This set is small but fun. It's cool how it has injured Anakin Skywalker and capeless (not that its a bad thing!) Darth Vader minifigs when they are in fact the same person! The dinky little Medical Droid comes with tools and you can have it drilling Anakin or Vader. Heres a little trick you can do with the minifigs:Take of the heads of the minifigs. Then put injured Anakin's head on Darth Vader's body. Have the Med Droid hold Darth Vaders helmet. Than you can do the part of the film when the helmet gets put on Vader. Good things come in small packages, and this set is no exception.

Surprisingly, I never saw this set until a few days after I saw the movie, and I was thinking this would be a good LEGO set. Turns out, LEGO was a little lazy I guess. Also, this is not a good display set.

The operation table is acually supposed to be a bit larger compared to the minifig, though I should complain, since isn't usually all that correct in size. Instead of calling lots of Star Wars sets "minifig scale," I came up with the term "SW System Scale," since almost all Star Wars sets are slightly smaller than they should be, and this set is no exception. Anyway, back to the LEGO. It would have been nice if LEGO spent a bit more time on the table, 1 or 2 more medical droids, and maybe a bit more scenery. Also, this set does not have a completely strong color scheme, most of it in the movie is black or grey, not brown or tan.

If all this was fixed, at a $15 price, it would turn out nicely, compared to the somewhat cheap $10 set we actually get. Then it would be worth it.

About the minifigs, it would be nice for parts if Vader had a cape and lightsaber, but those were not in this part of the movie, so point for LEGO in accuracy there. Unfortunately, LEGO lost this point by not removing Anakin's legs and an arm like in the movie. But, if that was the case, play value would drop. But for parts, this good a pretty good set. Droid arms are always useful, and so are other pieces in this set.

So, if you want a good $10 set, don't get this, get the LEGO Clone Scout Walker, much better set. Hope my review helped.

Darth Vader's Transformation is an interesting little set that includes minifigures of Anakin and Darth Vader and shows the transformation.

The main reason I bought this set was for Darth Vader. I have always wanted one and this was the cheapest way to get him. So for only seven bucks it's not too bad. Also, you get an Episode Three Anakin. Just add some hair and he's good to go. I made my own Episode Three sets so Anakin was a good bonus.

The Set itself is pretty simple. Put the burnt Anakin on one side, Darth Vader on the other and then turn the spinner. The medical droid is pretty neat as you can have him drilling Darth Vader's suit. It's pretty small and compact, which appeals to me as I like little sets.

This set gives you a cheap chance to get two great minifigures; though the set itself is pretty good.

Ok, so I'm not a kid but I did see the original Star Wars (A New Hope) in theaters when I was growing up. This is a great product and for the Star Wars junkie a must have. I find myself glancing at it here and there as it sits on my desk at home. Lots of fun for less then ten bucks!

I was kind of surprised to find that the most significant element/scene of Episode III was portrayed in a 53-piece, reasonably-priced (i.e. "cheap") starter set. This is what Star Wars fans have been waiting for; what they've been dreaming of since 1977 or soon thereafter... Anakin becoming Vader. But since the movie isn't out yet, I suppose we don't know what the surroundings are like during the actual Anakin-Vader transformation. And this set gives--intentionally, I'm sure--absolutely no implication of what they will be like. I guess we're lucky to have gotten anything at all, right?

So there isn't much else that can be said about the Darth Vader Transformation set. It has a lot of good things going for it: it's inexpensive. It's essential to the Star Wars saga. And on a more comical note, it's funny to see "Anakin Skywalker" and "Darth Vader" pictured on the box as separate minifigs when, in fact, they are the same person. The only downfalls are that, sadly, it's kind of useless for displaying (because it's so small) and that it can only really be played with for about five minutes, at the most. But, hey, pick it up anyway... it's not everyday you can get a decent LEGO for under $10.

This toy is great! I saved up by doing work around my house and i spent on this.Its definetly a nice toy for everyone.it also has some cool characters like Darth Vader, Injured Anakin, and Vaders Medical droid(my personal figure).I'd say this is definetly worth the price!

this is awesome! other than making the transformation table, you can make this a giant gun type thing for darth vader.I wish it came with lightsabers and vaders cape. Still this is sweet!

This Darth Vader lego is awesome. its cool to see him change into Anakin to Vader. try putting the anakin head on the Darth Vader body. Then put the helmet on the Anakin head/Darth Vader body mini-fig. Viola-- then you have a darth vader with an anakin head under the helmet. The only thing i dont like about this set is that is dosent come with a lightsaber. But you could just buy another small set with a lightsaber. Thats what i did.

Hope my review will help you.

its awesome! it includes Anakin and Darth Vader

this set is good but Vaders helmet keaps falling off and thers no light up Lightsabers.And if thay did have light up lightsabers you shoud at least be abele to move the arm the lightsaber is in.Overall it's a good set to have for a colection

of episodes: 2,3,4,5,6. I'm going to get the ultiment dule

next.
