Wookie Attack Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0
This is a pretty good set overall. If you buy a couple of these you should be able to have a pretty good battle setup if you are into that kind of thing. This set includes 2 smallish vehicles and one Corporate Alliance tank. My only complaints on the tank is that
1.It seems really small. I always thought it was much bigger. I mean, the Hailfire Droid is 20x the size of it
2.You have to assemble the treads yourself, and if I remember correctly there are like 69 little pieces that you have to connect to get a full tread. Plus, you only get the exact number of pieces you need, so if you lose one you cant put it together.
3.The finished model looks unfinished.
The spider droid is a pretty neat little model, but the head spins around a lot. The Wookie vehicle included is really cool. I love how the gunner works his gun in the back of the vehicle.
In the end, I say this is a pretty good buy. If you want to boost your Separatist army, it’s a must buy. If you want a cool wookie flyer it’s a must buy as well.

Perhaps the Hailfire droid being a Technic model and the Tank droid being system has something to do with that It's not ginormous. In the previews you can see a wookie riding on it's outriggered treads to place an explosive before leaping off. I've heard people get extra tread pieces, like 70 or 71 links in total. They seem pretty awesome. How long is the chain you can make when it's not rolled up? I have ideas, but I want to make sure I'll only need one set. Otherwise I'll wait for clearance.

Although the Hailfire Droid is Technic model, it is still meant to be set up with minifig scale models

Hmmm... but it's still way too big. The thing is around 18-20 feet tall so 3-4 minifigs tall seems right... the technic one is ginormous.

The Hailfire droid is pretty big in the movies.

about 18 to 20 feet tall. To give you a sense of perspective the Cave Troll from LOTR was about 10 feet tall... or was it 12?

The Hailfire droid is pretty big in the movies. But I do think LEGO made it too big IMHO. -Jamit
