This ship looks better than ever and is smartly built. The changes from previous versions aren’t monumental but are well executed and are a fine example of how a model can improve with each release. This playset has a cohesive cast of characters to recreate some of fan’s favorite prequel-era scenes and the neutral colored parts have potential to fit into many builds, even if it’s just as a rocky cliffside. Price notwithstanding, 75286 General Grievous’s Starfighter is the best iteration of the Soulless One to date. ![]() Nit-picky imperfections aside, the figure has gravitas and I give it a warm “hello there” into my collection. Without my own tan Grievous to compare in-person, I’m assuming tan is more consistent from head-to-talonlike-toe. Neither LEGO colour perfectly represents Grievous’s ivory-tinted armour, but this figure’s white surfaces are noticeably brighter on the dual-moulded legs than the printed torso and arms. Brick Yellow/ Tan armour covered these same moulds in The Clone Wars sets from 20. Unlike the first two figures Grievous isn’t new his complex minifig in white armour was introduced in 2014 with 75040 General Grievous’ Wheel Bike. At this point, anyone would need a change of clothes for one reason or another! The pockmarks on his robe aren’t exclusively from the lava planet Mustafar - by the time Kenobi commandeers Grievous’s Starfighter, he’s been betrayed by his clones after chasing down a cyborg while riding a dinosaur. One bold battle-damaged Obi-Wan Kenobi makes his second appearance since 75269 Duel on Mustafar introduced this figure earlier in 2020. 2010 introduced the second Soulless One, a doubly-larger set which kept the ship’s key design features intact, while Grievous’s minifigure was remade entirely with new moulds and printed details. The grimly-named starship Soulless One was introduced in 2005’s prequel trilogy finale Revenge of the Sith - two years later Grievous and his ship were available for the first time in official LEGO form. ![]() A collection of large grey slopes and plates might be useful to some of you, but the price could be a hard stop even for fans of arch-clanker Grievous. We can skip the math - that’s a pretty steep price per piece, especially considering there are few unusual elements in this set and earlier versions were more affordable. The set features a cast of three Episode III minifigures and 487 pieces for a price of US$79.99 / £74.99 / 79.99€. The build is strongly reminiscent of earlier sets and introduces a few newly recoloured slope elements. Deathwatch gunships would also be a pretty swanky addition to S&V, in this one's opinion.This dark and intimidating ship made its third minifigure-scale appearance in August 2020: LEGO® Star Wars 75286 General Grievous’s Starfighter. What would you like to see (if you'd like to see them at all), if you could create the ships and field them on the board? As above, I'd love to see General Grievous in the Soulless One (lots of running away, anyone?) and Cad Bane in the Xanadu Blood, among many others. There is so much material available in the Clone Wars series that you could make a very competent pool of ships to choose from.ĪRC-170s and older Republic Era Y-Wings and Headhunters? Vulture Droids with Buzz Droid Missiles? General Grievous in his Belbullab-22 with MagnaGuard Rogue-Class fighters? A plethora of Jedi Pilots - Plo Koon? Yes please. This is a question that's probably been asked a lot and thus driven into the dirt, but it's one that I can't help but ask.Īm I the only one who'd like to see Clone Wars era ships on the table, either as a spin-off game or an expansion to X-Wing? Being able to fly a load of older ships would actually be a dream come true, and with the state of things during the Clone Wars it also opens up the opportunity to play larger games to field bigger or multiple squads. ![]()
