This toy is fun when used in a battle. I to not reccomend this toy if you dont have a clone vehicle to battle against. What I do like about it is that it comes with a pack (four) of battle droids. Also it includes a spider droid. This I hated because it is extremely hard to position its legs to stand on the ground. The hail-fire droid on the other hand is capable of firing 8 "flick" missles. Do not expect this toy is a good missle launcher! It can only shoot them 4-6 inches which is not a lot. Do not buy this toy if you expect to let it sit and look at it every once in a while. Buy it if you love to battle star wars vehicles and characters.

Bought this for my 9 year old grandson, who adores Lego and has for years. My grandson LOVED it and was thrilled to get it as one of his Christmas presents. He had it built within a very short period of time. Because these kids get so good at assembling Lego, (and I am not sure if this is already the case) I would like to see Lego develop some kits for higher levels of expertise, and more challenging for those Lego maniacs like my grandson who can go for "zero to 60 in 3 seconds flat!" Didn't matter to him, he was happily playing with it all day. God bless Lego--it has kept kids thoroughly entertained for decades.

I loved playing with LEGOs as a kid, and I love Star Wars, and so does my husband - so when my husband and I got engaged we registered for a bunch of Star Wars/Indiana Jones LEGO sets. I know it seems like a weird registry gift, but why not?

To our surprise, we actually did get quite a few LEGO sets from our friends, and I think so far this is my favorite - it has some really neat pieces and it was fun to put together. It's now on display on our DVD shelf. The missle launcher is fun too :) My husband really liked putting together the treads for the hailfire droid's wheels.

The Hailfire Droid & Spider Droid (set 7670) is a fairly amusing set. I had collected LEGOs when I was younger (being now 24) and have not purchased any new sets until just recently. I saw the mid size Millennium Falcon at walmart and that sparked my interest in LEGOs again. I wanted this set because it just looks freaking cool. I just wanted the hailfire droid. I could care less about the spider droid (I assembled it anyways). The big wheels and cool treads made the Hailfire droid very attractive to me. When I finished putting the whole thing together, I found that the large clear discs that make the wheels are securely fastened in place and do not rotate whatsoever. Well, that just won't do. I wanted it to roll. I tried simple different configurations to get the wheels to roll. One method worked a little but the outer fender would wobble loose. I decided to grind off the studs on the clear plates so that the wheels would spin freely on their axels. *NOTE* I used a motorized Dremel to shave off the studs and I used Eye protection. Power tools should never be operated without adult supervision.
After smoothing the plates down, I reassembled the set and I am very happy with it. The model rolls along as it should. The spider droid is very simple to assemble and looks funny. The set comes with four minifigs, three battle droids (one being a yellow chested Droid Commander) and one Super battle droid (which really looks dumb) The battle droids all have SE-14 Blaster pistols.
Corollary: The assembly of the wheels asks you to use 40 links to make the treads. 40 links proves too loose. 39 links works perfectly.
There are a few extra pieces left over after assembly.
This set is really nice.

This is an okay set. It comes with a commander droid, (you can only find these in one or two other sets) spider droid and hailfire droid, and a super battle droid and two battle droids.
pros:
-commander droid
-Powerful
cons:
-boring to play with alone
-loops around the wheels is tedios

A decent set, get it to strengthen your droid army, not to play alone or model.

This toy is fun but the halfire part is less than the spider droid it has a good num of battle droids but the super battle droid keeps falling down! It is great for expanding your sepertist army! (the trade federation, dark side or whatever you want to call it)the set is under valued! It is worth [...] dollars! You have to buy it before LEGO notices! lol. but i like it!

My grandson and I put this together and enjoyed a great time together. He is a Star Wars nut and is always playing with it. Lego makes a fun and durable toy. I recomend any Lego toy.

My son received this as a gift and it was a lot of fun for him to put together and he also really liked the mini-figures that came with it. It is now displayed proudly in his bedroom.

Bought for grandson. He is starwars trekky. Loves this type of Leggo put-together toy. Helps children get away from video games. Will buy similar toys from Amazon.

This review is the opinion of myself and my 11 year old son:~) This toy may look and sound cool but you are highly mistaken. I tried to build it but the wheels collapsed . Plus when I was playing with the bottom of the middle part broke, but only a few pieces fell off.But when I built it for the second time it worked!!Maybe you'll have better luck than me.
