 details, fun, ways in, ways out June 25, 2008
I'm guessing the burnt orange and baige bricks are the stains like in the movie. Cool. I like to pretend the the crane is supposed to suck them up, again like the movie. The crane also can put them through the hatch.(the one left or right from the center, it depends witch side the crawler is on.) The hatch in the middle lifts off to let the crane on top, or so you can lift out the workshop. Lifting it out is easy, and can easily go back in. The Jawas have lots of tools. There is also a driver's hatch and a knob to turn the wheel thingies. There is a door too. The fun thing is, you can take other set figures and make mischeif around the crawler. Luke is a character I need to get, but that's okay, I can get him. This set is okay to leave just on a desk, table or open shelf, it is more fun anyway. Go have fun!
Very Nice May 21, 2008
As an adult who bought this set for myself, I'm not completely sure of how well it would work with kids. It is listed as 12+ on the age, and I'd definitely suggest NOT ignoring that. That said, this is one of the only highly detailed LEGO sets available that has clearly been designed with at least some thought towards play, instead of purely display.
For adult fans of LEGO, this is a great set. The finished product looks absolutely great.
Fantastic AND Disappointing May 2, 2008
This lego set was fantastic to build. It was exciting to see it come to shape step-by-step with my 5-year old son. It took six days but the final product...wow!...amazing! HOWEVER, it falls apart easily. That is such a disappointment. The floor especially. I am repairing it frequently for my son and even I break it up by accident sometimes.
 Too Fragile for play December 30, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
It looks amazing and would be a fabulous toy IF it did not take an entire day (or more) to build and IF it could be picked up, let alone moved, without falling apart. All lego sets of this type are somewhat fragile, but this one cannot even support its own weight without generous extra bracing (I hope you have a large bucket of extra plates handy). This is an adult display model, not a toy. It will tax the patience of any adult, let alone a kid, to build. It is definately not for any kid of any age that would actually try and play with it.
If you intend to buy this expensive kit for your child be aware that you will absolutely have to permanently glue at least the base plates and track assembly mounts at the very beginning of assembly or the whole thing will collapse the first time he/she pushes it over the table. Ours was also missing approximately 10 critical pieces (again, keep that big tub handy).
The Ultimate House on Wheels! December 31, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I just received this set for Christmas from my brother. Since I'm a big fan of LEGO's and Star Wars, I was very happy to receive this set.
This set has a huge part selection (1669 pieces) and takes about five or six hours to complete. This set includes several Jawa minifigs and is currently the only set that has the Jawa's. It also has several different droids and Uncle Owen but no Luke. Of course, pretty much every other Classic Star Wars LEGO set has Luke so no big loss there. This set also has hundreds of the unique technic link treads which are very hard to find.
Overall, this is a pretty good set. You can remove the workshop from the body of the Sandcrawler so you can access the various droids. It also has a hatch for the Jawa driver and a ramp that lowers so you can remove the crane section. However, there is a lot of wasted space in the set. I would have thought LEGO would have been able to use more of the dead space in the vehicle because it's essentially a big castle set on wheels. Also, while I really like the unique track design and steering mechanism, it doesn't roll that well on carpet.
Despite the few drawbacks and expensive price, this is a pretty solid set and looks very similar to the Sandcrawler in Episode IV. If you're a Star Wars fan, you will like this set. It's a must-have for your Tatooine layout.
