Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Starfighter
Customer Review: Excellent, with only minor flaws
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up along with a Clone Battle Pack and Droids Battle Pack, both of which I've also written reviews on.
This is a nice addition to the Star Wars Ep III sets, which really weren't all too good. This is definetely one of the good sets.
Let's start with Grievous. The body is the same as the other General Grievous from the Grievous Chase LEGO. Battle droid body and legs, but four arms and obviously a different head. The lightsabers are just plain ol' lightsabers. Nothin special about em. There are two different things aboutthis Greivous though. The first difference is that he doesn't come with his cape, which isn't a problem; it actually got in the way of placing him on the wheel-bike in the origonal set. The second difference is that he comes with a blaster. It's a new blaster, differently shaped and better detailed.
The starfighter itself was a little nicer then what I had first expected. It's very easy to construct and light-weight. It also has an interesting sliding cockpit, which if I'm not mistaken, has never been on another LEGO starship before. Theres a small place under the craft to store his lightsabers, which really helps if you have a hard time keeping track of them (I know I do), but no place to put the blaster (not a problem). The laser are slightly movable. There are two small flaws. One of these is that the lightsaber holder can get in the way of holding and placing the ship forboth play and display. It can be taken on and off easily enough. The second is that the landing gear in the back can ocassionally fall off during rough play. This does not happen every time and it can easily be placed back on.
This is a nice deal for only $[...], especially if you need a General Grievous figure. Even if you already have the wheel-bike you should consider getting this anyway; it's a great deal.
Customer Review: So, and so.

I did not have a choice in this being bought, my kid brother bought it for me because he wanted me to add it to my collection, and we both put it together and were having fun till things started falling apart, and we had to put pieces back together over and over before continuing.
One thing I did not like about lego set was the way you basically just threw the figure in the cockpit, well not threw so much as finagling a way for him to fit in there with his blaster between his legs. And the lightsabers stored at the bottom, just a way to keep the set simple and cheap, which it was. I would recommend this if its going to sit on your shelf as a display, otherwise, don't buy it. But if you are a collector, that's a whole different story.

Customer Review: the good and the bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this toy for my six year old son. He really enjoyed putting it together and following the directions and step by step procedures. He plays with it like he plays with all of his legos, they stay together for about a week before they morph into something else, usually a combination of several different sets. That being said, it didn't stay together very well. The top repeatedly fell off within minutes of him finishing it. While he has enjoyed it, since he took it apart and used the pieces to make a "robot jet boat," he was unable to play with it when he originally put it together without it falling ajpart. This is something he has been aboe to do with most of his other lego sets.Customer Review: Worst of the lego ships....
Summary: 2 Stars
The poor general barely fits in the cockpit. You have to contort his arms/legs and then stuff him in. It takes 5-6 tries each time. The overhead falls off easily and holding the lightsabers underneath was a bad idea. Turning it over and over again leads it to fall apart and my daughter gets frustrated. Plus if you are not looking, you don't realize if a saber went missing during flight and we all know how hard they are to find. We have Anakin's and the Stormtrooper transport and they both are much better then this one. Save your money on this one...Customer Review: cool ship
Summary: 4 Stars
the ship was a huge success with my son who is 4 and he loves the littkle lego Grievous with four lightsabers! It was opretty easy to put together and it holds up well. The only thing that always comes off in the end tail and without it the ship does not stand right. It sometimes frustrates my son when he runs around with the ship and these pieces fall off but he still loves it.
