    Theme: Star Wars
    Name : Pirate Tank
    S/N : #7753
    Year : 2009
    Pieces : 372
    Minifig : 3
    Price : RM299.90

    Box
    LEGO Star Wars box art for the year is red and white as Lucas wanted and the front show us some minifig and the set itselt, while at the side show us the actual minifig scale for all three of them. While at the back of it show us their functions, some other sets picture. Below are the pictures of the box art:






    Content
    Inside the box are five packs of bricks, a sticker sheet and an instruction booklet.





    Like any other new instruction book, there is a brick checklist. It also includes pictures of the functions and advertisement for the Star Wars theme.

    Accessories
    Here's some weapon given for the minifigs. There is this Obi-Wan lightsaber with metallic hilt and two pistols and a sword which I don't think the pirates are actually using pistols and sword. (-_-")


    Minifigs
    We are given Obi-Wan (again) and two new pirates minifig. I guess this is the reason why some people are buying this set. The pirates got both side of their head printed so do their torso and Turk Falso are bald for a reason, which is to fit into the cockpit.




    Pirate Tank
    I don't really like the pirate tank, the process of building it is a little boring and it's a little ugly. Below are the pictures from different angle (without sticker on):











    Below it are some hidden wheels like Republic Fighter Tank (#7679) so that this tank can seems like hovering.

    The front got two flick fire missile, but there's no need for us to flick it, but instead we push a gray bricks and it will fire.'



    Notice the back pieces is moved to the front?

    The front cannon can be turn up an down and swing it sideway. However, the pirate that control this cannon will have to stand as the space it is too narrow and too deep.




    At the back of it have flick-fire missile too, this time we really need to flick it and the one at the back is adjustable, shoot high or shoot it a little low.




    Here's the cockpit of the pirate tank. It is very very empty, no controller, no monitor, no seat, and here's the picture:


    When you push the black piece in between the flick-fire missiles and roof back there, it will higher up the seat and the pin will push the side open. That's how the thing works.




    Here are some views of the engine:






    Extra pieces
    Here's the extra pieces that left and it includes some accessories which I think is pretty good.


    Completed model
    This is the whole thing after you combine all the 372 pieces of bricks together. One more pirate is piloting the tank.  Smiley


    Playability: 8/10 Nice playability, especially the blowing-up cockpit and push fire mechanism.
    Design : 6/10 Not really like the design of the tank, maybe because it seems long and empty.
    Price : 4/10 The price here is over priced.
    Overall: 6/10 Nice minifig and playability, but an expensive stuff.

    Hope you guys like the review.  Wink
