“Retail price is $59.99 and for that you only get 396 parts. That's pretty steep at 15.15 cents per brick. I know that sets across the board have gone up but I still judge sets against the golder rule (10 cents per brick) so despite the cool figures and cool ship I'm simply... More not satisfied with the price point. Maybe if the canopies were printed I wouldn't complain so much. All things considered, this is a great set. There's always room to improve on official designs and I'm sure I will always complain about the price of sets.”

“Overall I LOVE this set. I like most Star Wars Lego sets. It looks like what it's supposed to be, but what I don't like is when they previously released a set and they didn't improve on it by much. It is cleaner and more up to date, but as you read in the comparison of the... More old set, many things was done right the first time. Maybe if I can force myself to dismantle both sets, I'll make one set with the good of both sets.”

“The set features three opening cockpits for the Minifigures and two flick-fire missiles. The wings of the ARC are known as S-foil wings, similar to the wings found on the X-Wing-class ships. The ARC-170 Starfighter is the predecessor to the X-Wing; however, the S-foil wings... More contain a vertical wing in between the opening wing sections. The wing sections can be "opened" by turning the TECHNIC rod on the back of the ship.”
