Lego continue their 30th anniversary releases with this fantastic updated version on the Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid.
Originally released in the 1999-2000 run, this kit gives two models which are far superior to their predecessors.
The N-1 measures a good 36cm long with decals to provide detailing over the correct scale body. There is a firing missile in the lower hull which is launched with a trigger mechanism. The missile launcher is the same type that's in the Slave 1 kit from last year.
There is a droid compartment for an astromech unit, R2-D2 comes with the kit, and the bottom of the compartment opens to allow egress.
There is a landing plaform with ladder for the N-1.
The Vulture Droid is well ... Read More:

Lego kick off their 2008 releases from The Clone Wars movie with the fantastic Magnaguard Starfighter. The model is a very accurate representation of the starfighter and it is packed with features.
The cockpit opens with the movement of a slide mechanism underneath, the aft body flips open and reveals two red tipped flick missiles inside, the entire length of the engine covers lift up and the two gun pods on either wing rotate a full 360 degrees. In the aft tip of each wing there is a clip which stores the electrostaff weapons that the Magnaguards use.
The bonus of this kit is that it has 2 IG-100 Magnaguard droids with it. This is the first time these have been released and are a welcome addition to the Star Wars Lego collection. ... 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 ... Read More:

Lots of bricks but lacks other parts that would improve the fun and flexibility. There are no wheels or bases included in this selection and too few long sections. It's a good size box if you only want the bricks, but to really be useful and creative you will need to add other Lego packs. Overall slightly disappointing.

Lego kick off their 2008 releases from The Clone Wars movie with the excellent Republic Attack Gunship. These were also seen in Attack Of The Clones but this kit has been updated from the original #7163 Republic Gunship from 2002 with better construction, nicer detailing, more features and a more accurate colour scheme. This is a great version of the Gunship and it comes loaded with features.
Each cockpit canopy hinges open. The two front cannons rotate a full 360 degrees and across as well. There are doors to each side of the compartment below the cockpit which hinge up and contain a Clone Skimmer vehicle inside. In the compartment next to that, there are two panels which hinge up and there is a medical capsule inside which you hinge open ... Read More:

I found this set in a local toyshop on my birthday and snapped it up. It's part of a recent range that's been brought out (presumably to coincide with the 4th Indiana Jones movie). The set is typical Lego; fun, durable and easy to play with. It has all the booby traps from the movie sequence (the start of Raiders of the Lost Ark), which all work beautifully. The boulder mechanism in particular is great fun. The plane (with snake!) is an excellent little addition. Great value for money and another fab toy from Lego.
