Speeder Bikes Review
I love this set! So much so that I went and bought 2 of them when it came out. The Speeder Bikes in Return of the Jedi are some of my favorite vehicles along with some of the best Empire Troop Armor/Uniforms in the movie series.
Instructions
The booklet is LEGO's easy, clear illustrated step-by-step instructions.
Parts
There's a total of 93 pieces, so the $10 for this set that it retailed at the time feels very reasonable. Most of the pieces go for the speeder bikes.
Minifigures
There's a total of three minifigures with this set, two Scout Troopers and Luke Skywalker.
The build and completed model
The fact that you build two speeder bikes, makes it slightly repetitive, but not horribly so. The other build is for a bit of foliage and tree to suggest the setting of Endor where Luke is hiding, waiting to attack the troopers.
Summary
This is a set where I've bought two of it in order to get several speeder bikes. Alas, if I could have foreseen the future, I might not have bought two and focused on the better speeder bike models that have come out in the intervening years since 1999.

Very good set
There's a lot I like about this one...it has 2 awesome lookings Troopers, each riding a detailed bike, and of course Luke Skywalker with his glowing, green lightsaber. Not very expensive, and lots of fun. Get this if you can.

good times
This set was one of my first star wars sets, somehow I ended up with two of this particular set, and having 4 speeder bikes is quite nice for an imperial army, a must have for collectors
Pros:
The Luke Figure is a unique figure not found in any other sets
the speeder bikes are fun and easy to play with
Cons:
Speeders can fall apart easily1 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
