Lego Tusken Raider Encounter
Item is in stock and ready to ship.This compact 90-piece mini set features young Anakin Skywalker encountering two Tusken Raiders. Young LEGO builders must first assemble the one-seated speeder for the Jedi and the missile-looking tower that the Tuskens are trying to protect. Then the miniature figures, complete with weapons, can engage in battle and determine the fate of the universe. While full of creative play on its own, this LEGO set may be better served with larger ones for even more imaginative fun. –Pam Lauer

5 Stars People Are Scary
SPOILER ALERT - if you haven’t seen Ep II, you will see a spoiler below.
The set is easily constructed; it consists of Anakin w/ lightsaber & Owen Lars’ speederbike, two Tusken Raiders with rifles, and a moisture vaporator. The vaporator is the most interesting and detailed version Lego has made of such devices so far in its line of sets.
Now, I adore this set, and I’ve been collecting the Star Wars Legos since they were introduced, but there’s something terribly disturbing about giving little kids some Legos which are aimed at retelling Anakin’s first seriously fall to the Dark Side: when he massacred a small tribe of the Sand People in revenge for his mother’s death at their hands. It, ah, strikes me as an odd choice of scene to reenact.
5 Stars VERY COOL SET!
This is a pretty cool lego set. My favorite part is the awesome tuskin raiders that are unique to this set alone. Their moisture vaporater is also a great little thingamajig because it’ll tilt over to reveal a hidden computer if you pull a certain lever. Now on to the bike and Annie. I give this pair 4 stars becaus Anikin isn’t much of a real thrill with his blank features. The swoop bike is almost a superb set, but the front winglike contraptions aren’t that durable and will fall off if they touch the ground at high speeds.(As a speeder bike should)
Overall “Tuskin Raider Encounter” is a great set and is currently my favorite SMALL ep2 set. An ALMOST must have!
4 Stars Great set for beginners
You can modify this set to many forms, which is why LEGO is so great.
5 Stars Swoop Bike Finally Made Cool
I have to admit, I’ve never been a big fan of the swoop bike design. But, I really like the Lego version of the swoop! It is put together very nicely and comes with Anakin and his lightsaber. The two tusken raiders are way cool! They both come with their own tusken rifles. This is a smaller set worth buying and only takes a few minutes to put together. A nice addition to any Star Wars collection.
5 Stars Awesome Tusken Raider minifigs!
Tusken Raider Encounter is an awesome Lego set. I, as a really big Star Wars fan and having collected some other Ep.2 lego sets, had to get this set. You have an Anakin minifig that is neat, with a cape and his blue lighsaber. The Lego version of the swoop bike is terrific and closely resembles the original, plus a really cool colour scheme. The 2 Tusken Raider mini-figs may well be the best part of the set, with their detailed faces. Each also comes with a blaster/”rifle”. As a bonus, you also get a Tatooine moisture collector tower which, when you pull a hinged piece,opens up to reveal a nice little compartment with a couple of coloured computer controls and circuits.
This set is really good for collectors with any other Ep.2 sets or even Ep.4, A New Hope sets, such as the Landspeeder(even though I don’t have it.)The Episode II sets beat the Ep. 1 sets but neither can beat the original trilogy ones.
Altogether this is a nice addition to your Star Wars Lego collection, or just plain Lego collection. Buy this set while you can. May the Force be with you!
