Lego Star Wars Vulture Droid is one of the new Star Wars sets released in March 2014. This set retails for $24.99 and is available on Amazon. Below is a brief video review and my remarks regarding the set.
Pros:
- Includes two spring-loaded shooters
- All 10 sand blue parts are unique to this set.
- First minifig-scaled vulture droid by LEGO, and a pilot droid fits inside the cockpit
Cons:
- Only one unique minifig
- High price-per-piece ratio
After 3 renditions of the vulture droid, LEGO finally made one to minifig scale. It features a sturdy and simple transformation feature and can hold a pilot droid. The spring loaded launchers add great playability to the model. Unfortunately there aren’t notable minifigs in this set if you’re looking for non-generic characters from the Star Wars universe. As a parts pack, it is not the best due to the higher than average price-per-piece ratio. There are a few sand blue parts, but they can be obtained on Bricklink once they become more prevalent.
A pilot? Vulture droids are droids, not ships. They’re not supposed to have a pilot.
