Lego Star Wars Microfighters Series 2 Snowspeeder & Pilot Set 75074
Having already had a look at the AT-AT in this series it's time to take a look at the Snowspeeder & Pilot set.
The rest of the vehicles in this series are:
Homing Spider Droid
Vulture Droid
ARC-170 Starfighter & Clone Pilot
Republic Gunship
I won't be picking up any of these sets. I don't hate the prequels, but I am picky about what I'll pick up from them.
So this set is another of the Microfighters range so it's a small build that took me about 15 minutes to complete.
Let's take a look at the pilot first.
The detailing on the pilot is excellent. He has printed tubes, buttons, and buckles over his torso and legs and the mask and strap from the helmet are also printed straight onto the Minifigures face. The helmet has the Rebel insignia printed on it which is a nice touch and he has 2 faces - one happy (shown above) and one a bit more terrified!
The Snowspeeder is a great little interpretation of the ship from the movie but I do actually like the AT-AT more.
The ship also has 2 missiles underneath which kind of fire if pushed from behind.
The figure sits nicely in the Snowspeeder, looking like a kid on a fairground ride which I love the look of!
Again, I'd completely recommend these if you want to save cash and space and, for me, I love the minifigures so these are a double win for me.
Go Figure!

Lego Star Wars Microfighters AT-AT Set 75075
The second series of Lego Star Wars Microfighters have been released and having picked up the original trilogy vehicles from the first series, how could I turn these down? This series, which takes the vehicles from Star Wars, and shrinks them down into an utterly adorable ride on vehicle. I have only picked up the two original trilogy vehicles in this wave - the AT-AT and the Snowspeeder - and in this review I'll be looking at the AT-AT.
This set, as with all of them, comes with a minifigure. The minifigure with this set, is unsurprisingly, an AT-AT pilot.
And underneath the helmet, the Imperial officer looks nice and angry!
As far as the AT-AT goes, it's an easy build that takes about 15 minutes and looks great when it's complete.
And to give you a bit of size perspective
These really are small, but they look great! And they don't take up nearly as much room (or as much of a bite out of your bank balance) as the full size versions.
There is a little articulation in the vehicle. The head moves up and down and the legs move back and forth as do the ankles.
If, like me, you don't have the money or space for the full size versions of the vehicles from Star Wars, these are for you!

Star Wars Black Series Wave 4
Wave 4 of Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series have been unveiled, and this bad boy is a personal favourite!
Bossk! Lizard bounty hunter that mocks your need for shoes!
Others include Han with tauntaun in Hoth gear, Luke in Hoth gear with Wampa, Clone Trooper Lieutenant, Han (again) in stormtrooper gear, and Tie Fighter Pilot.
These are all really nice, but not sure if I'll be adding any of these to my collection (other than Bossk, and maybe that clone. I've always liked the look of their armour). I can only imagine that Han with tauntaun and Luke with Wampa will be VERY expensive.
The Imperial Shadow Squadron is a Target exclusive over in the states so I've no idea where we'll be able to pick this up in the UK (probably Amazon), but this is a very nice set.
Good luck hunting these guys down if you like to collect all of the Black Series! Go Figure!
