LEGOStar Wars Republic Troopers vs Sith Troopers 75002

This is an amazing set at a bargain price of approx 12 dollars! Like everyone else mentioned, you get 4 GREAT mini figures plus the Sith Speeder with this set, that's packing a whole lot of fun into 1 little box. The Sith Speeder is easy to put together thanks to a perfectly illustrated, step by step, Lego instruction guide. Be sure to put the 2 stickers on the Speeder when instructed to b/c if you try to save that for last it will be difficult to do properly, and you'll probably end up disassembling the speeder to apply them.One thing I noticed in the set I received that differs from the 1st product review are the facial expressions of the figures. Of the 4 heads I received there were 2 different expressions: 2 were grimacing and 2 were smirking. This was fine with me b/c as soon as you put the helmets on you cannot see the faces anyway, and the helmets are awesome. Just thought I'd mention it. Lego included a few extra pieces too: an extra pistol weapon, an extra red triangular piece & an extra rocket.5 stars highly recommended

This is Old Republic pack is a great for expanding your collection. The detailing on the figures is where this set really shines. I really liked how there are two different colored Sith soldiers. They come with standard blasters, except the republic soldier gets one really big blaster that needs to be assembled. The faces on the figures are nothing special. Just some scowling or serious looks.The vehicle is very easy to assemble and has a couple of stickers to put on. I myself do not use stickers, but even plain jane, the vehicle looks great. One thing that really stuck out was the inclusion of a blaster holder on the side of the vehicle. It fits nicely and adds that neat little touch. The assembled blaster for the Republic soldier is the most difficult unit to work with. Why? The figures hand and arms have to be just right to hold it.Overall this is one sweet little battle pack and will fit in well with the Old Republic series, or any collection for that matter.

Great Price for a Great Product that was shipped SUPER-FAST a Big Thank you to the Vendor...I'll have to buy more there as my son really enjoys these tiny toys.The starwar variety alone is mind boggling almost endless.Like millions of children before him,.... my son has become smitten with the lego world, just like every boy before him since legos where createdLego blocks have been & always will be a superb play-toy for most children.of course they are way over priced, I mean come on,...when i was a kid $10 would buy a large can full of multiple bricks.They should also be outlawed for being to small, easily consumed by a small child.I almost hate to buy the things for the outrageous price.Im positive their not that expensive to produce, package, ship. Tons of these little pieces can be produced in 1 hour.FINAL ANSWER.......LEGO = GREED

This set contains two Republic troopers and two Sith troopers, each with a different head. The Sith troopers are the first of their kind to feature leg printing. Each of the troopers carries a different weapon (I believe that this is the first battle pack with this feature). The Republic trooper's chaingun is long overdue (from the Clone Wars). The Sith trooper's speeder is well designed with many details; it's flick-fire missiles seem to fit perfectly in place. I would have to say that this is my favorite battle pack from the past three years. Now, the Republic trooper from set 9497 will finally have a squad to command.

As with any lego set the only complaint I have is that it is such a small set for a big price. I guess that is just the way of the lego, specially star wars. But it was a present for my son's birthday and he apsolutely loves it. He said it made is star wars lego collection complete. I have 2 boys and so we've been buying legos for years now, not to mention that my husband has been a lego fan since the 80's when he was a boy. He's not to fond of how much more expensive legos are these days, but since there is nothing to be done about that. This was a great present for my 8 year old. My 6 year old probably wouldn't be able to put it together without my husband's help or my own. But my 8 year old can do it all on his own. Hope that is helpful to know to all you parents out there with different aged boys.

For the MSRP of $12.99, you get:1 black Sith trooper with a small rifle. It has the same build as the one from Fury Class (9500), except now with painted legs.1 red Sith trooper with a standard rifle. This one is exclusive to this set.2 Old Republic troopers, both exclusive to this set as well.The biggest shocker, something that LEGO has never done before, is that each of the 4 troopers comes with an unique facial expression!Understandably, traditional clone troopers from LEGO all look the same because they're all Jango Fett clones (exception being the new Cap Rex minifig), and since these guys are not clones, I was pleasantly surprised to see the extra effort to set them apart. This gives them each a personality and adds a lot to their playability, especially as action figures.The Sith speeder is your basic 42 piece accessory vehicle, with 2 missile flicking mechanisms on each side. It has a nice transparent vinyl sticker on the front, with a standing cockpit/platform on the rear.

First I want to say I was tempted to give it a lower score due to the fact this is a lot like the kits you would pay 3-5 bucks for when I was little except it has more minifigs. I felt that would be misleading, because I really enjoy the set itself and I would have to dock all LEGO products I review based on their increase in cost over the years. Bioware's "The Old Republic" universe does Star Wars better than George Lucas did, and it is nice seeing LEGO sets based off of it. The set itself is neat and so are the minifigs. For what it is, I give it 5 stars.
