![]() He has a torso design that’s reminiscent of LEGO protocol droids like C-3PO, with some terrific rusted details adorning his body. His head looks like a giant robotic mosquito or insect thanks to the large orange compound eyes and proboscis-like mouthpieces. The minifigures are of course the only reason why you’d buy this set (or battle packs in general), so let’s jump straight into it.įirst up we have 4-LOM, a protocol droid gone rogue, turning into a life of thievery and bounty hunting. Unlike most Battle Pack builds which sometimes feel like an afterthought, or random selection of parts to build something, this Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike is a really attractive and tightly designed model – something that you would have no problem displaying next to your other Star Wars sets. The designers nailed the Speeder Bike’s design, and the use of bright blue elements helps make the details pop and makes for quite an attractive package.Īs this is a Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike, its arsenal of weaponry is also quite formidable, with blue laser cannons on the front, stud blasters flanking the driver’s seat, and more blasters attached to the back. Unlike other Battle Pack builds, this Speeder Bike is actually pretty impressively designed. The set’s only buildable model is a Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike which has a very striking and attractive azure blue and grey colour scheme. The LEGO Star Wars Bounty Hunter Battle Pack’s most appealing draw is its price – AU$22.99 | US$14.99 | £11.99 for 4 named Star Wars characters is unbelievable value and I predict that this set will sell like hot cakes.Īs it’s a Battle Pack, which is for all intents and purposes a glorified minifigure pack, this review is going to be a little light, but let’s take a look at what this set has to offer. Dengar has also popped up recently in the Eclipse Fighter set. The Bounty Hunters, with the exception of 4-LOM, who makes his debut in this set have had very minimal appearances in sets, most notably in various Slave 1 incarnations, as well as the UCS Super Star Destroyer which I don’t own. They’re pretty obscure characters but because they’re Bounty Hunters like Boba Fett, they’re deeply beloved by the Star Wars community. They made the briefest of appearances aboard Darth Vader’s flagship, the Executor, so don’t blame yourself if you don’t immediately recognize them. Still don’t ring any bells? These Bounty Hunters (along with Boba Fett) had extremely minimal screentime in Empire Strikes Back, and they were tasked by Darth Vader to capture the Millennium Falcon. It was hard not to be drawn to 75167 Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack, which features a colourful cast of LEGO Star Wars Bounty Hunters – 4-LOM, I G-88, Dengar and Bossk, all one in really affordable battle pack! Name: Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack UPDATE: Apparently, the new wave of Star Wars sets have been spotted in the wild in Target Australia, so I’d check my local if I were you to see if they’re already on shelves! The Star Wars sets had an early release in Asia, and a good friend of mine sent some over so I could review them early, so to kick things off, let’s take a look at 75167 Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack! ![]() That said, the upcoming “Summer” wave of Star Wars sets (or Winter, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere like me) did catch my eye and I was determined to get a few. I also think that the Star Wars theme has gotten pretty stale in the last few releases, so I haven’t really bought much of the theme – I think the last set I got was the AT-ST from Rogue One, which was ages ago. I’m not the most illustrious LEGO Star Wars collector and haven’t reviewed much of the theme – I mostly just collect the recent UCS sets, and a couple of Original Trilogy sets where my budget permits but it isn’t that much of a focus for me as say, Super Heroes, Friends or Elves. ![]()
