Army builder set, "A Bigger Battle Pack"
I bought this just a week ago and paid 37€ for it. I wasn´t going to get this as a must-have, but when I found it I decided to take it.
Box/Instructions
This comes in a bigger box than the normal 35€ sets. The instructions were easy to follow.
Parts
This contains 176 parts and I feel that a little bit too less when I compare it to its price. But, you get great minifigures so it´s not such a big problem. It has some interesting parts and also stickers.
Minifigures
This comes with 5 minifigures.
Battle droid x2: Nice standard army builders
Super battle droid: Brings some heavy firepower to the battle on the droid side
Clone Trooper: Good Phase II army builder
Barriss Offee: Choose this or the one from Geonosian Cannon. If you like black, pick this and if you like blue more then just pick the other if Barriss is your reason to buy this set.
The build
I had no problems, I think and the building was overall easy and fast.
The completed model
Some parts are dropping and the model is a little small when compared to the price but it is a good swamp speeder and bigger than the swamp speeder from Kashyyyk Troopers.
Overall opinion
I recommend to pick this if you find it as an interesting set with the price less than 40€. Now Amazon.com sells it with price 37$ and in Ebay it´s avaible in 15€/20$.

Destroy all Droids with the new Republic Swamp Speeder!
Here's my review of the set LEGO Star Wars 8091 Republic Swamp Speeder.
This set is a Special Edition Set, and rarer now.The Minifigures:
* Battle Droid - Beige.
* Battle Droid - Beige.
* Super Battle Droid - Dark Grey.
* Clone Trooper - Phase 2 Armour, New Design Torso.
* Barris Offee - Black Hood, Black Cape, Blue Lightsaber.The Build:
The build will take about 20 Mins to complete. In this version of the Republic Swamp Speeder, it has a turning mechanism on the underside that controls the rear turbofan, the steering wheels, and the flick-fire missiles. The use of this mechanism improves the set play, and also lifts the set up as if it were hovering.
A good use of parts are here too, the curves are used to great effect on the front and back. These parts are good for MOC's, and Custom Creations. The spare parts are god as well, some extra battle droid arms, extra lever and 'light' red 1X1 "dot".
Now, On to the Pros and Cons.Pros:
* New Barris Offee Minifigure.
* New Design torso on the Clone Trooper.
* Great selection of parts.
* You can stage a battle with 2 types of Minifig's.Cons:
* Barris Offee's minifig hands get 'wobbly' easily.
* Overpriced.
* STICKERS!Conclusion:
It's great. Get it. This Special Edition Set is better than past ones, and with the selection of parts, minifigures and techniques used, it's worthwhile. The finished set looks, sleek, and definitely has that Star Wars Authenticity that we crave. 5/5.

Needed to be $20 cheaper.
I bought this set on sale about a month ago, and after I had completed the very short build I was still annoyed at how much I payed for the small speeder. The speeder looks great, and comes with perfectly detailed minifigures. The swamp speeder could have been a brilliant set if it wasn't wrecked by the expensive price.
'pros'
minifigures
lots of playability
detail on swamp speeder
good to see another pack containing an ep.3 clone
detail on both control panels
can fit about 4 minifigures sitting at the back of the speeder
'cons'
price
no clone swamp troopers

Republic Swamp Speeder is so cool
I got this set at toysrus for 29.99 and I must say this is a cool set and it is a limited edition set so they won't be out for that long.
PROS:
5 minfigs
New minfig and new clone trooper
Easy to buildCON:
- the price
I will agree with everybody that this is a little over price because this set has 176 pcs/pzs and comparing to Hyena Droid Bomber that has 232 pcs/pzs for 20.00 dollars and Droid Tri-Fighter with 269 pcs/pzs for 25.00 dollars.Overall this is a great set and I will recommend this to every lego star wars fan.
