Despite being a licenced set, this is still a throwback to the golden age of Lego space sets. In these days of simplistic designs, the Snowspeeder is refreshingly complex, and marvellous attention is paid to detail - from a distance you could almost swear you were looking at one of the real models used in 'Empire Strikes Back', and there's even a little computer screen showing an approaching AT-AT, so full marks for accuracy on all counts. By way of a cherry on the cake, this set comes with one of those little radar-dish guns used against the giant walking machines. Whether you're a Star Wars fan or not, this is well worth adding to any Lego collection.

Considering the snowspeeder is one of my favorite Star Wars craft, this set was a must -- and well worth the price. The design is very faithful to the movie version of the ship, and there are many eye-catching details to enhance its appearance. While I will never regret this purchase, I must (as always!) offer a few criticisms. First, the rear gunner compartment is HUGE, and it adds several unnecessary layers to the back of the ship. In fact, I would say the ship has a bad case of hemorrhoids. The sad part is that this was completely avoidable; if the Lego techs had left out the rather useless cargo compartment, the gunner's space could have moved forward, creating a far more attractive (and realistic) vessel. Both fore and rear compartments are a little cramped, so I hope Luke and Dack don't get sent on an extended mission. Also, I think that by removing the cargo hold, the hatches on the ship could have been more accurately rendered.

But, hey - in spite of these flaws, I still ain't askin' for a refund!

This is one of the best sets on the market. It was also my first, and it's what got me hooked. The Luke Skywalker is kind of boring, because he's in almost every set. The little opening cockpit on the back is cool and it has the little rotating tow cable launcher. It is very accurate and has very few cheater pieces. Even a detailed radar of the AT-ATs!

man,this toy rocks!!!!it is fun playing with the other vehicles with this one!one of the characters in this set is named dack,and my name is dack too!any one should collect it!and pretend to make it shoot and,boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The snow speeder in a very neat ship that I think looks really cool. The back even opens as well as the front to put your two rebellions in to fight the empire. As you probably have heard it can fit lukes lightsaber in the storage box in the back. It's a neat toy and you can use your imagination and let your minds go into the star wars generation!

i think the snowspeeder is one of the best star wars
sets, the laser gun could be a bit better but the
snowspeeder rocks, it comes with luke, dack, and
a cool trooper.i think both the dack and the trooper
heads are one of a kind. definently a good set

The SnowSpeeder is an excellent all round toy. It is very durable, it is one of the few that the pieces have not fallen off during continual movement. It teaches good design concepts and how to fit them in such a small area. It is also a good representation of the actual Speeder except that they put 2 cockpit openings instead of the one displayed in the movie.

As a kid, the snowspeeder was second only to the X-wing as my favorite Star Wars toy. Lego has done a great job recreating that toy. This is a nice set, although not Lego's best. However, it is pretty neat and fun to build and play with. It comes with both Luke and Dack mini-figs and has all sorts of extras on the ship. In addition, there is a rebel ground trooper.

My only real complaint with the set is the rear area (gunner's station). It is built larger and a bit different than the movie version, which makes the set a bit bigger (and probably adds to the cost). Overall, it doesn't detract that much form the set - if at all.

This is a good starter set for Lego Star Wars.

$65?! I bought this back in 1999 for like $12! It's an awesome lego, but no way would I spend that much for it.

Great design!Like the movie this is the pick for a Star Wars Lego! (Needs a harpoon)

nice Lego
