LEGO Star Wars Snowspeeder

Pros: Educational, fun
Cons: Missing pieces

Lego rules at our house. I don't know how many kits my sons have because I often buy big boxes of parts at garage sales. This is a toy that holds their attention for hours.

Two weeks ago, when I knew we would face some very...

Pros: Very well built.
Cons: Ground effects.

Arguably one of the better Star Wars LEGO sets yet, the snowspeeder is as close to the actual toy as you can get without buying straight from Kenner. The only difference from the actual snowspeeder and the LEGO version is the cockpit design. Under one...

Pros: Extremely well engineered kit, Solid Construction
Cons: Some liberties taken with design, Rear gun could be better

Let me preface this epinion with this statement, I've always loved Star Wars and I've always loved LEGOs! They are a perfect match. Why the LEGO Group has waited so long to secure a Lucasfilm license is beyond me, but I'm certainly glad that they have...

Pros: A sturdy and durable toy.
Cons: No Princess Leia, Drool Drool!

Aaaah, yes once again we are in the broth (soup) on Hoth, doth noth (OOPS my lisp is acting up again!) Some cold Bavarian Knockwurst topped off with a roll in my Mutti's poison ivy patch should cure that!

Well now for the Snowspeeder! A great...

Pros: Enjoyable to do.
Cons: None.

This is Rote 2 calling Echo Base.Oh,hi.Do not mind me I am just having loads and loads of fun with my new snowspeeder.Well it is lego of course.This is one of the most realistic lego products on the market.It comes with two guys,a pilot and a ground...

Pros: Accuracy and playability
Cons: Where's the Wampa?

If you like "The Empire Strikes Back" or any of the other star wars movies, this set is an essential! The accuracy is flawless! The set includes Luke Skywalker, Dack, and a hoth rebel soldier! By the way, this is THE first Dack figure...

Pros: Great looking vehicle, Dack figure
Cons: None

The LEGO Star Wars Snowspeeder is my favorite LEGO set from the Star Wars universe. The snowspeeder is almost an exact replica of what was shown in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. And what more could you possibly want ...

Pros: Excellent interpretation with a minimum of custom pieces. Twin pilot figs of interest to army-builders.
Cons: Canopy doesn't look right, comes off easily. Tow-line mechanism is awkward, hurts overall appearance.

Hot on the heels of the massive Snow Walker set (maybe next paycheck) comes the rebel Snowspeeder. It's a smart-looking model bearing a strong resemblance to its movie counterpart, especially from the front and top-- the rear flaps even flip up! Assembly ...

Pros: Nice design, a better set than I expected
Cons: Getting it away from my son so I can play with it.

I just purchased the Lego snowspeeder set for my 7 year old son who has just discovered the wonder of Star Wars. The set was originally priced at $29.99 at Kaybee toys. I was hesitant to spend that much on a small set (even knowing the price of ...

Pros: Realistic, lots of pieces for value
Cons: none

I purchased this toy for my son, and here is what he tells me about it.

"This set looks very similar to the real snowspeeder. It has a lot of pieces for a smaller set, and some of the pieces are custom. It comes with three characters,...

Pros: Good parts, sturdy, playable
Cons: No Imperial Walkers or SnowTroopers to go with it. ;-)

I am a Star Wars Lego collector, and this set is second only to the X-Wing in the quality and number of those good, grey parts that the Star Wars Lego builder wants. It has two big, grey wings, four hinge parts, and a new windshield part, etc. When...

Pros: Lovely design. Great as a Lego toy, and as a Star Wars toy!
Cons: None really.

This was always a very nice vehicle, and Lego have done it really well. The model contains lots of 'traditional' Lego parts -- well they're not all specially-invented ones anyway -- and that's good because it always seems like they've 'cheated' if they...

Pros: 3 figures, Hard 2 Find pieces, cool canopies, great idea
Cons: falls apart rather easily, packaging is faulty---}a few parts were missing

3 minifigures! Wow they total about $8 if you try to sell them. Plus you get the hard to find, Star Wars only pieces that are tan and some of the cool gun type pieces. You also get some good hinges and turntables with it. I think that you could get a lot...

Pros: Very life like.
Cons: It was only in Empire Strikes Back

This is a brillantly made recreation of the Snowspeeder used by Luke Skywalker, Dack, Wedge Antilles, Wes Janson, and "Hobbie" Klivan.The snowspeeder is an airspeeder modified to be used in cold weather. It (like other air speeders) is powered...
