Star Wars 2010 - 8088 ARC-170 Starfighter

There has been a little news of late about all the new Star Wars Lego sets for 2010.
This 8088 set looks pretty good, with a nice selection of Star Wars minifigures to collect.

The Lego Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter set number 8088 is a good remake of the old 7259 Lego kit, slightly different nose it seems, and with some great mini-figures that haven't been available before. A Kit Fisto minifig but in a new design (meaning the old Kit Fisto minifigure will be a rare collectible), Captain Jag (from Ep III, I think), a Clone Pilot with new helmet design, and an R4-P44 astromech droid minifigures.

The 8088 ARC-170 Star Fighter looks to have flick firing missiles, wings that unfold into attack position and three cockpits that open. The Star Wars lego kit is a big 434 pieces and due out after Christmas, around January 2010.

7661 Jedi Starfighter | Star Wars Lego Collectables

The Lego 7661 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring kit, I am guessing, is based on the Episode III Jedi Starfighter that Obi-Wan used. The set has 575 pieces - most of them is for the Hyperdrive Booster Ring that is a very long and very repetitive build. When built, the ring is very solid, I thought it would be a problem of falling apart all the time but it's all good.

The Starfighter is much the same as Anakins, except in blue (Anakins is yellow). It a great looking ship, I love the way the wings fold out. The ship clips onto the Hyperdrive Booster Ring really well, and stays put but you can take it off easy.
The set has two mini-figures, Obi Wan Kenobi and, for the first time, Kit Fisto. The Kit Fisto minifigure is rare so makes a good Lego collectable.

My son got this last Christmas and really likes this set but making it was pretty boring. This is great Star Wars Lego collectables set that provides some good playability and a really rare Kit Fisto minifigure.
