Editorial Review

Although he is evil and wreaks all sorts of havoc all over the galaxy far, far away, it’s hard not to feel just a little bit sorry for General Grievous from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. We suspect the whole cocky thing he does is really just a front, masking his own insecurities, plus he is an android with respiratory problems (kind of strange when you think about it) and while other bad guys get to drive those awesome star fighters, Grievous is stuck with a bike. A bike! It kind of gives you an idea of how Darth Sidious really feels about him. Said bike is recreated here in toy form as the included Grievous figure can sit in the center sphere as the two wheels spin around him. There are a pair of legs to lower down, affording a clambering option, as well as articulated claws and a spring-loaded projectile. --Charlie Williams

Product Description

Cool action vehicle rolls into attack with adjustable claws, fold-down legs and a firing missile launcher! The General Grievous wheel bike is a custom-designed mobile attack vehicle. He sits in the center sphere, and the wheel revolves around him in driving mode. The four legs are used in walking mode and to climb vertical surfaces, such as the sinkholes on Utapau, where Grievous battles Obi-Wan Kenobi on Boga. This awesome attack vehicle is geared up for action. Roll General Grievous forward into battle. Position the adjustable claws and movable legs for walking or attacking. The blaster even fires a real missile. Wheel yourself into the middle of the greatest battle the galaxy has ever seen. Includes General Grievous action figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Exlusive" Figure is Crap, But Everything Else Looks Good, April 21, 2005

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle E3 Sv01 Grievous Wheel Bike (Toy)

For the most part we, the consumers, purchase a VEHICLE set for the vehicle, not an extra pack in meant to draw in unwary buyers. So listing the absolutly terrible "Exclusive"Greivous as a downfall for the set as a whole is just picky. The vehicle in itself (the main attraction of the package), isn't all bad. Sure, it isn't the greatest of vehicles but it is very likely the only wheel bike that will come out, and you can bet that the wheel bike will hold a special place in the movie (f.y.i. the Obi-Wan Greivous chase scene), so that alone makes it worth buying. Don't let the other reviews make this package out to be absolute crap, after all, it's a plastic vehicle made for playing with; NOT made for perfect acuracy. It's out there to be fun to play with along with your other 3/4 inch figures, and it does that job exceedingly well. So what if it's balance isn't flawless, you purchase it to play with, not display (at least most people do). Bottom line: enjoy it for what it is: a good representation of the new movie vehicle. Not what you THINK it should be. This is a good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars This toy is hot and totally underrated get one and see what I mean, January 22, 2006

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

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle E3 Sv01 Grievous Wheel Bike (Toy)

I read the reviews for this toy and put off buying it as a result which I regret in hindsight. I usually feel the reviews are a pretty accurate representation of the toy but this is one case when I was sorry I placed too much value on the reviews and held off buying one. I am a avid collector and love this stuff. This toy is hot and don't be mis lead by the negative reviews as I was. When I brought it home after I constructed it at my office my 2 sons thought it was wicked cool. They are 12 and 11. After I saw the first one constructed I bought 3 more for my collection. Don't make the mistake I made before they are sold out. You will not be sorry I assure you.

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle E3 Sv01 Grievous Wheel Bike (Toy)

The vehicle itself is OK but the figure was a waste. The figure can't even stand up straight! It doesn't fit right in the cockpit! And the claws, the don't move properly. It said on the package that it moves so great and the claws fold, yeah right!
