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 thing I was wondering about, the instructions show a grey 1x2 brick used
in the assembly of each scimitar. But the copy of the set I got includes one
white and one gray!

Peeron confirms that it should have 2 gray.

Did anyone else get a white one instead of a gray?

I liked the set though! And it's the first time I got LEGO(r) for Christmas
from Josette so that's good too.
