A nice fun little polybag. Nothing too special, but I'm sure the memes in the comments will make up for it.
I want it for my collection
It looks a bit clunky at this scale, but that is by far my favorite ship from the prequels. It's the muscle car of starfighters.
Found this polybag in 2016. It is a fine addition to my collection.
This would make a fine addition to my collection....
But really! This really looks good for an 11 year old set! (Wow, 11 years? I expected something with its reputation to be a bit... older)
(Ok, I'll stop the grevious jokes. They're so uncivilized)
Hello there!
General Kenobi! You are a bold one! Can't avoid to remember this epic quote...
At least this one wasn't overpriced.
I thought this was the one from 2010, then I realized It was the mini one from 2009, then I also realized that 2010 was ten years ago.
Somehow I think the proportions on this minibuild are actually MORE accurate to the source material than the full-scale models, or at least the 2007 edition I managed to pick up 7656
You could toss in half a dozen or more of these polybags with the new minifig-scale set and it would still be a bit overpriced.
I enjoyed the prequal episodes but I don't have that many sets of them. And the ones I have are mostly in the parts bin now.
Hello there, 8033 . You are a bold one!
I expected someone of your reputation to be a little... older. Although, you’re also a little smaller than I expected.
Nonetheless you’ll make a fine addition to my collection.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been trained in General Grievous quotes... by Count Dooku! Shame it’s considered so uncivilised. (Okay, I’ll stop now)
hello there
For the scale a reasonable likeness and ok for a promotional freebee set (2nd day in a row), but I wouldn't buy it when the far more playable 7656 was around at the same time for only $20.
This was on of the very first polybag sets I purchased coming out of my Lego dark age.
so adorable! had no idea about this one; wonder how much of it i can build from my collection. hells, make a multicolor fleet of 'em
