LEGO Star Wars Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter Construction Building Game – Games (Multicolor, 8 Year (S), 14 YEAR (S))

Product Information

When this set came out, I and the Star Wars fans around me felt like LEGO was running out of ideas. After all, we literally got the same Interceptor in a different color for like four consecutive years. At least, they could have made some minor changes in the build. is a really nice set. It represents the 'real' thing well, and it's a nice cheap way to get Plo Koon (and a beautiful new astro droid to boot! ). Now let's go onto the scores, shall we? R2-D2 was the major surprise when this set first came out. We received a brand new version of our favorite astromech droid. It was the first time we saw his torso get any changes and they improved the dome printing into shiny silver.

This set was briefly seen on a news video before its official released date, which can be viewed here.When this set came out, the serious collectors were rather surprised. It came out years after the final Clone Wars episode (although we will be getting a few more now, thankfully) and it is a ship that literally appeared for one or two episodes in the end. Jedi Master Plo Koon, leader of a Clone Army task force, scours the space lanes for General Grievous new superweapon, Malevolence, as seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. If the mission proves too dangerous, Plo Koon can eject from his starfighter and live to fight the Separatists another day!

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. If we were in 2007, I would recommend getting this set on the spot. It was extremely worth it based on price per piece, it came with an enormous booster ring that is actually an amazing build itself, and it included the first ever Kit Fisto minifigure.

I can say this directly – this set was too overpriced for me to own personally. A friend of mine let me build it and that was it. Jedi Starfighter sets have always been among the cheaper sets in the LEGO Star Wars theme. Whoever decided that they should do a remake on the 2007 version of this and double the price, was terribly wrong. The clip left to the side belongs at the end of the robotic arm. However, I could not find an angle at which it could fit when the shuttle is fully closed. This set is a depiction of the second Jedi Starfighter used by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. It is the one he flies to Utapau to confront General Grievous. It’s another Jedi Interceptor” was what everyone thought when they announced this set over five years ago. I felt the same way too and was not expecting much. It is almost entirely identical to the 9498 Saesee Tiin’s Jedi Starfighter I discussed a minute ago if you switch the green to yellow and add a few pieces.

Although this set has a lot of resemblance to the usual Jedi Starfighters we get, it possesses some additional playability which makes it a worthy set for children or enthusiasts. In addition, the minifigure of Plo Koon is simply brilliant.In terms of playability, this set has almost nothing to offer. I have to mention the absolutely pointless R2 head which comes with the set. I have found this to be an issue many years ago when every set provided just the heard of astromechs, without any space for the body. Nowadays, we usually get a full droid in the sets which is one of the few improvements for me. This red version of the Interseptor is the one Obi-Wan flew in the opening Battle of Coruscant. I believe we all remember his droid – R4-P17. I am sure I am not the only one who felt the uselessness of this astromech in the movie. This leads me to the thought that we should have received a better minifigure selection. Maybe a Buzz Droid or two which are definitely rare. R4-P17 was simply not enough for me. Here's the build after step seven. Those hinge pieces are for holding on the landing gear and wings of the ship. It's not much yet, but don't worry, it gets better. As with every UCS set, you shouldn’t be expecting much in terms of playability – these are LEGO sets designed for adults after all. However, I can easily say that it is a lot more sturdy than most of the older UCS sets. The instruction booklet features the same art as the box. Now we can clearly see that Plo Koon is being shot at by some unseen enemy. Watch out, Plo Koon!
