The LEGO 8088 Arc-170 is a remodeled and updated version of the original starfighter from set 7259 (now discontinued). This current model has a much longer wingspan and is overall bigger, with smaller pieces resulting in a more intricate design and tighter fit. The color palette is also very nice, however, the set does come with stickers, which I have chosen not to apply. Bear in mind that the three cockpit windows are technically blank, and the white window separation is achieved through stickers.
In the core of the Arc-170 is an exceptionally clever LEGO brick engine, composed of 2 interior gears; turning it lowers/raises the wings, reminiscent of the X-Wing. I personally feel the price tag for this set is a bit on the high side in terms of bricks:price ratio, but the well engineered engine mechanic is no doubt the cause of this.
When purchasing this set, one is essentially paying a premium... Read more

We bought this for my 7-year old son, who loves both Legos and Star Wars. It's pretty darn cool, but I'd recommend, if you're giving it to someone younger than the box recommends, to have an adult handy. My son started this on his own and did pretty well. I noticed, however, that he'd made a couple of mistakes along the way. When he wasn't looking, I fixed them and realized he'd skipped a couple small steps. Skipping steps in such a complicated set means the whole thing will be off. Once I fixed it, we finished the rest together. It was Legotastic. We're leaving this one assembled for a while, up on a shelf. Not super durable, but oh, so cool. He also received for x-mas the Slave I (Boba Fett's ship), which is even cooler.
