Editorial Review

Lego has done it again; giving us another awesome addition to their Star Wars collection, this time with this two-piece Revenge of the Sith set. You construct both the Jedi Starfighter that Anakin Skywalker (figure included) pilots in combat, as well as the Vulture Droid of the Separatist arsenal. Both of these models stand alone as finely detailed Lego units equipped with some of the best decals you’ll find. The instructions take you step by step through the simple assembly of both vehicles so there is no difficulty in achieving results. Have fun outfitting the models following the step-by-step directions or go off on your own to create unique Star Wars ships. This is a Lego product so you’ll want to be aware of the numerous small pieces that aren’t suited for young children (recommended 7+ years of age). There’s fun to be had with this toy for Star Wars collectors or Lego fans alike! --Chip Quinn

4.0 out of 5 stars "It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces", June 9, 2005

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid (Toy)

Everybody wants to point out how "fragile" this set is. And, while I'm not going to deny the fact that a wing or two may come flying off at you once in a while, I will say that that shouldn't take away from the appeal of this set. If you are going to zoom a Lego around a room, yeah... you're going to have a piece break off now and again. So what? Pick it up and put it back on. Anyway, in my opinion, Anakin's Starfighter is one of the sleekest vehicles in the Episode III line. It was also the first Sith set to be available, coming out almost a month before the remaining nine (for whatever that's worth). It has some unique pieces (the windshield, the yellow wings) and some crafty uses of other ones (the fire-hose nozzles as side guns).

The Vulture Droid that chases Anakin through the stars is a definite step-up from the original, butt-ugly-brown Droid Fighter set of past years, while the Starfighter is as fresh a ship as the Tri-Fighter or even the ARC-170 Fighter--also featured in the Sith line. During the assembling process, there are a number of tedious steps that can get you frustrated (including applying many stickers to both ships); but the outcome is worth it. Again, I have had little problem with feebleness on either the Vulture Droid or Starfighter and if you know how to handle your Lego's, you shouldn't either. Anakin's ship has three extendable legs that hold it up, while the droid sits nicely on his own (rotating) wings. Putting this set together took about 35 minutes, which is pretty average for a piece count of just over 200. As I said, it was at times tedious, but nonetheless an easy and fun put-together.

I see no reason why anyone would be disappointed with this set. If you're going to zoom it amongst the stars, there is a perfectly accessible 4x6 plate (under Anakin) where you can grab a hold. And with two ships there is enough substance for two people, while the ships are small enough to be carried by one person should you opt not to share. In the end, set #7256 is more durable than most make it out to be. It is a great set for displaying and is reasonably priced considering it features two vehicles and that, overall, it looks so neat. You can decide from there, but I'd recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great StarWars lego, March 17, 2005

This lego is AWESOME it comes with Anakin and a vultre droid (droid Starfighter). I loved the coloring of both the Jedi Fighter and the Vulter Droid. This is a great set hands down. The vulter droid can transform into a walker droid with a twist and turn. Also The Jedi Fighter's wing's wing's can pivot.

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid (Toy)

Legos has taken a lesson from models and added decals to their kits. One negative point regarding the decals; the instructions telling where to put the decals are weak. Beyond that small point, this is yet another excellent set in the Star Wars Legos series.

The Vulture Droid part of this set is just okay. The Vulture Droid either looks like a small space ship, or you can rearrange it to make a droid that stands up. The side pieces swivel when in the ship configuration, and the legs swivel in the droid configuration. As I said, there is nothing special with this portion of the set.

The Revenge of the Sith Jedi Starfighter is very cool. The wingtips fold for landing and you can position them in various aspects for flight. The wings also have a limited range of motion. The landing gear also moves into a stowed position for flight, which is really a nice feature because it makes the starfighter appear very streamlined. The cockpit opens so that Annakin Skywalker can get in and out of the starfighter. Annakin also has a light saber that comes with this kit. The light saber can be a pain to get into the cockpit, so I stuck it on a little piece that is part of the wing.

Other reviewers seem to dwell on the fragility of this set. The Vulture Droid is not fragile at all. The starfighter is a little fragile. There are a couple of pieces that seem to want to come off a bit too easily. However, with a little care the pieces will stay on nicely. A little bit of fragility is the price you pay for having a lot of features and details.

The Sith Jedi Starfighter is a nice addition to a collection of Star Wars Legos. I think of the Vulture Droid as a bonus. You need this cost effective set for your collection. Enjoy!
