This set is amazing it comes with great figures and everything. However it is way way overpriced it should be like $35-$40.

The two brothers who combined resources to purchase this have been quite pleased overall, but did give Palpatine a secretary. An evil genius with that much going on probably does need someone to keep up with his appointments.

After hearing of the news that lego was going to make this set, I was truly astonished. How the lego group were going to recreate the infamous scene of the chancellors suite was what concerned me. Being a TFOL(teen follower of lego) I'm not exactly the one to go around and actually play with the set, but rather collect, display and review the set and talk about it(on Youtube)-my username is ha876 and I would appreciate it if you would go to my channel after reading this review as I have many other reviews and cool lego reviews. This is great in the fact that it includes 6 minifigures. I am going to start of my review with Anakin Skywalker. Knowing that this set takes place in Episode 3 of the STAR WARS prequels, LEGO has done a good job on the mini figure. This mini fig is closest in relation to the one that we got in Anakins Jedi Interceptor earlier this year. The differences that I see are the one in this set includes a cape a different double sided head and new printing on the leg and torso.Be reminded however that all the minifies included in this set are not Clone Wars based and rather upgrades of their previous renditions or totally new characters all together. The next mini figure that we have is Kit Fisto. He has only appeared in two other sets before, the most recent one being the 2012 ARC-170 Starfighter. He has not changed since then and is the only mini figure not exclusive to this and not brand new. Now we come to Jedi Master Agen Kolar. He did have limited roles in the star wars saga and has only had a handful of speaking parts but regardless he is on the jedi council and a useful mini figure. His headpiece is the identical to eeth koths in the 2011 Reublic Frigate. Mace Windu in my opinion has to be one of the most bad as jedi of all time and his mini fig certainly does not disappoint. His new face and the addition of his cape make him that much cooler. The final jedi that we get in this set is Saesee Tin. We have seen Clone Wars renditions of him in last years T6 Jedi Shuttle and this waves Saesee Tins Jedi Starfighter but this is the first ever non CW version of him to date. He has the same headpiece but his face looks much better. Start the Sith soundtrack cause now we have one of the most evil sith lords of all time, Chancellor Palpatine. I think the only new aspects of him are his non CW face and his red lightsaber with that awesome dull gold hilt. Imagine if it had been metallic(like dookus saber hilt). He also comes with pieces to replicate his force lightning ability.Building this set was a bit more difficult then what I had first anticipated but being of someone with my experience it was completed in no time. This set really feels like 645 pieces. After building this set it really reminded me of the Home One Mon-Calimari Star Cruiser set back in 2009. The little jedi air speeder is nice and contains 2 dreaded flick fire missiles and an opening cockpit for anakin. Its landing pad is nothing special but finishing the stairs of with flat tiles really makes it look a lot better. The door to the chancellors room does slide in and out but is not to great.Something that i did not know about the set until getting it was that the air speeder landing pad and entrance/door can both be detached and re-inserted to a different area(RIGHT, MIDDLE,or LEFT) using pins. Moving up the iconic table and chair of the grand chancellor we see some nice detailing. There are two other chairs on the other side of the table that rotate a full 360 degrees. This is completed with the nice large glass windows surrounding the table area and in the movie would have the city of coruscant as a familiar backdrop. This is a good addition because it is a very used area in the clone wars series and in the episodes 1,2, and 3, you can use it to recreate scenes other than then when chancellor is confronted by the jedi. Something that I had thought of recently was that in the extra pin holes you could attach your extensions and if you think about it, you can extend this set out infinitely and increase your play value greatly.On this note I give this set a rating of nine out of ten. A must buy for any lego Lego Star Wars fan. Some information that will come out after my review will be the price in dollars for this set. I got this set in Europe when I was on vacation so I didn't have to pay the hefty shipping charge. I feel that will price this set at [$] but it could be anywhere from $70 to $110. Whatever the price, if you buy this set you will definitely be glad that you did.
