The LEGO 8088 Arc-170 is a remodeled and updated version of the original starfighter from set 7259 (now discontinued).

As we highly anticipate the new ARC-170 coming out next year, here's a look at the original version from 2005, the year EPIII came out. Mon neveu de 7 ans que j'initie au légo est ravi de ce modèle qu'il arrive à monter lui-même et qui est facile à manipuler pour mettre en scène ces aventures dans l'espace. The Arc-170 Starfighter is perfected for reconnaissance missions and raids against the separatist navy.

My son definitely needed help with the wings as the tri-wing assembly does require some dexterity and attention to detail. Also, that gear is set up to slide back and forth, because hiding on the underside is everyone’s favorite play feature: flick fire missiles.

The there are 3 cockpits whereby the pilots sits infront and the 2 gunners sit in the compartment at the rear.

Turn the gear on the back to open and close the S-foil attack wings, then push it to launch auto-firing flick missiles! This elastic band also keeps the S-foils in open and close position tightly when the fighter is flying and making barrel rolls. Either that or the set designer knew that those completely suck and being aimed directly at a fixed portion of the ship is an irrelevant detail but was required by contract to include them. As of today, 7261 Clone Turbo Tank is the most valuable Episode III set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of ₩1,115,050.The over/under connection is a fun feature but it can sort of get in the way… I’ll get back to that in a minute. However, if you're interested in a more technical set that "moves" with not just wheels and kinetic energy, this is for you. This great mini-scale version of the Republic’s rugged starfighter features an amazing amount of detail, including folding wings, 2 flick missiles and a mini cockpit for the Clone Pilot to sit in! This set comes with a whole range of printed parts, some of which are unique to this set only such as the sloped printed windows, printed computer with tri-fighter, printed wedge, printed technic disc with Arc-170 engine pattern and printed tile 2 x 2 with DkGreen Half-Ellipse Pattern. The Lego Star Wars ARC-170 Starfighter kit has unique minifigures, exceptional detail, neat functionality (opening and closing winglets/S-foils) and was a blast to assemble.

The wings of the ARC are known as S-foil wings, similar to the wings found on the X-Wing-class ships. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. The boxart is the Episode III type of boxart with lava splashing and vader's helmet at the top right corner. The wings themselves suffer from the same droop issues as almost every other plate-wing starfigter, but considering the huge cannons on the tips and the big hole near the middle I expected much worse. Please, do not get me started on the inappropriateness of giving a domed astromech an R4 designation, I didn’t name the thing.I had no idea who that was to be honest, but with a name like Captain Jag I think it’s safe to assume he has the situation under control. The bracketed stripe along the fuselage looks great and the SNOTed slopes round off the nose cleanly, unlike the older model that used sideways plates and failed miserably. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn’t cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag.
