LEGO75281 Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Interceptor Buildable Toy Starship with Anakin Skywalker Minifigure, R2-D2 Figure and lightsaber, Gift Idea for Boys & Girls

I have this set hanging up as to imitate the scene from the start of Episode III, and it undoubtably looks great, and the set features two iconic characters, and one of the best looking ships in the entire franchise (in my opinion). The ship features a lot of play elements, like designed laser cannons, spring shooters and wings posable at multiple joints, aswell as a functional cockpit.it's important to note that if not displayed similarly, it may not sit well as a display piece for everyone. the fighter has no stabiliser or anything similar to stand on when placed down, and if one isn't made, doing so makes the wing elements fold in on themselves, having to be reset for each play or pickup.The Anakin minifigure unfortunately has the headset printed on both faces, meaning that when removed from the pod to use his lightsaber, he doesn't ever look quite right.Unfortunately, there is not a currently available version of this set, nor a paired obi-wan's interceptor to complete the scene, similar to the kenobi's starfighter not having a Jango's slave 1 to match (as of writing this review), and the lack of a Buzz droid really does remove a lot of immersion the scene could have.

As a big fan of the Clone Wars my son has been asking for an Anakin figure to add to his expanding Lego Star Wars collection. Luckily Lego not only produces sets related to new movie or TV series material and some sets each year that refer to the prequel and Clone Wars material. Also as the set its a little older now I could get it for a good price.The built of the 248-piece set was not very demanding. My son could do it without any help from my side. The instructions are quite clear as always. The only tricky part is the fair amount of stickers that have to be put on the inside of the wing flaps. But also there are some unnecessary tiny stickers for outside deco, where one wonders why these could be printed (like the Republicing logo that has to be stuck on a single 1x1 round dot.. )The completed intercept is compact but quite pleasing. The cockpit mechanisms works well. And I’m quite amazed that the R2 figure actually fits in. The included missiles are nice, but they always tend to shoot in a direction where you don't want them to go and then you'll have to look fro them..In terms of the two included mini figures, the set is a little disappointing; there is only Anakin that is crucial to my son’s battles and that I we need desperately. But we have plenty fo R2 figures already.Now I’ll have to find the matching red Obi Wan interceptor. Unfortunately there has not been a re-release in the The Force Wakens Line, so these command a reasonably steep price on the secondary market.

Absolutely fantastic model! Just like the one I used to have when I was younger except with a full body of R2-D2! Now to get my hands on an Obi-wan Kenobi version!Simple enough to build. Took me less than an hour and looks great when completed. My only nitpicks would be that the cockpit shell doesn't close very securely and Anakin's hair comes off pretty easily. However the hold underneath for the spare "laser" and lightsaber is a nice touch.

The build was priced decently and had a good build quality. The only complaint that can be made is that LEGO reused the Anakin minifigure torso print from the Mustafar battle set (75269) which included the burn marks from the fight. This is, in my opinion, quite unacceptable since changing the torso print slightly would not have cost LEGO much money to do and would have completely fixed the issue.

8 yr old grandson is a Lego and star wars fanatic and he loved this example .

Ever since I first saw RotS I have been in love with Anakin and Obi-Wan's ships so this one was a no brainer, especially for that cheap price!!Now if only I can get Obi-Wan's as cheap...

Bought as a Christmas present for my godson as he is a Big Star Wars fan and this was a good introduction into the larger Lego sets. He had a great time building this over a couple hours and now takes pride of place in his bedroom.

high quality, easy to build, cheap for a lego set too. My 10 year old nephew loved it, great for big kids too.
