![]() ![]() Both side sections have plenty of detail, including the sponson-mounted laser cannons, and they’re small enough that the pair don’t feel particularly repetitive to build. Bag 3 also includes both of the Imperial tanker minifigs. The third bag - you guessed it - adds the mirror-image right section, and the tank begins to come together. Like several of the Force Awakens LEGO sets, the hovertank includes clear Technic flywheels so that the vehicle can appear to levitate (but more on this point later). The second bag includes the left-hand propulsion section, with its tensor field radiator channels attached as a sub-assembly. It’s a mostly studs-up build, with Technic pin holes to attach future sections from subsequent bags. The flick-fire missile shooters are so well-integrated into the build that they’re one of the first bricks you place on the first plates. The first bag includes the parts for the tank’s main body, without the side sections or rear cargo deck. Like most small to mid-sized LEGO sets geared toward the core 7-12 age range, the build is modular, with sections that correspond to the bags. Unlike many recent sets, the first bag includes the set’s hero minifig, the blind warrior-monk Chirrut Îmwe. The set comes in four numbered bags, with an 80-page instruction booklet spanning 133 steps. But if you’re just interested in our recommendation now before you see the movie, this is a great value and I recommend the set heartily to any Star Wars fan. Now that the movie is out, we’ll be talking about the movie’s characters and plot in our Rogue One LEGO set reviews, so come back and read our review later if you want to remain spoiler-free. We’ll be reviewing all of the current Rogue One sets, starting today with 75152 Imperial Assault Hovertank, which includes 3 minifigs with 385 pieces and retails for $30. LEGO released its first wave of LEGO Star Wars Rogue One sets in October, but we’ve decided to wait until both our readers and we ourselves have had a chance to see the movie, released in most countries on December 16. ![]()
