Star Wars Dwarf Spider Droid
LEGO Star Wars Homing Spider Droid. As the Battle of Geonosis rages on, Jedi Master Stass Allie and a Clone Trooper spot a deadly LEGO Star Wars Homing Spider Droid in the distance. Overpower the droid before it attacks with its articulated legs, rotating head, elevating lower gun and top-mounted flick missile! Then, take on 2 Super Battle Droids?! I dont usually like to ask for ideas with statting NPCs, but this work week has fried my brain.Im going to be starting up a Clone Wars campaign for my group soon, and Dwarf Spider Droids will show up now and then (theyll be spending a large portion of the game pursuing Shu Mai).
Celebrate an iconic collaboration with this LEGO® Star Wars™ 75261 Clone Scout Walker – 20th Anniversary Edition! This action-packed construction playset celebrates 20 years of LEGO Star Wars sets, including an updated version of the 7250 Clone Scout Walker from 2005 with posable legs, turning turret, space for the Kashyyyk Trooper minifigure on top and a stud shooter. Fl studio for tablet. This cool construction toy also includes a Dwarf Spider Droid LEGO figure with stud shooter, trench section with gun, plus a bonus Darth Vader minifigure from 1999 on a commemorative display stand. I’ll start with the pros.This set has a great design, great figures (3 of which are very mass-able), great side builds, a decent price, beautiful box art (best the Star Wars line has had so far, in my opinion), and only 2 stickers (the less stickers, the better!)The only con is the size of the walker. Again I want to stress that the build is high quality, but its way too big.
There’s definitely a scaling issue with LEGO, and it’s been around for the last few years. Certain sets like the 2014 MTT (75058) and the 2015 AAT (75080) are under-sized, while other sets, like this AT-RT, are oversized. I know the proportions will never be 100% accurate, and I don’t expect that, but I do wish that the design team would put I bit more research into the proper sizes of the actual vehicles to get these closer to scale for those of us who use these in MOCs where scaling is a big deal. And I know that making a set like this smaller is very doable for them, just take a look at the iconic clone walker battlepack from 2009, it’s not a canon vehicle, but it’s much closer to mini figure scale, which is way more accurate to what would be seen in the movies and showsI don’t dislike the set, it looks great, it’s just way out of proportion with the figures, and won’t meld well with MOCs and/or bases unless you do some serious upscaling to them. As for kids or someone just looking for a display piece for the shelf, I recommend it, you won’t regret it. First I’d like to state I do not write reviews often.
Felt this set in particular was worth taking a moment to highlight for good reason. Overall wish there could have been a 20th Anniversary set for each episode (or even film such as including Rogue One for example). This set is awesome for kids for playability—you get good and bad guys.
The trooper is well detailed and find the color scheme is great and accurate. The walker is definitely larger however the quality is there and the scheme looks great.
I do not disagree with the other review however kudos to LEGO for putting a nice well rounded package together here. The walker stands well and can be posed although somewhat limited. Will take sand green anywhere it can be included. Getting another Wookie is great! The black “bunker” bricks are cool and you get a nice amount and the gun pivots quite nicely. Really like the spider droid.
It’s a nice little build and looks nice too! The battle droid is standard—nothing new and you cannot ever have enough so I appreciate it being included. A bonus is the 20th Anniversary Darth Vader. Not a fan of the printing on the back but the cape covers it. It also has the old style helmet mold which in the present day is cool.
If you are looking for a great set to build up an army, to display or if you are a younger child and want an all-in-one set this one is a winner! LEGO is smart to do good sets like this as individuals want more than one and I plan on getting a couple more.
The LEGO Star Wars Homing Spider Droid kit is a great one for play, but it also contains parts that will fit in well with a larger collection.OG-9 Homing Spider Droid:The build itself is not very difficult; it's just wobbly, including once it's completed. The spider droid has very posable legs, as well as a rotating head with a seat on the back for a droid (this is the most inaccurate part). It also includes a rapid-fire stud shooter. I am usually not a fan of the stud shooter cannons and minifig blasters, but the cannon does add an extra layer of playability. The biggest con: the Homing Spider Droid is difficult to pose properly for display, due to the legs moving around where I don't want them. However, that's just me being nitpicky, and it's pretty unavoidable in a kit like this.
Note: the upper and lower laser cannons (for air and ground support respectively) are not rotatable in this set, a little of a bummer.DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid:Very accurate build and a nice addition to the kit. The droid includes a transparent block on its underside in order to keep it upright and off the ground. My one gripe is the inclusion of the stud shooter.
I give it points for playability, but it certainly detracts from the accuracy of the model itself (which is kinda bleh from a collector's point of view).Characters:As this model is featured in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the battle droid characters are pretty much necessary, and Yoda and the 51st Elite Corp are the coolest characters present in the films at the time. This is a nice cheap set to pick up a film-based Yoda minifigure, as well as a sick-looking Phase II clone. The addition of a Wookie warrior would have been amazing, but I believe a Wookie was present in another set recently.Overall:I'm extremely glad LEGO has switched to focusing on Episodes II and III when making Clone Wars models. This results in movie-accurate models and characters rather than Clone Wars show-accurate models (with cartoon character faces and what-not).
How To Build A Lego Star Wars Dwarf Spider Droid
The price-per-piece is low in this set (esp. If you can pick it up on sale), the playability is very high, and it is a great kit from the second trilogy.
This is a fantastic lego set and another great addition to my lego star wars collection. Lego did a great job designing the set and the mini figure line up is great in this set. Yoda is always a great addition to any set and the Elite clone trooper was another great addition to the set. The set probably could've thrown in a third battle droid, but the line up was good. The spider droid was great and the stud launcher that they added on this one was another great addition to the set. The set has a lot of playability and it was designed very well. The value for money was great because it fits the 100 piece/ 10 dollar ratio.
So the set is a good bang for your buck with 30 dollars and over 300 pieces. I would definitely recommend buying this set, you will not be disappointed. Well at first look this set is pretty amazing.
Dwarf Spider Droid Lego
Comes with a variety of technic parts. I am not a fan of technic parts but when it comes to a star wars set, I would buy it no matter what. Perfect set for any prequel fans out their as it appeared in episode I and II.
Also was in the clone wars series. Better then the previous versions made buy lego, for this ones legs are very stable. I sugget getting this set if you missed out on the new yoda mold head. Great job on lego for this good build. Could use some more droids or clones. Perfect addition to the battle of Kashyyyk.
When i opened my set i could not find the green lightsaber pice for yoda:(.other then that this was a very satisfying build for me:) Read more. This is LEGO's third full-size version of the OG-9 Homing Spider Droid, and in my personal opinion it's the best of the three. At just under 10 cents/piece, it's a good value, and has a great selection of minifigures.Minifigures:Grand Master Yoda:This is the same version of Yoda that was first seen in 2103. He has robe printing on the front and back of his torso, and printing on his eyes and the back of his head.
The headpiece is the highlight of this figure, and, like the Clone Wars version, captures the spirit of the character very well. He comes armed with a green lightsaber, although it would have been nice to get his cane as well.41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper:This particular Clone Trooper armor design did not appear in the movies or The Clone Wars TV show, but it's easily one of my favorite Phase II clones that LEGO has ever released. He is only included in this set and the Kashyyyk Troopers battle pack from 2014. The olive green and dark tan color scheme go very well together. The legs, helmet, and front and back of the torso have a detailed camouflage design similar to Commander Gree, and the visor on the helmet is green rather than black, matching other Kashyyyk trooper helmets. I particularly love the fact that the helmet is molded in olive green. He has the standard angry clone face that's been around since 2013.
He comes armed with a standard blaster.2 Battle Droids:Nothing new here, but you can never have too many.DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid:I have mixed feelings about this one. The design is good overall, but I'm not a fan of the stud shooter as its primary weapon, which is mounted on a ball joint. It may be a fun play feature for kids, but it looks a little wrong to me, as it doesn't resemble the blaster cannon on the real thing (that's been included on every previous version) at all. However, I'll admit that the stud shooters are much better than the flick-fire missiles, as long as they're not being used as minifigure weapons. The use of the fencin sword as an antenna isn't something I would have thought of.
I didn't like it at first, but it does look much better than the basic lever, and it's a great piece that I didn't own previously. Even better, the set includes an extra sword.OG-9 Homing Spider Droid:This version of the Homing Spider Droid is well done overall.
LEGO fixed the major flaw of the two previous versions by changing the pins used to connect the legs, so they now hold their position when posing the droid. This allows the droid to be posed in a variety of interesting ways, and also allows it to 'walk' (sort of).
The feet still flop around, but I don't consider that a flaw. The body is essentially the same as the 2013 version, and it looks great. The top half of the sphere can spin 360 degrees, and the lower half is fixed. The weapons, however, could be better.
The dorsal cannon looks good, but its position is fixed. I havn't had any luck modifying it so it can spin/elevate like it's supposed to. The ventral cannon has a 6-stud shooter which I'm not completely averse to in this case, even though it doesn't look as accurate. It can move up and down by about 90 degrees, which is a perfectly suitable range, but it can't spin.
My major complaint about this model, though, is a fairly trivial one in comparison: the inclusion of an area to seat a battle droid (or any other figure) on the back of the top half of the head. It interrupts the spherical shape of the head, making the model look weird from the back. In addition, the Homing Spider Droid is a self-propelled unit, like most Separatist vehicles, and therefore DOES NOT REQUIRE A PILOT (or even have room for one). This is a fact that LEGO seems rather fond of ignoring with Separatist assault vehicles and starfighters, including Vulture Droids, Droid Gunships, Tri-Fighters, and Tank Droids. All of these are droids in and of themselves, and each contains a droid brain that allows it to think and recieve commands on its own. Even if this weren't the case, the tube on the back of the dorsal cannon forces the droid to lean back or fold its head down to even fit in the seat and keep the eyes of the Spider Droid facing forward. Despite this, it's a minor flaw, and does not detract from the overall quality of the model.Final Thoughts:While I do have a few complaints, overall this is a very good set.
It looks fairly accurate to the droid seen in Revenge of the Sith, and it's the easiest way at this point to get the current version of Yoda, which is a must-have for any LEGO Star Wars fan. The set is an excellent addition to any Kashyyyk collection; it goes well with the Droid Gunship and makes a formidable opponent for the ISP Swamp Speeder (Kashyyyk Troopers battle pack), AT-AP or Clone Turbo Tank.Pros:-Yoda-41st Elite Corps Trooper-Battle Droids-Fencing sword-Legs are very stable-overall design of both spider droidsCons:-Neither cannon can spin-Inclusion of pilot/driver seat Read more.
