Just finished the two speeders.  Anakin's is okay...lots of good parts.  Zam
Wessell's speeder, however, is surprisingly cool.  The following is what the
pictures don't reveal:  Within the structure there are some Technic parts
and rubber bands (!) that create a sliding action to "blow up" the speeder.
There are two smoke grey transparent slope pieces on top of the speeder
which slide backward independently to release the big pontoons...a neat
feature that I wasn't expecting!  This is reminicent of the Technic C3PO or
the original Kenner speeder bike toy that also flies apart.  We'll probably
see Wessel's speeder get blown apart in EpII.

The Zam Wessell minifig has a cool surprise as well, but I won't give too
much away.  This set increases in fun and value as you build it...highly
recommended!

(...) I've been ignoring this set as it has so many new colors I figured I'd just get frustrated. But I got it for Christmas. Neato. I like the wings/scimitars although I found the release mechanism somewhat tricky to put together correctly. One (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)
