I've been collecting all the variants of the Jedi Starfighter from Revenge of the Sith, so I was very excited to finally see one in blue. I ordered it right away as the blue fighter was my favorite in the movie. When I got it, though, there were several things about it that disappointed me. First, the sticker sheet is obviously the exact same one from one of the Anakin starfighters as the stickers for the R2 unit are blue and white, not bronze like Obi-Wan's second astromech in the movie. The head, however, is molded in the proper color so with the stickers applied you have a mismatched droid with a bronze head and a blue and white body. Also, the included Obi-Wan figure seems to be the same one sold separately in the first wave of ROTS figures. He has the same slashing movement when you squeeze his legs and the same replaceable lightsaber hand. That would be fine, but my figure's right arm flops around limply, the pilot headset accessory doesn't even remotely fit on his head, and he doesn't fit well in the cockpit. Also, some of the blue paint around the cockpit is oversprayed onto the off-white behind it.

I'm glad to have this starfighter for the sake of completeness, but if you just want a toy version of the coolest starfighter yet, do yourself a favor and get either the yellow Anakin or red Obi-Wan fighter at a local store for five dollars less with no shipping.

This toy is an excellent toy but the shipping was poor. The box arrived in such bad shape that the carded figure I ordered along with this was nearly destroyed. I also want to mention that the toy I received had been opened. Instead of going through the hassle of returning it only to get the replacements in as bad if not worse condition I just went to the store and bought new ones. The toy is great, it's the way they ship this thing that's awful.

This is a well-designed toy sporting neat action features that don't detract from it's appearance. I wish that the Obi-Wan figure included was a little easier to postition into the cockpit but that's a small gripe. The little kid who reviewed this item below me complaining about Obi's astromech doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.

Okay, the idiots at Hasbro better spend some time on Wookiepedia. This is AAYLA SECURA'S starfighter, which she lent to Obi-Wan because HIS got destroyed aboard the Invisible Hand. The astromech serving this Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor is R4-G9, not R2-D2 and they give you the wrong decals. The people at Hasbro need to get better, and they need to release more EU figures. In September, they will begin selling the first real EU figures since Kenner's POTF. That's about the only good thing they're doing now - the quality of their recent figures SUCKS.

Everything about this toy is great, if you leave it in the package and do not discover that the decal sheet is from Anakin's YELLOW Sneak Preview Starfighter! I have contacted HasBLO about this, only to get a form letter stating that "what I ordered is currently unavailable". I am NOT going to put incorrect decals on this toy, so HasBLO better get it right! They are now obviously aware of the error, so the ball is in their court. Until this toy gets the correct decals, it will NOT be displayed in my collection. I am NOT going to put yellow decals on the ship, nor am I going to have an R4-G9/R2-D2 hybrid because of their mistake! A company like them should know better, and have better quality control. They replaced the missing Boba Fett rockets for the OTC Target Slave I, so I hope they come through on this. Ridiculous!

I enjoyed the Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter toys r us exclusive. I was not happy with the shape the packaging was in when delivered. I wasn't planning on opening the package because I'm a collector. The plastic was bent pretty bad.

Sorry! fellas, I agree with J.cochran If hasbro is going to create an exclusive toy variant it should be accurate down to last detail. This toy maker makes millions of dollars a year and then scimps on the decals for this exclusive starfighter. And then there is the droid, wrong color, and wrong decal, WRONG DROID![...] for that matter. And no the head gear dosen't fit correctly or maybe I missed that part in the movie, you know,where the mouth piece sticks up Obi-Wans nose, and then fell off his head. If you are a collector these things do matter because details are everything if it isn't accurate then it's not exclusive, just a poor attempt. Hasbro get it right![...]

Its a wonderful addition to anyones collection. All three Jedi Starfighters are a must for any Star Wars enthusiast.

My son enjoys this ship. He is able to recreate scenes from Star Wars.

I Like the Starfighters a lot, although i do not open my items for display purposes, i am just a collector so i can not comment on the functionality of the item, from what i know of Hasbro's toy line for Star Wars i know it's a solid item. My only complaint would be that the factory inserted the incorrect label sheet for the fighter and i had to contact Hasbro to get the correct one. Other than that it's great.
