LEGO Star Wars Sith Nightspeeder - Set 7957
Calling all SW Clone Wars fans and committed brick heads! Zip through the galaxy and explore the dark side of the forcer on this super cool, movie machine. The LEGO Star Wars Sith Nightspeeder (Set No. 7957) looks cool as a showpiece and has bags of role play appeal, making it one of this year’s must-have toys.
New for 2011, this 213-piece set is a fun build aimed at boys aged 7 and up. When constructed, the speeder measures over 15cm wide x 12cm long and 5cm tall. The main body of the speeder features 2 flick-firing missile launchers and detachable twin pods so the Sith minifigs can catch Anakin unawares by attacking in 2 directions. The pods measure over 10cm long and feature an imprinted brick design.
The LEGO Star Wars Sith Nightspeeder doesn’t disappoint on the minifig front. Open the box and you’ll find 3 brand new and exclusive figs that are instantly recognisable from the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated adventures. The set includes Anakin Skywalker plus Sith assassins Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress.
Each minifig displays the attention to detail that has won LEGO a legion of fans. Asajj Ventress comes with double lightsaber and brand new torso plus imprinted legs. Savage Opress is a pretty cool minfig and comes with double lightsaber plus axe – that’s how he rolls! The rubber headpiece comes off and you get a back-up one in the box. The armour is detachable and the printed details on the face are fearsome and intricate.
The new Anakin boasts a fresh torso with a different shirt design and back printing. He comes with a blue lightsaber.
The reasonable £24.99 price tag plus the exclusive minifigs makes the LEGO Star Wars Sith Nightspeeder set a winner on all levels. It’s bound to crop up on plenty of Christmas lists so don’t leave it until the last minute.
