OVER PRICED - Beware!!!!
By Nan
Regular price is $39.99 Shame on venders! Shop elsewhere. There are great figures and ship in this set. My son was using his own money and wanted to find a fair price, look elsewhere.

Where is Padmé? Is She Safe? Is She Alright...?
By A Customer
Brick for brick, Anakin's Jedi Interceptor is not only the most enjoyable LEGO STAR WARS set that I've built, but the one that offers the best value for money. Rather than just present an iconic movie vehicle along with a couple of minifigures, here LEGO offer us the flavor of a whole scene.

Whilst it's without retractable landing gears (which I find annoying anyway, prone as they are to collapse), Anakin's TIE fighter-like ship is a great little model. Unlike its earlier incarnations, this model has room for the R2-D2 minifigure, boasting an astromech-friendly left wing. Its darker hue is also more pleasing to the eye than the mustard of its sister ship seen in the movie's opening battle, not to mention more befitting the epic duel about to ignite amidst Mustafar's volcanic flames.

This brings me to the set's combatants: brand-new versions of the pre-suit Darth Vader and his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Both are far more redolent of their silver screen alter egos than any earlier iterations, their respective hairpieces far more appropriate and their rotatable, double-faced heads vesting the scene that they inhabit with real emotion. They are accompanied in the set by the lava droid that Vader stands upon at the apex of the duel, and an evocative rendition of Separatist leader Nute Gunray, who, happily, is easily decapitated or cut in half (you chose). Noticeably, and indeed disappointingly, absent though is Padmé. It seems that LEGO engineering can stretch to x-wings and star destroyers, but not to pregnant tums.

Grandson loved it!
By L. J. Conner
This was my grandsons most wished for Christmas present from Grandma. He was thrilled to get it. He loves all things Legos, and is really into Star Wars now. He's only 9, so this was a good father/son project.
