February 24, 201411 yr I like them. Short and sweet. IN reality, the smaller version of the Falcon and ISD (the MIDIs) did pretty well. I could see the Falcon. I don't like the ISD - not much detail since the guy is sitting in front of the most detailed part. Edit: Take that back - only the falcon did well. But I could see it being a sleeper.
February 24, 201411 yr Some day, that cockpit brick on the MF mini will be worth a good chunk of change unless they release it in another set.
February 24, 201411 yr I would buy one or two to display at my desk at work. Haven't seen them anywhere in Canada though. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker
February 24, 201411 yr I would buy one or two to display at my desk at work. Haven't seen them anywhere in Canada though. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker I haven't seen any of the new SW sets locally... Probably a good thing though as I really want the new AT AT.

They are different and cute. Another very collectible and affordable STAR WARS LEGO set.
February 24, 201411 yr Personally, I hate all of them except for the Star Destroyer and Millennium Falcon. They are somewhat true to the original vehicles, and the Falcon comes with a Han Solo, so for people who want a new Han it's a great set. I hope they make more like that, because the minifigures do sell the sets. Give people a red Jedi Interceptor with Obi-Wan, and it will sell like crazy. It has potential, but not enough driving force at the moment. Investment wise, hold off before doing something drastic. Inevitably, there will be a sale on some if not all of these, so IF you want to make an investment, wait until then.
February 24, 201411 yr These are fun. Good B-day gifts and conversation starters to sit on your desk at work. Those conversations will more than likely paint you as a dork, but hey, if the shoe fits..
February 24, 201411 yr I haven't seen any of the new SW sets locally... Probably a good thing though as I really want the new AT AT. At this rate, we will be getting our Summer release Star Wars sets by February of next year. But seriously, why the huge change in the release dates? I understand Marvel since most Marvel movies come out in April/May, but why Star Wars and half of DC Comics?
February 24, 201411 yr I'm not a fan. I too don't like how the minifig is designed to sit on the vehicle. It's just weird. If the figure was separate it may be a little better. I also think most of the builds aren't up to the same standard as previous mini-build sets. If I wanted a MF on my desk I'd choose the 4488. But I guess for the cheaper price and the general consumer being unaware of previous sets they might do ok.
February 25, 201411 yr I like them.And here the conversation should have ended. Cut, print, done. Ha.
February 25, 201411 yr I think they are weird and I don't like them that much. I didn't care for the planet series that much either, but I picked them up at discount. With that being said, I think I can clear about 25% profit if I sell all my planet series stuff right now, so why am I complaining?
February 26, 201411 yr Me and the kids love em. Handling a huge mf or tie fighter is inpossible for little hands to plau with. Ive been wishing for these a long time and plan to seriously load up at 50% off. Not everybody can afford a big mf nor can kids use it. But a hand size kit for $10 with a legit figure? Perfect for home. Travel. Gifts.
February 26, 201411 yr They need a mini Malevolence with general grevious. I hope not, even the 9515 appears worthless.
February 26, 201411 yr If I wanted a MF on my desk I'd choose the 4488. I've thought about taking the cockpit piece and just putting it on this one! i have the 4488 (mind you not in the best of condition) but i was always put off a bit by it due to the lame cockpit piece. I may try taking some parts from the micro fighter one and putting them on this one to add a bit more detail.
February 26, 201411 yr They remind me of Mario Kart for some reason. Probably because of the ad ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBWcpeAczsQ
February 27, 201411 yr Probably because of the ad ?Haha, wow. They really do come across like the Star Wars answer to Mario Kart much like the PS2 game "Super Bombad Racing".
February 27, 201411 yr Haha, wow. They really do come across like the Star Wars answer to Mario Kart much like the PS2 game "Super Bombad Racing".I was just going to post this. I have this game and its freaking hilarious. I like the microfighters. Can't wait for the micro slave 1 and sith infiltrator.
March 2, 201411 yr They remind me of Mario Kart for some reason. I like how the minifigure can sit in the vehicle, just like mario cart!
March 2, 201411 yr Author The 5-year old likes 'em! Me too! As for investing, I'll wait for awhile...
March 5, 201411 yr I think these are cool too, but not sure when the Slave 1 and Sith Infiltrator would be released as micros, when they've already been released as exclusives. That wouldn't make their owners too happy...
