There's one number that stands out after you dump the contents of the Clone Turbo Tank out on the table: 801. Eight-hundred and one, as in, how many pieces just spilled out of the box. For those not familiar with LEGOs, well, it's probably the most LEGOs you've seen at once that have yet to become something. It's daunting and a bit mind-boggling.

That being said, once all the pieces come together (and they will, somewhere around two hours later), you'll doubtlessly be pleased: you've got yourself an AT-AT with wheels, ready to roll over Seperatists with the vanguard of the Clone Army.

The Clone Turbo Tank is oddly named; as I said before, it's an AT-AT with wheels. Perhaps somebody got tired of the pantheon of walker acronyms in the Star Wars universe (AT-ST, AT-TE, AT-AT, AAT), and said "okay, okay, enough with the acronyms!" I suppose you could call it the CTT - but don't, it's not a walker. It's a tank - a turbo tank.

The set itself is nothing short of amazing. The main set piece, the tank, is huge and trundles along with ten big wheels on four axles. The suspension is really neat, allowing the tank's body to roll on either side to nearly a 45 degree angle. I guess that's necessary for all the high-speed 'turbo' turns the tank will be making on the battlefield. The body is sturdy and covered with access plates; you can access the cockpit, the engine, the troop bay, and the rear utility area easily. The troop bay is massive - I haven't tried, but you could probably stuff ten troops in there. The cockpit has two seats, for whoever you make driver and General Veers.*

As for armament, the turbo tank has plenty. Apparently designed for wading into the midst of enemy formations, it has dual-mounted heavy blasters in the front and rear. For dealing with pesky starfighters, there's a cockpit-mounted turret and another mounted on the spine.

A unique aspect of the turbo tank is its "crow's nest", an adjustable lookout post located towards the rear. I don't know what kind of Clone Trooper would want to be up there - anyone in the lookout post is a choice target. The set comes with binoculars, so whichever clone trooper has been bad, give him the binoculars and tell him, "lookout post." He'll think twice before misbehaving in the future.

The set also comes with two other pieces of equipment - a speeder and a turret. The speeder is a nice add-on, and gives LEGO the excuse to package the BARC Trooper (a light green version of the famous Scout Trooper) with the set. The turret is reminiscent of the turrets in Empire Strikes Back, the ones that did such a very poor job of stopping the AT-ATs. Since the set's picture depicts a Battle Droid operating the turret, it's safe to say it will also do a poor job of stopping the Clone Turbo Tank.

Finally, the set includes a good variety of mini-figures. We get light-up lightsaber Mace Windu, yellow-pauldroned Clone Trooper (according to Star Wars lore, he's an officer), regular Clone Trooper, Jet Clone Trooper (this guy looks like he has the most fun of any Clone Trooper, ever), the aforementioned BARC Trooper, and the ever-inept duo of Battle Droids. My only real complaint with this set is there is no driver - obviously, anyone can sit in the cockpit, but having an AT-AT driver-style driver would have been nice.

So, if you find an AT-AT with wheels an attractive concept, swallow the $90 USD price tag and get rolling, Trooper!

* Set does not include General Veers.

The Clone Turbo Tank is an awesome toy! It comes with two battle droids, a Master Windu minifigure with a light-up lightsaber, four clones (one scout, two regular and one with an orange stripe).

The scout trooper gets a speeder bike that you build! The droids get a blaster, tri-pod gun, and a turret.

The tank itself is EXTREAMLY durable! It will only break if you crash it or drop somthing heavy on it.

The tank has an ajustable turret. The only problem is that the clone keeps falling out if you go too fast.

Overall I'd give this toy a 1,000,000,000 if the scale was that high.

This is a great toy, it will give you tons of fun!

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank (Toy)

As you may know already legos are very well made and high quality. I started in my lego collection with the rebel snow speeder. Then I saw this one. Then I price......my jaw dropped. $90 dollars for a tank. after some research though I this toy looked very fun and very,very very durable for a lego. I also like the little minifigures. The Mace Windu guy haas the "glow" lightsaber. It was funny pushing his head but the lightsaber is unitachible.It comes with many clones and things to do. But the only problem seems to be (as seen in other reviews) the scope thing doesn't seem to be that good. People say that it repeatidly falls over although I've never had that problem. Over all the turbo tank is very fun to play with and it is a great collection. But please remember if your reading this and your under 8 you my have some trouble doing it by yourself.
