LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship
From LEGO
Take the battle to the Separatists with this heavily armed troop transporter, as seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Features opening crew bay doors, flick missiles and separate speeder bike. Includes seven mini-figures: Four clone troopers, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and two new minifigures, Plo Koon and Asajj Ventress, a Sith Lord equipped with a new double lightsaber. 1,034 pieces.
When I got this, I was kind of nervous because I’d read other reviews that it was fairly fragile and just wouldn’t hold well together. Well BOY WAS I WRONG! This set is awesome, it’s a fun set and my parents have to keep me in a straightjacket (joke) to keep me from continuously building and playing! The overall gunship took me about 4 hours to build. The design was good, but you have to look over the instructions carefully. I’ve read that some people say the speeder bike in this is the best one that Lego® has come up with – that is 100% true. The thing that I didn’t like was that there were so many pieces that sometimes the pieces were hard to find – but that’s just the nature of kits like this! I’d recommend the Gunship for kids looking for a challenge, don’t give up easily and have the time to spend building it. To sum it all up, this was the best kit I’ve bought yet!

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Dropship
From LEGO
Send in the Imperial Dropship with its stormtrooper squad! Equipped with laser cannons and a detachable troop platform, this speedy space transport is ready to battle the Rebellion on any planet in the Empire. Includes three stormtroopers and a shadow stormtrooper pilot. Lift back up to drop the clone troop platform into battle. Imperial Dropship is 4″ long. 81 pieces.
My 5 y/o son is very crazy about Lego Star Wars. We’ve been aquiring several peices over some time. This is a set that is very small but comes with many imperial troops that it’s nice to have. Also the ship is so easy to build that my son could build it by himself. It’s a little fragile but it is so easy to rebuild (as long as you have the original intructional booklet) that my son builds them in 10~15 minutes. It’s a nice starting set for those boys who are in love with Star Wars.

We bought two of these, one for each of our boys (ages 3 and 5). They both enjoyed putting them together the first time but mostly appreciated the addition to the collection. The storm troopers are a favorite, as is the cockpit hood. For what you receive — and compared to the price of some other Lego kits — this is a bargain.

LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Fighter
From LEGO
Blasting out of the new Clone Wars TV series, it’s Anakin Skywalker’s customized Jedi starfighter! Fight the forces of the Separatists and the Dark Side with flick-firing missiles, retractable landing gear and an ejection button for R2-D2. Includes R2-D2 and new Anakin Skywalker minifigures. 153 pieces.
My son loves lego Star Wars sets. He doesn’t even break them apart because they look so good. He actually avoids Hasbro Star Wars toys because we had really bad experiences with those toys falling apart and being cheaply made. You can honestly depend on Lego to make kick butt toys well worth their money. Really happy with the purchase.

LEGO Star Wars Clone Walker Battle Pack
From LEGO
From the Manufacturer March into battle with the Clone Army. As the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy, the Republic army advances across the battlefields of hundreds of planets. Product Description March into battle with the Clone Army! As the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy, the Republic army advances across the battlefields of hundreds of planets. Build up your army with the Clone WalkerTM, a tough 2-man vehicle with poseable legs and flick-firing missiles! # Includes 2 Clone TroopersTM, Clone GunnerTM, Clone CommanderTM and ARC trooper gear! # Build your army and add #8015 Assassin DroidsTM Battle Pack for even more fun! # Measures over 3.5″ (8cm) tall! Ages 6+
This is a great product. My 8-year-old put it together immediately upon receipt and has been playing with it for weeks. My 3-year-old loves the storm troopers as well, but only after my oldest assembled them. The only drawback is that the legs will not stay on the Walker very well. Oh well, when they fall off, it becomes a land speeder.

This is probably the best Star Wars toy any kid could receive. I got this for my 11 year old and just kept asking and sending emails to everyone he knows.It is a wonderful toy I even asked toplay with it. You could remake star wars episode 4 and 6. we have a little vally in the sand in our back yard and he makes pretend that it is one of the things on the death star. Overall it is a well designed and study toy.

LEGO Star Wars: Naboo Swamp with Qui Gon Jinn, Jar Jar Binks & Battle Droid Mini Figures (7121)
From LEGO
Will Jar Jar lead Qui-Gon out of the slimy swamp? The Naboo swamps are filled with creatures, including Jar Jar Binks. Battle droids roam the swamps on STAP hovercrafts. Battle droid to close? Qui-Gon Jinn has his lightsaber to ward off attacks.
Qui-Gon Jinn first realizes that Jar Jar Binks is going to be a handful when the gangly amphibian practically knocks the Jedi master into a swamp puddle during the Trade Federation attack on the planet Naboo. This 81-piece set from LEGO lets you build everything you need to reenact that scene from Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace. (And no doubt Qui-Gon would appreciate it if you could keep him a little drier this time.) The Naboo Swamp set comes with mini figures of both the Gungan and the Jedi (with lightsaber), plus two long-snouted battle droids; the remaining pieces let you put together swamp vegetation and a couple of swooping STAP hovercraft units for the pair of droids to fly on. Of course, as always, you can recombine these pieces anyway you’d like. Maybe it’s even time that Jar Jar got his own ship
When i bought my lego with my mom i saw on the box the Jinster had on a brown cape. I opened my toy and could not find the stinkin’cape! But overall i loved the toy. Try pretending that the battle droids blow off Jinster’s head with their S.A.S.T.S. then replece the lightsaber in Jar’s hand and destroy the droids! I reccomend buying this toy. Oh yeah,don’t listen to the kids who dont like the toys’reviews!

LEGO Darth Vader Transformation Set
From Lego Education
The coming of Vader! Wounded in battle, Anakin Skywalker dons a suit of armor and is transformed into Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith! The origin of the galaxy’s greatest villain is captured in this exciting set. * Includes Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Medical Droid. Ages: 6+ Pieces: 53 Item#: 7251 Lego.
This is one of the more bizarre Lego collections you might come across. The set re-creates the scene at the end of Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, in which the newly incarnated Darth Vader–fresh off surgery–is raised forward and revealed, strapped to a Frankenstein-like chair. Here, the swiveling seat sits atop a platform, with a battered Anakin Skywalker on one side and Vader on the other. A five-armed, robotic surgeon stands nearby. The whole thing can be reassembled into a turret manned by the evil Sith Lord himself. The 53 pieces are all tiny; little Lego Darth is as cute as a button. An instruction booklet is included.
