For you get an engine, battery pack, lights, and switch which is very cool. Unfortunately if you don’t have spare Lego technic pieces and don’t quite know how to apply the motor to create a functioning machine, than it can be a let down. I got this for my six year old son who can mostly do every Star Wars Lego kit he’s come across by himself. One of the recent ones was the motorized AT-AT #10178 which has the same motor and battery pack. From that kit we both got an introduction on how this motor could be applied.

I got this Power kit knowing I’d likely have to put something together for him. You’ll gain a greater appreciation for what your car’s transmission does after playing with this kit. I used the following two Lego sets that we already had to put together a functioning car:

1. Lego Crazyaction Contraptions. This is more of a book with a small collection of gears and technic pieces you can build hand and rubber band powered machines with.

2. Lego Creator Cool Convertible #4993. Fortunately my son had recently crashed this car so that only the chassis was left intact with the axles and wheels.

By tinkering around I was able to mount the engine and battery pack onto the chassis. By playing around with different sized gears I was able to get that engine to drive the wheels. My son and I loved watching our electric car run for the first time. He took over and mounted the lights and a stick shift. You can than build a custom body over your engine and chassis. Next project is trying to figure out how to build a two speed transmission. So you can see how fun and education this power kit can be if you have the right parts to go with it. If you have a lego store nearby, than check to see if they have loose technic pieces available. We just went to legoland and I scooped a bag full of gears and other hard to find loose parts for only . For the price this really is a 5 star kit.

Comment with LEGO Star Wars Midi-Scale Millennium Falcon #7778
I really hate telling my little guy he has to save his allowance to buy more Legos — he is saving for the 0 Death Star and the 0 Battle of Endor right now. He’s got about 5 left to save, poor kiddo.

Anyway, there’s a 0 Lego Millemium Falcon out there, but seriously? I’m not spending that on Legos.

But lookie here — a much smaller, more basic, less expensive Millenium Falcon *perfect* for playing with (especially for battles against Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter, eh?). And over here, I just happen to have a child who has mastered his math facts in a month and has been reading to his brother every day. Very responsible! Job well done, meet reward.

[By the way, I got ours at another major retailer whose name begins with Wal and paid only .]

Comment with LEGO® City Police Helicopter (7741)
I bought this set because I wanted the police officer and helicopter for my police force. This set comes with one police officer figure that has a very detailed printed head and torso; he also has a white helmet. The officer is equipped with a pair of handcuffs and a pair of binoculars. The Police Helicopter itself is a simple, but very enjoyable build and when finished it looks genuinely like a real police chopper. The helicopter has a single seat cockpit for the officer with a control panel. The chopper is equipped with two cargo containers (one on each side) for the handcuffs and binoculars. The helicopter is also outfitted with a side-mounted video camera, and a search light located under the nose. Well, here are the basics of the set:

The good things

Officer
Binoculars
Handcuffs (also comes with one extra pair)
Helicopter
Cargo containers
Video camera
Search light
Printed control panel piece

The bad things

Stickers
No weapons
The handcuffs do not fit in the cargo containers

Over all, I highly recommend this set.

P.S. if you want Lego hand guns, you can buy them of “Pick A Brick” on the Lego website.

LEGO Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter (8088)

Comment with LEGO Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter (8088)
As always, Amazon delivered the product in 2 days with Prime membership.
The LEGO 8088 Arc-170 is a remodeled and updated version of the original starfighter from set 7259 (now discontinued). This current model has a much longer wingspan and is overall bigger, with smaller pieces resulting in a more intricate design and tighter fit. The color palette is also very nice, however, the set does come with stickers, which I have chosen not to apply. Bear in mind that the three cockpit windows are technically blank, and the white window separation is achieved through stickers.
In the core of the Arc-170 is an exceptionally clever LEGO brick engine, composed of 2 interior gears; turning it lowers/raises the wings, reminiscent of the X-Wing. I personally feel the price tag for this set is a bit on the high side in terms of bricks:price ratio, but the well engineered engine mechanic is no doubt the cause of this.
When purchasing this set, one is essentially paying a premium for the additional labor cost used for design. Of the more recent Star Wars sets, this is the only one to incorporate Technic pieces on this scale.

Comes with 4 minifigs [2 clone pilots, the Jedi (whose head is made of rubber), and 1 astrodroid].
Conclusion: There are much better LEGO Star Wars models out there if you’re looking for a good bricks:minifigs:price ratio. However, if you’re interested in a more technical set that “moves” with not just wheels and kinetic energy, this is for you.
