LEGO gives out free magazines, but if you paid for Brickmaster, not only did you get extra pages, you also got a set along with it. This company is absolutely crazy, but I love it. Their mini models for Star Wars were all great.
I'm not the biggest fan of Star Wars, and I only bought a Star Wars set other than a polybag once; to qualify for a TRU GWP back when I was a TFOL (chrome Stormtrooper). But, I will often buy the Microscale polybags when I see them. I feel some of LEGO's best designs are in small scale sets; but not City for the most part. I feel Creator and Star Wars has the best designs in these $4 sets.
I was thinking this was comparably scaled to the larger microscale sets from 03-04, but comparing it to 4490 shows that it's a little smaller and not nearly as good.
Not a bad Gunship for the size. Could really work for a LEGO miniature war game.
Aaaargh! It's too early in the morning for a bleary-eyed me NOT to mistake this for a UCS announcement.
I like the details for the size
Brickmaster was basically a loot box. Before loot boxes were well known. Thus as a kid back in the day I didn't get Brickmaster, literally or figuratively.
Considering the size and piece count, to me this looks really good.
I did not know that one. Excellent design the scale. Any news from the highly expected UCS ?

Yeah,look at it like this,that means that the news about UCS is coming :)
Aww it’s adorable. Would love to see this next the UCS version that’s due at some point
The hinge holding the plates for the cockpit on the sloping roof brick is clever.
The best mini Gunship
Got a great deal on this one off eBay primarily for the LBG antennae to replace one I was missing from 10179 a few years before that part color went back into production again. At the time it would have cost me the same for TWO of those parts for what I paid for this whole set (and it even includes an extra!)
