LEGO Naboo N-1 Starfighter with Vulture Droid

I saw this thing before I saw the old version of this set, and there's really no comparison. It is a really sweet kit. The launcher would beat a sniper in a compitition of distance. (Not really; this thing can't shoot 2 1/2 miles with pinpoint accuracy. Actually, this thing can't shoot 2.5 miles at all. Drat.) Both the N-1 and the Vulture Droid look awesome, but the Vulture Droid's "flick fire missles" don't work at all. Who cares, though? It's a sweet set either way you cut it.

My son received this for his 8th birthday. He loved it! He was old enough to be able to build this from the directions without help and fast build it, he did! I thought that would be it - $[...] and he was done with it in a single afternoon - but no, he gets a good amount of imaginative play with the finished models, so it was a very worthwhile purchase. This is a great buy for children who have taken interest in the Star Wars movies and who love to assemble LEGO's. And I expect adults who are collectors of this genre would appreciate this gift also.

frist there was some promblems with this lego 1 it kept falling apart so i had to glue it 2 the missles dont fier good on droid and the missle on the naboo does not work 3 r2d2 does not fall from his escape pod. But this is fun to build and is fun to play with. If your okay with these promblems then get this lego if your then dont. get anakins star fighter instead.

Birthday present for my 7-year-old son. He put it together by himself and had fun doing it. He really enjoys playing with it, together with his other LEGO Star Wars toys. It sometimes comes apart a bit, but is easily put back together. Overall a good buy.
