Editorial Review

In one of those movie scenes that would have never been possible before the rapid improvement of digital imaging quality, veteran Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by a real actor, takes on General Grievous, a sort of asthmatic android bad guy, who is electronically generated. Additionally, Obi-Wan chases Grievous while riding a huge lumbering electronically generated beast while Grievous tries to get away in an electronically generated space bicycle. Fortunately for us back on Earth, the entire affair has been recreated in the highly tangible world of Lego as 111 pieces show both characters, their preferred transportation, and light sabers. And since it is Lego, you’re free to insert pirates, astronauts, or whoever else you have in the big Lego box to make the scenario more interesting. --Charlie Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Set. Great Price, April 2, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase (Toy)

This is set is very pleasing to the Lego and Star Wars fan. It includes a General Grievous minifig (only set to get it in) and an Obi-Wan Kenobi (non-light up lightsaber version). It includes Greivous' Wheel-Bike Transport and a bird/lizard creature that Obi-Wan rides on. One of the things I do not like about this set is that the lightsaber hilts are a gray color as opposed to the traditional silver. I also am not a fan of the flesh tone color that Obi-Wan has, only because I feel it disrupts the continuity in lego. What I do like about this set is Greivous. Lego did a terrific job of bringing the 4-Armed General to life. I strongly reccomend this set. It includes 2 great minifigs and comes with 5 light sabers (3 blue, 2 green). Lego has started to make all jedi figures in other sets with light up lightsabers. Which means you cannot remove the lightsaber from their hand.

Good challenge for my 8 year old to put together... not too difficult as to be frustrating but hard enough to make him think a bit.

He loves Star Wars so he has spent a good amount of time playing with the toy after putting it together.

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase (Toy)

This was the last Episode III Lego set I bought, simply because I didn't really like the way it looked. Sure, people say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but through the years and the hundreds of thousands of bricks I have learned you can usually tell when a Lego set isn't going to completely satisfy. But I bought it anyway. And while this set has its moments, the General Grievous Chase is no outshining star. With just 111 pieces, there isn't much substance; and therefore there isn't a lot to get excited about.

The real treasure (and main reason for even buying this set) here is General Grievous himself, who comes equipped with four lightsabres (2 green, 2 blue). His body is basically a glorified Episode I droid, but white and with two extra arms to hold all the lightsabres. (On a completely out-of-context note, the body used here for GG would have been perfect for all those previous droids, since it allows for the arms to move away from the body. That way, their weapons could have gone from side to side... you'll see what I mean if you buy this.) I guess all I could think about when I was putting him together was how cool an actual duel between Obi-Wan and Grievous would be, in film, with the plentiful lightsabres. Obi-Wan's minifig is in standard form, while his giant lizard-thing is a rather "puffed up" version of the Mos Eisley Cantina's infamous Dewback. It's actually quite ugly. Assembling all this took me under 20 minutes, which is expected with such a small piece count. Oh, and trying to figure out how to reposition the legs of the wheelbike (correctly) so it could roll took an addition two to three minutes.

All in all, the General Grievous Chase is an average Star Wars Lego set; nothing too special, and certainly not among the best of the Episode III line. Still, if not for simply finalizing your collection, Mr. Grievous is probably worth the price alone. This set is very durable, a decent displayer and reasonably priced, considering the aforementioned pluses. Let the force be with you.
