 Wonderful toy for any Star Wars fan's child! May 19, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Being a Star Wars Fan from growing up watching the Original Trilogy I wanted to pass on the joy of Star Wars to my 2 year old son, which in turn has become quite a fan himself (after watching my Trilogy Collection on DVD)! I felt the 3.75" action figures would be too fragile and full of small parts (pistols, lightsabers, gadgets) for such a small child. Enter Star Wars Galactic Heroes. These little figures are great. They're made out of a rubber like material which withstands all the abuse any small child can dish out and then some.Being a Star Wars Fan from growing up watching the Original Trilogy I wanted to pass on the joy of Star Wars to my 2 year old son, which in turn has become quite a fan himself (after watching my Trilogy Collection on DVD)!

The only flaw I can find is that the loading latch falls out quite often after a while and in turn is sensible to break. But this thing has been dropped over and over for the past 6 months and looks just as it did the first day we got it.
But the truly amazing thing is the likeness the Millennium Falcon has to the OTC spaceship. It's full of wonderful things to do: realistic sounds from the movie (engine going to lightspeed, laser cannons and character sound bite: C3PO, R2D2 and Chewbacca) moving cannons; rotating radar, opening cockpit to place Han Solo into, and more. The educational value from my point of view is how it trains a two or three year old child's fine motor skills; They have to open the back of the Falcon and press a button to fix it's hyperdrive and they have to manipulate all the moving parts. It's a lot of fun for kids and adults as well. We spend hours recreating scenes from the movies and he loves it.
This toy has brought my son and I closer in this fantasy world of Star Wars!!The Millenium Falcon is made out of high impact ABS which can take even more punishment than the figurines. The movable pieces come loose when its dropped from great heights which prevents them from breaking. The only flaw I can find is that the loading latch falls out quite often and after a while becomes likely to break. But this thing has been dropped over and over for the past 6 months and looks just as it did the first day we got it.

A bit of tough love can't hurt this toy. April 12, 2005
My son got this a few months before his third birthday (xmas present). He is a bit rough with his toys at times, and this has survived his 'tough love.' He really enjoys the little figures (since then we've gotten him more), and plays with them on their own. The Millennium Falcon has given him a bit of fustration since the guys can't go easily up the ramp, and it tend to pop out as a result of the fustration. I do however greatly appreciate the fact that the pieces 'pop off' instead of breaking off in the hands of a fustrated 3 year old. They are also easy to put back on. His 5 1/2 year old sister likes playing with it as well, and the adults get a kick out of it. If the child you're thinking of getting this for is an extremely rough kid, I'd hold off on it. I'd definately recommend the little figures though.
 very cool toy with a poor design April 10, 2005

first of all, don't buy this toy for a child under five. it falls apart easily and small pieces could break off. it's a cool star wars action set, but the pod falls off and the entrance hatch broke off in the first month. the chubby guys that are included couldn;t fit up the ramp anway. chewie is adorable. keep out of reach of fellow star wars fans who might klepto it.
perfect for toddler-preschoolers April 7, 2005

If you are a fun there is nothing better than these cute toys... fit just right in little hands. Great pretend structure.
Awesome vehicle and action figure set for little hands April 3, 2005

After getting the Millenium Falcon for her 8 yr old cousin, I saw that this was the favorite toy among the kids at the party. The one I got had 4 feet to the Falcon (I guess a spare) and putting on all the stickers was definetly an adult job. This is an absolutely great gift for kids (boys or girls). Very durable and oh so cute.
I wish Hasbro would put out a Galactic Heroes Speeder Bike and Jungle Leia with Ewok (that would be soooo cute and to have a girl with a vehicle) and they also need a TIE Fighter with a Darth Vader! I am looking for an excuse to get the Falxon and X-Wing for my daughter, because mommy already has a big falcon and can't justify getting another!
My 4 yr old daught loves Queen Amidala and kept asking for another one (I found 2 "skipper" sized golls on clearance). She LOVES Princess Leia and her husband Han Solo. She carries then everywhere and has them to parties with the Happy Family Barbie todlers. Now if I can oly find the Padme & Anakin set, she will be in heaven! I hope they come out with more girl jedi's in their two packs. Even though mommy loves Darth Vader, she can't get into the concept of liking a scary bad guy. I guess I'll keep those for when she's older.
With most action figures, not much in the way of educational value but she role plays with these two all the time. A+ to Hasbro and Star Wars for coming out with cute kid friendly action figures!
