Title says it all, but this purchase is more for collecting/building than for investing. I like both trilogies but I lean towards the old trilogy. Can't decide even after reading lots of reviews which one is a better buy. Thanks.

i think you should get the 75012 Barc Speeder with Sidecar. And if you haven't noticed the 75003 A-wing Pilot's head is the same one as the LOTR Samwise Gamgee's head.

Barc speeder comes with much better mini figs plus the sidecar is just awesome the way it can maneuver.

Thanks for the help.

no prob!

I did not even realize that until you mentioned it. Good eyes!

To answer the original question, it depends on which side of the Star Wars universe you enjoy better. I have every A-Wing LEGO has done so I will definitely get this new one soon. Plus the pilot is really cool and finally gets his 'true' helmet. But I also like the other set as well. The Clone Trooper and two vehicles in that set are just great, and I believe it is a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Both sets have three minifigs and the same price. Hmm, tough call. I am planning on getting both eventually, myself.

just picked up 5 more Barc speeders... they rang up as 13$, but had 9.97$ tag on them... woo hoo!

For the minifig selection: definitely the speeder. It has Obi Wan and Rex. This is the best Rex done to date, and is a must for any collection, imho.

 

But, I also have the A-Wing, so I say go with both if you can as both are retiring.

Speeder--two words:

 

Captain Rex

 

Rex is a must--and I guess that's IMHO, too, but he's still a must.
