“Designed more as a model and not a fully functional swooshable figure, Grievous is a tad flimsy. You won't want him to veer too far off his massive and sturdy base. It would have been nice to have is cape with him (like the Technic Vader set).”

“UCS General Greivous is amazing. Over 1,000 pieces, highly detailed, epic-looking, and not overpriced makes this set awesome. The building experience is very fun and clever. You build the stand first, which is very fun but a little time consuming. Then you build a plate the... More connects to the stand and spins once connected. Right from there you build the feet on the plate, making it so you can't take General Greivous off his stand.”

About Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series

The Ultimate Collector Series, or UCS, holds the large display versions of Star Wars ships, vehicles and places. It began in 2000 with 7181 TIE Interceptor and 7191 X-wing Fighter. The designer of that first X-wing gave it a black stand and a printed information plaque to show it was a model to display rather than a toy, and the stand and plaque have been part of the series ever since.

Ultimate Collector Series was introduced in 2000 and currently consists of 45 sets. As of today, 10018 Darth Maul is the most valuable Ultimate Collector Series set with an estimated new/sealed value of $5,832.
