LEGO Star Wars TM Han Solo’s Landspeeder 75209 Building Set

It's clear that Han Solo is part of a very high speed chase against the Empire in the Solo teaser trailer. Whether his speeder will survive said chase is unknown, but it is a very cool ride. The build is fascinating and keeps you guessing until the third and final bag. It appears almost boat-like for a large part of the build, but once the last pieces are added it looks accurate to the speeder we see in the trailer. The dark blue colour scheme and overall shape look good. On the underside of the speeder are small wheels and the model is sturdy enough to survive being whooshed along the living room floor. The top of the speeder is removable with storage inside for a wrench and extra ammo. Even the spring-loaded shooters are well hidden, so the speeder also looks great on display. The minifigure of a young Han Solo looks great with detailed printing on his jacket and a reversible headpiece - one side his typical smug grin and the other looking determined. Qi'Ra's character is still very mysterious but her minifigure looks great, although the colours could be a bit brighter. Both minifigures come with blaster pistols. Corellian hounds aren't seen in the trailer but judging by the size of their teeth it's safe to guess that they may be guard dogs. This set is a perfect harmony between playability and display value. The exclusive minifigures are amazing and the set is good value for money. If you only want a small set from the Solo range then make it this one.

This is a very solidly built set. I was worried from the initial image that the set would be bland, but now that I have it, I love it. The top comes off to reveal the engine and a storage compartment. The back houses a removable power core. It's those little details that make this an excellent set. I highly recommend this for any Star Wars fans!
