Summary: "Give me an excuse to speed!"
Comment: Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with a set from the Expanded Universe range with kit #7668: Rebel Scout Speeder.
After the success of last years Clone Trooper and Battle Droid battle packs it's nice to see Lego continuing with more troop building box sets.
The Scout Speeder is a small surface skimming craft with a long open bay which seats three figures and has a large gun turret with swivelling cannon at the rear. One trooper sits atop the turret which itself can detach from the Speeder and be used as a free standing gun emplacement. There are clips along the side for weapon storage.
The best thing about this kit is the new figures in the form of 4 Rebel Fleet Troopers. Finally available, I can see people buying lots of these packs to have an army to rival the numerous Stormtroopers released so far. Two blaster rifles and 2 heavy assault rifles finish the set.
The kit is composed of 57 pieces, not including the figures and weapons and measures 16.5 cm long, 6.5cm wide and 5.5cm high including aft gun turret.
It takes about 5 minutes to build, there are 3 decals to apply and it's ready to go. A nice little kit and definitely one for all those army builders out there.

Summary: Nice Minifigures
Comment: This is an interesting move by Lego. Both this set, and the recently released Imperial Dropship, appear to be original designs rather than based on any vehicles featured in Star Wars movies or related spin-offs. Maybe they will appear in the forthcoming TV series, but looking at the very basic designs I'm not too sure.
The best thing to be said about this kit is the four Rebel soldiers included. These have not been available before and are great little figures based on the troops who attempt to defend the Tantive IV at the beginning of A New Hope.
The speeder itself is a pretty poor model, although it is easy to build and my kids like it. For collectors though, it's not particularly worthy and the minifigures are the main draw in this set. Not bad value but not one of Lego's greatest Star Wars products.
