LEGO Star Wars 8038 The Battle of Endor

Product Information

Twelve minifigures are present in this set, with six exclusive: the three Ewoks (Chief Chirpa, Paploo, and Wicket), the Endor Leia, and the two Rebel Commandos.

On the forest moon of Endor, a brave team of Rebels joins forces with a fierce tribe of Ewok warriors. There are three different distributions of parts in this set: bags one (the catapult, minifigures, glider, and speederbikes), bags two (the AT-ST), and bags three (the bunker). Kids have been engaging in creative expression and constructive play with high-quality LEGO brand toys since 1932. Great review really and I love this set, one can never have too many Scoutroopers (I have 3 + Kashyyyk trooper). Back in 2009, I guess double sided head piece is not the "in" thing yet so there is no alternative expression for Han.I haven't looked at any of the R2D2s I have in years (because I only have a couple - one in unopened box, the the other has been in the X-Wing forever.

This version comes with a knob behind the cockpit to move its legs, just by alternating clockwise and anti-clockwise on the knob.To improve its camouflage in the thick foliage of the forest of Endor, the catapult is made up of mostly brown (wood) and green (leave) bricks. Look wise, the bunker certainly does its original proud, especially the sunken entrance and sliding main door. Minifigures: 9/10 I know, it s impossible to include every figure we need for this battle in one set, but I really miss them.

I made no secret of my liking of those well-deisgned handlebars, which are very posable for the Trooper to grab while riding. He also comes with a all black head piece, which forms part of his black visor when he dons his helmet.I also like how four flick-fire missile pieces were used (one for the staff, three for the AT-ST), but only one can actually flick-fire. I am tempted to get this, but there are soooooo many other great smaller sets I want, I don't know if I can afford them all. My only problems are with the Speederbikes which were better in the 7676 Gunship and with the AT-ST legs.

Upload an Image in the specific color if you have one and the one in the above listing is not available. The walking function isn t very easy to describe, so I just link to a video from Toy Fair 2009 that shows it "walking".

Those three pieces down at the bottom of the picture were actually outside any bags, loose in the box.
