And now for the much anticipated Clone Turbo Tank review: My first words would be that this set is very worth the investment. It's amazingly big (or maybe I haven't built anything big in a while) and of course comes with great figs. I want to comment on the box. I liked it better when LEGO used simple boxes where there's a pull-out tray for each >$10 set. For this box, you have to break two flaps and then cut two tapes before opening the lid of the box. I was so eager to open the set that I missed the tapes and torn open half the box on one of the the sides. Silly me This set features some nice details and working parts. The suspension works great too. This is an easy set to build, all you have to do is put together a plethora of body plates, which fit unbelievably well . Through building this set I've learned two new and important techniques that would help me in my future ship-building, you can find out those techniques for yourself when you buy the set. Hey, the speeder bike looks a lot less fat than it appeared in the pictures. Two points of complains though: first, I hate random colors; you'll find a lot of those on the interior, second, you can't just pick it up by the sides, the body plates aren't permanent for they are SNOTs. Lastly, like most LEGO sets, it's best to approach this set from a distance, examine it and you'll find many color flaws and misplaced parts. Overall 9.5/10. If you see this on sale, definitely buy it, my opinion. Questions? feel free to ask, I don't think I've covered everything.

I hope its more sturdy than the AT-TE (When I woke up the day after I built it and when to play with it it broke into two!)

Hah... so, how long is this? What you can never promise Keith Goldman's mom. Ok, it's about 18 inches.

I'm glad that lego didn't try to make one that held 300 troops... We would be paying a lot more money. lol

The really cool thing about the suspension system is that you can steer the tank similar to the way you would steer a sk8board.
