LEGO Star Wars 8088: ARC-170 Starfighter

Product Information

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. I know that sets across the board have gone up but I still judge sets against the golder rule (10 cents per brick) so despite the cool figures and cool ship I'm simply .

This great mini-scale version of the Republic’s rugged starfighter features an amazing amount of detail, including folding wings, 2 flick missiles and a mini cockpit for the Clone Pilot to sit in! The wings are also supposed to flap up and down but we can't work out how that happens although we have attached the rubber bands as it said to. It looks like what it's supposed to be, but what I don't like is when they previously released a set and they didn't improve on it by much. Today's value for a new/sealed ARC-170 Starfighter is estimated around ₩425,558 with a average yearly gain of 9% and is expected to level off closer to 8% soon. 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.I bought this set MISB recently, but have yet to build it; seeing how big it is, I might have to wait till I've got some more room. This elastic band also keeps the S-foils in open and close position tightly when the fighter is flying and making barrel rolls. I’m not complaining though, I’ve liked that tentacle headed alien since his crazy toothy grin in Attack of the Clones.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Star Wars Episode III ARC-170 Starfighter set 8088 was released on December 30, 2009, retailing for ₩72,972, it has since been retired. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn’t cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag. The idea is you push the gear rod forward to launch them… but I think the feature planning only got to that stage, because they are literally right behind the nose.It's pretty darn cool, but I'd recommend, if you're giving it to someone younger than the box recommends, to have an adult handy.
