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. 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. 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. To begin with, it is one of the two sets that include the Jedi Interceptor Obi-Wan pilots in the opening battle of Episode III. Besides that, it is one of the few sets that have included Buzz Droids as minifigures. You actually get two of those here. 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.

To be fair, I believe this has to be the most attractive Jedi Starfighter to date. The dark green color fits these ships unbelievably well. Besides that, the minifigures you get here are just fantastic. I think the figures of Saesee Tiin and Even Piell deserve their own separate review, so I will not go in depth here. All I can say is that no one will be left disappointed.All the light blue parts have been changed to old light grey (since light blue was apparently your placeholder color for old light grey). We only get one accessory in this set- Plo Koon's lightsaber. Generic as it is, I love getting another lightsaber hilt in metallic silver. The ship itself is just another version of the Jedi Starfighter from the Clone Wars. It is pretty much the same as the ones we got in the Anakin, and Plo Koon sets above. The only difference being the coloration, I would still very much get this set for the simplest reason of being a collector.

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. The Obi-Wan minifigure itself was great. Ironically enough, the character who hates flying gets a printed headset. Not everyone will realize this but the torso robes do not actually match the leg robes we see printed on the minifigure. It doesn’t look bad at all but if you are a perfectionist, I am sorry.To sum up, I believe every Clone Wars addict or collector should have this set. I can see myself spending the little fortune someday but for now, I will satisfy myself with the remake version from 2018.

If the minifigures were not enough, the overall design of this Jedi Starfighter was brand new in 2012 compared to the older ones I already went through. In addition, this one felt a lot more sturdy in comparison.

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.

Very similar to previous Jedi Interceptors, this model doesn’t really add much and was a bit of a surprise when LEGO announced its release. However, the minimal updates are an improvement for sure. Once again the set includes Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 minifigures and is based on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. 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. All cool yellow parts have been changed to tan (this was an easy-to-make error, so nothing to be ashamed of). The design has always seemed fairly accurate if you take out the size of the R4 dome you get. The set does not include any minifigures but you get a ton of large plates and dark red/lime green pieces that are extremely rare. The 'ejection seat' is a pretty cool 'play feature', although it doesn't always work perfectly. Plus, the set is a spaceship, so I'm sure that any kid would be happy to 'swoosh' it around.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.
