General Grievous Starfighter Review

[customlegostuidos]

Hello everyone I just picked up general Grievous starfighter and I decided to post a review here on the forums also here is a link to my reviews on YouTube, so here goes. Okay first off I do think that this is a great set although it is a little over priced at $50 but not terribly so. It is very easy to build, and there are only a few stickers. I personally think it is a very good looking ship, that has a fair amount of detailing and a lot of playability because of its fold out missiles, its large missile/bomb that it has on the bottom and the fact that it is a very sturdy set. I will start out with a pic of the box nothing special just a normal Lego box.

As you can see it does have a fair amount of detailing from the side with the stickers on the engine, the printed cockpit and the engine exhaust detailing (which is also where the fold out flick fire missiles are.)

One of the nicest features of this set is that it has a slide able cockpit instead of one that you just pop off.

The detailing carries on the the front of the ship with the brown and beige stripes, the top of the engines and the cannons. the ship also has very good rear detailing including multiple engines. Okay on to my favorite part the mini-figs the mini-figs in the set are some of the best and they only come in this set.

Grievous is by far the best mini-figure in this set if any of you have seen the old grievous then you will see how much better this one is. He is a very detailed he has all four arms and his light sabers are easy to position and his feet are really cool.

This mini-figure is a Jedi from star wars the clone wars his name is nadar veeb he has a very cool head its the same as admiral ackbars and lego has only realesad this hed in two sets.

And lastly for the mini-figs we have A4-D he is general Grievous personal medical droid he is not the best minifigure in the set but he is still a very cool droid. and his face is a sticker and it is slightly challenging to get on properly.

Also here is the vary last piece of the set, general grievous medical chair and light saber holder.

okay well it looks like its time to rate this set so.....

looks/detailing: 8/10

Price: 7/10

Mini-figs: 9/10

Playability: 8/10

Pieces: 8/10

Over all:40/50

Pls. kindly resize your photos to 800X600 pixels max. size. I'll convert them to links now and you could just re-upload them once you've resized them.

Sorry about that everyone but I just re-sized my pics so it looks like I'm good to go.

I'm building this set now with my son. Was anybody else annoyed by the fact that through the entire build of Bag #2, the fuselage has 6 grey 2x2 Technic Bearing Plates that sit slightly below the bottom surface, and every time you add anything to the top of the starfighter (if the starfighter is resting on a flat surface), these pieces push the rest of the fuselage apart? My son is only 6 and he frequently uses the flat surface of the ground to push against. I have a feeling that the two grey 3x12 angle plates that took all the pressure might have been permanently mis-shaped because of it. They would often fall apart, and now it looks like they may be permanently warped.
