    Army builder all in itself, wookies

    Written by (KFOL) in United States,

    I had this set for a while, but never managed to review it. This set includes a tank droid a spider droid, two droids, two Wookies, and a ornahopter. The minifigs are great, the battle droids you can find in almost every Star Wars set, and the main prize, the rare Wookies, only version in existence. The Spider Droid is small but effective, although not as detailed as the 2008 counter part. Next is the Tank droid which is way better than the 2009 version, It has weird colors which the colors were not in the movie instead it was grey and black, but I like when Lego does that. And finally the Flyer. The flyer is the only version they ever made, but its really great! Its like a army builder all in itself! It has two worriers, one in the front and one manning the gun. Overall I give this set a 5/5 and great for army building I almost feel like getting another one!

    Overall a great set and value for money

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    First off I just want to say that this is a great value for money. You get a tank droid, wookie flyer, a mini-spider droid, two battle droids and two wookies. Now I will review the set.

    The tank droid is nice as it is the same as in the movie, unlike the newer version. The side panels lift up to reveal a small cockpit that swings out. It's a pretty good addition to a collection, and the side panels are very rare (this set only). Unfortunately the back wheels often fall off, the treads jam, and are a pain to connect and easy to lose. Once the tread of mine broke and pieces of it got scattered throughout my lego bins and my house. It took me over a year to find it all.

    Next up is the mini-spider droid. I don't have much to say as it is so small, but it's pretty cool. My only problem with it is that the legs are positioned oddly.

    The wookie flyer is really nice in my opinion, because it allows lots of wookie/droid conflict. The wookie warriors are nice and quite rare. The flyer itself is good, with a spot for a pilot in front, and a spot for a a gunner (with mounted gun) in back. The antennae are a bit odd, but i have no problem with them, as I'm pretty sure it's in the movie. There is only one small flaw, and that is that the mounted gun in back cannot rotate, it can only go up and down, but that is easily modified.

    Pros
    • Nice tank droid with opening cockpit
    • Nice mini-spider droid
    • Nice wookie flyer
    • Rare wookie minifigs
    • Great value for money
    • Multiple sets make entire battle
    Cons
    • Back wheels fall of and treads are a pain on the tank droid
    • Back gun on wookie flyer does not rotate

    Overall I think this is a great set that I give a 4.5, which I bump up to ten. Happy Building

    Top notch army builder

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

    Summary

    7258 Wookie Attack is a set not like many others, because not only for its price, but for the variety of ships and minifigs you receive in it. The build is a bit tiring, mostly because of connecting the 69 pieces to make the tread for the tank droid, but LEGO does keep you intersted throughout the build. The wookie flyer can be pretty fragile although the 8 antennae seem to not be as much of a problem as I expected. The Tank Droid is extremely strong and will probably not fall apart.

    Minifigures

    You receive 4 minifigures in this set; 2 hard-to-get wookiees and 2 battle droids. They are all very nice and are very detailed and movie-accurate. The battle droids receive 2 ion blasters and the wookies pilot the flyer, which has a weapon built in it. The spider droid is very unique. It is very stiff and much more stable compared to the 2008 version of the spider droid (7670). One battle droid will pilot the tank which is one detail I think made this set great.

    Overall

    Playability: 10/10. There is no stop to the fun you can have with the movable tank and the wookie flyer battling along with the battle droids and spider droid.

    Building experience: 7.5/10: Although there are some rare pieces to discover, there is also the dreaded step in building the tread, which can take a while.

    Parts: 10/10: There are many exclusive pieces to this set. The easiest example is the orange plating printed with designs on the tank droid. There are also many hard-to-get pieces in this set, especially the brown pieces on the wookiee flyer.

    Value for Money: 10/10: For $30 you get what is mentioned above plus an army builder for your other sets. You can easily get 2 or 3 of these and make an entire battle.

    A very nice set which I consider you to get, even when you look at the price for these nowadays.

  • The best in my memory

    Written by (Unspecified , bronze-rated reviewer) in Netherlands,

    I know it like it was yesterday when I saw some blurry pics of the prototype set, and I really thought wow I want that tank! and after trying to build it myself (wich didn't work) I was waiting months before it was on the online shop and I immediatly decided to order it. I was so happy when it came

    I started with the spider droid, it was nice for that time but the new one is much better. after that the tank, the main feature in the set. looked like a really cool tank, and yes it had some flaws but wich set don't? the wookie thing was for me just not much, but the two wookies are a nice addition

    overal I think it's a really good set for that time. but if I look to other sets these days, I really think those are much better, and especially the new upcoming corporate alliance tank droid

  • Sweet!

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    I love this set. The first time I saw it the first thing I noticed was the spider droid. I thought it was so cool I bought it right away. I soon found out that it was not the only cool thing in this set. The tank is awesome! The treads work great, and it's so much fun to roll it around and blast everything in its way. The structure is strong too. The wookie vehicle is okay but not too strong and it breaks really easily. It looks strange, but the wookie minifigures are nice. Sometimes the pictures in Lego magazines made it look like the one on the gun was Chewbaka, but it really isn't. It also looks like there is a droid in the tank, and the set has three droids, but there are only two. The spider droid is cool and stays together well. Mine lasted long after everything else was broken. I wish Lego had made more sets with a spider droid like this, cause the new one is flimsy. Overall, a great buy, but I wouldn't get it for the wookies.
