Kids can recreate the scene from Revenge of the Sith, where Kenobi tracks down Grievous on Utapau, or they can come up with their own Star Wars scenarios. This is also a nice sized set for a collector to display.

This is the best of the 2 different General Grievous Lego mini figures. He is a big must-have for any Star Wars lover. The Lego set is very easy to assemble. Lots of parts and a few extra pieces. The biggest plus for this set is that it actually works! Fold up the legs and drive it around. Very awesome. Just like the movie!

Recommendation: meh 3.7 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

I think that this is a good set. The minifigure selection is very impressive, though one more would certainly have been even better. The build is reasonable, as is the playability. LEGO did this set well.

Recommendation: no 2 / 5 by Nick Martin

Despite being better than the original, it's still not a very good set. I prefer the tan Clone Wars Grevious to the white, and Obi-Wan has some printing upgrades but I'm not sure that justifies the cost.

This is well-rounded set in terms of minifigs, parts, looks, and playability. The model captures the gritty look of General Grievous' wheel bike yet rolls easily. The parts selection is average, but the high parts count helps sell the set to builders. The new white version of General Grievous will surely be popular and is guaranteed to be popular among collectors. It's one of the best Star Wars sets in the low-medium price range.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
