Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Lego nerd and recent college grad here. This set is outstanding and is the perfect gift for anyone (including and especially yourself). I would absolutely recommend it for so many reasons. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Most people buying this set are doing it to get the four clone troopers. They absolutely live up to the hype. They are extremely meticulously detailed and it is the first time these popular figures have been produced in a pack like this. Their blue highlights contrast greatly with the white armor and I am particularly pleased that they have detailed printing on their feet and legs and the back of their torsos. They look great on my shelf. This is also the only set to include a Clone-jet trooper with blue markings (a very popular figure from the Clone Wars TV show. He has a blue jet pack (a piece exclusive to this set in this color) and looks good with or without the jetpack on. This variety also increases the ways I can play with him. All of the troopers feature the same head underneath the helmet, but it is new and looks very serious and accurate to the movies and tv show. The other vehicles continue the blue color scheme and also look great, though there are a few criticisms which I will discuss below. Cons: I generally like the speeder and the walker, but a few things I have noticed is that they are quite big in proportion to the figures, and look a bit awkward when displayed next to other sets released this year (though they look great when displayed on their own). I am also not a fan of the stickers which are annoying to apply and look a bit funky. Finally, though the two battle-droids are a nice edition to the set, I wish they had some more printing on them. I feel like they lack character and were kind of an add-on. Overall, though these are small downsides and I'd highly recommend this set if you are able to get it.
