    heme: Star Wars
    Name: Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter
    S/N: #8093
    Year: 2010
    Pieces: 175
    Minifig: 2
    Price: RM194.90

    Box
    The front of the box shows the fighter and the minifigs while the size show us the actual scale of the minifigs that comes with the set. As for the back, the functions of the fighter are shown together with picture of other set.


    Content
    We get a instruction booklet, a sticker sheet and four packs of bricks. Below are the pictures:


    Accessory
    We get a lightsaber with metallic hilt compare to the other two set, which is grey in colour.

    Minifigs
    Most of us already have Plo Koon from Republic Gunship, and the only minifig we want from this set is R7-D4, the brown Astromech Droid.

    Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter
    Is a little disappointed that the slope piece are not printed but instead sticker. However, the republic emblem are printed.

    You can see one black button right below the cockpit for you to push so you can kill Plo Koon. ^^

    I suppose this are blaster cannon that are placed on both side at the front and there's the printed republic emblem.

    Like the other Jedi Starfighter, this one have landing gear too.

    Finally, there are stud for you to attach your astromech droid.

    The cockpit are a little different from the other two which is there is no printed monitor, all are sticker added details and Plo Koon are not attached but instead sit on a technic pin which you can push to eject him out of the cockpit.


    At the side of the cockpit is a holder for his lightsaber, wonder why on earth Plo Koon place his lightsaber outside the fighter.

    Extra pieces
    We left only two pieces of bricks after assembling the starfighter.

    Completed model
    All three starfighter are differently design by TLG and all three have different functions. Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter actually not bad, just that there are too many sticker added details.

    Playability: 8/10 New eject function.
    Design : 8/10 Too many sticker added details.
    Price : 4/10 Is expensive here.
    Overall: 7/10 New function, new fig but different design from the previous two JSF.

    Highspeed plasctic injection process usually have flaw such as this "trapped air" bubble in the material.
    Usually this is obvious when transparent material is used.
