Finally, now I can get a minifigure version of R2-D2 and C3PO. Seriously
though, this does look like a sweet set. Im glad that they made this full
scale version instead of a mini.

Im really glad they used bricks instead of the house of plates construction
method. And we get technic treads instead of rubber ones too!
Thank you Lego!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cool! Im surprised nobody has dinged it yet, for not having a cohesive color
scheme. :-)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Very cool! Interesting detail that it has wheels, so the treads must be for
show. Im going to LOVE this set! I amy have to buy a couple just so I can keep
one built.

Are you sure about the wheels? It looks like 4 tread assemblies to
me.

I think it has wheels under the tread assemblies, that's what the LEGO.com page
makes it sound like, anyway.

That's exactly the way I interpreted the description as well and the only reason
I mentioned it. I specifically remember the phrase 'rides on wheels for smooth
motion'.

Aha! I was so busy looking at the pictures that I skimmed over the
text.

The model definitely has technic treads, and making them stay in place and still
have wheels would be unnecessarily complicated. Id put money on it being just
a poor choice of words on that page. Wouldnt be the first time, after all. :)
