One of a kind - great minifigs
This is a larger set, but as a star wars fan it is a must. You get unique minifigures and droids with this set. I love this set and it seems to go up in price on ebay so if you are interested in getting it. I wouldn't wait. As a collector I love it, and if you play with these sets, it would probably be fun as well as this set has various parts that have different functionality, such as the main control room you can take off, and the crane that you can replace and put at the top of the set.
Box/Instructions
Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Parts
You get some unique pieces in this set. To point out the obvious, you get a lot brown pieces.
Minifigures
Very Unique - You get a variety of minifigures in this set and figures that are not in other sets.The build
It did not take that long. At times the base plates would break when I pressed down too hard or at a slight angle.
The completed model
Large, looks greatSummary
I am glad I got this set, everything is great about it, it's large, you get a lot of pieces, some unique pieces and great minifigures. The one thing that they could have done better would be the base of the set could have been designed to be a little more sturdy.

a "must have" set
A very good building experience; colors are great and added figures corresponds to the reality in the movie.
Details are well covered.
To be improved:
-more mechanical parts (i.e. door opened by wheel)
-unused space inside the vehicle

Teehee!
Teehee! I love the little Jawas!
This set is amazing. I got it at the local Lego Store at the mall, and I guess they just had some left over or something becuase they hadn't sold the set online for like 2 years, so I got really lucky.
I built this set on a spare weekend in about 5-7 hours. The build was long, but very fun. The only part I didn't like of the build was when I built the wheels because they were repetive, but then, that what brothers are for. :)
After I was done, I was in awe. The set is HUGE, and looks great. It looks like it is really a little worn down a bit, and looks like it belongs in the sand.
Playability is great. The wheels move smoothly on any surface, and the crane works great, especially from the top of the Sandcrawler. The front door opens and your can take the crane out from there. The control center looks really neat, and there is a space for 1 Jawa in there. Other minifigures can go in the middle, which you can see into, and its like another little control area with a bunch of tools. Everything is just fun and awesome.
The minifigures are awesome. It comes with 3 Jawas, (but could come with another), a trash droid, Treadwell Droid (oober cool), an droid similiar to R2, a caretaker droid, a Gonk droid (looks like a mailbx with feet, Uncle Owen, R2-D2, and C-3P0, the two best droids EVAR!
The price was very nice. It was $100 for 1,600 pieces, so compared to the sets today, it was a great deal. Also, $100 may seem a little high, but it was well worth it.
Jawa Sandcrawler: one of the greatest sets of all time. There is no flaws, and it is well worth the price. If the is anything to add, there should have been the landspeeder, Luke, and another Jawa.
Overall, easily the best set of my collection. Teehee! :D

GREAT SET!
This is one big brown machine I really think is a winning set!
Minifigs: This set has 11 minifigs COOL minifigs. It has Uncle owen,
C-3PO, R2-D2 3 jawas, an ASP droid, R5-D4, a gonk droid, treadwell droid, and R1G4. R1G4 is the cool green droid that you get in this set. You can't find jawas in any other set besides this one! Uncle owen is a one of a kind minifig too. If you have a star wars minifig collection, these minifigs would make a great addition to it.
Build and structure: Sandcrawler itself, at least mine is pretty sturdy. You can take out the whole middle section and reaveal the jawas' workshop! You can 2 things on the roof hole of it. One is the original top piece that is supposed to go there, the other thing is a crane that is stored inside the sandcrawler.The build is great too except the treads, they're a little tedious I guess, you have to build 4 of them.The rest is pretty fun to build. especially the minifigs!
I like all the little details of all the orange specks too. This set is one good big, brown, set that will definetly make a great addition to any lego star wars fan!
Structure:10/10
build:8/10
Minifigs:10/10

Overall, I definetly would recommend this set to ANY star wars fan!
