Customer Reviews
Excellent, with only minor flaws Posted 21 January 2007
I picked this up along with a Clone Battle Pack and Droids Battle Pack, both of which I've also written reviews on.
This is a nice addition to the Star Wars Ep III sets, which really weren't all too good. This is definetely one of the good sets.
Let's start with Grievous. The body is the same as the other General Grievous from the Grievous Chase LEGO. Battle droid body and legs, but four arms and obviously a different head. The lightsabers are just plain ol' lightsabers. Nothin special about em. There are two different things aboutthis Greivous though. The first difference is that he doesn't come with his cape, which isn't a problem; it actually got in the way of placing him on the wheel-bike in the origonal set. The second difference is that he comes with a blaster. It's a new blaster, differently shaped and better detailed.
The starfighter itself was a little nicer then what I had first expected. It's very easy to construct and light-weight. It also has an interesting sliding cockpit, which if I'm not mistaken, has never been on another LEGO starship before. Theres a small place under the craft to store his lightsabers, which really helps if you have a hard time keeping track of them (I know I do), but no place to put the blaster (not a problem). The laser are slightly movable. There are two small flaws. One of these is that the lightsaber holder can get in the way of holding and placing the ship forboth play and display. It can be taken on and off easily enough. The second is that the landing gear in the back can ocassionally fall off during rough play. This does not happen every time and it can easily be placed back on.
This is a nice deal for only $[...], especially if you need a General Grievous figure. Even if you already have the wheel-bike you should consider getting this anyway; it's a great deal.
