Box
Here's another battle pack that was released this year, and usually people grab both set together and once they sees it although they are not much of an Old Republic fans. I grabbed one too and I can finally review it. The front of the box are printed with the name and the serial number, there is also the Old Republic printed on the bottom left. The one to one scale are presented by the new Sith Trooper in red while the back of the box show us the playability of the hover speeder.
Content
The content are separated into to bags of bricks, a sticker sheet to decorate the Sith's hover speeder and an instruction booklet that guide you through the assembling process.
Accessories
Here's the weapons that comes in this set, three blasters that comes in different sizes and a brick-built blaster, no idea why I included it inside.
Minifigs
This set comes with four minifigs and the minifigs are superb and greatly detail. Plus, the instruction does not meantion which head goes onto which bodies for the other three, you are free to mix and match. The only thing that some says this one is not a hot seller compare to the other that just have two minifigs, is that this set is from Old Republic (expanded universe) that is not as popular as Clone Wars or the Original / Prequel Trilogy.
Sith Trooper: Both have different design (helmet, face, torso and leg) and both the new one have printed legs. I actually mistaken that the head are of the same for this two trooper I made, there is only a slight different which I need to take two heads, put it side by side to compare. Also the new black Sith Trooper makes the old one looks outdated and pricey with the his newly printed leg. It pretty much affect the old Sith Trooper and I hardly see people restock to sell Darth Malgus anymore since the two Sith Troopers are difficult to sell now.
Republic Trooper: Both of them have the same helmet, torso and leg printed design but different face expression. Finally they get it right as these troopers are not clones. Their torso looks pretty cool, and very detailed, but I have no idea if such helmet ever existed in the game (yes, I never play the game before). The leg print is a little blur which again I would said bad quality and their helmet too, which sometimes the colour is a bit off.
Hover Speeder
This vehicle are rides by the Sith Trooper, it is actually quite small but it seems quite accurate if were to compare with the one in the game. Although there is not much playability, but you get the small quarter rounded plate. Somehow I have a feeling it looks like a stingray.
The hover speeder armed with two missiles, one each on each side of the hover speeder. I think due to the size, this are the only playability that they can implement into it.
On one side of the handle bars, there is a clipper to hold the rider's blaster. Seems like a good function for the rider, since he can just grab his blaster and shoot around once he is out of missile.

Extra pieces
We have four pieces of spare that comes from this set.
Completed model
With the same price, the number of parts was reduced almost by half due to the increase in number of minifigs included in this set. That pretty much explain how valuable are the minifigs. If you are a minifigs lover, this set is right for you, but if you love to h ave more parts, you shall go for #75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas.
Playability: 2/10 Flick-fire again.
Building experience: 6/10 Nice hover speeder, love how they build the handle bars part.
Parts: 8/10 Low number of parts, but cool minifigs and weapons.
Value for money: 6/10 The price is now same with the price back in year 2007.
Overall: 5/10 If you are minifigs lover or Old Republic fans, you must grab one.
