

Overall, I like the tank droid because it is the first Lego have built and the construction is generally solid, but the playability score is damaged by the rear wheels and the fact that the treads sometimes jam.

The Dwarf Spider Droid is also a first for lego, even though it appeared in Ep II as well. The leg section is sturdy but unsettling (for me) because it is not symetrical and (in my opinion) not as good as the new one. The eyees are held on in a simple way but it is sturdy.

Unfortunately, even though it is quite a good addition to your collection, I do not like it because of what lego has done to make the legs point in four directions. what may look like a main part of the hull at the back is actually hinged and creates something like wings.

The Wookie Flyer is quite interesting in the way it is built and is surprisingly sturdy. The rear cannon is simple but effective, but tends to fall off in rough play. One thing I would definetely complain about is the use of antennae in the set. There are 11 of them! Eight of these are on the Flyer itself acting as what looks like helicopter blades. This is really annoying because they constantly fall off and are annoying to put back on.

This part of the set was ruined by the use of antennae as helicopter blade-like things. If not for the antennae, it would have been a much better part of the set.

There is nothing to say about the battle droids. There are two, but they do not use the new arm piece and still hold backwards megaphones as guns.

Pros:
Tank is sturdy
Tank & Spider Droid are a first
Wookie flyer is quite good(in terms of construction, space and sturdiness)
Battle Droids

Cons:
Treads tend to jam
rear wheels tend to come off
legs are supported in an unsymetrical and unsettling way
ANTENNAE! Never use too many unless they are well supported

Overall, a good army builder set but the details drop the fifth point.

pretty good...

Posted by ghostfreak919 in Canada on 17 May 2009

overall, this is a great set. as always, the tracks are too easy to lose.
the reason i give it 4/5 is because of the wookie plane thing. a little too iffy.
the top is too bulky and gun placement wasnt that great.
if you see this set in a store (which i doubt because it is rather old) get straight away.

The best in my memory

Posted by jjr in Netherlands on 18 January 2009

I know it like it was yesterday when I saw some blurry pics of the prototype set, and I really thought wow I want that tank! and after trying to build it myself (wich didn't work) I was waiting months before it was on the online shop and I immediatly decided to order it. I was so happy when it came

I started with the spider droid, it was nice for that time but the new one is much better. after that the tank, the main feature in the set. looked like a really cool tank, and yes it had some flaws but wich set don't? the wookie thing was for me just not much, but the two wookies are a nice addition

overal I think it's a really good set for that time. but if I look to other sets these days, I really think those are much better, and especially the new upcoming corporate alliance tank droid
