An excellent toy. My sons 5 and 10 really enjoy their legos. This Starfighter was purchased with their own money that they had saved for quiet awhile. They were not disappointed!
It is totally awesome !!! love it May 26, 2010
This awesome new set is great. With the push of a button the missile bombs fire out,and with the turn of a switch the wings lock into attack position,opening cock pits and more. Get this set it is awesom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Legos are very educational and you can't go wrong with Star Wars since they are collectibles and valuable.

The starfighter looks good (except the nose). Nice collectible. Cool minifigs. I used to pay collectible's price to get a hold of LEGO sets with Kit Fisto; now I can just pay retail.

As always, Amazon delivered the product in 2 days with Prime membership.
The LEGO 8088 Arc-170 is a remodeled and updated version of the original starfighter from set 7259 (now discontinued). 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 color palette is also very nice, however, the set does come with stickers, which I have chosen not to apply. Bear in mind that the three cockpit windows are technically blank, and the white window separation is achieved through stickers.
In the core of the Arc-170 is an exceptionally clever LEGO brick engine, composed of 2 interior gears; turning it lowers/raises the wings, reminiscent of the X-Wing. I personally feel the price tag for this set is a bit on the high side in terms of bricks:price ratio, but the well engineered engine mechanic is no doubt the cause of this.
When purchasing this set, one is essentially paying a premium for the additional labor cost used for design. Of the more recent Star Wars sets, this is the only one to incorporate Technic pieces on this scale.
Comes with 4 minifigs [2 clone pilots, the Jedi (whose head is made of rubber), and 1 astrodroid].
Conclusion: There are much better LEGO Star Wars models out there if you're looking for a good bricks:minifigs:price ratio. However, if you're interested in a more technical set that "moves" with not just wheels and kinetic energy, this is for you.
