Finally got my hands on the Lego Microfighter Series 3 First Order Snowspeeder :) And now I'm going to do a Lego review of it in comparison with the Lego 75100 First Order Snowspeeder. Let's take a look at the mini version of the Snowspeeder first. I think it's a rather straight forward build with just 91 pieces which will take just 30 minutes to complete :p
Let's take a look at the front part of the First Order Snowspeeder with the Snowtrooper beside it. I personally look the detailed printing on the Snowtrooper minifigure except that for the microfighters edition, there are some slight difference with the bigger version of the snowspeeder's snowtroopers, which is the fabric kama around the legs.
And needless to say, the snowtrooper's expression are the standard clone trooper's expression which I think Lego should consider changing it to have more variety of facial expression or colors of different races since the troopers are no longer cloned but trained since young, as you see in the movie Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens where Finn aka FN2187 is introduced as a black Stormtrooper.
Now let's take a look at the rear of the mircrofighter snowspeeder which is rather simple but I love the little orange lego round part which forms the two side pods which you will see the difference between this and the actual snowspeeder set which is more detailed in the sense that it gives you a more realistic feel of it. However, I think the real view of the actual snowspeeder set is pretty dull in color, or maybe I could modify it by using some of the spare Lego parts I have left to make the side pod looks as though its engine are running :)
Finally, let's take a look at the completed set of both the 75126 and 75100 First Order Snowspeeder with the snowtroopers seated comfortably in their ride :)To be honest for these two sets, what I love most are the minifigures which are the snowtroopers and the front stud shooter at the front of the snowspeeder which allows the troopers to fire at any Resistance fighters. However, the bad part of the stud shooter is that we can only angled it vertically and not rotate it to the left or right.
Don't you just love the creativity of Lego where they can create a masterpiece piece of art from Star Wars and even make a smaller version of it to appeal to different target markets. Not sure about you guys but I love it so much. Now, its time to have some fun chasing down the Resistance! Are you with me or are you not? :p
