Star
Wars LEGO Exclusive Rebel Snowspeeder
'Lego' of your hatred and feel the Force!
 Apart
from the obvious 'I am your father' shocker, The Empire Strikes
Back was full of juicy surprises. Who'd have thought that
Darth Vader's helmet would suddenly become glossy; that Mr
Bronson off Grange Hill would turn up as Admiral Ozzel; or
that Han Solo would get off with Princess Leia?
Although
not half as salacious, one of the biggest revelations in this
superior sequel was the fact that the Rebel Alliance was holed
up on  the
ice planet of Hoth. Snow and space movies don't usually go
together, but Empire managed to meld the two with spectacular
aplomb.
Experts
(okay, we) believe this was due, in no small part, to the
ultra-cool weaponry used in the battle for Echo Base. And
no, we're not talking about the lumbering AT-ATs; we're talking
about the rugged Snowspeeders flown by Luke, Wedge, Janson
and the rest of Rogue Group.
 And
now you can create your very own detailed model of this amazing
craft, with the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Snowspeeder.
Okay, so you have to put it together yourself, but that's
the whole point of LEGO. Besides, it's far more satisfying
admiring (okay, waving around and making stupid noises with)
a Snowspeeder you've constructed with your very own hands.
Plus, LEGO's lovingly fashioned Star Wars range is rapidly
becoming a cult in its own right.
 This
converted T-47 Airspeeder (anoraks, us?) features two wing-mounted
laser cannons, a rear harpoon cannon (just like the one Janson
lassoed the Imperial Walkers with) and a two-man cockpit with
moving controls and a hinged canopy. Indeed, this rebel-tastic
rocket is so realistic you might feel like jumping onboard
and taking it for a spin! (Or getting out of the house a bit
more).
 As
if all this attention to detail were not enough, the beautifully
built LEGO Snowspeeder even includes a special display stand
and a smart collector's card detailing the ship's spec. You
don't need Jedi awareness to know that anything from the Star
Wars universe is seriously collectable, and the LEGO Star
Wars Ultimate Collector Snowspeeder is no exception. We've
said it before and we'll say it again: there is no try, buy
or buy not!
