" Put it this way, Darth Vader + good looking TIE fighter = sweet set! Yep, it features the lord of the sith himself and his Tie Fighter, or for LEGO boffins, his TIE figher advanced X1. Personally, I enjoy everything about this ship. It has the correct price, look and amount of features. The pros and cons then...
PROS:
Darth Vader - this guy has been modified since he was last in the shops back in 6006. His chest piece is now more detailed.
Bent wings - they look cool!
Flick missiles - good but could be better...
Cockpit - genius nothing more to say.
Good pricing - for £30, it's very good value

" This set is amazing! Packed with tiny details, I absolutely adore this set!
ACCESSORIES:
All the little features that make up the marketplace are so small and sweet. Firstly, the little shop where you can buy fish and apples looks great. I love the sloped roof of the hut and the baskets with the apples, fish and flowers are great additions. The table is pretty ordinary, but the gold plate is rare, as it the turkey, which looks awesome! The weapons rack is also cool. However, I am quite disappointed with the tree, which is constantly falling apart. I have been waiting forever for a horse, so I was delighted when the horse and cart was included in this set! The minifigures are unique and I really enjoyed the birds and the cows and the tiny frog!
THE YELLOW BUILDING: The yellow building looks great and is the easier of the two buildings to build. The blacksmith shop is fantastic and LEGO have been ingenious with their little, "turn the wheel outside to power the blacksmith's hammer" feature! The rooms at the top are great and the detail on the fireplace and eating table is especially striking.
THE BLUE BUILDING: The second building was more difficult to build because the windows kept falling apart. However, the finished product is very impressive. The colour scheme is great and the sign outside is very detailed. As for the inside, the bed looks beautiful and the make-up table is a nice little addition. The pub on the ground floor is a little bit ordinary, but is nice all the same.
OTHER STUFF: This set is great value for money - 1601 pieces for £70 is amazing and it also provides play for hours. You can make countless story lines it.
So to recap:
PROS:
Impressive buildings
Great colour scheme
Brilliant market place
Attention to detail
Great animals
Good playibility and mostly good durability.
Rare pieces like gold plate, sloped roof pieces, blacksmith wheel and chest of money.
Great value for money.

CONS:

Should have had more water by the blacksmith shop instead of just a tiny 6x4 piece.

" This set is brilliant!
THE ASTRONAUGHT: The red astronaught looks really cool. The oxygen tanks at the back are good too.
THE FIREFIGHTER: This minifigure is so different to the new firemen! With a belt and golden buttons, I prefer this version!
THE OCTAN GUY: Another cool figure.
THE ROBBER: I really like his moustache - it makes him look more like a shady criminal!
THE MAD SCIENTIST: This guy actually has a double sided face! He looks really unique and that smile is spooky!
Overall, if you like old minifigures, get this set.
If you don't have any yet, get this set because it is awesome! "

" Ahhhhh, a beautiful limited edition set - classic LEGO brilliance. It was definitely worth the £40 it cost.
PROS:
7752 comes with four minifigures, including a nice pilot droid and two Magnaguard Droids. But what tops this set in the minifigure field is the newly-designed Count Dooku, equipped with his cloak and his Lightsaber with a cool bent silver hilt!
The set is quite movie accurate and it has a lot of features, even if half of them never appeared in the films. The back cockpit holding the sleek, beautifully designed speeder is cleverly done and I am particularly impressed with the accurate colour scheme, which makes the set look all the more brilliant. The fact that the ship hasn't broken once, even though I accidentally forgot to put in a few big pieces in the interior part of the ship, shows how supported the ship is.
With the wings extended, the ship looks fantastic (I am not sure if this is meant to be the parachute type thing in the films. If not, then LEGO are evil to forget it!). The front cockpit seating the Pilot Droid is neat.
CONS:
Well, I'll start off by saying that Count Dooku's hair is the most ridiculous ever released by LEGO! Also, although it it an interesting flick fire missile system with a genius design, it isn't very effective at all. And erm...WHERE EXACTLY IS THE SAILER? There isn't a parachute to go with the set!
Overall, this set has a wonderful design, brilliant minifigures (apart from the hair), a movie accurate colour scheme and some lovely features. It is totally worth the £40 charged for it. No wonder it was a limited addition!!
I hope this review has been helpful...

" What a set!!!
PROS:
The Dropship is cool, easy to build and comes with some rare pieces. A Shadow trooper and three Stormtroopers are included in this set, making it a brilliant army builder! The detachable troop bay is a lovely feature, and it doesn't fall off when you don't want it to, which is what I thought might happen.

CONS:
The cockpit piece often falls off and the set should have come with an extra Stormtrooper to fill in the gap on the bay.

" This is a great set to start your LEGO pirates collection!
The minifigures are cool and they are very detailed. The cannon works so well - I managed to fire mine about 10 feet once! The little wall is very sweet, and it looks great when the cannon destroys it!
Buy this set before it sells out and believe me you won't be disappointed!

" If you couldn't get the Hoth echo base a few years ago (like me), get this set now! It is a great army builder and everything except the price is awesome!
THE MINIFIGURES: This set is bursting with amazingly detailed and rare minifigs. You get Han Solo with his Hoth gear - the hood looks great! Then you get two Hoth rebels. They look fantastic and their visors are cool. The snowtroopers are great - their helmets are so detailed. Finally, the tauntaun looks good but it is a shame that it can't move ist legs.
THE TURRET: Not much to say about this. The flick missiles are cool and so is the turret itself.
THE MAIN BIT: The big part of the set looks realistic and LEGO have done a good job here! The killing feature is unique and usually works. The general colour scheme and accuracy of this set is very good. The cannon that the snowtroopers have looks cool, but doesn't do anything.
OTHER COMMENTS: The set is quite expensive for what it has - 155 pieces for £20 isn't that good value. The build was very easy and is good for beginners. Plus the instructions were clear.
So, to recap:
PROS:
Great minifigs.
Good colour scheme.
Easy build
Flick missiles work.
Turret looks good.
Dieing feature is good and it works

Overall, a good set that is a little overpriced, but you can play with is forever. Buy is while stocks last. Come on LEGO, release the rebel control room and the Snowspeeder again and then people can have the whole collection!

" I'm not sure about this set. It's brilliant, but it has some major flaws.
PROS:
THE MINIFIGURES: the set comes with four minifigures, including a rare Droid Commander and a Super-Battle Droid. These minifigures make this set a brilliant army builder.
THE DROIDS: The Hailfire droid rolls very well on rough surfaces and it is movie accurate in the colour scheme. The Spider Droid looks brilliant when it stands up properly and the blasters and the moving canons are nice additions. The way the Hailfire Droid can be positioned in different ways is clever and the Droid is sturdy.
CONS:
Quite a few cons, especially for such a small set. The Hailfire droid doesn't roll well on smooth surfaces and it is an absolute nightmare to get the Spider Droid to stand properly.

Considering that these cons are rather annoying, I rated this set 3 out of 5.

" This is a fantastic set!
THE MINIFIGURES: This set comes with the Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker amd R2-D2. Nothing much to say about them.
THE SHIP: The ship itself is cool and has a lot more features than you would expect for £20. It has wings that fold down one notch, giving it a cool wedged-shape. The ship is made up of yellow and grey pieces, with a few orange pieces in the interior.
THE FEATURES: The flick missiles are fun and they work quite well. The wings are more or less symmetrical. R2-D2 goes in a space in the centre of the ship. Some LEGO Technic pieces are connected in a line to R2-D2's hatch. When you puch the button-type thing at the back, the last piece in the line is pushed upwards, pushing R2 out of the space. And that is his ejector seat.
A recap then...
PROS:
Flick missiles that work.
R2's ejector seat.
Colour scheme.
Minifigures.
Bent Wings
