LEGO Star Wars 8088: ARC-170 Starfighter

Product Information

The boxart is the Episode III type of boxart with lava splashing and vader's helmet at the top right corner. Up in the droid socket is R4-P44, a typical looking astromech with a dark green dome and highlights. Other parts include gears, the clear technic gearbox, elastic bands and technic ball joint for the S-foils.

Lastly, Kit Fisto is tagging along, I can only assume this because he’s green too and Jedi like to color coordinate with droids. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn’t cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag. It is on scale with the x-wing, which gives it an even more "authentic" feel and scale when put next to the iconic X-Wing.BrickEconomy, the BrickEconomy logo and all content not covered by The LEGO Group's copyright is, unless otherwise stated, ©2024 BrickEconomy. Please, do not get me started on the inappropriateness of giving a domed astromech an R4 designation, I didn’t name the thing. 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. Speaking of the S-Foils, they work pretty much like the X-Wing sets: turn a Technic gear on the back to engage the hidden worm gear inside the ship and T-bars spread the little wings thanks to a slot in the main wing.

This elastic band also keeps the S-foils in open and close position tightly when the fighter is flying and making barrel rolls. Behind the pilot is the hole where you insert the blue transparent 1x1 circular bricks into the bomb bay. The Arc-170 Starfighter is perfected for reconnaissance missions and raids against the separatist navy.

Turn your starfighter into a display piece and hold it in a dynamic position with our custom display stand.

However, if you're interested in a more technical set that "moves" with not just wheels and kinetic energy, this is for you. Of the more recent Star Wars sets, this is the only one to incorporate Technic pieces on this scale. Although the wings are long they do not fall off easily, making it a terrific toy to fly around the room.

Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product.Great product but the item was missing the wheel, one of the biggest piece in the set and it looked like it was previously opened. The one right above it needs that room to avoid trapping the pilot if his backseat driver hops out first so it can’t be helped. First let me say that I never picked up the first version of the ARC-170, despite the fact that I like the ship.
