Accessories
There are as much as eight blaster rifles (three long rifle and five short rifle) included, a spear and a bow. The staff are somehow bricks made.

Minifigs
12 minifigs are included and I would like to start from the Imperial army, Ewoks and finally the rebels. So this set have Scout Troopers which is not release for quite some time already and an Imperial Trooper which you can only get from Death Star. The back of their torso are not printed. The Scout Trooper head are black in color like the Clone Trooper (Phase 2).

Now to the Ewoks, I like the printing and their head are like the one of Chewbacca that comes with part of their torso. So their head are not rotatable.

And finally the rebel which have a few new pieces like torso and headgear for the rebel commando. Too bad their back pack is a bit let down. Both the rebel commando and Leia torso are printed on the back

Catapult
The catapult have one function, which is firing function. At the back there are clips to hold a bow and a spear that is used by the Ewok.

Glider
The glider is something special to this set, which I myself was attracted to buy it. Although it cannot be display alone (which is without minifig) but there is a function that the designer add in to it, which is the stone dropping function.

I think the two round parts attached to the stand is to make the stone dropping effect just that they are placed too close with each other.

Speeder Bikes
There is not much changes in the design of the speeder bikes compare to the one we get from Republic Attack Gunship, but there is a slight changes. Since there is no functions install in the speeder bikes, there's only two pictures included.
