Review LEPIN 05025 – Homing Spider Droid

Another little Lepin set. On 11.11 for about 1/5 of the original taken.

Instructions are very compressed, just 15 pages are needed for the 320 parts.

First the positive: there were no missing parts. However, there were also 3 problems:

The hole for the axle in the motorcycle rim has a wrong angle for the axle. As a result, the cannon and antenna at the end are not straight forward, but about 30 ° to the side.

In addition, the included trays are one size too big. They go somehow on it, but looks absolutely not pretty.

The finished set nevertheless makes a good impression:

The little spider is also very funny, but the C-clips of the legs are not good.

Even the minifigures are fine:

Lightsaber with the usual air bubbles.

Generally a very technic Lastinger and repeating in some places construction (4 identical legs). The Technic parts hold so far, except for the light gray double connectors on the head, which do not hold well on the pins.

All in all? Very reasonable for the price. The wrong parts are ordered at Brinklink for 3 €, plus a few parts to rebuild the cannon something. This can only swing up and down, nothing to the left or right, which I find quite banana.

If interested, I like to write something about the First Order Tie, Poe’s X-Wing and Tracker 1, which are currently waiting for their construction.
