My five year son enjoyed building this, but the plastic used for many of the pieces is noticeably softer than that from previous Star Wars sets. The pieces have a different ‘feel’, and often require a lot more pressure to make them connect. The overall construction is not as robust. Pieces keep falling off, particularly the armor. China has been creeping up the list of product sources on recent Lego models, and is now listed second after Denmark (ahead of Hungary, Mexico, and Czech Republic). No doubt this is the reason. We just hope product quality can remain appropriately high, and we won’t see the recalls experienced by many other manufacturers recently.

Interesting new Star Wars Lego model. Fairly easy build and nice design. Haven’t seen the Clone Wars episode so don’t know if the tank matches the t.v. show one accurately (need to look up). But it’s a cool looking new Star Wars lego.
PRO’s-Design, hidden compartment that holds a seated figure which uses a technique lever that raises and lowers the figure (very cool idea), sliding lever towards front that fires 2 missiles, 2 flick-fire missiles at rear on tilting mount, a tilting canon at front/middle, 3 mini-figures (with 2 brand new Star Wars characters:space pirate figures).
CON’s- Overall very strong middle section and back construction but left and right side armor towards front could use another piece to secure it better. Stickers used for tops of the opening hatch should’ve been brick pieces (the stickers are fine but a brick plate would be better or a printed brick plate). When applying the stickers here, follow the instructions accurately so they line up properly with each other.
Also this could be a con or not (I haven’t seen the show so someone can correct me), the 2 new minifigures are cool but they seem out of place in the Star Wars Universe (meaning their look, not design-which is cool). Also, the mini-figures have guns and swords which again seem out of place in the futuristic Star Wars world. Also on the side of the lower wings to the back of the ship, there appears to be ‘harpoon’ looking weapons. Again does this fit into the futuristic Star Wars world? Perhaps lego should’ve designed these same ‘old’ looking weapons to have a new, futuristic style to them. I understand the pirate motif with the weapons but a futuristic style to them would’ve been better I think.
Overall though I’d recommend this to any kid or adult fan of lego or Star Wars. Fun to play with.
