Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5

The set is intended for Star Wars fans, ages 7-12. It's a little more complex to build than some of the other small Star Wars sets we have reviewed, so younger kids might need an adult's help.

This is a GREAT upgrade since the 2008 version. It rolls smoothly and has the great spring loaded shooters. The new trooper looks awesome and thanks for adding the detailed legs (since the other earlier sets with the new troopers don't have them.) There should be 4 shooters on each side rather than 2 but it's still okay. The torrent on it is cool too. As small and one of the cheaper sets it's really cool and fun!

Recommendation: no 5.75 / 10 by duboismerci

Definitively not one of the best set of the winter wave. I would not recommend this set alone but it's decent complement to your Geonosis collection. Also even if the minifigure selection is not the best, this set is worth getting for those who missed the clone Lieutenant polybag. I am pretty sure we won't get a third chance to get a blue phase one clone trooper.

Recommendation: no 2 / 5 by Nick Martin

Everything about this vehicle is pretty much wrong, and the build loses out on the things that made the last version an attractive purchase, like the selection of parts. The lack of treads, more parts being tied up in technic stuff, and all those launchers all make this a lesser set than the last one.
