The Ultimate House on Wheels!Dec 31, 2006
By Gary D. Sabol
I just received this set for Christmas from my brother. Since I'm a big fan of LEGO's and Star Wars, I was very happy to receive this set.
This set has a huge part selection (1669 pieces) and takes about five or six hours to complete. This set includes several Jawa minifigs and is currently the only set that has the Jawa's. It also has several different droids and Uncle Owen but no Luke. Of course, pretty much every other Classic Star Wars LEGO set has Luke so no big loss there. This set also has hundreds of the unique technic link treads which are very hard to find.
Overall, this is a pretty good set. You can remove the workshop from the body of the Sandcrawler so you can access the various droids. It also has a hatch for the Jawa driver and a ramp that lowers so you can remove the crane section. However, there is a lot of wasted space in the set. I would have thought LEGO would have been able to use more of the dead space in the vehicle because it's essentially a big castle set on wheels. Also, while I really like the unique track design and steering mechanism, it doesn't roll that well on carpet.
Despite the few drawbacks and expensive price, this is a pretty solid set and looks very similar to the Sandcrawler in Episode IV. If you're a Star Wars fan, you will like this set. It's a must-have for your Tatooine layout.

 LEGO Sandcrawler - "Impressive"Mar 05, 2006
By L. Strong
Of all the Star Wars cultures and their related machinery, none has fascinated me as much as the Jawas and their roving droid factory / store. In this set (LEGO 10144), LEGO has faithfully brought to life the Jawas and the monstrous Sandcrawler.
The LEGO Sandcrawler is "Impressive", to say the least. The model is huge, and very well designed. If carefully constructed, the Sandcrawler is remarkably strong, and the steering mechanism functions as shown on the box. The top middle section of the Sandcrawler is removable, and several hatches open to store the crane and numerous mini-figures included with the set.
The mini-figures included with the set are: three Jawas, Uncle Owen Lars, R2-D2, C-3PO, R5-D5, ASP Droid, Gonk Droid, Treadwell Droid, and R1-G4.
Put a full day aside for the construction of this beast - it took me over six hours. For the true Star Wars LEGO collector this set is a requisite, and worth every second of building time.

Good set, weak bottomJun 29, 2009

My son had a great time building this. It is the best lego set we have in terms of how much fun he had building it and playing with it. The base is just a little too weak for the size of the toy. Other than that it is a great product.

Challenging but not durableJan 22, 2009
By curlyjo

My son wanted this toy for a long time. He finally got it for Christmas. He is 8 and it is recommended for 12+. He enjoyed putting it together and had it done in 2 days. I helped him a little. When it was done he wanted to play with it. The doors were too heavy and kept coming apart. When we tried to put it back together it would cause more things to fall apart. He eventualy got frustrated with it and played with the pieces separately.

Lego Sandcrawler Review (I couldn't think of a better title! :(Sep 06, 2008
I loved this set for many reasons:
1. The minifigures were absolutely fantastic,
2. The top middle section pops out, giving the builder better access to the insides, (which comes in real handy considering that this set requires more mantinence than it's worth)
Seriously, though, this set should only be built by accomplished Lego fanatics because of how big it is. 1,669 pieces is not for the faint-hearted. In closing, it is a really sweet set.
