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

Product Information

Furthermore on my last sentence on the previous set, set 7256 Jedi Starfighter & Vulture Droid is one of those separate sets that were released in 2005. To sum up, this is Anakin’s fighter from the opening battle of Coruscant in Episode III. 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 personally think that Plo Koon and R7-D4 are all this set needs. Both 'figs look fantastic, and they're great additions to any Lego Star Wars fan's collection.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. 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?

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. The underbelly of the ship. You can see the landing gear now, which can fold into the ship for 'takeoff'. It's a great way to make landing gear for a ship, much better than LEGO's old method of using these. Overall, this has to be the first set on our list that actually has some playability features provided by the booster ring. To be fair, this is a set I would totally spend a fortune on today as well.It all began in 2002 and since then, we have received both exceptional sets and overpriced unworthy sets. I believe I gave clear signs about which ones I like and dislike, and which ones I find of value today. 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 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! However, it beholds some great playability features such as a droid inject function, detachable escape pod, landing gear, and actually a lot more. All the light blue parts have been changed to old light grey (since light blue was apparently your placeholder color for old light grey).

If I have to choose one or two above all rest, I will definitely choose the 9498 Saesee Tiin’s Jedi Starfighter and 8093 Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter. Simply said, I am a fan of exclusive and rare minifigures. In addition, I truly believe these are the most beautiful Jedi Starfighters in terms of color. Ejects' the driver out of the seat. I have to admit, it's a pretty entertaining 'play feature', although Plo Koon doesn't always go very far when 'fired'. I suppose the 'ejection seat' is meant to be used when the ship is on a slope.Although the Hyperdrive Booster Ring and the ship itself were definitely a disappointment, I have to give it to the minifigures. In just one set, you get all the characters from the iconic meeting between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett. In addition, all the minifigures had brand new prints or small additions that were not present in the previous versions. This set was briefly seen on a news video before its official released date, which can be viewed here. I've got to admit, the ship looks great. I know it's based on the Clone Wars television show, but the blue and white color-scheme goes perfectly on a Jedi Starfighter.

Although the overall worth of the newer Starfighter sets decreases based on price per piece count and size, I have always believed them to be an amazing addition to any collection. After all, is there anyone that does not love the Jedi? Here's an overview shot of the ship. From above, the blue and white striping pattern looks wonderful!

However, compared to the older version of Anakin’s Interceptor, this one had a much more smooth build. Anakin’s minifigure had a few minor changes like the belt printing and the additional face expression which you can change to by simply turning the head.
