DREAMLOCK # 5503 STAR RIDERS - SNOW BAT STARSCOUT

We found this at Toys R Us recently and at R 99.00 would make for good value based on a pieces count of 178.



The name of the set is a mouth full and it is clear that the model is based on the Snow Speeder as produced by Lego®


The set does however com with only one mini-figure and no other accessories. While the print on the mini-fig torso is great and well detailed a standard mini-fig helmet is used.

The bricks are of fair quality, it is however evident that the moulding process is not as accurate (lower tolerances) as more reputable brands. There is a significant absence of stickers or printed blocks which would have added some detail and improved the overall aesthetic of the completed model. An alternative build is available, there are however no instructions included.

  1. Awesome. I just bought no. 5502, the model one below yours, for R170 from PNA.
    It is advertised as 3 in 1 deformation with idea pictures but missing building instructions.

    It also came with 2 heads, instead of 2 hands.

    So far my son loves it!

    And I loved building it for him too...
