    Theme: Star Wars
    Name: Battle for Geonosis
    S/N: #7869
    Year: 2011
    Pieces: 331
    Minifig: 5
    Price: RM219.90

    Box
    It seems to be a special edition set like the others with exclusive minifigs especially. Moving to the front of the box, there is the name of the set and also picture of the minifigs together with their name and box art of them exchanging fire. The side of the box shows all the minifigs in actual scale while the back shows the playability and and ads for other LEGO Star Wars set.



    Content
    The content inside the big box are three numbered bags of bricks and an instruction book. Quite normal I suppose.



    Accessories
    The set include us a separately pack ARF kit for Captain Rex, two blasters and a lightsaber. Since the rest of the ARF kit are not use, I do not snap the picture.

    Minifigs
    What's new and rare here is Luminara Unduli and Captain Rex, the other three which consists of droids are not that rare.



    Captain Rex got both side of his torso printed, since he have the same torso with plain Clone Trooper just different hand. His face is somehow different from other clone as well.

    Luminara Unduli got her torso and leg printed, also she have two expression printed on her face which one of them is with goggle on.

    BARC Speeder
    The BARC speeder have the same design with the one in Clone Trooper Battle Pack but with slightly different color, which they change the green color to dark red.



    Separatist Proton Cannon
    The Separatist proton cannon have not much of a functions and is quite easy to build as there are many repeated steps especially the leg part and the body part.



    One of the side have a seat for the Battle Droid to control this proton cannon and the seat are adjustable since it is attach to the body of the proton cannon.

    The range of the cannon can be adjust by turning a button in front and it can be adjust higher or horizontal.

    This cannon have a firing mechanism where you pull the red technic bar that is place beneath of the body at the back of the proton cannon.

    The width of the leg can be adjust so do the height of this proton cannon.



    Extra pieces
    There are quite a number of extras left for us since there are quite a lot of small part in this set.

    Completed model
    The set is not bad, as minifigs collector get to kill two birds with one stone, which they get two rare minifigs from this set. The Separatist proton cannon are not bad just that it is a little pricey here.

    Playability: 5/10 Firing mechanism with a little adjustment of leg and cannon.
    Building experience: 5/10 The process is quite bored, or maybe I'm not in the mood.
    Parts: 6/10 Not much of a rare parts over here except the one that link the leg.
    Value for money: 4/10 A quite pricey set although the price has been adjusted here.
    Overall: 5/10 Nice minifigs, but the whole set are just not worth the penny.
