LEGOStar Wars 75173 Luke's Landspeeder

the product is good package received earlier than stated no complaints and the speeder is built

This set is one of my favourite sets of all time it’s easy to assemble and good value you can find a different one of this set for more and It doesn’t have as many figures In my opinion it’s the best deal of it on Amazon

Its Lego so the quality is top rate, its Star Wars so if you like Star Wars it will look great and appeal to you. The best thing sis that compared to similar sized / complex vehicles its a) more sturdy for 5-8 year olds and b) a good bit better value for money than others that are £20-£30 instead.

The latest wave of Star Wars Lego has started to take a break from Rogue One, and seen the release of some sets from both the classic and prequel trilogies. For me, the biggest must-have on this list was Luke's landspeeder from A New Hope.The landspeeder is one of the smaller sized sets, and at around 150 pieces it's actually small even by these standards. This took me roughly 25 minutes to build, so even young Lego fans would be able to put this together in a short amount of time.The build is extremely straightforward; the landspeeder is such a basic model that there were no complicated steps, fiddly mechanisms or awkward pieces. For such a small set though it is quite sticker-heavy, which may put off some collectors and cause a slight struggle for particularly young builders.Once assembled it's certainly a nice looking model, but kids might be disappointed by the lack of interactive parts. The rear of the speeder can be easily removed to store Luke's magnoculars and Obi-Wan's lightsaber, but that's where the interactive features end. Obviously it's effectively just a car and didn't do much in the movie, but a better "hovering" mechanism might have been a nice touch. The Rogue One Hovertank does the job by featuring transparent wheels which allow for it to be rolled across flat surfaces, but the landspeeder simply has a scattering of domed pieces on the underside of the vehicle to lift it up slightly.The minifigure selection is fantastic, and my main reason for buying this set! For a small £20 set you're getting a great range. Obviously Luke's landspeeder wouldn't be complete without Luke himself, and for the first time in a while old "Ben" Obi-Wan Kenobi is available at a decent price. You also get C-3PO, a Tusken Raider, and a Womp Rat. If you're wondering what a Womp Rat is, cast your mind to the Rebel's attack plan: "I used to bulls-eye Womp Rats in my T-16 back home; they're not much bigger than 2 metres." So now you can have your very own Womp Rat for Luke to 'bulls-eye'. Lego do enjoy including a "bad guy" in with their sets, hence the Tusken Raider, but I can't help but think it would have been nicer to include R2-D2 instead, completing the group for their Mos-Eisley run.Altogether, a nice looking little model and wonderful minifigure selection, but I'd have to knock off a star for the lack of interactive parts, the very short build time, and the criminal lack of R2-D2.

This is a smaller Lego Star Wars kit that brings the original speeder from A New Hope to life, along with Luke, Old Ben and a Tusken Raider (plus womp art I think).This was great value , a decent part count for the money and looks lovely. Very happy with this one.

If you like lego and you like Star Wars, then you really can't go wrong with this. I think lego is generally fairly over-priced, and this is no exception, but there can be no doubting the quality. Easy for a young-ish child to build semi-unsupervised too.

Price was £58 when item should have only been no more than 30

Purchased from the amazon warehouse and box had damage but contents were unaffected and I really enjoyed building the set. In my opinion this version is much better than the others released.
