Lego 9515 Malevolence Set Review
This is a set review for the Lego Malevolence, a huge set with the most pieces out of my whole collection. This set has 6 minifigures and 1 vehicle, which is the set itself, the Malevolence ship. It took me about 2 hours to build, and was very clear in the instructions about what piece goes where, which is what I would expect from Lego. The minifigures are General Grievous, Battle Droid Commander, Battle Droid, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, and Count Dooku, all wonderfully printed and true to source material and faithful interpretations of their TV show counterparts. The Malevolence itself is huge, and is made with lots of detail and can have all 6 minifigures inside! The set also includes a carrying handle for easy transportation and play, and has firing cannons on the sides! While it doesn't fire like in the show, it is still a welcome feature to the set. Each cannon has 6 missiles, and fires by pulling a handle included on each side, which fires a missile, but you will have to manually turn it in order to continue firing all the missiles. The inside of the front represents the bridge, which is actually located in the back on the tower part. It has a seat to drive the ship and a command station, as well as space to place minifigures. The back section opens to show 2 small trains, one with supplies and one without, to represent the trains in the massive starship in the show. However, there is not a lot of space to move them around, so it is limited to short transportation from the back of the ship to the bridge. My sister and I have thought of many creative stories and events for this set to do, so you won't be disappointed if that's what you're after! This set is an excellent one and I hope you will consider this one for a friend, yourself, or for display! Now for the ratings:
Minifigures: 9/10 Could have included another battle droid
Creativity: 9/10 They thought of many different building techniques to put into the set
Fun Value: 9/10 There are many ways to play with this and many stories for it
Display: 9/10 Looks great on my desk!
Stability: 9/10 No problems with the handle and everything feels sturdy
Awesomeness Rating: 45/50
Get this set before it's gone!
Note: Sorry to make you wait, I just was busy with a lot of stuff this year, and I'll try to release reviews and more gradually! Considering making this blog more than just for Lego reviews! Special Thanks to my mom's cousin (and my second cousin) Danny for getting me this set! Really enjoying it! Feedback appreciated, and see you in my next review!
