Vehicles Reviews

Legos has taken a lesson from models and added decals to their kits. One negative point regarding the decals; the instructions telling where to put the decals are weak. Beyond that small point, this is yet another excellent set in the Star Wars Legos series.

The Vulture Droid part of this set is just okay. The Vulture Droid either looks like a small space ship, or you can rearrange it to make a droid that stands up. The side pieces swivel when in the ship configuration, and the legs swivel in the droid configuration. As I said, there is nothing special with this portion of the set.

The Revenge of the Sith Jedi Starfighter is very cool. The wingtips fold for landing and you can position them in various aspects for flight. The wings also have a limited range of motion. The landing gear also moves into a stowed position for flight, which is really a nice feature because it makes the starfighter appear very streamlined. The cockpit opens so that Annakin Skywalker can get in and out of the starfighter. Annakin also has a light saber that comes with this kit. The light saber can be a pain to get into the cockpit, so I stuck it on a little piece that is part of the wing.

Other reviewers seem to dwell on the fragility of this set. The Vulture Droid is not fragile at all. The starfighter is a little fragile. There are a couple of pieces that seem to want to come off a bit too easily. However, with a little care the pieces will stay on nicely. A little bit of fragility is the price you pay for having a lot of features and details.

The Sith Jedi Starfighter is a nice addition to a collection of Star Wars Legos. I think of the Vulture Droid as a bonus. You need this cost effective set for your collection. Enjoy!

This toy is great, do not listen to those reveiws that say its not that durable it is very durable ( unless you throw it ) wich i dont throw my lego i place them on the ground. If your not sure if you should buy this or not buy it! I got the ultament space battle kit and boy im sure happy with it! anakins starfighter is very sleek and cool looking and they both have lots of parts that move up and down! this is the best lego set i have bought. It has never broke for me before and i thought it would. I mean it! Dont listen to most of the reviews!
You have to get this set and i would keep going on about how much FUN this set is! GET IT!

This toy is great.It's cool,decent price,and awsome look.But don't compare it to a hasbro starfighter,thier totally different.Overall if you need a lego ship for your person this is great.

My two year old has gotten hour and hours of play time with this. He loves it, and it has taken a lot of abuse, and still is going strong. The train is large enough for me to get into it with him (I am 5' 11"). This is a great toy and well worth the money.

I got this for my son for his second birthday party. It was the hit of the party since all the young guests wanted a ride in Thomas. A few kids at a time would go in and chug around the house. Now that it has been in the house for over a month, he still loves it especially when mama and daddy join him inside. I highly recommend this for all Train fans.

My two year old recieved this for christmas and has loved it soo much he has sleept in it every night since. We figured out that his crib matress fits in it perfectly. He use to throw fits about going to sleep in his bed now this makes it so easy for me! and him:)

My son loves this toy (he's [...]), it allows McQueen to do many activities inside Mack. It is thin plastic though and seems like it would break easily if it fell or was thrown. As it is, sometimes when he plays it, pieces come off easily-though they pop back on quickly. If you have infants at home, I would steer clear of this toy for that reason. If it were a little sturdier, I would have given it 5 stars.

Got most of the Pixar 1:55 cars before the movie came out and hesitated on Mack because of the $[...]price tag. Finally picked it up and my 3 year old loves it. Mack adds some really nice play value. I removed one of the car wash arms so he would close easier. Mack comes off from the trailer easy and while I didn't think he'ld hold up he's proved me wrong by holding up well. Mack actually had some decent screen time in the movie and is voiced by Pixar fave voice talent John Ratzenberger and got some really nice laughs in during the movie credits so don't leave as soon as it ends!

I love the truck and my son seems to love the play part that opens up(he slept with it last night)BUT there are no and I mean NO little cars to be bought to put in the toy that is the only real disappointment with this toy. OH and be careful this toy seems like it will break EASY. BUT overall it was worth the 14.88 at the local supercenter!!!!!!

I had the old-school version of this toy nearly 30 years ago, and I remember it being one of my very favorites. Mine came in a plastic briefcase, and I still have it. That says a lot about this toy, that after all this time, mine is still around and I still kind of want to play with it.

We gave this to our 2 year old and she LOVES to say 'mommy's not feeling well....she needs a check up!'. She knew what to do with all the things and plays with them every day....teddy has had his check up quite frequently too. The bag is much more handy than the box too! An affordable gift for sure!

This is a wonderful doctor's kit, it's truly helped our daughter get over her fear of going to the doctor. The previous version did have a plastic suitcase... but a very small one! Only a parent could puzzle piece all the tools back in after a few tries. I know they could have just made the box bigger, but this medical bag is actually a much smarter idea. The older box was hard to open, my daughter had to ask me to open it each time. The latch was impossible for little fingers to open! Now it's much easier for little ones to take out the tools and put them back. Highly recommend this kit to all! All of our stuffed animals and family members get a check up every day!

The power wheels kawasaki kfx ninja I bought for my sons 3rd birthday in september 2005 is in the shop and its 3 months old.
When I got the bike it worked great but about a month later it stopped running, and now its in the shop for almost two weeks and they say they are fixing the gas paddle and some other things, not to happy with this toy that my son has only played with 3 times.

This has been one of our best purchases so far for our son. We started with a smaller 4-wheeler and when he turned 2 we moved up. He loves it and has caught on so fast.
I do see a problem with the forward and reverse buttons, but we have just told him not to press them, and that seems to work fine. Now that he is almost 3 he has figured out how they work and only presses them when he is stopped.
We haven't had any problems with the battery, in fact we didn't charge it all winter and it was still ready to go this spring. Now that he has figured out how to use the turbo, he goes full steam all the time and it still outlasts him. Then we just bring it in and charge it overnight till he is ready to go in the morning.
Overall I would highly recommend this. It is a fun, safe and durable toy

We bought this kawasaki for my 5 year old son.And he loves it.he can ride it up and down the street.And sometimes He will bring it into the backyard and ride it on our grass with no problems.Its very durable.Great toy!

This is a fun toy, just a bit difficult to stack because of the narrow wheels. You can ask which one is biggest, what color is this car, ask about the numbers on the cars, etc... that is why I think it is educational to that respect. My son still has this, and is three years old and will play with it every once in awhile with his matchbox cars stacking them or just rolling them along.

My son received this toy as a gift when he was 6 months old. He loved it from the start. Each car has a different activity- rattle, spinning , etc. He figured out how to "drive" them along the ground after only a day or two of carrying them around. (I swear no one showed him- how do boys instinctively know what to do with cars??) They encouraged him to crawl more. Numbers, colors, stacking, nesting, driving around- so many things they can be used for. They are like several toys in one!

This is a great learning toy. The cars can be stacked up or nested. Hours of fun for the little ones. ;)

I had bought the scooter for my 2 1/2 yr.old grandson. My daughter was very pleased with it. And my grandson used it,and even glided along with it. Before this, he had not ridden a scooter.I would recommend this scooter for a young child.

I waited for the price to come down on this and now wishing I had purchased months ago! I bought it for my 4 year old girl, and she couldn't be more pleased! Her 7 year old brother also loves it although he's a bit heavy for it. She zooms all over the house (nice soft wheels on hardwood) and we go around the block, downtown, you name it. She can easily work the brake and she is the perfect size for the handle. It's lightweight and flexible. Her physical confidence has soared with this scooter and it's just too cute to watch her zoom around with the big kids. They, of course, are all wanting a larger version of the same type, so maybe Preschool needs to think to a bigger kid version....

This scooter was very easy for my 3 year old to use. He got on and started using it immediately. I love the fact that it turns with ease and it stays upright when he is finished using it. I am very happy with this purchase.

I recently gave this car as a birthday gift to a four year old boy in my home daycare. He loves it so much! It is very detailed and yet still very rugged. He has had two problems with it but an older child would have more patience. It's difficult getting his Batman to sit all the way down in the seat. And unless he's all the way down, the top won't close and has popped off (it looks difficult to pop off, but this kid has done it). It's easy for an adult to pop back on. The second issue has been getting the arrows that shoot out back into the guns. You have to rotate them until they pop in. These are pretty minor problems if you have a child with a little patience and the overall quality far outweighs these issues.

i bought this version of the Batmobile instead of the RC version because it was not as pricey and didn't require a separately-purchased, expensive battery. this version is a great Batmobile. the electronic lights and sounds are cool, the rockets hide great inside the chassis, everything looks great. it's great to roll across the floor and startle any sleeping pets. the only problem? the Battle Gear Batman figure i have DOES NOT fit in the cockpit. the cockpit is way too small, requiring you to bend and jam your Batman action figure's limbs and trying unsuccessfully to force it into the cockpit seat, and even then it doesn't fit. i like to take care of my things, since i see them more as collector's items rather than toys. i wanted this Batmobile to be a safe place for my Batman figure, which normally lies out in the open. so unfortunately, this is a big disappointment. oh well, the rest of the Batmobile looks great!

I saw this toy at my [...] and decided to suprise my 3&4 year old. This was the best money I have ever spent and would have gladly paid 10x that amount. My sons have found many of their other action figures that fit into the cockpit and even have ones whose hands fit on the steering wheel. I am looking for a Batman figure but they are happy while I searching. The sounds, push button action and missle lauching is perfect for little fingers. There are so many additional features on this toy that they have made this their favorite toy. Buzz and Spiderman have now subcum to BATMAN!!!!!

I'm always having too much attention with Scorponok,he's allways going to others'personal space and attacking them,especially Megatron and Optimus.He's always showi'n of his muscels and good looks which ticks off especially Megatron.That's why most people gang up on him.Scorponok transforms to a hover jet and mechanical scorpion.He also has bigg'ol claws and a stinger full of electricity and raw energon.He's in my main ofice on top of a summit pumping himself up sayi'n;"I'm the best of all you weaklings!AH HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!!!And Megatron shall pay for dissing my master Alpha Q!All he wanted was to have back his planet and this is what he gets!You people sicken me!"He drives every one crazy!We'lp,gotta get goin!

looks great, interesting transformation, sounds are greatly improved from the deluxe armada figues, BUT!

i think the collector obsession with tight joints has gotten to hasbro's collective brain. the last couple of energon toys i got (scorponok and arcee) have both been TOO tight, by a lot, and with scorponok it's so much the case that some of his semi-detachable parts tend to come off during every transformation.

...but they pop back on easily enough, so it's not that big a deal.

i'm mostly a g1 fan, so i kinda wish he was a LOT bigger, but as it is now he's sitting in my office comfortably and threateningly holding arcee off the ground with one hand and scaring the crap out of starscream with the other.

neat.



oh, my other gripe is some minor difficulty in posability. his legs and arms aren't really as flexible as they might be, and he can't stand freely in robot mode with his tail up.

I really like my Scorponok figure. I've heard several complaints about tight joints and the like, but I have no problem with them. Still not quite used to the "ratchet" joints that they're using alot more of in the mega and ultra figures. As for the poseability to these joints, I'd say it's relatively good. Overall a really fun toy if you can deal with the noises that go with it (take out the batteries if they bother you).
