    It's been awhile since I done my last review.  Smiley Now I bring you. . .

    Details:
    Price: RM249.90
    Pieces: 251 (around RM1/piece)
    Minifigs: 1
    Year released: 2009

    Box art:
    Front view:


    Side view:


    Back view:


    Content:
    Big box, few content.  Angry But there is a lot of base plate given.


    Here's a specially pack cape. Different packing now.


    Instruction book:
    A small one, but a little thick.


    Decal:
    Not much part need to be stickered.  Tongue


    Weapon:
    Here's the lightsaber with metallic hilt. The hilt looks a little low in quality.


    Minifigs:
    The only one minifig that is included, Darth Vader with new torso.


    New face too!




    TIE Fighter:
    Here's the fighter, with different angle shot.
    Random:


    Front:


    Top:
    And here's a printed round plate on top.


    Side:


    Rear:


    There's a clipper underneath the fighter for you to keep the lightsaber. So try not attach a bomb secretly under it, the security system might poke a hole in you.  Tongue Anyway, I didn't attach it below.


    Cockpit:
    We can open the cockpit and a nice windscreen too.  Tongue




    As usual, all TIE lack of interior.


    Flick-fire missile:
    I guess is somehow hidden.


    And here's the button for you to push to fire.



    I guess that's all for it.

    Extra parts:


    Completion:

    I like the new colour scheme, also this set is connected wit technic pins, very easy to dismantle and keep back in box. Not much of a playability, but the design looks good.

    Functions:
    -opening cockpit
    -push-fire missile

    Pros:
    -nice design
    -extra part

    Cons:
    -decals
    -lack of minifig

    Final verdict:
    Playability: 6/10 Not much to be play with though.
    Design : 9/10 The design is nice plus the new colour scheme.
    Price : 5/10 Rate the price ratio yourself.  Tongue
    Overall: 8/10 A nice set for collection.

    I guess the face is new, but the torso is definitely new.  Tongue
