Lego "Shop @ Home" Description
Adventure on Tatooine…where it all began!

Recreate the moment the adventure began with this special-edition set, featuring an all-new landspeeder vehicle with a secret lightsaber compartment, a cast of droids and heroes, and a sandtrooper guard with a security droid.

Pros:
1. Very detailed
2. A place for every character
3. Great for traveling
4. Very accurate to the movie
6. A must have
7. NO STICKERS
8. With the droids that you are looking for.
Cons:
1. 1 Sand trooper instead of two
Remarks:
This set is quite a worth while set to own, It is fun to build and this is the first ever set that I have ever came in to ownership that has a c3-po minifig and a obi wan kenobi. I do like the detail of the set and on the minifigures them selves. I say bravo to Lego group for this and good thing that there are not any of those lousy stickers.

In this set you can re-create Luke,Obi-wan and the droids getting past the security Sandtroopers in Mos Eisly spaceport.
Pros - Good characters
- Easy to assemble
- Detail
- Sturdy Design
- Little Compartment
Cons - Price
- Should be two Sandtroopers like in the movie
- No-where for R2 - D2 to sit
Overall a good set but very pricey.
I rate it a 8/10

This set is just brilliant. It is priced perfectly (for once in 2010, LEGO actually got the pricing of a Star Wars set spot on!), it looks fantastic, the minifigures are great, and you can recreate that classic moment in Mos Eisley from A New Hope.
THE MINIFIGURES
So, the minifigures - all rare and look great!
Firstly, Luke and Ben Kenobi - they look accurate and this is the only cheep was to get hold of them at the moment (The Death Star is £275!) Secondly, the Stormtrooper - An ordinary trooper, except for the lovely little shoulder strap addition given to Sand-troopers and the pack on his back!
Then we have the Droids. The security Droid is an accurate little figure. The newly designed R2-D2 for the classic series looks great as usual, but the highlight for me is C-3PO, becuase this is the only set since all the sets from Jabba's Palace that gives you a CHEEP Threepio - you have to pay £100 + for any over set like the Tantive IV, the Old Millenium Falcon, the Death Star and so on, so it was a joy when I found out he was in this set.
THE LANDSPEEDER
What you first notice about this set when it's finished is that it's actually quite big - much bigger than the original version back in 1999. After the red colour scheme of the last Landspeeder, LEGO have got the colour spot on this time - a dark beige colour with a little of grey and crimson. The cockpit and engine pieces are rare and are very movie-accurate. The side plating at the front is perfect too.
THE OTHER STUFF
Like I said, the pricing is perfect, because the size and the amount of pieces correspond perfectly with the £24.99 price tag. Also, the build is straightforward and quick, making it a good set for beginners. And the pieces are all rare colours, which is another plus.
OVERALL:
PROS:
C-3PO, Ben Kenobi and episode 4 Luke in a cheep set.
Other minifiures are really good too.
The landspeeder is quite big
It is very movie accurate
Great colour scheme and detail
Good engine, cockpit and side-plating pieces
Perfectly priced!
Easy build
Rare Pieces and elements
CONS:
Not a single con!
This is such a classic set with the minifigures, the price and the playibility.
RATING OUT OF 10: 10/10
