Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with a set from the Expanded Universe range with kit #7667: Imperial Dropship.
After the success of last years Clone Trooper and Battle Droid battle packs it's nice to see Lego continuing with more troop building box sets.
The Imperial Dropship is a small planet skimming craft with a cockpit for a pilot, wing mounted cannons and a deployable troop platform to the rear. The cockpit hinges open and closed and the rear tail and thruster assembly pivots up to allow the troop platform to detach.
You get one Shadow Trooper pilot (previously only available in 2007's TIE Crawler) and 3 Stormtroopers. Two blaster rifles and 2 heavy assault rifles finish the set.
The kit is composed of ... Read More:

This Lego Indy set gives a little insight into the movie merchandising business - namely that a large proportion of the set does not even feature in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
There is no Russian dinghy or tree/net combo in the movie, although perhaps there was at one time before scenes were cut. Anyway, the DUKW-style vehicle in this set is very good and well detailed, as are all the other parts. It's all easy to put together and good fun for my kids to build and play with (children may need a little help with the fiddly stickers).
The net trap is a good play device and there is a generous four minifigs, featuring two Russian soldiers, Marion Ravenwood and Indiana Jones. The latter is surely one of Lego's greatest ... Read More:

I must admit when I first saw this range in the shop I thought 'another Lego franchise money spinner'. In recent years Lego has become more or less a movie franchise vehicle and it's not easy to find plain ordinary Lego these days. However, my son was really keen on it and was bought a larger kit for his birthday - which he played with so much I had no objections to him using his own money to buy this smaller kit too.
The 'Jungle Duel' kit is great value for money, it is one of the cheapest sets you can get but has 3 figures (Indy, Spalko and Mutt - complete with expressions), a tent, a table which splits during fights, a collection of swords, and lots of other tiny additions (including strangely, a banana). It's the quality you'd expect ... Read More:

I found that my younger brother loved them, I brought six altogether and he was jumping with joy, he has even planed for them a battle with other star wars items.
There are ideal for people who want to build up their forces, since the CIS or separatist army need to have more units then the republic!
This is great to buy rather then buying larger sets to just get your hand on a droid or two- so it makes sence to buy quite a few of them.

Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with their first ever set from the new Clone Wars CGI animated series with kit #7669: Anakin's Jedi Starfighter.
The yellow enhanced Delta-7 starfighter is based loosely around the frame of 2002's Jedi Starfighter with a slightly larger hull and more detailing. It features moveable wings, positionable landing gear, 2 forward mounted blue flick missiles, removable cockpit and best of all, a neat little ejection mechanism for R2.
There is a connected lever that runs from the aft through the hull and when you push it in, a small bolt pushes up and ejects R2 upwards. The new flick missiles are much better than previous issues with a new piece design that stay clipped in the frame until you apply pressure the ... Read More:

The product info doesn't mention how very small the box is. Perhaps this toy will be a lot of fun for a lego / Star Wars fan ?? ... but it is going to seem a very tiny present when it is handed over at a party. Overpriced?

This is a lovely little addition to the Ben 10 range. When you collect Ben 10 figures you get free viewer discs and this watch enables you to view them. The key is that there is a clear plastic section on the watch face and to view the aliens you need to ensure this section is pointing at a strong light source. If you don't do this you won't be able to see anything.
Don't be fooled into thinking this is a cheaper version of the 'Ominatrix' there aren't any lights etc but it does say exactly what it does on the packaging. Personally though I like this more as it encourages imagination whilst being a bargain!
My 5 year old son and his friends all love this toy...so if you're considering one..buy I say!

Lego continue to celebrate Star Wars' 30th Anniversary with their first wave of new kits from the Saga with this great model of General Grievous' starfighter.
For collectors, this is the first chance to get a General Grievous figure since the General Grievous Chase set from 2005's Revenge Of The Sith line which sold out in record time!
The ship is great, with lots of small pieces on the hull to give some detailing. The front section slides forward to allow access to the cockpit and the rear stabiliser folds up and down for flight or landing.
Grievous comes equipped with 2 green lightsabres, 2 blue lightsabres and one of the new blaster rifles. The lightsabres can be attached to a weapons rack for storage which itself clips just at the front of the ... Read More:
