The skilled and silent LEGO Magna Droids…and their Starfighter!
LEGO Magna Droids
Carry out the commands of General Grievous!
The skilled and silent Magna Droids™ are General Grievous’ elite droid forces in the Clone Wars … and their specialized starfighter is just as deadly as they are! Equipped with a lever-activated cockpit, opening engine compartments, and a hidden missile launcher with flick-action rockets, this sleek ship is a serious threat to any clone troopers or Jedi Knights who dare to cross its path.
* Includes 2 Magna Droid™ minifigures!
* Push lever forward to flip open the cockpit!
* Sides open to reveal pop-up launchers!
* Back flips open to use the hidden flick-fire missile!
* Measures over 11″ (28cm) wide and over 10″ (25cm) long!
Overall, I thought this was a good purchase. It has a nice detail level and is complicated just enough to be fun as well as a tad challenging.
Minus points (definitely) for only one Magna Guard being able to fit in the ship at a time — I was hoping both could fit in.
I like the creativity the designers put in, especially to the cockpit mechanism, being simple enough, it’s not too fragile, works for the most part quite well, and is fairly realistic. The rear hatch which folds down to expose flick-fire missiles (which I really don’t like much) is a nice touch, giving another point of interaction for children.
The recommended age bracket on the box fits fairly well, though I recommend this to any collector who wants a good set and minifigs you can’t get anywhere else.
For the build it took me approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, so I’d say it’s about average for the product’s size. Building it was not too much of a challenge, it was a bit frustrating though when I kept putting a few pieces on incorrectly because I forgot to flip the page (to build the invert side of the same part), so I had to rebuild a section of the product adding about 10 minutes since I rebuilt it wrong once (the 10 minutes was subtracted from the build time). There are a few parts which don’t go on very easily, so you have to be careful that you don’t break anything while building.
Hope this review helps you make a decision on buying this set!
