Packaging The front of the box shows the usual Star Wars theme for non RotS sets. As usual on the bottom right corner are the 3 minifigs included in the set: Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and an anonymous Jawa. The back of the box shows the set play feature: an openable hatch to store goggles. Content of the box The box contains 3 numbered bags, the instruction booklet and a sticker sheet. I'll apologize right away as I misplaced a sticker while building, but noticed my error only when editing the pictures. Minifigures The set contains 3 minifigures: Luke Skywalker in his Tatooine outfit with a poncho, the usual C-3PO and a Jawa. Nothing new here, except for Luke's poncho. Build The build is easy and features a lot of SNOT building techniques that are pretty interesting. The result is a nice Jawa cave, and of course Luke's landspeeder that looks great with more detailed engines than the 3 previous iterations. The use of stickers for the sides instead of flex tubes is for me a good solution as it implies SNOT building and more parts, but the downside is obviously more stickers in a set that already uses a bunch of them for the engines. The only other option would be for Lego to provide printed parts for the side tubings or the engines! The set comes with a few nice parts, like the Brick 1X1X3 1/3, W/ Arch in light blueish grey, and some recolored parts in Dark Red and Nougat. For me there is still one key part that is missing: the lanspeeder's windshield! If Lego wants to continue releasing Luke's Landspeeder every two years, they could look at the movie and give us a more accurate windshield. Play features The set's play feature are quite simple: an openable hatch on the landspeeder, and a rocky cave for the Jawa to hide in. I had the previous landspeeder still built so I took a few pictures side by side of the models. I clearly prefer the new one, which is still perfectible but adds lots of details especially on the engines areas. Conclusion Design: 8/10 - The model is really nice, but relies too much on stickers for the final look. Parts: 8/10 - The part selection is very good, with some great new parts! More printed parts instead of stickers would have been nice though. Build: 8/10 - Interesting build for the landspeeder with nice techniques. Playability: 8/10 - The cave is anecdotic, but the landspeeder is rather enjoyable to play with. Minifigs: 6/10 - The minifigs are the main downside of the set, with nothing new except a poncho. Price: 5/10 - With a ppp of 0,126€ and 3 unexclusive minifigs, this set seems a bit overpriced . Overall: 43/60 (71%) - A rater nice set, with an iconic vehicle... but the minifigs aren't up to the landspeeder. Quote
Smitty500 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 OK. This is a pretty sweet build! it's a welcome update to the Land speeder but it could have waited another year. Quote
Cyberfounder Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I would buy it, but too many stickers... Nice review though. Quote
Willsy Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 I bought this set the other week and while I think it's decent, I felt it looked a bit too long and flat? I've felt this way with all of the Landspeeders aside from the original 1999 version funnily enough. I did mod it though to make it shorter. I also think this and Obi-Wan's hut should have been a single set, but maybe that's just me Quote
OscarWRG Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 The seats are very nice in this new edition Quote
macaron35 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 is the previous landspeeder better / more accurate ? plus, it doesn't have stickers at the front, but it is a bit difficult to find at a good price Quote
Vouatch Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 my opinion is that this new version is better and more accurate, just take a look at the movie to undesrtand that exterior, evan by stickers, is more accurate. And the cockpit is of course better. I have the 2 last version and this 75271 is my favorite Quote
