LEGO Star Wars Endor Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (9489) Review

February 18, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The other battle pack released in Jan/Feb 2012 for the LEGO Star Wars series is the Endor Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (9489). However, this set only contains 77 pieces but also retails for $12.99. This is the other battle pack along with the Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack that features two different factions.

LEGO Star Wars Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack (9488) Review

February 9, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I finally get my hands on the new 2012 LEGO Star Wars sets. The first to be reviewed is the Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack. This set was released in January/February 2012. It contains 98 pieces and retails for $12.99 which comes out to a fairly high $0.13/piece. This along with the Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (9489) are the first sets to feature two minifigures from different factions instead of four minifigs from the same faction like in previous battle packs.

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212) Review

February 8, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Around Christmas 2011, I was looking around different sites to see if there were sales going on at that time. To my delight, there was a sale on Amazon.com for the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle. Not really wanting to spend that much on a LEGO set but it was a deal that I couldn’t pass up. The set includes 2503 pieces and retails for $259.99, which is at $0.09/piece. The bricks come in many bags, and when I say many, I mean many! The bags aren’t numbered but are organized very well. I recommend a big table to spread out the pieces when assembling because there will be at least ten different piles. There are four instruction booklets included in a polybag with a cardboard backing so the booklets wouldn’t get wrinkled. The set was released in September 2010.

LEGO Star Wars Ewok Attack (7956) Review

January 23, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi, we see a group of furry individuals who help out the Rebel forces called Ewoks. In August 2011, LEGO released set 7956 called Ewok Attack. Here the set recreates a scene from the Battle of Endor where the Ewoks ambush the Imperial forces. Ewok Attack consists of 166 pieces and goes for $24.99 which puts it at $0.15 per piece.
