LEGO Star Wars 8088: ARC-170 Starfighter

Product Information

This set comes with a whole range of printed parts, some of which are unique to this set only such as the sloped printed windows, printed computer with tri-fighter, printed wedge, printed technic disc with Arc-170 engine pattern and printed tile 2 x 2 with DkGreen Half-Ellipse Pattern. Some random instruction page showing the minifigures and the first phase of building whereby we start-off with the center section. Mon neveu de 7 ans que j'initie au légo est ravi de ce modèle qu'il arrive à monter lui-même et qui est facile à manipuler pour mettre en scène ces aventures dans l'espace. Please, do not get me started on the inappropriateness of giving a domed astromech an R4 designation, I didn’t name the thing.

I can deal with it since the look is hard to nail at System scale (on that note, I would love to see a UCS ARC-170… You listening LEGO? Turn your starfighter into a display piece and hold it in a dynamic position with our custom display stand. I know that sets across the board have gone up but I still judge sets against the golder rule (10 cents per brick) so despite the cool figures and cool ship I'm simply . The bracketed stripe along the fuselage looks great and the SNOTed slopes round off the nose cleanly, unlike the older model that used sideways plates and failed miserably. The wings are also supposed to flap up and down but we can't work out how that happens although we have attached the rubber bands as it said to.The there are 3 cockpits whereby the pilots sits infront and the 2 gunners sit in the compartment at the rear. This current model has a much longer wingspan and is overall bigger, with smaller pieces resulting in a more intricate design and tighter fit. The Arc-170 Starfighter is perfected for reconnaissance missions and raids against the separatist navy. My son definitely needed help with the wings as the tri-wing assembly does require some dexterity and attention to detail. Add to the fact that it has printed parts and has details almost similar to the fighter in shown in the movie, Lego has created another iconic Star Wars ship in great detail.
