Accessories

The accessories is very indeed very common and few. You can see from the picture attached, there are spear, bow and a blaster only. But is enough for all the minifigs.

Minifigs

We get two new minifigs here, Logray and Tokkat, also happen to be the main attraction of the set. Both the Ewok has plain torso but they are are great thanks to the new head mold and color! There is also a Scout Trooper, which is the same as the one in Battle of Endor (#8038). The head is plain black.

Speederbike

I love speederbike, but then there are so many different kind of design by changing some of the parts and so we have all sort of speederbike and they cannot match each other although they are all from the same universe. However, this new design is nice.

Treetop Hideout

It's quite hard to build the treetop hideout as the color in the instruction book looks about the same for each elements. The treetop has quite a number of playability too and have different tone leaf to make it looks better. It do looks like a open air tree house.

The treetop is quite spacy and it is armed with a small catapult that can turn around and fire at any place you feel like it and it is very well hidden. Guess this is how the Ewoks spy on the Imperial. However, AT-ST might help expose this hideout as the hideout is not tall enough. There goes the Ewoks if the AT-ST pays a visit to them.

Here's another trap that are used to trap the Imperial Scout Trooper. The height of this log is around the head of the Scout Trooper riding on speederbike. Guess this trap really kills but then I prefer it hits the Scout Trooper torso.

Next, the most common playability of all or the playability that you found in most of the Star Wars set, the flick-fire missile! Anyway, this one is a bit hard to flick, you have to open up the hideout in order to fire this one.

Finally something make sense, there is a ladder behind the hideout for the Ewoks to climb up to the treetop to use the catapult and to release the logs. In addition, this tree can be open to hide the Ewok, and also to fire your dart or missile.

Last but not least, the falling log trap, guess this trap is really meant for the speederbike or the Scout Trooper that rest under the hideout. All you need to do is to lift up the plate that holds the logs. This is when Scoutty Newton learn about gravity. ^^

Extra pieces

We have five pieces of extra parts left after we finished the treetop hideout and speederbike.

Completed model

The treetop comes with quite a number of playability and the new design of speederbike is nice. Is a nice set to have, especially the new Ewoks.

Playability: 8/10 A lot of playability in this set compare to the Sith Nightspeeder.
Building experience: 4/10 Is very hard to read the instruction booklet.
Parts:5/10 We can say this set include us with a lot of green leaf part.
Value for money: 3/10 The price is inflated again here, so is not worth buying at all.
Overall: 5/10 Good playability, nice minifigs, just that it is pricey.
