LEGO Star Wars Corporate Allliance Tank Droid (7748)

I had searched for this item at [...]. It was on backorder! I was so thrilled when I found it on Amazon.com. The Tank Droid was a birthday gift for my grandson. He loved it! Thank you, Amazon.com for coming through again. I have been very much pleased with the service I have received through Amazon.com and will most definitely continue to use that web site.

I bought this set because I wanted the new jet troopers for my clone army. This set comes with two normal clone troopers with printed heads, helmets, and torsos. They are also equipped with short blasters and new awesome jetpacks. In addition to clones, this set also comes with two standard battle droids that are also equipped with short blasters. This set also comes with a small catapult that is used to shoot the jet troopers at the tank. The tank droid itself is a fairly simple build and when finished it looks very sleek and menacing. The tank is equipped with two primary blaster cannons, and two secondary blaster cannons that also double as flick-missiles. Here are the basics of the set:

The good things

clone troopers
jetpacks
Battle droids
Short blasters
Catapult
Tank droid
Primary blaster cannons
Secondary blaster cannons
Two printed circular plates
Track

The bad things

Jet troopers need a distinctive insignia
Flick missiles

Over all, I highly recommend this set.

P.S. Put the jet troopers on the studded piece behind the flat piece on the catapult, and they will fly a lot further. Rating: 5 / 5

Lego used to be toys that kids used their imagination to build different things. It is fun, however kids can not expand their mind and imagination playing with lego.

My son recently chose this toy. He had an easy time putting it together, though the treads were difficult. One thing I note is this is a very light model, I would almost say flimsy. It has very few Lego/Technic pieces, with a huge percent of of the 216 piece count is the individual pieces of tread. There really wasn’t that much to build. It also doesn’t lend itself to piece scavenging as much of some of the other kits do, e.g. there are no wing pieces.

That said your Star Wars obsessed Lego fan will think its great. Even if you might think its not the best value kit out there.

Very cool, fun tank set. Nicely designed and the tank seems close to the one it's based on.

PRO's- Tank design, moving center treads, long flick fire missiles, 4 mini-figures (2 Battle-Droids, 2 Clone Troopers with neat little white jet packs on their backs). Also cool is a little 'launcher'. You stand the figure into it and simply snap down(do it quickly and hard) on the front of it and it'll send your little Jet Pack Trooper soaring!

CON's-Tank treads don't seem to move well on smooth surfaces. Rougher surface like a bed or carpet or on the couch works great.

Nice smaller set. I recommend it. Rating: 4 / 5
