Great review. Congrats on a great start to 2025. Did you notice the single red dot on the right side of the clones chest are in different positions for at least one of them, maybe all three? I wonder if that was a printing error or a way to make each of them more unique than just a different helmet.
I really need to comment at 8:48 - the stickers 8 and 9 in fact do not look fine- if you compare them to any reference material, their placement should have been switched!
Why no second face on pilots? No back printing on droid, for the price lego should be doing more to the minifigure. Better arm and leg prints cloths for example
It is a bit funny that the box and minifigures are the only good things about this set. But, jokes aside, I managed to avoid getting hyped about certain Star Wars vehicles since I know there is a risk they will be hit with the "downsized" treatment. Also, asking 70$ for it, yeah, thank you, I'd rather go for a walk in the park and get some fresh air.
Nice video and I agree this is a rather bad set compared to the original ARC-170. The box art is both good yet fowl knowing what’s happening their. Really hope Plo Koon Starfighter gets a release as well to go along with this.
Great video! Its a shame this set is downscaled so poorly. When they downscaled the Tie and X-wing a few years ago i thought it was great! They price matched it too. The x-wings were around $80 for a decade and the ties were around $70. Most people would break the bank getting both as christmas gifts for their kids. The new $30-$45 price range for both was perfect. The price per piece was great and the eyeball test was spot on. If you wanted 4 ships before you'd pay close to $300 and with those downscaled prices you paid around $150. I was hoping this set would follow that trend. But $70 for this was quite a stretch. No way it should have been more than $50. Price per piece isnt everything. But with 497 pieces and the smaller size, $50 would have been a much, MUCH better price point. It would have been a shame we got a worse set. But the better price would have just been alot more appetizing. Merry Christmas and happy New Years! The lord be with you and again, another great video!
Really disappointing but not a surprise unfortunately. This is just like with the coruscant gunship, or maybe even worse bc of the proportions. It's nice that you give your full honest opinions and mention the false advertisment with the cockpit stickers
Thank you for the great review. And I agree, this is bad set and a hard pass, too bad for the figures, but I won't even give $50 for 3 figures.. It's a real shame how little effort they put into this legendary set..
I'm done. I'll never buy a New set of Lego again. I'll wait until you people with money by them, then get bored, and then I'll buy them for half price still sealed. Lego is pricing themselves right out of over half of the prophets they could be making.
You care WAY too much about the box art. Does it REALLY matter if the minifigure on the box reflects that of ROTS “branding” or not? After all there’s no direct confirmation that this is supposed to be a ROTS set. I just think the over focus on the box art, instruction manual art is so trivial because ultimately it doesn’t matter

the windscreen stickers are really unforgivable, on the 2010 model the white opacity was perfect
Please do a room tour ❤
My favorite Lego content creator! Hope you had a great New Years!
It seems like these days with Lego you can either get perfect figs or a perfect build, not both. At least with clone/prequel sets
I’m actually surprised Lego managed to make a starfighter as beefy as the ARC-170 at the $70 price point in 2025.
Damn, great review. Subscribed!
Same
I’ve heard the printed engines from the arc 170 micro fighter can be used on the engines here
Great review. Congrats on a great start to 2025. Did you notice the single red dot on the right side of the clones chest are in different positions for at least one of them, maybe all three?

Must've been a printing error, all of mine have exactly the same torso print I checked myself
@ I noticed it in this video, and two other reviews. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow so I’ll check that too.
7:26 That piece is actually from Lego City

surely shorter wings are better than longer ones if you have the smaller engines?
Great thumbnail
It’s interesting that here in Europe we have paper bags

This build is so downsized it should be called arc 17.0 instead
Cool set

Really hope Plo Koon Starfighter gets a release as well to go along with this.
not sure how true it is but according to multiple reputable leakers, we’re getting a plo koon star-fighter micro fighter which is kinda disappointing
@ ohh definitely disappointing but maybe we’ll get an actual set one day. The old Jedi Starfighters should be brought back.
I got the paper bags in Australia

Hello there Obi, could you please tell what lightning are you using for your billy shelves?
I just have gotten some cheap ones off of Amazon, Lepro is the brand. They work decently well but I'll probably upgrade them at some point
Thank you for the great review. And I agree, this is bad set and a hard pass, too bad for the figures, but I won't even give $50 for 3 figures.. It's a real shame how little effort they put into this legendary set..
Are the wings sagging?

I agree. LEGO is getting Lazy...

yes that's false market advertising
