75040 Star Wars General Grievous' Wheel Bike

An entertaining set from one of the better moments of the prequel trilogy. I haven't revealed the existence of the prequel trilogy to my 4 year old padawan yet (to prevent exposing him to the dark side) but that hasn't stopped us from picking up the best of the "Extended Universe" (EU) of Star Wars Lego sets. I've always told him there are lots of "stories" set in the Star Wars universe and after Disney's recent decision to ignore the EU, I feel validated. I just throw the prequels in with that idea because I would also prefer to think midi-chlorians don't exist. But I digress. This particular set is different from the typical stationary set with a few moving features as the entire wheel apparatus spins around an axel. The seat and weapon assemblies on opposite sides of the wheel provide a handle to hold the bike to roll the wheel over the carpet, the kitchen table, or your little sister. Grievous is a fun villain. In truth his double arms are slightly awkward since his secondary arms attach to his primary arms as opposed to the torso. But his non-traditional mini-fig design (in the style of the battle droids but with greater articulation and detail) makes him stand out as truly different from our doomed Lego Jedi heroes. Obi-wan is a typical mini-fig but always welcome, especially since this set reminds me of Ewan McGregor's swashbuckling approach to that character. This set is difficult for younger, ambitious padawans as my 4 year old required assistance attaching the claws to the wheel. Personally, I feel that it is a good thing when sets present different challenges but it can be frustrating to little ones. Once attached the set is fairly sturdy and fun to roll around the home.

My 5 year old son loves Star Wars and had been going through different options for his xmas present. He never saw this one, because we weren't looking at discontinued sets, but he really likes General Grevious, so this was a no brainer, and when he opened it, he lost his mind. The set rolls great, General Grevious looks cool, his second set of arms is a little awkward, but that is okay. It is a really great set. He put it together mostly by himself, needed a little assistance from Dad, but I wanted to help anyway, since I thought it was pretty cool too.

This is the best of the 2 different General Grievous Lego mini figures. He is a big must-have for any Star Wars lover. The Lego set is very easy to assemble. Lots of parts and a few extra pieces. The biggest plus for this set is that it actually works! Fold up the legs and drive it around. Very awesome. Just like the movie!

I bought this for my 12 year old son and it was an excellent choice. It was a fun and easy build for him, taking just under two hours with minimum difficulty. It is not really a playing toy for him, but he has been able to handle it a great deal without it breaking a part.We will definitely buy ,ore of these Lego sets.

I never got the original Grievous wheel bike, although I always wanted it a lot. So this was the perfect opportunity for me to get a version of it. The new version of the bike seems to be markedly better than the last. I like it a lot but it does have two main issues. First, it has a hard time standing on its legs sometimes. And the second issue is that I feel like they could have at least added Boga to the set again. It almost seems emptier without him. However it is a great set and I highly recommend it.

I got two Star Wars LEGO sets recently, the LEGO Star Wars Naboo Starfighter , and this General Grievous' Wheel Bike. One of the reasons I choose this version of the bike, versus the LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Chase , is because this version has a much more detailed bike, and a more detailed General Grievous minifigurine. This is a 261-piece set that was slightly tricky to put together. The wheel was the most delicate section to get right, so make sure you are snapping pieces together securely. It rolls around just like the movie, and you can let your adult imagination go wild (or give it to your kid, whatever). This is a fun LEGO set, like most LEGO sets. Recommended.

There are so many different ones of these Lego projects! I give them 5 stars if our grandson can look at the instructions and put them together with no problems. I count off the rating if he has problems getting pieces to fit together or the instructions are not clear, etc. As I cant actually GRADE these, because I dont know which ones are the best or not . . . hahaha so when he is pleased... i am pleased!!! hahaha (he is 8, if that helps)

My son, who is 6, loves putting these together. He is very smart and does them very quickly. I can't believe how expensive the sets are, but he loves it! Amazon always has the best price and ships fast!

Arrived on time and my nephew loves it.
