    Theme: Star Wars
    Name: Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter
    S/N: #7868
    Year: 2011
    Pieces: 313
    Minifig: 5
    Price: RM189.90

    Box
    This is some sort of special edition set that comes with two new minifigs and the front box art have all their name. The top shows the actual minifig scale while the back shows the playability and picture of other Star Wars set.



    Content
    Inside the box are three numbered bag of bricks, a separate pack which contains droid's hands and blasters, a sticker sheet and a instruction booklet.



    Accessories
    We get a lightsaber for Mace Windu and two blasters for the use of the battle droid.

    Minifigs
    We get five minifigs which I think only three of them are attractive, the Tactical Droid, R8-B7, and Mace Windu. The battle droid comes with a extra hand for them to carry blaster.

    Jedi Starfighter
    We got a total of four Jedi Starfighter now and this have the same old playability, which is flick-fire missiles and landing gear. The details added to the starfighter are from sticker except that emblem of the republic.



    So there is a total of four missiles under the starfighter and to fire it you just have to push the button behind the starfighter. There are two clippers at the back of the ship to hold lightsaber beam and lightsaber hilt.

    The front part have a compartment for the astromech droid and this one is attached to the ship and will not fall off easily.

    The cockpit have a printed monitor and the cockpit is just right to fit him in.

    Separatist Speeder
    This speeder somehow do resemble a bit of Count Dooku speeder that you get from his Solar Sailer. Again you need stickers to add a little touch up to make this speeder looks nice.



    STAP
    The design is same like the one from AT-TE but I'm not really sure whether the two wings are the same color with the one in AT-TE. quite lazy to check mine.

    Putting everything aside for awhile, below are two pictures that I take for fun since I already took them out for review.

    Extra pieces
    Here are the extra pieces that leftover after the building process.

    Completed model
    The might not be as accurate as others MOC, but if you were to collect all the Jedi Starfighter, then you need to grab this one.

    Playability: 4/10 Firing missiles only.
    Building experience: 4/10 I do get a bit sleepy when building this set.
    Parts: 4/10 Nice purple cone, the rest are just common part.
    Value for money: 5/10 The price here is getting better, so I would say quite reasonable.
    Overall: 4/10 I actually get the set for the minifigs.

    The price is not bad compare to Plo Koon Starfigther. Ahsoka Starfighter got her price drop to RM200 before this, so consider quite good as well.
