Star Wars Corporate Alliance Tank Droid

The details on the Umbaran MHC (Mobile Heavy Cannon) are amazing. The set is made up of 493 pieces, and the mechanics of the MHC are simple, yet great. For retail price of $49.99, you get 4 amazing figures. You get Ahsoka Tano with new torso and leg printing based off her Season 3 and 4 appearance, a double sided head, and two lightsabers. As a fan of the Clone Wars series, my only complaint about her minifigure is that she doesn't have a short-lengthed lightsaber like her TV show counterpart (fans of the show will know what I'm talking about)...but aside from that, she's still a great minifigure. The next figure is the highly anticipated 212th Clone Trooper. The figure is just as great as the 501st Trooper in the AT-RT Walker set and the Z-95, but followers of the Clone Wars series will notice that the color of the minifigure does not match the 212th troopers in the show. Star Wars fans know that the armor color of the 212th troopers is orange, not yellow. I don't know if Lego chose yellow on purpose or something went wrong with the coloring in the production line. But nonetheless, I still love this figure. The last two figures you get in this set are the Umbaran Soldiers. Their faces and torso printing look great, but their helmets cover their mouths, so they look kind of funny. Great figs overall. Now onto the Mobile Heavy Cannon. Kudos to the designer of this set. It looks very much like the ones on the show. There are a lot of small pieces that make up the legs, so having to make six of them was very repetitive. The body of the MHC can sit both Umbaran Soldiers, one in the front and one in the back. The cannon on top can spin and be pointed in any direction, which is actually pretty fun to play with.

Great set for its price (at time of writing I bought it on sale for $16.79, down from $20). Good amount of pieces and minifigs for what you get. The tank droid is pretty movie-accurate, and the treads run very smoothly. I took out a tread piece so that it fit more tightly. It was a fun build, nothing very complicated. The droid is pretty basic, nothing to say about it. The 'Geonosian' red-brown color is something new for my LEGO collection, though. The clone trooper has 'Phase I' clone armor, and the front and back prints on the torso are great. The real star is of course Jango. The printed details are great. He has details on both front and back of the torso, as well as printed legs (including the top bar!). The jetpack and helmet are both awesome. The fire hose guns are slightly disappointing, but work well enough to represent his weapons. Overall, I mainly bought this for Jango, but for what you get--tank droid, Jango, clone, and battle droid--it's a great set. Good work, TLG!

I recently started a collection of LEGO Star Wars sets because my girls love their LEGO Friends sets and love playing with the Star Wars sets with me. I've always been a fan of Star Wars and this is just a great excuse to start my collection. The set is no longer available on the LEGO web site at the time of this review so I expect that it is being Retired soon. This is a nice small set with a cool droid tank. The build is fun and has a unique tread that circles the entire build. It comes with three MiniFigs and 271 total pieces with a $19.99 MSRP. While the tank is great, the real draw is the Jango Fett MiniFig. There hasn't been a Jango Fett MiniFig since 2002 so it will most likely become a collector's item once this set is Retired. Due to the impending retirement, I picked up two extras as investments primarily for the rare Jango Fett MiniFig. Overall, this is a great set for the collection.

my 4yr old is addicted to Star Wars lego's. It's insane how he know who all the characters are without every seeing the tv cartoon shows, NOR the movies. But nonetheless, he asked for this kit, which I got for him. Typical Lego set.. high quality, tight fitting components. For anyone having a problem getting the heads out of the helmets when the head comes off the body, put a super very thin coat of vaseline on the top of the head of the character and the helmet will come off much easier. Yes, the helmet will move easier when on the head, but choose your battle wisely!

I had more fun building this set than I expected, but just fell short of loving it. There are some great pieces included in this set, especially the braces on the sides of the tank that are uniquely shaped. Well designed and good instructions, but with enough complexity that it takes a little longer to build than you would expect a set of this size to require. I also had a bit of geeky fun - disproportionate for the task, I know - putting the tank track together link by link. I love that it is actually a track rather than one of the sculpted rubber bands used in the Ninjago sets. The minifigures are excellent, with the exception of the mediocre battle droid. Unsure why Jengo Fett is included on this particular set, but I'm not going to complain about it. The only suggestions I would give to the Lego group on this one is I would have liked the spring-loaded missiles rather than flick missiles and I wish the track actually rolled along on flat, smooth surfaces rather than sliding; it does well enough on cloth and carpet, though. A fun set with nice features and a good build, just a couple of minor let-downs.

For my 7 and half years old son the product is within his grasp... allows him to construct it almost alone through the manual... I have noticed that there are a couple of extras pieces seem to confuse ...maybe an extra separate bag with extra title might be useful What I recommend relabel the product suitability from 7 to 12 to from 7 to 9 year age I do recommend also to ask the user to organize the lego pieces on a wide area where he puts all pieces infront of him before constructing in order to get them familiar with all the pieces early on ....

Good Lego set for the price. My 5 and 7 year old love it. They put it together by themselves (each one page of the instructions to avoid an intergalactic war) and the set is well kept together when they are playing with it. We took 2 links out from the track to keep it a bit tighter, it was too floppy with all the links.

Out of all the tank droids lego has made, this is by far the best of them. It is incredibly well put together, for kids it rolls well when you push it and it is very sturdy overall. The design itself looks great and much better than the previous version. One of the highlights of this set is the Jango Fett figure and it's definitely one of the selling points of the set.

This set is probably worth about £20 in my view. Certainly not £89.99 reduced from £200. The box is slightly longer than a dinner fork and weight about 100g. It is easy to be taken in by the suggestion that you are getting a big £200 set for £89.99.

You know exactly what you buy when you get a Lego product. Make it a Star Wars themed product and there is no surprise there. Just expect a high quality object that will be as advertised, with the legendary quality of this toy manufacturer.

I purchased this for my young nephew, I have alwaysed loved Lego even when my son was young, a parent can't go wrong with Lego!

Good little piece. Loved it for the collection.
