REVIEW : 8093 Plo Koons Starfighter

[aayla-secura]

I'd like to present you a review of Plo Koons Starfighter.

I was able to purchase this beatiful set for just 23€ MISB . I wasnt even sure if i should open it hehe.

Set : 8093 Plo Koons Starfighter

Pieces : 175

Minfigs : 2

Price : 24,99$

Release Year : 2010

Subtheme : Clone Wars

1) Box

I really like the Box Design, it fits perfectly to the Starfighter and it isnt to big or to small.

Front :

Back :

2) Instruction

Not much to say here, typical Lego Instruction with the functions featured on the last site.

We can also see the 2010 Sets.. i missed beatiful sets :shock:

3) Minifigs

This is my first Plo Koon Fig, i think Lego did a quite good Job at making him. The Head fits very well to the rest of the body and looks very detailed. As for the R7 i dont have much to say .. Its just another Droid... But he fits good in the Starfighter, as it should be

The Force is strong in him :D

4) Starfighter

The construction of the starfighter is kept very simple. Its just 2 Wings and the middle part together.

But the reason why i bought this set, is because i really like the Color-Scheme... it looks really nice with those blue and white effect I would really love to see a Series of the JSF. From each Jedi a Starfighter, or from each "known" Jedi !

5 ) Judgement

Set : 10/10 Awesome set! As i said before i'd like to see a series of JSF

Figs : 8/10 I like the Plo Koon Fig.. not really much into the R7

Price : 8/10 Fantastic set for under 30 bucks.. its worth the money!

Overall 9/10 Buy it as long as you are able to :P

Nice simple review for a nice simple ship!

I really like the Plo Koon levitating his astromech :)

As for the actually set, I think it may be my favorite JSF outside of Obiwans UCS ship. Certainly much better looking than Mace's... although Ashoka's is pretty good lookin too.

Thanks for the review. I've seen that for sale a few times, but never considered picking it up. I do like that Plo Koon figure though. The color scheme works well and the overall design/shape of the ship looks nice. It might be worth a pick up.

Definitely worth a pickup if it is on sale, I received this set as a present and am glad I got it, it really is a decent set!

Brilliant review, nice clear pics and in-depth too. Levitating astromech pic made me laugh

It's a great set overall. The Plo Koon fig is great (even if the head is that rubber), and the color and markings on the ship are fantastic.

The only real downsides to the set. While the colors are distinctive and new, it's a ship that we have essentially seen what 3 other times (soon to be 4 with Saese Tin's?). And unfortunately most of the other versions have a slightly more marketable coolness factor. Mace Windu's has the Stap's the droids and the speeder. Ashoka's has the Vulture fighter and Buzz Droids. This one is basically a well made fighter with some neat blue plate work, a brown droid and Plo Koon. The only real "feature" to the set is the ejection seat which mashes poor Plo's squishy head against the canopy until it pops off. (The canopy or the head, your mileage may vary).

On the plus side, the guy who insists on putting Flick Missiles on everything Star Wars must have been out sick the day that they snuck this kit through design.

It's a great kit. Particularly if you can get it at a reasonable price. But if you are looking at it at full price, I would consider grabbing the more feature rich Mace Windu variant. Especially if play value is part of the calculation.

My only gripe about this set is the bright blue used. Compared to the cartoon, the color should be a dark navy color. Its still a great set though and probably No. 2 to Ahsoka's JSF.

Yea youre right but thats the thing what makes it special.. a JSF for every character :)
