Star Wars GALACTIC HEROES MILLENNIUM FALCON

51CRD5GG4BL Star Wars GALACTIC HEROES MILLENNIUM FALCON Star Wars GALACTIC HEROES MILLENNIUM FALCON Can an epic struggle between good and evil, where the fate of the galaxy itself hangs in the balance, be cute? In this set of pint-sized Star Wars hero from Episode IV (also known as just plain Star Wars we have three familiar figures done up as adorably tiny versions of themselves. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and C-3PO are piloting a tiny version of the Millennium Falcon, which comes equipped with a laser cannon, opening cockpit, and audio snippets of R2D2, C-3PO, Chewie, and the sound of the laser cannon firing. While its not exactly an accurate depiction of characters from the films, it s enough to make a generation of youngsters get hooked on the Star Wars saga. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Nice play set
My four-year-old loves playing with Star Wars things. This is a great playset for Star Wars lovers. The cockpit is a bit tricky to open and close, but my boys love the sound effects and the fact it opens up and they can play inside. A favorite!!
Customer Review: Highly recommended!!
My son received this as a birthday gift and it is a great toy!! My son just turned 8 and he loves it. It has lots of awesome sound effects and great for the imagination even for an 8 year old yet still fun and safe for his 2 year old sister. My husband even enjoys playing with the kids with it. An overall well made cute toy.

LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Vorahk

413B48HTRXL LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Vorahk LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Vorahk A bit of advice: if you’re looking to hire someone for a team-oriented job in your office, skip right past Vohrak’s resume’. To begin with, according to LEGO Bionicle legend, he has some rather dubious work experience, having joined together with five other Rahkshi to obey the evil Makuta and attempt to capture the Mask of Light and prevent the coming of the Seventh Toa. Not only that, he’s power hungry. Literally! He wields a special magic staff that drains the power from all that it touches and transfers that power directly to Vohrak himself. If you’re really trying to foster a collaborative and open environment, that’s just not the kind of guy you want on your team. Granted, he would move up the executive ranks quickly but it just isn’t worth it. This Vohrak model features 45 pieces. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Minions of Makuta!
Coming from a gigantic BIONICLE fan and true collector, let me assure you that this LEGO product is one of the best. According to the storyline, Vohrahk is one of the sons of Makuta, the ultimate villain in the BIONICLE world. His powers are the opposite of his enemy Onua Nuva, giving him the ability to drain and release energy rather than recieving it.

LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Lerahk

417VX1TW2KL LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Lerahk LEGO Bionicle The Mask of Light: Lerahk In the highly complex lore of the LEGO Bionicle series, bad guy Makuta has unleashed a gang of powerful creatures, the Rahkshi, to find the Mask of Light and prevent the coming of the Seventh Toa. The silver and green, vaguely insect-like monster Lehrak, one of six Rahkshi, is noted more for his raw power than his intelligence and wields a special staff that can poison anything it touches. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Lehrak is a 45-piece LEGO set. By following the graphic instruction manual, it’s easy to construct the monster according to specifications. But since it is a LEGO product, some license can be taken to build new hybrid monsters. Lehrak, like all Bionicles, comes in a reusable plastic container, which makes it easier to keep its pieces separate. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: A blithering of a madman
I have always been a lego fan ever since I saw a LEGO City set form 1995.
BIONICLE is a good valued toy line that is respected and has an AMAZING storyline, whose main villain has elabrote plots that can be very complex to our little minds. This set is a very good old set, since I valued gears over the sockets, yet I see a problem. THERES A RED HIP PEICE!!! That is not found on Lehrahk. Another problem is the price of the new one. The originals are 7.99! Thats a HUGE boost. But if your a BIONICLE fan, and lost it like me, then buy it. BUY IT!
Customer Review: Building Bliss: The perfect toy
I found this to be one of the best out of the six. The green color complements the design, unlike the Brown Rahkshi and the Black one.

Not only that, …, the feet do not come off easily if you build it right. If you give it a push, it slides on perfectly, and doesn’t come off.

The only thing I might say I’m not completely satisfied with are the hips. They sway too much, and can make posing a chore.

But all in all, this would have to be my favorite of the entire BIONICLE series. It is fun to build, and even better if you have a BIONICLE Toa Nuva. And if you open up the Rahkshi’s Back with Spikes, you might just find a surprise…

LEGO BIONICLE Visorak Oohnorak

4106TZEBM6L LEGO BIONICLE   Visorak Oohnorak LEGO BIONICLE Visorak Oohnorak Although it looks a lot like a big mechanical bug, the Oonorak, in the complex mythology of the Lego Bionicle series, is actually a pretty sophisticated intelligence operative. It uses both telepathy and a talent for mimicry to masquerade as other people (and, presumably other mechanical bugs) as part of the ongoing battle in Metru Nui. The Oohnorak is not one of the evil masterminds of the operation but a loyal follower. Back here on Earth, this is a 47-piece Lego set that features a spinning circular projectile that can be fired about 30 to 40 feet across a room, according to our informal test. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: COOL
its awsome but the fangs are really bendy cuz mine already has been bended but its realy fun but its kinda fragile but fun it spinner is hard to launch and you can flip up its body and the chomping action doesn’t really work to well (i already looked at the instructions three times)

LEGO Knights Kingdom Vladeks Dark Fortress

51M7uMd0RvL LEGO Knights Kingdom Vladeks Dark Fortress LEGO Knights Kingdom Vladeks Dark Fortress The Knights of Morcia are locked in pitched battle with the evil Vladek and his nefarious marauding forces who are trying to control the kingdom. But in this sprawling, expansive 967-piece set from Lego, the Knights are taking the battle right to Vladek s house, seeking to defeat him right there at his enormous fortress. The set includes a multitude of swords, shields, battle axes, and other weapons for Sir Rascus, Sir Jayko, Sir Danju, and Sir Santis to use as they take on Vladek and his crew, all of whom are represented by tiny Lego guys who, as always, look more cute than fierce. The fortress is equipped with spring-loaded missiles, a catapult, and even a vat of fake boiling oil. Plus, there s a scary dungeon with skeletons and pretend spider webs. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Great model from Lego
I love this lego set. There were many stuffs that I didn’t expect to see before I finished assembling it. There are 5 parts of fortresses connected as one unit. That is really cool. There are a lot of cool weapon stuffs. Mini figures are so cute as well. It looks nice to have on shelf as decoration item. It was fun. Most of my friends who saw it said it was cool. To me, it is worth my money.
Customer Review: An Excellent Design From Lego!!!
I love the Vladek’s Dark Fortress lego set. I like the colors lego used, I love the architecture of the building while allows you to display it many different ways, the mini figuries that it comes with are of a newer design and of a better look then the older ones.

Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber

51XQW486F9L Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber We re not certain whether this is how it was done among the Jedi and the Sith, whether they had to go to the trouble of actually constructing their own lightsabers. There s no overt reference to any kind of lightsaber vendor in any of the six movies. And if there was one, would he supply both the empire and the rebels? Or would there be some sort of contractual stipulation against that? You re free to ponder these issues as you build your own weapon by choosing a Jedi or Sith blade, a color to appear when it lights up, and a crystal, which, in the mythology of Star Wars, gives the saber its power. The kit comes with one hilt, two blades, two emitters, two caps, and three crystals. You could even take both blades and build a double-bladed saber. There aren t endless possibilities here, leaving the kit somewhat disappointing as a construction toy but it s a nice way of customizing your own weapon, depending whether you re good or evil. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Question:
I was just wondering why this lightsaber kit is $39.99 in Toys R Us and $124.00 on Amazon?
Customer Review: Kids Loved It
I bought 3 of these for my kids and they LOVED them. Play with them all the time. They have had them for several months and are still in working order.

LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase

41wSJHfVCNL LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase In one of those movie scenes that would have never been possible before the rapid improvement of digital imaging quality, veteran Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by a real actor, takes on General Grievous, a sort of asthmatic android bad guy, who is electronically generated. Additionally, Obi-Wan chases Grievous while riding a huge lumbering electronically generated beast while Grievous tries to get away in an electronically generated space bicycle. Fortunately for us back on Earth, the entire affair has been recreated in the highly tangible world of Lego as 111 pieces show both characters, their preferred transportation, and light sabers. And since it is Lego, you re free to insert pirates, astronauts, or whoever else you have in the big Lego box to make the scenario more interesting. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Nice figs, mediocre set
I bought this set for General Grevious, who was an exclusive figure at the time. You have to love any Star Wars character who has four arms and four lightsabers! What’s not to love? His face and cape look great. This was before you could get a Grevious figure in a set with his starfighter (and with a blaster for him to hold as well, although sans cool cape). Now that Grevious is available elsewhere, this set has to stand on its own merits.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Deluxe > Clone Trooper Army Action Figure Multi-Pack

31ONwm76mpL Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Deluxe > Clone Trooper Army Action Figure Multi Pack Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Deluxe > Clone Trooper Army Action Figure Multi-Pack What these three clone troopers from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith lack in flexibility, they make up for in armature. One soldier stands, ready for combat, with adjustable arms but fixed legs. Another trooper kneels, prepared to take a shot at a lower target. And a third lies on his stomach. All carry black rifles and the sort of cool, utilitarian detachment so common in the ranks of clone troopers. Due to their fixed position, there isn t a lot of action in these action figures but the impressive level of detail mitigates their deficit in versatility. As part of an arranged Star Wars tableau, the clone troopers make for an intimidating display.–Charlie Williams
Customer Review: Small trooper army
This set is not “deluxe”, as it reads on the packaging. There are three clone troopers that are not deluxe at all, just cheap. They do not have any articulated spots, they just kneel, lie or stand on the the ground, depending on which figure. There are also 3 color variations: a standing red one, a kneeling green one and a lying blue one. All three variations are new paints schemes that were not seen in the movie. I wish Hasbro would make a better version of the green one, it looks pretty cool.

Star Wars 500TH FIGURE DARTH VADER

51EH6G4PAYL Star Wars 500TH FIGURE DARTH VADER Star Wars 500TH FIGURE DARTH VADER While it s easy to admire the moviemaking craftsmanship of director George Lucas as the Star Wars series evolved from a comparatively low budget 1970 s sci-fi picture to a massive sprawling epic of 21st century light and magic, one must also pay heed to Lucas s business acumen. Way back in Star Wars early days, Lucas managed to secure a significant percentage of revenue in what was then a tiny industry: toys and action figures. The windfall allowed him to create the, pardon the pun, empire he rules today. For the 500th action figure in the Star Wars franchise, we have been given the series central figure: Darth Vader. He is impressively articulated and sits in his isolation chamber where his menacing helmet is lowered onto his scarred body. It s a somber figure and would be hard to really play with in the classical sense but its hard to imagine anything more collectible. –Charlie Williams
Customer Review: ” yes admiral..what is it?” celebrate the saga in style with this one !
this is a excellent figure..what a way for hasbro to clebrate their 500th figure. with none other than the sith lord darth vader himself in his hyperbaric chamber.
this figure is well done, vader himself is seated with the mechanical arm lowering his helmet onto him(or removing it..with a lever on the back) the figure has this “snap lock seal sound” when the figure is lowered and locked into place…vader also has his cape, and of course his deadly crimson bladed lightsaber…whats there not to like??
