Massively overpriced from Amazon

This is a great introduction to Lego, which toddlers are totally enthralled by. Any of us who had this as children, take great pleasure in passing on the creativity to the next generation.

DON'T BUY IT FROM AMAZON!

It's cheaper at a certain supermarket's online store (under £10 = free P&P) - every little helps.

The rest of Amazon's Lego seems competitive from what I have observed.

But do buy it, especially if the youngster you are buying it for is not your own. Whoever's child you buy it for will instantly thank and respect you, for your insider knowledge ;-).

Mind his arms..!

The Doctor looks fab in his spacesuit with removable helmet and the lift looks good too and it's quite roomy. My kids can cram quite a few figures into it! My only niggle with it is that you have to be very careful with the Doctor's arms (The glove part) as they are not brillianly attached. In fact, we had to send for a replacement set when one of his hands came off whilst trying to carefully remove him from the box. So far, the replacement has been ok but do be careful with him... Nice little set though overall.

With great power comes great responsibility...

Once upon a time in the toy factory there was a nerdy potato. He was bitten by a radioactive toy spider, and turned into Spider-Spud.

What more do you need to know? Get it now. And get Darth Tater and have a face-off.

[Tip: Tie a white shoe-lace to Spider-Spud and suspend him from the ceiling. It's a wonderful conversation starter.]

"Deploy the droids!

Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with a set from the Attack Of The Clones with kit #7670: Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid.
After the success of last years Clone Trooper and Battle Droid battle packs it's nice to see Lego continuing with new larger troop building box sets.
The set is an instant droid army and has 4 mini figures. There are two standard Battle Droids, like the ones from 2007's Trade Federation M.T.T., which have the arm with the upright grip and one Battle Droid Commander with a yellow body. Each one is armed with a blaster rifle. There is also a dark grey Super Battle Droid as well.
The next droid is the Spider Droid. A vastly improved and updated version from the previous release in 2005's Wookie Attack, it has more poseable legs, moveable antenna, movable forward cannon and moving eye scanners. It has a foot base of 7.5 sqcm, is 11.5cm from leg to cannon tip and stands 8.5 cm high to tip of antenna.
The kit is finished off with a Corporate Alliance Hailfire Droid. These antiaircraft weapon platforms have two upper mounted missile racks for dealing with enemy ships. The model has angled wheels with brown tread tracks (works best on carpeted floors!) and movable missile pods on each side. Each pod holds 4 red flick missiles. The droid measures 10 cm long, 13.5cm wide and 8cm tall.
The kit which is composed of 227 pieces, not including the figures and weapons and takes about 20 minutes to build. A excellent army builder and a must for all those Trade Federation fans out there. Lets hope Lego bring out a comparable Clone Trooper pack later in the year.

Gizmo

Just one thing to say...the dimensions given are incorrect. They should be in cm as opposed to inches.
Ergo i was a little disappointed when it arrived in an envelope thinking it would be bigger..but still so cute.

Don't fight over it you two.

I have a son and daughter,this toy was bought for my son but as soon as it appears, son, daughter, husband and me are all drawn inexerably toward's it ,we all want to have a go.
A real joy to behold so much detail, it moves well and it's voice is spot on.
One draw back, it's delicate, handle with care.
Over all brilliant just wish I'd bought two, one for each child or maybe three cause my husband loves it ,when the children are asleep and he's had a beer, up he goes and sneek's it downstairs to have a go.
