LEGO Star Wars - Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas - 75000

My kids made a wish list of what they would want to receive last Christmas. One of the item that they listed was a Lego set that include mini figures. Since they requested to get at least 3 gifts/items from each of their lists, I have to get a Lego set that is in between the cheapest and expensive ones. This is what I selected from Toys"R"Us which is not bad. It is a set and has 4 minifigures. 



1 x Clone Commander 
1 x Clone Trooper 
2 x Droidekas 



It also features a command station complete with weapons

Tonka: "Mighty Crane"

I remember when I was 7 years old. We lived in the vicinity of a Cartimar. It is a small shopping center with small shops unlike the large malls that have now. You can purchase toys, pets (fish/dogs/cats, etc) You can bargain for prices when you shop there. Whenever my dad will pick me up from school, we would pass by this store that sells only toys and I would always ask my dad if I can get a Tonka Crane. It was very expensive during those days so we can't afford it. Basic needs has to come first. It was only 4 years ago when I finally got to purchase it. However, it is no longer for myself. I got it for my kids. Who I am kidding, it is for me as well...
