LEGO Jedi Starfighter Hyperdrive Booster Ring - shoppingFirst

This is a great Lego set. The blue and white color combo works nicely on this set. Also, the Jedi Starfighter is very interactive. The cockpit opens, the wings move, the flaps on the wings move, and the landing gears can come down so you can set it on almost any surface. The starfighter also interacts with the Hyperdrive Booster Ring. There are two pieces on the ship that slide into the ring and keeps it balanced in the middle. The booster ring itself is very detailed. In fact, it took hours to build, since every joint is held together by multiple parts. The ring ends up being very sturdy, and you can put in on a flat surface so it can stand on its own. It is sturdy enough to hold the starfighter as well when sitting on a flat surface. Overall, this is a great model, that was fun to build, and is one of the more interactive sets.

However, the Lego figures are not great. First, Obi-wan does not come with a lightsaber, which seems strange, since he has one in every other set. Secondly, the set comes with Kit Fisto. On the box, the figure looks great, with his grin and shinny green head. However, the actual figure is made of rubber, so it is not shinny at all. And his face does not look right when compared to the character on the box, and of course, in the movie. He does however, come with a green lightsaber.

Overall, this is a Lego set worth buying and building, even if the figures are not the best Lego has ever offered.
