Description
Sith Nightspeeder:
The main body features a double connecting system with two flick-fire launchers attached to slanted tiles to the right of a side ram build with slopes facing SNOT. Two speeders can disconnect and connect to the main body from just a shaft stick.[1]This set is based of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes "NightSisters" (Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress) and "Monster" (Speeder and Savage Opress).
Background
The Sith Nightspeeder was a type of speeder used by Nightsisters on Dathomir. The speeder could carry one pilot and one passenger. Nightsister Asajj Ventress used a Sith Nightspeeder to journey to the Nightbrother village, in the hopes of finding a suitable warrior as a new apprentice for Count Dooku. The warrior was to be used to gain the Count's trust, then to kill him. When Ventress selected Savage Opress as the most suitable candidate, he left with Ventress in this speeder.

<Sith Nightspeeder Review> The Sith Nightspeeder is the first set of it's kind, and was first seen in the Lego Club Magazine™ Star Wars™ comic. It is also my favorite set. It was one of the first sets to feature the "Star Wars™: Clone Wars™ Season 3/4" look for Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress, and the first to feature Savage (suh-Vaj) Opress.
Minifigures
ANAKIN SKYWALKER™ Lets take a look at Anakin. Now, while you notice that he still has the same hair, arms, and legs as version 1 Anakin, if you closely, you'll also see that, he no longer wears the two gold stripes on his belt, but now sports a shiny silver buckle.He also no longer has a shoulder/chest-plate, but instead, is entirely clothed in dark robes. He also has a thinner, more defined scar.
ASAJJ VENTRESS™ We now turn to Ventress. Her outfit is entirely changed. She no longer wears a dress/robe, but instead wears more of a jumpsuit (for easier mobility I suppose). (Just as a thought/suggestion, i think that Lego really ought to make Ventress' ship.)
SAVAGE OPRESS™ As i mentioned before, this is the first set to feature Savage Opress. If I had to choose a favorite Sith, it would definitely be Savage. He is is pretty much the same as the new Darth Maul, the only big difference being that he is yellow shinned, instead of red skin like Maul. His hairpiece is is not the first of its kind, but is still the newest type of hair I've seen so far this year.
PROS
- This is a very cool set.
- Easy/fun build.
- New looks for Minifigures.
- New Minifigure!
CONS
-The detachable speeders sometimes fall off during play.
Would I recommend this set to a friend?
Yes, I would and have.
