The main reason, I guess, for buying it would be the three Star Wars minifigures included. It has an Asajj Ventress minifig which has a different body and printed legs than the one from the 7676 Republic Gunship set. The second minifig is Savage Opress, which is a LEGO minifig with horns on its head, like Darth Maul. The third minifig is a slightly different Anakin Skywalker that has a better body pattern. All three minifigures are only available in this set and I must mention that the backs are printed as well (fairly rare for minifigures).
The vehicle is also very nice but I haven’t a clue what the real one from the show looks like as I haven’t seen one on an episode. It is a combination of a engine base that two speeder attach to one side, I am not sure if I like it or not but at least it is different. Building the set is very simple and fun and one big surprise was they had some printed bricks – at last, some real printed brick and not stickers. Unfortunately not all were printed and some still needed stickers – gee for the price they could all be printed.
Looking at the price of this set in Australia, it is a crazy $50 – way too expensive for a small set of only 213 pieces. I think this set is really just for the die-hard fans as it is over-priced for what you get.
