    Interesting set

    Written by (TFOL) in Russian Federation,

    When I was 8, I was incredibly happy and excited when realized that this speeder has 2 pilots. I didn't like the guns and made them like in 7130. The construction is easy, but has a lot of interesting parts and minifigures are very good. My passion is collecting rebel helmets, and here you get Luke's helmet with red signs and Dack's helmet with blue signs. Also you get rebel trooper with ion cannon and if you have an AT-AT, you can have an exciting Hoth battle, because this speeder has also a harpoon.

    One of my favorite sets ever

    Written by (TFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    When I was 7, I spotted this set on fbtb.com (no longer the site it was) and I fell in love with it. This was in June. That Christmas, I got it. Sadly, after a while, it disassembled and I couldn't find the pieces. But, 3 years later, in Christmas 2010, I got it again. It still had the essence it had 3 years ago. This time, I'll take better care of it. First I'll review the minifigures, then the speeder.

    First we have Luke Skywalker. He has his original face before they switched to the more serious one. He has standard star wars pilot uniform. He has the helmet most LEGO Star Wars pilots have, but he has his trademark one with the red logos I can't describe. He comes with his blue lightsaber.

    Now his partner in the speeder, Dan Ralter. Dan has the same uniform as Luke. His helmet is the same as Luke's too, except the logos are blue. He has the basic smiley face, so he can be Dan Ralter or just "pilot guy".

    Then we have our snow trooper. He has my favorite LEGO head, the smiley with the printed red hair and one triangular eyebrow. He has standard snow trooper uniform. He has the larger blaster. He has a helmet with goggles. His cannon, spins 360o and has a handle he can hold on.

    Now, the snowspeeder. It has two wings, equipped with cannons, at a limited angle. The wings also have flaps on them, probably used for adjusting air resistance. There is a part on the side of the cockpit where Luke can put his lightsaber. The windshield opens up, But only from the front. So to remove Dan, who sits in the back, you must remove the windshield, too. In the back, there is a grapling hook, used for tripping ATAT and ATST walkers, but if you don't have walkers, you can use it for rescuing stranded troopers, too.

    All in all, this is Lego's best snowspeeder. I reccomend you get it. 5/5

    the description of awsomeness

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

       This is the BEST star wars set ever! It comes with yellow minifigs(which I personaly like better than tan) and a descently cheap set with Luke Skywalker. The speeder has to be the best part about this set. It comes with detail not to much but some and its accurate to the movie(unlike the first one which was gray for some reason). The only problem with this set is Luke and Dac don't fit in their seats well its hard to get them positioned right. Overall if you can find this set BUY IT! I promise you you wont regret getting it.

    A great Star Wars set to own.

    Written by (Unspecified , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    I own the original of this set, so once I saw the new design I had to purchase it. The new and improved look made the old look.....well old. :) The pieces hold intact all the time and this set doesn't disappoint little kids (experience). A great buy.

    Written by (Unspecified) in New Zealand,

    This was the first ever StarWars LEGO set I ever received. I got it for my mum who had gone on a holiday ( she had introduced me to StarWars ). At first I had no idea who the guys were and what the laser turret did or was. It didn't take me long to figure it out.

    Snowspeeder. This set is seriously excellent. The weight is perfect, the size is perfect, EVERYTHING is perfect. The wings, so detailed, great use of bricks, NO STICKERS! The cock pit, perfect amount of space, nice control panel, NO STICKERS! I could go on, and on, and on about this set, but fortunately I can't. =( Another thing I really like is the fact that on the wings there are a lot of really good pieces used, like the orange and white slanted pieces, the small tubes used for the blasters and the flappy paddles used for steering. A great set.

    The Turret. The very fist time I made this turret I thought it was a satellite used for communication. It broke. A few months later I saw the film and discovered that this turret was no satellite, I ended up rebuilding it. It actually looks really cool, I'm using it for a turret in my base that I have constructed.

    Minifigures. The minifigures in this set are awesome! I especially like the rebel trooper. Luke and Dak are also cool with their pilot gear.

    Fortunately this set is pretty old so I would say "Buy this set, it's a great buy" but many of you won't be able to.
