While on the top side of the box, we got all the minifigs shown in actual scale and at the back of the box shows they playability that this vehicle holds and advertisement for other set.

Content

Inside the damaged box of mine has five packet of bricks, a dreaded sticker sheet and an instruction book.

Accessories

There is a total of six blasters included in this set, which three of them is SE-14 blaster pistol and three E-5 blaster rifle.

The five minifigs are Assassin Droid, Cad Bane, Shahan Alama, Senate Commando Captain and Senate Commando.

Shahan Alama, Senate Commando Captain and Senate Commando got their torso printed both front and back. Below are pictures Senate Commando Captain and Senate Commando with their clone face:

Cad Bane's Speeder

The design are quite accurate somehow, but still it has a low playability which is flick-fire headlights (- -ll) and a boot to keep their blasters.

Here's the picture with minifigures on it. There's actually ample space available for the bounty hunters, but there is not much of a bounty hunter to put on it.

Right in front of the speeder there is a flick-fire function which is the flick-fire headlight.

Here's where the driver sit and a passenger seat was place beside. Also we got a printed bricks that is placed in the middle.

While's here's the passenger seat at the back and with two clippers in the middle which I think it let us hold the blasters. However, there is a design disaster whereby once an Assassin Droid is placed, it blocked the clipper. Also the Assassin Droid can't attach itself to the speeder.

Now to the rear part of the speeder, which consist of the boot. The cover can be open and close to reveal the boot and it happen to be a good place for weapon storage.

Extra pieces

Picture below shows the extra parts that comes from this set after we have done assembling the speeder.

Completed model

This set actually is not a good set, is just a set that sells minifigures. For those that wanting Cad Bane so badly, this is the set for you as this is the cheapest set to get Cad Bane and at the same time Senate Commando Captain. The playability is really low, seriously.

I think the two should have a good chat before they got shot dead. =P

Playability: 2/10 This set is made to sell the minifigures.
Design: 7/10 The design is quite accurate, the only flaw is that the Assassin Droid can't be attach to the ship.
Price:4/10 The price very much expensive here.
Overall: 4/10 Great set to get weapons and minifigures, also parts.
