What reviewers are saying

"It doesn't get much better than 810 pieces for $90 when it comes to Star Wars, and when a Star Wars set is beautiful, you know there's something special going on."

EuroBricks

"Anakin's racer, I want to say, looks very good for something that is now 9 years old."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

8038 Battle of Endor 80 — Reviewer identifies this as one of the 'sets too good to pass up' in the Star Wars line, same caliber

8092 Luke's Landspeeder — Reviewer identifies this as one of the 'sets too good to pass up' in the Star Wars line, same caliber

7666 — Reviewer calls this 'the infamous 7666' as one of the best Star Wars sets; 7962 is compared as reaching that level

2009 Anakin Skywalker podracer — New Anakin has better defined details on tunic, more expressive manga-like face, though old one's face reminds reviewer more of the character. Overall prefers the new one.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Clear technic pieces
Create a slim profile and look much slicker than the clunky tan bases of old; make the pod appear to be flying
Quarter dome piece in PoP
Works very nicely to make the wings flow together on Sebulba's pod
Yellow technic bits in 4L bars
Small detail that looks nice; also come in grey in this set
Large orange wheels
Used on the backs of Sebulba's podracer
Trans-pink bars
Part of the good parts selection in the set
Grill tiles and brown detailing
Used to create an unfinished look on the engines similar to the film
