Accessories
We get three minifigs gear here which is lightsaber, binocular and a spear for Thi-sen.

.

Minifigs
Actually both the minifigs in this set are new. Anakin in new outfit and double printed head while Thi-sen with the new head piece. Both the minifigs actually looks good.

While below here shows the faces of Anakin, which on your left is the usual Anakin face that we get and on your right is the one covered with goggle and cloth.

Freeco Speeder
The Freeco Speeder is something new that we see in the Clone Wars, but anyway the design are quite accurate, because the cockpit are not fully covered. TLG might need to make a new mold if they want the cockpit fully covered.

.
. . . .

Now to the cockpit. The windscreen can be open and it is not fully covered where there are some hole at the bottom on both side. The windscreen can't fully close too.

. .

At the back of the seat there is this compartment where you can store a box which is used to store the binocular and the lightsaber of Anakin. However, you have to dismantle the lightsaber before you store it. You have to remove that white part to do that.

Here's a random shot that I took, which is one of the thruster.

Extra pieces
There are seven extra pieces left after we done assembling the Freeco Speeder.

.

Completed model
This vehicle does not include much of a function, just the windscreen that open and the storage at the back. Other details are added using stickers.

.

Playability: 4/10 In my own opinion, there's actually no playability.
Design : 6/10 Quite an accurate design and sticker added details.
Price : 4/10 Is expensive here.
Overall: 5/10 New minifigure, a good design of the speeder and no playability.
