When browsing through the records of LEGO builds, there are a few Star Wars sets that jump off the page. The LEGO 10221 Super Star Destroyer, 10188 Death Star and 10212 Imperial Shuttle are among the most amazing sets ever created. But how do you pick the best set out of these three? Is it even possible?

At 124.4 cm (50 inches) long, the 10221 Super Star Destroyer is the longest LEGO Star Wars set ever created. The Super Star Destroyer, most feared of all naval warships has been recreated in exquisite and painstaking detail. The sleek design, flowing lines and massive engines, will actually make you wish that you could be standing in the massive ship as you behold it; the set also includes a micro-mini Imperial Star Destroyer to show the incredible size difference. Featuring five mini figures and a fully functional bridge, you can reenact your favorite scenes from the Empire Strikes Back. Admiral Piett is exclusive to this set, while Dengar has been redesigned with extra detail just for this set. Bossk and IG-88 are primarily the same from their original designs, but Darth Vader includes pupil eyes under the normal dark helmet in this latest variation. The bridge includes a walkway and crew pit with technical monitors and even an Emperor Palpatine hologram, but the set is primarily for display, not rough play. Including two solid stands to hold it up and an information card, this 3152 piece, 3.5 kg (nearly 8 pounds) set is great for experienced builders who want an awesome challenge, but will severely frustrate any one else.

The opposite of the 10221 Super Star Destroyer, the 10188 Death Star is a large set designed to be played with. At 41 cm tall and 42 in diameter, this huge reproduction of the Emperor’s world killer allows you to recreate all the intense and action packed scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope. This set enables you to play through the Conference chamber, Control room, Detention Block, Trash compactor, Turbolift chasm, Tractor beam generator room, Emperor’s throne room, droid maintenance room, Hanger bay with a mini version of Darth Vader’s personal TIE fighter, Crane room, Defensive turret controls, Armory with Missile launcher, and the Super Weapon Control room itself, all built with incredible attention to detail. This is not a display type model, this is a serious play set designed to include the maximum number of minifigures (Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper outfit, Han Solo inStormtrooper outfit, Assassin Droid, Interrogation Droid, Death Star Droid and 2 Death Star Troopers. Also includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker as a Jedi Knight, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Emperor Palpatine, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Emperor's Royal Guards, R2-Q5 and mouse droid!) and environments to play in, perfect for younger builders and Star Wars enthusiasts. Built in a circular fashion with 3803 pieces, this set is not one that younger builders should attempt on their own, even though they would highly enjoy playing with the set.

The 10212 Imperial Shuttle is the only way for Imperial VIPs to travel. The tri-winged Lambda-class shuttle strikes fear into the hearts of people everywhere, because you never know who is going to step off that ramp. Coming straight from Endor on its way to the second Death Star, this shuttle carries Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper escort, Imperial officer and shuttle pilot. Most of the minifigures will fit into the cockpit, allowing you to shuttle them back and forth to different parts of the galaxy. Equipped with landing gear and a display stand with informational card, this is definitely a display set. With an exquisite attention to detail, gears to actually fold the wings down or hold them up, this is a solidly built ship, but it is not really designed for rough play. Standing 28 inches (71 cm) tall on the stand and 22 inches (57 cm) wide with wings deployed, this massive ship contains 2503 pieces and will frustrate any but the most experienced builders (recommended for ages 16 and up). All of these massive builds are amazing recreations of the classic ships from the movies and are perfect for every Star Wars fan. They can be very difficult to build, but are also very rewarding to display and play with.

A Review On The Biggest and Baddest LEGO Star Wars Builds Around is a post from: Rare LEGOs

Racing through the blackness of space, starfighter pilots battled the odds to survive in the intense dogfights and turbolaser fire. Among the best of the fighters, A-Wings (also known as “Slims”) made Imperials think twice before engaging in combat. With the fastest fighter in the Rebel Alliance arsenal, A-wing jocks liked to remind everyone else that hey were the fastest things in space. An excellent fighter, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the LEGO Star Wars 7134 A-wing FighterA-Wing can be made to dance. Dancing around capital ships and other fighters, the only fighters that even had a chance at keeping up with it were the Tie Interceptors.

Based off the design of the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor (also known as the Jedi Interceptor), the A-Wing is little more than a cockpit with huge engines. And laser cannons, of course. These speedy little craft took a good deal of skill to handle; their speed meant that taking a hard turn might throw the craft into a deadly spin or crash into enemy ships. Built for rapid hit and fade attacks, these fighters could slag capital ship weapons and tear through squadrons of enemy starfighters before anyone knew what happened. However, their light shields and armor left them more vulnerable if anything did catch up to them. These fighters aren’t for cowardly LEGO pilots, but for men and women of all species that are willing to stand up for what is right and bring evildoers to justice.  The most famous A-wing pilot was Arvel Crynyd, the pilot who crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Executor during the Battle of Endor, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Rebel Alliance. Developed in 2000 for the Classic Star Wars collection, this set contains the A-Wing fighter, A-Wing pilot and Rebel Mechanic minifigures.

The pilot wears a green jumpsuit, not the traditional orange of the Rebel Alliance forces. Wearing a headset microphone and a good crash helmet, this guy is ready to take on Imperial forces. The Mechanic, dressed in tan overalls and wearing a matching ball cap, has the skill to fix any Rebel Alliance fighter. Using his wrench and a bit of elbow grease, putting LEGO fighters back together isn’t a problem.

The fighter is a little blockier than the sleek A-wing should be. The body of the fighter is not rounded at all, but made from ramp parts instead of being smooth or sleek. The wings around the engines are large and ungainly, but are consistent with the typical A-Wing fighter. The engines are huge, normal for the A-Wing fighter, and include large glowing blocks to indicate flaring engines. The landing gear is fixed, but does stabilize the craft when docked or being displayed. This craft also has a secret compartment right behind the pilot. This secret compartment can hold secret plans, equipment or anything else the A-Wing pilot needs to take along for the ride. The laser cannons on the sides are able to swivel almost 90 degrees, giving Imperial TIE pilots quite a nasty shock.

This blocky fighter is well built and can handle some pretty rough play. At 123 pieces, this set is no pushover. The LEGO Company recommends this set for builders age 7 to 12, and it should be within the building skill of any moderately skilled builders.

In the beginning, these craft were never manufactured in a factory, but were pieced together in mechanic garages across the galaxy. As a result, the A-Wings were shrouded in mystery and no two A-Wing fighters looked alike, even though they were all built from the same basic design. Because of all the secrecy, when the A-Wings were finally used in combat, they caught Imperial forces completely off guard! Fight off the Imperials and free the galaxy in the A-Wing fighter!

Man your battle stations! Here comes the 7134 A-wing Fighter! is a post from: Rare LEGOs

Primarily used to transport people and cargo across hundreds of worlds, the Bantha II cargo skiff (also called the Desert Skiff) are known for the rugged dependability, their size and fuel efficiency, or maybe not because they use repulsorlifts to move. Criminal groups also used it, because of the retractable plank it offered and ability to convey people to their doom.

The Desert Skiff itself is a nice, roomy vehicle. Able to hold nine minifigures comfortably, this is a good vehicle for transporting people to a Rebel raid on an Imperial outpost or simply to drive down to the local marketplace. The driver sits in the back, the command hold mimicking the real driver’s seat, which has the driver standing behind the controls at the back of the skiff. These skiffs can also be modified to carry heavy laser cannons, though this skiff doesn’t come with one. The control vanes allow the pilot to determine how fast they want to go, and also serve to stabilize the craft while it flies along the landscape. Costing much less than flashy speeders or larger cargo trucks, the Bantha II skiffs were often seen on poorer and under-developed worlds.

This skiff matches the movie skiff exactly. The control vanes move exactly as in the movie to help stabilize the craft, the rail position and nose shape and the control station fit the skiff. Even the darker brown fits the movie skiffs, and leaving it on a dusty shelf for a few years will give it that sand covered look. The plank that Luke will be made to walk off even comes out on the side of the vehicle. However, the plank is not retractable and can only be moved with significant deconstruction to the vehicle.

Luke Skywalker is wearing the black jumpsuit that he walked into Jabba’s place with, though in the movie he didn’t have his lightsaber with him on the skiff. His brown hair styled in the classic desert windblown and has a smile on his face. Carrying his hand-built green lightsaber to replace the one he lost at Bespin, this Jedi is ready to take on Jabba the Hutt and his henchmen.

Han Solo, just over his hibernation sickness, has his sight back. Holding the vibro-pike he used to rescue Lando, the man is armed and dangerous. Wearing his stained spacer shirt and brown trousers, our hero is ready to go anywhere and do anything. The minifigures use the yellow skin tone, having been released before the changeover to flesh colored skin.

A 53 piece set, this is a smaller build, but that doesn’t mean its any less worth getting or has any less playability value. The set only includes the two minifigures and the skiff, but it fits well with any other land-based vehicles to make even better fights! Recommended for builders 6 to 10, this set is well within the reach of younger builders as it has very few moving parts. This set can also help build their confidence in their skills, making it well worth it.

Will Luke and Han be able to escape the Sarlacc at the Great Pit of Carkoon, or will they be caught in the explosion from the Hutt’s Sail Barge? Only you can decide, but may the Force be with you!

Part of the Classic Star Wars collection, this minifigure collectors pack was released in 2000. Included in this 20-piece set are the Chewbacca and two Scout Trooper minifigures, along with information cars and decorative stands. Each of the information cards tells a little about the character and on the back has different backdrops to represent different locations from the movie. In this case all the minifigures’ stands portray one of the picturesque scenes from Endor, which thankfully the second Death Star did not blow up. Lego Tourists can therefore go see these locations, provided they can afford faster-than-light travel. The stand and card make displaying each minifigure very classy and easy. The bases, however, do not work well with regular bricks.

The third of only four LEGO Star Wars minifigure packs released, this set contains the Episode VI: Return of the Jedi versions of Chewbacca and the Scout Troopers. Chewbacca is wearing his ammo belt and his hairy hide. As always, Wookiees aren’t too fond of clothing. Armed with his explosive bowcaster, this Wookiee is a force to be reckoned with. The Scout Troopers are wearing the cut down Stormtrooper armor that was used by the scouts. Their lighter and slimmer armor made it easier for them to move through varieties of terrain quickly and silently, its just too bad that they were never allowed to paint their armor anything other than Imperial White. Armed with blasters (a megaphone piece turned around with a red translucent piece on the end) These guys don’t actually have faces as well, a solid black head makes the open helmets look exactly as if it has a visor, so you can turn the helmets side to side without any problems. This feature was popular among the helmeted characters of the LEGO Star Wars series of that time.

Only four of these minifigure packs were released in 2000 as part of the Classic Star Wars collection. George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars series, decided that LEGO could not make any more of the individual minifigure sets. Based off the an extension of the contract with Lucasfilm for the rights to the LEGO Star Wars collection, there was never a reason given as to why this collection was shut down. A 20-piece set, it is not difficult to build at all. A rare set these days, this set would draw the envy of knowledgeable LEGO Star Wars collectors and other fans. This set, however, would not provide much in the way of entertainment or excitement for younger builders, as it is primarily a display set.

Where will you see Chewbacca and Imperial Scout troopers together? Only in Star Wars #3 3342
 is a post from: Rare LEGOs

Ripping through the forests of Endor are the Imperial Scout Troopers. Known for their awesome driving skills and quick reaction time, these handpicked troopers act as the eyes and ears of any land-based army of the Imperial military. Easily flitting around the gigantic trees of the forest world, these scouts are on the lookout for any Rebel forces that might threaten the shield generator on the moon. The LEGO Star Wars 7128 Speeder Bikes set included two speeder bikes, and LEGO Star Wars minifigures  including two Scout Troopers, Luke Skywalker and a bit of Endor terrain.

Speeder Bikes, among the most useful vehicles, allow people to cover vast distances quickly. Though there are some faster and flasher speeders, the 74-Z Speeder Bike (also known as the Imperial speeder bike due to almost exclusive use by Imperial Scout Troopers) could go almost anywhere in the galaxy and support Imperial forces. These grey and brown Imperial issue speeders will get the job done, though they could be painted to match any terrain. The low slung blaster cannons allow the speeders to defend themselves or harass enemy installations, keeping their attention occupied long enough for other Imperial forces to get into position. The landing gear is moveable, allowing the speeder bikes to stand upright on their own or be more aerodynamic while flying through the air. The long control vanes that make up half the length of the speeder bike have been painstakingly recreated. Cutting off the Directional Steering Vanes at the front of the speeder would make it spin out and crash just like in the movie. Each speeder bike is equipped with a comlink jammer on the controls and also a pack full of survival equipment. These things would enable Scout Troopers to watch enemy movements for days or take out enemy scouts without alerting the enemy base.

The Scout troopers are in their standard issue armor. Almost exactly like the standard Stormtrooper armor, it has been scaled back a bit to allow the trooper to move more fluidly and silently. They helmets have also been redesigned to the more hood-like version that Scout Troopers wore. The troopers’ heads aren’t just black though, the yellow faces also include a visor, which looks realistic when the helmet is placed on correctly on their head. Luke, wearing his jungle infiltrator jumpsuit, blends in with the forest nicely, but will that be able to keep him from being seen? With a determined look on his yellow face and with blond hairpiece on his head, Luke looks ready to handle just about anything.

Luke has gotten cut off from the rest of Rebel group. All alone, he’s been surrounded by two Scout Troopers on their speeder bikes. While that might be enough to overwhelm even the most well-trained and well-armed elite solider, Luke isn’t an elite solider. He’s a Jedi Knight. Armed with only his lightsaber and hiding behind a small tree, he’ll have to think of a way to disable both speeder bikes. He’ll have to do it before the Scout Troopers can relay back to the Imperial base that Rebel troopers are on the moon…

Will he be able to do it in time, or the Rebel effort to wipe out the second Death Star doomed? Only you can decide, but may the Force be with you!

As the third LEGO Star Wars set ever to contain a Chewbacca minifigure, the LEGO 7127 Imperial AT-ST is part of the Classic sub theme and it was released in 2001. This set includes a total of 107 bricks and is recommended for ages 7 and up. In this set you are able to recreate a very important scene that took place in the midst of battle. Princess Leia and Han Solo are under the impression that no help will come for them. As they see the Imperial AT-ST approach they were even more convinced that they were done for. You can only imagine how happy they were when they saw that Chewbacca was steering the machine and he was coming to the rescue!

Because this set was released in 2001, about 10 years ago, the Chewbacca mini figure in this set is the out dated brown classic figure. In the newer sets you will notice that this particular figure looks more like the character in the movies and his color is reddish instead of a brown dull color. The Chewbacca figure comes with no weapons but the AT-ST comes with grey guns for protection.

This set is a classic and not just because it has one of the first Chewbacca figures ever to be released, but also because of the box that it comes in. The box is labeled with the very first star wars design to be released by LEGO. The very first design was a gold Star Wars logo with the comic versions of the LEGO mini figures of Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, A Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker. In between all of the figures are two light sabers, a red one and a blue one. Many collectors search for this set simply because the box and logo is so rare.

It is always very interesting to take a look back into some of the very first creations from LEGO. With the LEGO Star Wars Classic sub theme, we are able to do that. When you look back and notice how far LEGO has come with their creativity and skills, it will amaze you. Many collectors love to collect the older sets for that purpose alone, so they can sit back and admire the classics and compare them to the modern versions. LEGO is known for recreating their classic sets. The reason for this is to put a modern twist on a classic and also to give their collectors and fans more reason to keep these building blocks on their hobby list.

Part of the Classic LEGO Star Wars collection, the LEGO #2 3341 minifigure collectors pack was released in 2000. Included in this 20-piece set are the Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Boba Fett minifigures, along with information cars and decorative stands. Each of the information cards tells a little about the character and on the back has different backdrops to represent different locations from the movie. The stand and card make displaying each minifigure very classy and easy. The bases, however, do not work well with regular bricks.

The second of only four LEGO Star Wars minifigure packs released, this set contains the Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Boba Fett. Han Solo is wearing his brown trousers with the holster pattern. He is also dressed in his stained shirt and spacer’s jacket. His brown hair and smirk make the minifigure a perfect match for the character of Han Solo. Han, however, is not armed.

Luke Skywalker’s minifigure is dressed in the garb that he walked into Jabba’s Palace with. The black jumpsuit, black hood and cloak are all straight out of the movie. The minifigure does not have any hair because of the hood. Armed with his green lightsaber (the second he built), he looks ready to jump in and save the day. Having been designed and released in 2000, these minifigures bear the yellow skin tone of the older minifigures.

The bounty hunter Boba Fett’s minifigure wears the traditional armor of the Mandalorian warriors, though his is painted in greens and grays. Wearing gray gloves, a brown belt and gray pants, rounded off with a helmet piece that also includes the jet pack and back mounted rocket launcher, this minifigure is a good reproduction of the Boba Fett character. The minifigure does not have a face, but instead has a solid black head, to make it look like the helmet has a black visor. Armed with his blaster (a megaphone piece turned around) and back mounted rocket launcher, its no wonder he is the best bounty hunter in the universe.

Only four of the LEGO mini figures packs were released in 2000 as part of the Classic Star Wars collection. George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars series, decided that LEGO could not make any more of the individual minifigure sets. Based off the an extension of the contract with Lucasfilm for the rights to the LEGO Star Wars collection, there was never a reason given as to why this collection was shut down.

Luke, Han and Boba Fett? It Must Be Star Wars #2 3341
 Minifigure Collection is a post from: Rare LEGOs

The LEGO Star Wars TIE fighters were the workhorses of the Imperial Navy. With no shielding and little armament, the only thing these fighters had going for them was their speed and maneuverability in space. Regardless, these fighters were often thought of as flying coffins, and pilots rarely made ace. In an attempt to create a better fighter with longer living pilots the TIE Interceptor was developed. More powerful and faster, the TIE Interceptor could to blow the TIE out of the water, or out of the vacuum, rather.

Able to out fly an X-wing and almost beat A-wings, the Tie Interceptor was an elite craft. Following the effectiveness of the curved solar collection panels Darth Vader’s Tie Advanced x1, the Tie Interceptor used arrow-shaped solar panels to decrease drag while increasing speed and visibility for the pilot at the same time. The P-s5.6 twin ion engines feature an advanced ion-stream projector, allowing the pilots to make phenomenal combat maneuvers. Wingtip mounted laser cannons make these fighters heavier armed than the regular TIEs, thought the wingtip cannons do seem to be ripped off the X-Wing design. These laser cannons and the advanced targeting systems made them even deadlier in the hands of an expert pilot. The hawk-like visage brought fear into the hearts of Rebels, furthering the Emperor’s campaign of terror and fear. Released in 2006, this set contains the TIE Interceptor and the TIE pilot.

Part of the Star Wars Classic collection, the LEGO 6206 version of the TIE Interceptor is very accurate to the actual fighter. A model of the latter version of the Interceptor, this model includes even the latter cockpit mounted laser cannons for a total of six cannons. In the opening and realistic cockpit a LEGO Star Wars minifigure pilot could thread the Interceptor like a needle through battle, regardless of the battlefield. The blue trim will make it look even sleeker to intimidate enemy pilots, and just that much more stylish when sitting on the rack in a Capital ship. The TIE Interceptor pilot wears the black suit of the Imperial Starfighter corps. Wearing his own life support, the pilot is stuck in the bulky helmet and tubes. The pilot doesn’t even have a real face, using instead a solid black head to give the helmet a shiny visor look.

Made of 212 pieces, this fighter takes its place among the best of the LEGO Star Wars craft. Recommended for builders age 7 to 12, this nice looking craft that isn’t too complex, enabling younger builders to have fun while being challenged. Younger builders might have some difficulty with the mechanisms that keep the wing at their angles, but older builders will have no difficulty. An amazing set with a lot of playability value, the set is more fun when it is put with other LEGO Star Wars starfighters.

Screaming through the vacuum of space comes one of the most fearsome fighters ever built. Called squints by the Rebel Alliance hotshots of Rouge Squadron, this fighter is out for blood, rebel blood. Will the pilot become an ace, or will he strike out in his first engagement? Or is the pilot a Rebel operative in disguise on a secret mission? Only you can decide his fate, so get flying!

Twelve LEGO Star Wars mini models, nine LEGO Star Wars minifigures and four other unique builds! Wait, these aren’t the twelve days of Christmas, there are double the number of items needed for twelve days. Of course, these are part of the Star Wars Advent Calendar! Set to be released in August 2011, this epic set is full of pre-Christmas fun and surprises!

Why, you might ask, why do we need a LEGO Advent Calendar? Waiting for Christmas is already awesome enough! But I tell you, getting to open a Star Wars minifigure or mini model everyday in December before Christmas makes the wait even better! It’s like jumping to lightspeed! And if that isn’t reason enough to pick up this awesome set, just think of all the exclusive mini models and minifigures that you’ll have access to over the course of the twenty-four days!

The mini models include a Republic Gunship, TIE Fighter, Boba Fett’s Slave 1, an X-Wing, A-Wing, Y-Wing, Snowspeeder, the Millennium Falcon, Imperial Shuttle, Homing Spider Droid, Dwarf Spider Droid and Republic Cruiser. Some of these mini sets have appeared before, such as the Republic Gunship or the Millennium Falcon. Even those that have been released before in mini have been redesigned for this special calendar, completely redesigned. These special edition ships and droids all work well together, but are smaller than most of the other mini sets that LEGO has developed. The calendar also contains a tool rack, a weapons rack, a Nemodian Mechano Chair and a traditional Christmas Tree.

But among the top reasons to get this set are the minifigures! Such a cast of memorable and unique minifigures has not been seen in a long time. Yoda, the crowning jewel of the set, can be seen wearing a Santa outfit, complete with a backpack full of presents! The old and wise Jedi master must be bringing the good padawans presents! Completely unique, this version of Yoda alone makes this set worth it. Nute Gunray, with his frowning face and outrageous headgear, makes another appearance in this set. Also included here are a mouse droid (the kind of droids that used to lead Stormtroopers down the halls of the Death Star) and a black astromech droid, R2-Q5 to be exact. Both of these droids are very, very rare and would make an amazing addition to any LEGO Star Wars fan’s collection! Also included in this set is a pilot battle droid, TIE pilot (with upgraded helmet), Clone pilot, Zev Senesca (one of the few surving members of the original Rogue Squadron) in a typical Rebel pilots flight suit and Chewbacca carrying his trademark bowcaster.

A whole lot of holiday fun, this LEGO calendar is recommended for builders age 7 to 14. The mini models are not complex, but are difficult to build because of their small size. These sets can be played with, but don’t have many moving parts, which might make them a little boring for some younger builders. With a total of 266 pieces, each mini model is only a few pieces, but the thought of opening a new set everyday will make the holiday time even more exciting! May the Force be with you through the holidays and have fun opening your special presents from the 7958 Star Wars Advent Calendar!

Racing through the blackness of space is the LEGO Star Wars 6207 A-wing Fighter. Starfighter pilots battled the odds to survive in the intense dogfights and turbolaser fire. Among the best of the fighters, A-Wings (also known as “Slims”) made Imperials think twice before engaging in combat. With the fastest fighter in the Rebel Alliance arsenal, A-wing jocks liked to remind everyone else that hey were the fastest things in space. All pilots tended to have large egos, but A-wing pilots tended to be the worst.  Prized by some commanders, not everyone was fond of the A-wings, especially Rogue Squadron.

Based off the design of the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor (also known as the Jedi Interceptor, being flown almost exclusively by Jedi pilots), the A-Wing is little more than a cockpit with overly large engines. And laser cannons, of course. These speedy little craft took a good deal of skill to handle; their speed meant that taking a hard turn might throw the craft into a deadly spin or crash into enemy ships. Built for rapid hit and fade attacks, these fighters could slag capital ship weapons and tear through squadrons of enemy starfighters before anyone knew what happened. However, their light shields and armor left them more vulnerable if anything did catch up to them. These fighters aren’t for cowardly LEGO pilots, but for men and women of all species that are willing to stand up for what is right and bring evildoers to justice.  The most famous A-wing pilot was Arvel Crynyd, who crashed into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer Executor during the Battle of Endor, causing it to fall into the second Death Star, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Rebel Alliance. Another of the starfighters that were released for the 2006 Classic Star Wars line, the LEGO 6207 A-Wing Fighter set was the second time that the A-wing has appeared. This set includes the A-wing, hanger train as well as the A-wing mechanic mini figure.

The pilot is dressed is a green uniform with localized environment controls on the front of his suit. With a daredevil type helmet and a standardized smiling face, the minifigure isn’t so much a specific character as a generic pilot. The mechanic is similarly bland, with the same generic smiling face, which is flesh colored. Wearing a grey jumpsuit and matching helmet, he’s ready and able to work on any fighter the Rebel Alliance might need fixing. The hanger train is a relatively simple vehicle. With room enough for two people or some supplies, there are two sections, the first containing the controls and the second holding the ship entrance ladder.

The fighter itself is a great remake of the A-Wing from the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi movie. The red trim and decals make the vehicle look like a fast predator, instead of prey. The large engines and maneuvering props are exactly as portrayed in the movie, and the laser cannons can even swivel to surprise the enemy! Compared to the other versions, this craft is much sleeker than the version of the 7134 A-Wing fighter set from 200 and more to scale than the version included in the 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser from 2009.

The 194-piece set is recommended by LEGO for builders age 7 to 12. The set is not very difficult to build, including relatively few moving parts and containing no special weapons, flick-to-fire missile or other special features. While that might seem to decrease its playability, get this fighter into a dogfight with Imperial Ties and you’ll find out it has just as much to offer as anything else. A great set for younger builders working their way up, it also provides a lot of fun.
