    Finally Got It!

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

    I've been waiting to get this since it came first came out and now that I have it, i'm very pleased. I waited to get it, and was able to snag one off Amazon for about $22.50 with free shipping, so that was a plus too. After its built, it isn't extremely big, but it really has that menacing, insectoid feel of a Neimodian shuttle, and with a few modifications I think I can make it better.

    First off, the build was fun and involved not only a large selection of familiar parts, but good ones at that. The set is mostly grey with some color here and there, mostly from a few brown, blue and black bricks, but also the stickers(which i'm not opposed to, by the way). Even though I would have loved the colors to have been mostly grey and blue for acuracy, the way it looks on the outside is great. My only peeve is the one royal blue brick they snuck in the inside.

    After its built, the model is a little small but the fin gives it a large size. The cockpit and body having been connected, it isn't tiny and with one piece inside the cockpit you can make the ever so slight wiggling of the front stop, if you're worried about that. After a few tweaks to the landing gear, it really can 'stand up' without sitting on the body, but its a bit wobbly. It really is fantastic, and I love the sliding back doors. The only thing is that there's supposed to be a landing ramp that comes down from the back over the doors, so the people can exit (also, the interior back really only fits 1 person). So really, lego could have made the set a little bigger to improve on its accuracy, but I think that after a few tweaks to the structure, it will be up to snuff.

    Lastly, the figs are great, Nute Gunray makes another much needed Separatist leader and you can decide Onaconda Farr's allegiance. Then you get a pilot droid(my first), and two more battle droids for your army. (there's also two extra 'blaster' arms to mod older battle droids)

    Overall pros:

    Nice model

    Great for separatist army/shuttle

    figs are awesome

    Cons:

    A bit small

    Thanks for reading-ShatteredGnome out

  • A Pilot Droid!

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    This is a good set. I would recommend it if you don't have a lot of Star Wars aliens, which I don't. Anyhow, Pros and Cons.

    Pros:
    1. Nute Gunray and Ocando Farr (did I spell that right?)
    2. A pilot droid! ( I think that only comes in 4 sets)
    3. Two plain, old, and silly battle droids
    4. Landing gear
    5. Hatch opens up to put pilot droid in
    6. Nice idea of turning a gear and then the door opens

    Cons:
    1. 30$?! !?%$#

    Overall a good set.

  • A Very Good Little Ship

    Written by (Unspecified) in Canada,

    Let me just start by saying that I think a lot of people would probably write this set off from how it looks on the box. I had my doubts at first, but after I finished the build I was quite happy with the result. I could see this set being a little underrated due to its size (it is smaller than I expected for the price) but does come with some very unique minifigs; notably the Viceroy Nute Gunray from Episodes I - III. He's a great minifig to have if you're big into the Trade Federation's Droid Armies like I am. After all, you need someone to command those droids, don't you? Of course you do! (Note to the LEGO Makers: you should release the Droid Control Ship from Episode I!)

    In Canada, this Separatist Shuttle costs around $50.00 and for the price alone, I would almost say it's not worth it. The loading bay sliding doors rattle very slightly from time to time but it's so minor I won't even count that as a flaw here. Simply put, the ship's mechanics are brilliantly designed. All in all, I'm very happy I bought this set.

    A nice addition to your star fleet, if your wallet can handle it.

    Pros:
    Minifigs: Nute Gunray, Onaconda Farr, Battle Droid (x2), Battle Droid Pilot
    Unique Sliding Doors and Landing Gear

    Cons:
    Small Size
    Price

  • Not bad not bad whatsoever.

    Written by (Unspecified) in United States,

    So when I got it I was pretty lucky because it was the last one at the lego store. But anyway on to the review.

    First of all the figures. Nute Gunray is exclusive so obviously he's pretty cool. If you want a droid commander this is probably the cheapest set with some one to command your droid army! Ocanda Farr is exclusive as well the only con is that he has a very short head making him very short compared to Nute gunray with his tall hat. The droids are average but a nice addition because first of all you need some one to drive it. And second you have 2 droids to escort Gunray.

    Now on to the ship allot bigger then i expected. Pros are the landing gear, the color scheme, it has nice landing gear, a passenger seat and pilot seat, and the technic-like opening back door. The only con is the stick-like piece falls off allot.

    so there you have it. Definitely worth it for the many mini figs, the color scheme, the size, 2 seats, and the technic-like doors
