LEGO Star Wars - Assassin Droids Battle Pack - Set 8015 - Review
The Assassin Droids Battle Pack set (8015) is a LEGO Star Wars set which came out in 2009. It comes with 4 minifigs and 94 pieces. This set does include no decals and there're no mistakes in the instructions and no missing pieces.
Minifigures:
Assassin Battle Droids: The Assassin Battle Droids are very basic. They come with Battle Droid legs, arms and torsos. The heads of them are made out of a hand from an Exo-Force robot, an orange stud and a cone. There're 2 black and 3 silver Assassin Battle Droids in this set and 3 of them come with a blaster.
Speeder Bike:
The speeder bike has a very cool design which I haven't seen in the movies "Star Wars - Episode I-VI". It's supposed to be part of the Clone Wars TV show. There're 2 flick-missiles on each side and on the front and on the back where the droids sit you can see a blaster which does sviwel.
Positive:
Great pieces which you can use for brickfilms or MOC's
Nice starter set
Great army builder
No stickers
Negative:
Not so many play features
All in all, it's a great set to get, and I would highly recommend you to get this model. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website: www.klokriecher.de

Another good set
The Assassin Droid Battle Pack was a great set to add to my collection. I bought 2 of them for christmas and I recieved 2 for presents and I didn't return any. Why would I? The battle pack comes with 2 Black Assassin Droids and 3 silver ones. The speeder could fit 2 at a time and is easy to move around. It could have been a bit bigger for it's price, but other than that, I'd rate it a 5/5!
Pros:
5 assassin droids: 2 black, 3 silver
Speeder
easy to build
easy/fun to play with
good way to get more droids
Cons:
Price
Size
P.S. I like to occasionally use 1 of the silver assassins as IG-88! Try It!

Another Great Small Set
Now onto the Droid Battle Pack...my expectations were high for this set after building the Clone Battle pack; am I disappointed or does this set bring with it more fun to the table?
When paired with the Clone Trooper Battle Pack, you have in the makings, one of the best duos with tons of playability, let's got on with the review.
The Minifigs:
Like the Clone Trooper Pack, you get a few droids to control, only this time Lego gives you five rather than the four you got in the Clone pack, why? I do not know. Three of them are "Assassin Droids" and the other two are "ELITE Assassin Droids" , in my opinion, only a color change, but it is nice to know that Lego differentiates them nicely, along with some nice pieces. The minifigs in this set are okay at best, but they are not as posable as the the clones, and they can topple over if they are not stuck onto some stud plates or in the speeder.
The Build:
The build for this set is a little more complex than the clone walker in the other battle pack, but in my opinion, I think the speeder is way cooler than the walker, plus I love any speeder Lego makes, so therefore no bias there...
The speeder has two flickfires and they have a nice translucent purple missile head, which is a really nice and aesthetic touch.
Overall:
This is a great set, and it is even better when you have its other half, the clone trooper pack. The droids may not be what you might expect, but they are fun to battle with those clones. The speeder is the best part of the set, because if you have other droids, you can substitute them in for the assassin droids. The flickfire is nice and overall playability is what you will get with this set.
Pros:
-Speeder
-Flickfire
-More guns
-Plenty of good pieces
Cons:
-The droids may not be as good as the clone counterparts
-Price (do I need to even mention this anymore, $2 or so dollars cheaper is better)
So overall, a 5/5 for this set!

pros:
5 droids

trans purple pieces
I love the speeder

I really like this set so I give it a 5/5 or 10/10.2 out of 4 people thought this review was helpful.
£10 for a speeder and loads of exclusive figs? Nice.
This set is very easy to find and is very cheap (£10). The battle pack consists of a speeder which sits two droids, with forward and rear guns as well as flickfire missiles. The minifigures are three silver assassin droids (one with a sniper rifle) and two black 'elite' assassin droids. The black droids don't look elite to me.
PROS-
Great speeder
Flickfires work
Exclusive minifigs
Great new pieces
CONS-
Bendy bit on end of speeder: why couldn't LEGO usec a hard piece?
Black droids are no different to silver droids
Speeder, droids in an inexpensive way. What are you waiting for?1 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
