    The best Lego set I have

    Written by (Unspecified) in Australia,


    This set has just over 800 pieces. A good assortment of Technic and regular parts to work with. Colors are mostly gray and dark gray, with a bit of dark red. A little brown and yellow here and there, but nothing too annoying.

    As mentioned, this set comes with a good number of accessories for your tank. A cannon with rotating turret. A small cannon for a battle droid to operate. A jetpack with wings for the aerial trooper. And a nice speeder bike.

    Aside from the small gripes I've already mentioned, I have a few additional ones. Mace Windu's battery isn't replaceable. I'm not sure what we're supposed to do when his battery runs dry. The light-up light saber is held in his right hand, which isn't movable. You can move his arm up and down, but you can't pose the hand. The light saber is held at an angle. But these are very minor complaints. I suppose that's the price we pay for a light-up light saber. I should mention that Mace's light saber is tinted purple, but the light is blue. Maybe it's just the lighting in my home, but his saber comes off looking more blue than purple when lit up.

    I believe the faults mentioned here are all pretty minor. This set gets a big thumbs up from me. I had a great time assembling it and playing around with it.

    What's not to love?

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    Ever since I laid my eyes on this set, I wanted it. Although I would try to get it on Ebay ( because my local toy store never had it) no luck. It wasn't until Christmas until I received it. Anyways, this set is incredible. So many unique features and figures. Mace Windu, the speeder bike clone, as well as the clone with the jet pack. The build took a while because this set is surprisingly technic, though hidden under all that armor. Although it has many, this set has very few unique pieces, which was kind of dissapointing. Once the whole thing was built, the playability became apparent. Hours of fun awaits anyone who buys this set! And an awesome value with a lot of wheels and big plates and minifigures for only 90$. Overall a success, and in my opinion, much more attractive than the Clone Wars version.

    fantastic

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    After two and a half hours of making this set, it turned out very sturdy and realistic.....Until I was walking downstairs and I was so excited that my hands got sweaty and I dropped it and it crashed and pieces went flying! I still blame myself, my sweat and the way I put it together because if you don't pack down the pieces they come loose and break off (don't glue them together because it makes it worse!). Overall, it is a very good set.

    this was my set that started it all

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

    this was my first set as the title says. it took me three whole days (i was young). it is supprisingly rugged. it survived a trip to my grandmothers house, all my friends playing with it and several accidental drops on the floor (not my fualt).

    the set has a multitude of features. the massive hatches on the sides open, the look out tower rises/turns and you can put Tons of clones in there!

    the tanks suspentoin is great! i test it all the time and the thing holds up to it all. the tank has a wide turning radius and is somewhat heavy. its mostly a technic build from the wheels to the large hatch. every thing else is regular lego build.

    - pros,

    rugged, reliable and tons of room inside

    - cons

    heavy to young people, long build, and its Big!

    overall it is a great set and make sure you have the room to put it somewhere

    Great Buy

    Written by (Unspecified) in Australia,

    I got this set 5 years ago. Even though it was only in Revenge of The Sith for about 3 seconds it's still awesome.

    The overall design of the vehicle is astounding, nothing falls off, the bricks at the bottom that form the structure are surprisingly strong and interlocked with each other, I've only had to rebuild this set twice which is very good considering it's been through a move of house and been stored in a crate with other lego for a few months all in five years!

    There's heaps of little features that you wouldn't notice just looking at the picture. like the openable hatches either side of the engine, the adjustable look out tower, the suspension of the 10 wheels, and the ability to open up the sides to hold all your clones, you can sort of see it in the picture but there's a small hatch just above the pilot seat where you can move the seat up open the hatch and have his head sticking out, how cool is that?

    The mini figures in this set are great. You've got a jet trooper, a scout trooper + speeder, a normal clone and not to mention Mace Windu! To be honest with you, I hate light up lightsabers with a passion, I don't get the what made them think of that, all they do is crush the imagination of the small children playing with it the can't move the hand you can't take the lightsaber out of his hand the head doesn't come off the legs don't come off what the hell is the point of it? Sorry got a bit carried away there.
    Anyway the droids and turret are also a nice touch to add to the feeling that they're in a battle.

    But the overall thing i love about this set is the fact there's so much room to move with it you could literally have about 10 - 15 clones on the inside and at least half a dozen more on the top, in fact I've recently fitted out the main inside area with chairs for my army.
    It's not only a fighting heavily armed tank it's also a perfect way to transport your clone army battlefield to battlefield.

    In conclusion you can't go wrong with this set whether you want it for a transport for your troops or some extra fire power for your clone army it will serve you well. There's also bonus features you won't find until you've built it like the many moveable hatches and the adjustable scout tower. One thing I really hate is Mace Windu and his light up light saber, I know I've al ready had a rant but it just sickens me that they thought about it and then did it, but at least they stopped, and i bought a mace without a light up lightsaber anyway. but what really makes me sad is the fact that lego are releasing a new clone turbo tank in 2010, I've had a look at the pictures and it's not nearly as presentable as this one. In the end if you don't have turbo tank get this one not the new one, this one is much better.

    PROS: +
    Has 4 clones :)
    massive wheels
    Suspension
    Hidden Features eg hatches
    plenty of space
    many uses

    CONS: -
    Mace Windu's lightsaber
    lego are releasing a new one and making a great set obsolete
