Customer Reviews

The Ultimate House on Wheels!
I just received this set for Christmas from my brother. Since I'm a big fan of LEGO's and Star Wars, I was very happy to receive this set.

This set has a huge part selection (1669 pieces) and takes about five or six hours to complete. This set includes several Jawa minifigs and is currently the only set that has the Jawa's. It also has several different droids and Uncle Owen but no Luke. Of course, pretty much every other Classic Star Wars LEGO set has Luke so no big loss there. This set also has hundreds of the unique technic link treads which are very hard to find.

Overall, this is a pretty good set. You can remove the workshop from the body of the Sandcrawler so you can access the various droids. It also has a hatch for the Jawa driver and a ramp that lowers so you can remove the crane section. However, there is a lot of wasted space in the set. I would have thought LEGO would have been able to use more of the dead space in the vehicle because it's essentially a big castle set on wheels. Also, while I really like the unique track design and steering mechanism, it doesn't roll that well on carpet.

Despite the few drawbacks and expensive price, this is a pretty solid set and looks very similar to the Sandcrawler in Episode IV. If you're a Star Wars fan, you will like this set. It's a must-have for your Tatooine layout.

LEGO Sandcrawler - "Impressive"
Of all the Star Wars cultures and their related machinery, none has fascinated me as much as the Jawas and their roving droid factory / store. In this set (LEGO 10144), LEGO has faithfully brought to life the Jawas and the monstrous Sandcrawler.

The LEGO Sandcrawler is "Impressive", to say the least. The model is huge, and very well designed. If carefully constructed, the Sandcrawler is remarkably strong, and the steering mechanism functions as shown on the box. The top middle section of the Sandcrawler is removable, and several hatches open to store the crane and numerous mini-figures included with the set.

The mini-figures included with the set are: three Jawas, Uncle Owen Lars, R2-D2, C-3PO, R5-D5, ASP Droid, Gonk Droid, Treadwell Droid, and R1-G4.

Put a full day aside for the construction of this beast - it took me over six hours. For the true Star Wars LEGO collector this set is a requisite, and worth every second of building time.

sandcrawler super glue
I love the sandcrawler .I like the tredwell droid. You will like him too. The details are great. Use super glue on the bottom. The treds are hard to bulid. Be careful when you put the treds on! Awesome!
