5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and an Excellent Value, March 5, 2006

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Fighter (Toy)

This Lego kit is an excellent value. The kit builds a very solid A-Wing fighter that features movable guns mounted at the tip of each wing and a cockpit canopy that a person can raise toward the front of the A-Wing to reveal a green-suited pilot and a Lego block with a simulated horizon on it. As with many recent Lego kits, this kit features four decals.

Also included in this kit are a technician and a cargo hauler. The cargo hauler has smooth round pads on the bottom that allows someone to move the hauler on most surfaces.

Unlike some Legos in this series, the A-Wing has relatively few parts that a person might easily knock off in play. The engine parts behind the A-Wing are probably the most easily detached pieces, and those parts are surrounded by other pieces. If you are looking to make a diorama, you may wish to buy several of these kits because this kit looks so good.

This kit was relatively easy to build, and most builders in the target age range of 7 to 12 years old should be able to build this kit in under an hour.

We have enjoyed Legos for decades, and the Star Wars Legos have been especially interesting to us as we are also fans of Star Wars. This particular Star Wars Lego kit is an excellent value for the price, and is a perfect gift for children of all ages 7 and above.

4.0 out of 5 stars I have more than one!, July 1, 2006

By 

Chase Martin - See all my reviews

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Fighter (Toy)

I love the original trilogy. The A-wing was an awesome fighter. I loved it's sleek design and speed. The original Lego A-wing wasn't the best set around. I love this new re-design.

This set features the use of white and maroon parts, different from the original grey and red. I actually like this color scheme and if you don't, well, you can change it. The model itself is awesome! The only flimsy part is the back fins, which don't fall off all of the time. Swoosh away with this model! Or display it. Although the nose isn't movie accurate, and the stickers are another dread, they're only minor problems. (Hey you may even like stickers.)Another problem is that the pilot lounges in the cockpit and the computer screen, I don't like either one of those. The cart that comes with it is basic. It's simple yet effective.

The figures are pretty cool. The smilies I don't like but I modded that. The technician has a cool torso and wears a helmet that he can skateboard with! The pilot is dressed in a sleek green with a nice racing helmet. Not movie-accurate helmet but still cool.

This is a very good set. It's only $[...] more than the original and comes with more pieces and accuracy. It's definately worth the money. Buy multiples, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT MODEL, February 17, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Fighter (Toy)

My mom got this for Valentine's day this year, as soon as I unwrapped it and BEGGED to be able to stay up later than usual, I locked myself in my room and, in less than 45 minutes, it was completed, "car" and all. It is Durable, Fun, and easy to put together.

Bottom line: This is THE must-have model for all you LEGO Star Wars lovers!
