There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The best part is that now you can also program/control the robots from MIT Scratch on a PC, just need to install an extension that provides the bluetooth link. After a recent Windows update the Web version of scratch failed to connect to the LEGO boost controller, but the desktop Scratch still working fine.
Also to note a you have to go through the hoops of the app to progress your build. Again, I understand the thought behind it, but it would be great to get a set of paper instructions as well.

Premier constat à l'ouverture, pas de notice de montage... Un simple petit livret expliquant qu'il faut télécharger l'application spécifique Lego.
Soit, bien que je trouve le côté papier plus sympa pour ce genre de chose, on passe maintenant à l'ère du numérique.
J'aurais quand même voulu pouvoir archiver ma "notice" avec les autres.
J'installe donc l'application et je la lance. Petite scène d'intro sympa, j'attends avec impatience l'accès à mes notices de montage, et je fini par arriver à Watto (personnage de star wars) me demandant d'allumer mon HUB Lego pour le connecter en bluetooth à mon téléphone.
Je sors le HUB, je regarde vite fait, il faut 6 piles AAA pour le faire fonctionner. Ah zut, je n'ai pas de piles en stock, et on est dimanche après midi. Je me dis pas bien grave, on doit bien pouvoir passer cette étape et accéder aux instructions de montage... Et ben non, j'ai mon set complet de Lego et je ne peux rien en faire. Impossible d'accéder aux instructions de montage sans connecter le HUB au téléphone, et impossible de les trouver sur internet...
Donc avis aux amateurs, si vous voulez construire ce set, prévoyez vos piles, et j'espère que vous n'aurez pas de problème de connexion bluetooth en votre téléphone et le HUB Lego, sinon, vous ne pourrez rien faire.
Grosse déception de mon côté.

The first thing to be aware of is that *everything* is on the tablet app - both the control and programming of the robots, and the build instructions. The box contains just a short pamphlet showing how to install the 6AAA batteries and how to download the app. At first, I was completely stymied, as the app requires iOS 11, and both my iPhone and iPad can only run iOS 10 - if you have an older iDevice, be warned! Fortunately, I also have a Kindle Fire, and the Android version downloaded and ran on that.
This kit really stands or falls by the quality of the app, therefore. I'd love to be able to say it is great, but I really can't. It steps you through a simple story - you need to repair some droids so that the Tusken Raiders will give you parts for your ship, and it leads you through both construction and programming. I was very dubious about having to use an app to give you build instructions - I have built several Lego kits from PDFs on my iPad, and I've always found it a pain, but actually, these instructions work really well. Just tapping a button to advance to the next build step is really easy - much easier than navigating a PDF, and I actually found them easier than paper instructions - once I had managed to get started. Irritatingly, on the very first build step, I could not work out how to progress - the first page shows the "hub", a module containing the electronics and motors. You don't actually need to do anything with it, but you cannot progress past the page showing it until you have needlessly rotated the 3D image of the hub on the screen of the app - this is really not made obvious, and it took me five minutes of fiddling to work out what I needed to do! But once that was done, the rest of the build was straightforward - I'm an experienced Lego builder, and it took me less than an hour to build R2-D2.
Once the build is complete, you are taken into a programming tutorial. The programming is graphical - you drag blocks together in a fashion which will be familiar to anyone who has used languages such as Scratch. There is both a programming screen and a "control" screen, which allows you to set up programs to run on several buttons and which gives a joystick which allows you to move the robot around. This only worked intermittently - I managed to get it into a mode where I could press the buttons and make the robot's head revolve, but the joystick was just ignored; nothing I could do in terms of rebooting the hub or the tablet fixed this, which is infuriating given that it worked perfectly when I first tried it.
The programming tutorial is entirely graphical - there is no text, and I frequently felt that some words to explain what was happening would make life an awful lot easier, rather than just having to guess what the pictures all meant.
This kit has so much potential - with some tweaks to the app to make it more understandable what you need to do, and some work to improve the reliability of the app's interaction with the hub, it would be brilliant. But for now, only three stars; Lego - please either get your developers to work, or supply a proper paper instruction book with the set!

The Lego Boost projects generally fit in the more advanced builder category as we found with first Lego Boost Creative toolbox, that I think is one of the best Lego sets if not one of the best toys for children. I genuinely believe all parents should have a Lego Boost set around. And given what you get (electronics and sensors) plus the educational experience it delivers, these sets come at very reasonable prices. Also because like in the former set a range of models can be build from the box. So it offers a far more lasting attraction that most Lego sets that are already great for play and display.
This set seems slightly less value than the former non-Star Wars Boost Creative toolbox set as it only includes (digital) instructions to build 3 droids. While so far (pre further updates) you could build and experiment with 6 Boost creations through the app in the original Boost Creative Toolbox. Also this set is sold at a higher price point, possibly due to Star wars licensing aspects. However for that higher price you also get many more pieces; 1177, vs the first Boost set’s 847 pieces.. So I think the price remains mote than fair and it is super fun and educational.
Lastly, Boost sets interact through our children’s favourite gadget, the iPad or most other mainstream mobile devices (IOS, Android and Kindle smart devices). I really appreciate how the creations can be easily programmed by sequences which is a super-educational and funny manner to introduce kids to coding. The age advice is for 8-years and older. However our 6 year old builder stunned us repeatedly by single-handedly and flawlessly completing the Boost projects. Interestingly in this set is that you can create each of the three models and then remove the motor and sensor and play with an other one. So you don’t have to take your full creations apart when moving on to another. Or.. like in our case take the motor-component from the original Boost Creative Toolbox set and let the droids interact with each other.
I’m quite surprised Lego didn't yet release more software/coding updates, further online building instructions, additional electronic parts like sound and light to complement the Boost-range. So I’m hoping and waiting for that.
With the first non-Star Wars Boost set Lego later released some Ninjago and City sets that could be brought to life with the Boost electronic, it would be very interesting if they went on that route with some of the Star Wars Lego as sets as well, we have an UCS Sand-crawler that bags to be motorised!)

I was really surprised that there is no instruction in the box and I can build the model step by step using the app - it was really easy, because you can simply rotate and zoom on the each element. I was slightly afraid it won't work on my LG, as I read in the one of the reviews app is only for IOS, - I was using Android (LG K10) and everything was just fine.
For me, it is great to display with all of my Star Wars collection.
For my niece it was an amazing, Star Wars-themed very first coding lesson and it was so fun to watch her combining and jointing 'boxes' in the app to see the droid moving and making noises.
