Set Guide Entry: 8128 Cad Bane's Speeder

[zwolya]

Pros:
-the minifigs, obviously. Bane and the Senate Commando might as well be exclusives, since they're only available in other sets that are 2+ times the cost. Shanan Alama and his Pearl Gold arm and the Senate Commando Captian actually are exclusives
-sleek design, besides the unique shape for a ship overall
-seats six minifigs, with plenty of (hidden) cargo room
-the engine design is truly spectacular
-plenty of dark blue and trans-light blue pieces
-the flick-fire missiles are actually not that bad; they work a lot better than any other set I've seen them included in

Cons:
(all the usual complaints)
-MSRP is a bit steep, I waited for a sale so it didn't hurt as much
-the ugly clone faces
-stickers, not printed; this is worst on the rounded engine bricks

Comments:
-overall, this set is a good source for many rare and exclusive minifigs, a good selection of uniquely shaped or colored pieces, and has good swooshability, playability, and displayability
