Star Wars Science - Optical Command Unit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Son received this toy as a birthday present and it has been a hit! I disagree with some of the criticisms that have been posted.
-The binoculars do require assembly, but it was easily done and allowed for great father-son time. My son got the pieces ready while dad assembled. They were able to assemble it all within 10-15 minutes.
The Pen-Light works really well, and you have to use the magnifying piece to get the pictures to view. If you use the magnifying piece you can clearly make out the projection slides from a good distance. Without the magnifying piece, it's just a blur, but I don't think that's how you're suppose to use it.
It's probably not terribly educational, but it's functional enough for my 5 year old. He uses it to birdwatch in our garden and people watching from the car. Good fun for him.Taking a little time to familiarize yourself with the toy and how it really works makes this toy well worth it.

LEGO Star Wars Separatists Shuttle (8036) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Separtist Shuttle is a nice mid-size Lego vehicle. You're 6 yr. old on up should have no trouble putting this together. It has a nice design (almost 'insectoid' in appearance) and a neat rear opening sliding door.
Pro's-Ship design, opening front cockpit with a blue bodied Battle Droid pilot, retractable front and rear landing gear, a clever technic system that opens a sliding rear door to reveal a small chamber which holds a Nute Gunray mini figure which can be slide out. Also comes with 2 regular Battle Droids and an Onaconda Farr mini-figure(nice head sculpt of Greedo). Also of note is that I like how Lego designed the rear tail fin to be hollow so as the attenae on the front opening cockpit won't interfere with opening and closing.
Cons's-Really none except that the cockpit is quite bare. Could've used some elements of design to show working controls, lights, etc. No biggie. Anyone can modify the cockpit to add details to it.
Final note, note sure but perhaps someone can clarify...I believe the Nute Gunray and Onaconda Farr mini-figures are exclusive to this set.
