Best Value for Lego Star Wars

Post by crazy47larry » Wed Dec 31, 2014 12:54 pm

Hi I am new to this board (this is my first post) and I am curious if anybody knows which Lego Star Wars builds are the best bang for your buck? I am buying for my nephews who love Lego and Star Wars (just like me). My main goal is to try and get them things that were actually in the movies (original trilogy ideally) as opposed some of the more new (possibly made-up) pieces, but if it is worth the price it wont matter to me. My budget is maximum $60 US total. Thank You all in advance.

Star Wars is a ton of Prequel (crap) and Rebels (crap) right now. For $60 the best bet might be the Mos Eisley Cantina, it's $63 right now at Target.

There there are battle packs for $13, one has Storm Troopers.

There are Microfighters for $10.

My favorite movie is the second because Hoth is awesome. So a Snowspeeder is only $30, which isn't bad being Star Wars normally marks up the sets insanely high.

Thank you very much. You basically read my mind and re-affirmed my thoughts. I think I am gonna get the Snowspeeder and the A-Wing for the 2 boys. The Snowspeeder is obviously great and you are dead right. The A-Wing reviews sound perfect for the kids to play with (heard the term 'built like a brick' in a lot of reviews) and was at least seen in the movie, even if it was crashing lol. I might consider buying a big box like the Mos Eisley Cantina in the future for the 2 boys but I worry about getting one box for both of them, even if that might be unfounded. I would love to get them an X-Wing but it simply isnt in the cards (too young+too expensive). Gotta see if I can find the Endor Speeder Bikes for them though. Thanks again.
