Editorial Review

Star Wars junkies can build this model of the stealth Droid Tri-Fighter, as piloted by the Separatist Army in the opening space battle against the Republic in the epic’s Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Comprised of three main fuselage pieces, the ship is easy to construct and takes just minutes to put together. Just as with the movie version of this Tri-Fighter, the replica is armed with three missile-firing blasters and two drop bombs. The vehicle’s center sphere rotates and also opens to release a bunch of those pesky buzz droids to land on Republic cruisers and pick them apart. This Droid Tri-Fighter can be used with Anakin Skywalker’s and Obi Wan’s Jedi Starfighters (both sold separately) to re-enact the war against the Republic or can be snapped up as a trophy piece for a serious collector’s stash of memorabilia. --Cristina Vaamonde

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for Space Battles, May 23, 2005

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle Tri-Droid Fighter (Toy)

This vehicle is pretty cool - it has firing missles and "buzz droids" that can come out of a compartment in the center sphere. For space battles, this is good stuff.

That said, figures don't go in this one. I suppose you could shove a guy into that center sphere, but there's no actual "seat" for a guy. (In all fairness, people didn't ride in them in the movie, either.)

The "buzz droids" that come out of the center compartment are kind of small and pretty easy to lose. There are two "open" droids that can attach to the Obi-Wan or Anakin Jedi Starfighter and there are three "closed" ones that are basically small plastic marbles. They roll about as well as marbles, too, so if you cut 'em loose they roll pretty easily under the couch, under the refrigerator... pretty much anywhere that you'll either never find them again or generally be unable to reach.

That said, it's still a lot of fun. Just don't lose your buzz droids and you'll have a great time. I'm glad I picked it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars It fires missiles, launches buzz droids, and sounds cool!, June 1, 2005

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle Tri-Droid Fighter (Toy)

The Star Wars -- Revenge of the Sith "Droid Tri-fighter" is a wonderful "sprint-though-the-backyard" spaceship -- it's highly detailed and has many cool features like shooting missiles and buzz droids that swirl around inside a spherical compartment. I was also quite impressed with the decals, which give the ship a very proto-Imperial look.

There are two types of buzz droids (opened & closed) that make really cool sounds when twirled inside the sphere -- imagine a mini-lotto ball effect -- try this in midflight and note your reaction. Ideally, it would've been nice if the ship made electronic noises similar to the sounds it made in Revenge of the Sith.

Is there an electronic version over the horizon?

**WARNING** This spaceship can poke a young child's eye out. The Droid Tri-fighter has a pointy tapering spire made of rubbery plastic that sticks out from the nose of the craft. This piece of rubber could be dangerous if poked or rammed near a child's eye socket or ear. Overall the toy is as safe as many space toys, but not as dangerous as those Battlestar Galactica ships (that fired little red missiles) from the late 1970's. Just keep an eye on that 7 year-old playing around your newborn (or cat) with this thing.

3.0 out of 5 stars great buy but mine had a problem :[, September 6, 2005

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle Tri-Droid Fighter (Toy)

This toy is very durable and fun to play with.The only problem i had was my ship didnt come with missles. Me and my brother searched in the box, in the bag and on the floor but they were no were to be found.They did not pack them in the box, but other then that this is a great buy i love the little buzz droids that come with it. I also like the little ball thing in the middle of the ship where you store the buzz droids to make sure u dont lose them. I went to toys r us the first day the revenge of the sith line of toys was out (im kinda a star wars geek i got there at like 9:30 in the morning and waited we were first people there) and there was only one of these babys! so buy them before they all dissapear! u should get the arc 170 fighter with this ship
