LEGO Star Wars 8088: ARC-170 Starfighter

Product Information

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. The wings of the ARC are known as S-foil wings, similar to the wings found on the X-Wing-class ships. My son definitely needed help with the wings as the tri-wing assembly does require some dexterity and attention to detail. Brick-a-brac is a UK based e-commerce retailer specialising in discontinued, rare and exclusive LEGO products. 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.

Bewährte Lego Qualität, das Raumschiff war schnell aufgebaut Dank der einfach gehaltenen Beschreibung. This starfighter’s appeal, to me, is how it pulls off the retro Rebel fighter look while being a clean modern design. This elastic band also keeps the S-foils in open and close position tightly when the fighter is flying and making barrel rolls.

Although the wings are long they do not fall off easily, making it a terrific toy to fly around the room. The Lego Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter kit has unique minifigures, exceptional detail, neat functionality (opening and closing winglets/S-foils) and was a blast to assemble. Star Wars Episode III ARC-170 Starfighter set 8088 was released on December 30, 2009, retailing for ₩72,972, it has since been retired. Turn the gear on the back to open and close the S-foil attack wings, then push it to launch auto-firing flick missiles.

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. 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. Turn your starfighter into a display piece and hold it in a dynamic position with our custom display stand. Maybe if the canopies were printed I wouldn’t complain so much (honestly, stickers on transparent elements and stickers on round elements are both terrible ideas – but at the same time?

Mon neveu de 7 ans que j'initie au légo est ravi de ce modèle qu'il arrive à monter lui-même et qui est facile à manipuler pour mettre en scène ces aventures dans l'espace. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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.

It is worth to note that the windows and wedge have a mirror opposite so that both can be used for left and right side of the fighter.For the 2 gunners, they can easily enter and leave their gunnery stations as both their windows can open upward and the side windows can open sideways. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn’t cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag.

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 LEGO 8088 Arc-170 is a remodeled and updated version of the original starfighter from set 7259 (now discontinued).As of today, 7261 Clone Turbo Tank is the most valuable Episode III set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of ₩1,115,050.
