First and foremost, I got this in an art and hobby shop, not a toy shop. So it was a little more expensive, slightly. This kit cost me sixteen euros, and in all honesty, it was worth every penny. It was a joy to build, and included FOUR mini figures. Even if they were three euro each (they cost more if you buy the blind bag figures with random ones in it) then the actually vehicle also works out at three or four euro.

First off are the mini figures. I am super impressed with how these have come along since I was a child. There is a head exclusively for a Tusken Raider. How cool is that?

Next up we have an R2 Unit, and I have to say, I love the little guy.

If you are famliar with the Star Wars lore, if a droid isn’t memory wiped every now and then, they will develop little personality quirks. Some see them as a trade off with a useful experience droid with a lot of info or skills. Its fun. As you can see, this guy is a little flasher. Naughty dude.

And he is a perfect step ladder for the Tusken Raider

Finally we have the Jawas. I love these. Id buy a box of 20 of these guys for fifty euros if I could

I love the moulded hoods, but do not like the stumpy legs. While it makes them more in scale with normal figures, once you arm them with a gun they fall over. BTW the guns fire those little see-through blue studs, and you get spares.

And of course here is the size comparison

Onto the vehicle itself. This is not anything I have seen from the movies, but it looks like a cross between the sand crawler and lukes speeder. That is to say that something like this should not exist, could not exist nor does already exist somewhere in a comic or game. Just giving my thoughts.

Personally, I think it is very cool. The initial construction and assembly is easy and fun

Some nice little details like a rotating platform, tools, and a window visor make this something quite cool to hold and look at. As well as push around and make your own sound effects.

And the assembled kit with rotating magnetic arm, figures and box, all mid battle in a horrible photo with non related nonsense in the background.

I cannot recommend this kit enough. Don’t give it to a toddler though. Not suitable for them with the small parts and flying projectile pieces.

Also, I am eyeing up my next kit:
