2 humanoid minifigs : one Jedi, one soldier, one light saber, one rifle 2 super battle droids (little ones): weapons embedded in their arms (good for moving around and developing tactical situations) 1 dwarf spider droid : 4 legs, many pieces, fragile. It can imitate firing weapons. and 1 homing spider droid : 1 rocket launcher, one poseable laser cannon (can be modified to swivel) Your LEGO kid WANTS this one.
It's a decent model, but if I compare it with things like the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid, it comes up short while being more expensive. It's not as useful parted out as Duel, given that most of the parts are technic elements. I think the real difference for this set will be a good sale, maybe down into the $25 or less range. Or maybe just the need for more female jedi.
If the legs were more substantial I believe the set would be too, and more interesting. I don't think this set is worth the $50. I'd say reduce the size of the legs a few studs, bring them slightly closer to the body, remove 1 battle droid and drop the price a few dollars.
There's not much to be said about this model and it's a very straightforward build. There's only one unique minifigure, Stass Allie, and 3 are generic figures for army-building. The droid itself has flimsy legs as shown in the video and needs to be repositioned each time you pick it up. The head rotates, and that's the most prominent play feature. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of interesting parts to make up for its other deficits. Overall, this is a filler in an army of battle droids.
