If the Wampa Snow Speeder and new AT-AT are any indication of TLGs approach to updating an iconic vehicle, I suspect a few minor tweaks to the new falcon and will look to MOCs and MODs to make the falcon as good as it can be, just like how AFOLs have upgraded their 4504s. I don't know if it's because of the rarity of the color, but TLG has made this mistake before, in the podracer power couplings. What I can't do is give this set a lower rating than the Wampa Cave, though, because it doesn't deserve that bad a score. This screen would be seen by the pilot inside the little retracting targeting scope, not on the instrument panel itself.

We start with a base of the cockpit that's quite colorful, and add on the hinged sides of the nose itself. Disclaimer: BrickLink does not guarantee an inventory to be correct and therefore an inventory should be only used as a guide. it's too far forward) It's a nice touch, and there are tons of ships with nowhere to stash that lightsaber, but you probably won't be playing with this too much. Note: Two of the pictures in this review under the Finished Model section (Side view and Head-on view) aren't showing up on my end, but a RA Teacher can see them just fine.

Or are you an MOCer who wants motivation and the bricks necessary to begin your own version of this iconic ship?

With S-foil wings that open to attack position, folding landing gear, a cargo hold and lots of authentic details, this special edition Star Wars set includes the first-ever LEGO mini figure of Rebel hero Wedge Antilles, as well as several hard-to-find characters. Princess Leia's normal hair also does not match her torso piece; the hairpiece is from Episode IV ( A New Hope), and the torso is from Episode V ( The Empire Strikes Back).LEGO Star Wars Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back is a subtheme of Star Wars which contained sets based on the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back film. While I'm not entirely happy with the way you've presented my own views of this set (everyone has an agenda I guess), this is a very good review, as it highlights the various pros and cons of this set while not being as cuddly as the other reviews were. This set hasn't been together for too long, but from what I remember of my copies of 7259 and 4502 before I parted them out permanently, the rubber bands get a tiny bit stretched, but not to the point that they need replacing, and that was over a period of 3-4 years, I believe. As a testament to it's age, the banner design across the top is that of the 2005-2006 sets, and on this box has outlasted three other banners and counting.

The set includes stands for the striped tiles that can be used to customize the fighter to be either Wedge's Red 2 or Luke's Red 5. It might not be that accurate to us, but as far as the average member of the targeted audience is concerned, this is a great set. On that high note, here are the notable pieces: Since you probably don't want to see 90% of Bag Eight all over again, I narrowed it down to the extremely useful or interesting.

also interesting to note - the 7749 set has the older face, so the older face is on the right in this comparison, but the older minifig as a whole is on the left) There is no difference in torso print here, the only difference in legs is the color, and this set's Han does not come with the hood. I'm probably not the most qualified to give an opinion (this is only the 3rd Lego set I've put together as an adult) but I really like this. The old black rubber bands got brittle and would have to be replaced, but the white, yellow, red, and blue varieties don't.

There are a few apparently stray laser bolts, but they're coming from Hoth itself, so they could possibly be coming from the ion cannon. Do note that this mechanism is very similar to that of sets of the X-wing's predecessor, the ARC-170 starfighter. One of my goals when reviewing this set was that amidst all the negative discussion concerning this set lately, I wanted to present an unbiased review that explains why I think this set is so successful.
