LEGO Star Wars Separatists Shuttle (8036)

The Lego Separatist Shuttle is a fairly simple ship, big enough to hold a minifigure pilot and the Gunray minifig - it is a Star Wars shuttle after all. The doors for the Viceroy work well by sliding open, nice touch, you just twist the side knob and gears open the doors. The pilot area has an opening cockpit for the Droid Pilot and it is solid gray - that’s because this Lego Shuttle is an automated ship and doesn’t need a pilots window, so true to the shows I guess. The spacecraft is strong and wont fall apart easily like some Star Wars sets and sits down on folding legs. Again the set contains decals/stickers - I wish the Lego bricks themselves would be printed instead. The Lego stickers were mainly blue stripes.There are the rare Lego minifigs: a Neimoidian called Viceroy Nute Gunray and Rodian from the planet Rodia called Senator Onaconda Farr, both great looking Lego characters - as well as two Battle Droids and one Pilot Droid minifig. The pilot has a blue body, older Lego Pilot droids had a painted chest didn’t they, so this may be a minifigure worth collecting as well?Overall this a Lego Star Wars set worth buying, the Separatist Shuttle is a good looker and three out of the five Lego minifigures are rare collectables. Buy it , it is a bargain. The set has 259 parts and an easy build for anyone, didn’t take my son very long.
