Star Wars Lego Review Set 8091 Republic Swamp Speeder

The Star Wars LEGO Swamp Speeder is part of the first wave of releases for Lego in 2010. This is a limited edition set which means you can only get it at Lego Shop At Home or specific stores (Target).

The set is a little small for the $29.99 price tag but that tends to happen with exclusive sets. There are 176 pieces and 5 minifigures so it is not a huge set. The Speeder itself is quite small and will be a deterrent for casual buyers. Collectors however will be attracted by the figure of Jedi Commander Barriss Offee as it is the first time she has been featured in a set.  This is a beautiful figure with purplish decoration on her face and a highly detailed torso.

Other figures in the set include a clone trooper, two battle droids and a super battle droid. The clone trooper is in what is regarded as phase two armor. That means it is not the original clone armor as featured in Episode 2 but the second version of the armor as featured in Episode Three. This armor is meant to serve as halfway between the original clone armor and that worn by the stormtroopers in episodes four five and six. For avid fans, this particular phase two clone Lego has a slightly newer design on its helmet and torso.

The speeder has a number of interesting features which may make up a little for the higher price bracket. As it is a swamp speeder wheels on the bottom of the model give the impression that the speeder is hovering across the surface. There are four flick fire missiles and there is a steering mechanism at the rear which controls the front wheels and missiles.

It's a great design and has a beautiful exclusive figure and if you can look past the high price point it is worth the purchase if you are a fan.
