Box

It seems like this is no limited edition set over here and the front shows the Infiltrator itself and a picture of Darth Maul on his speeder on the bottom left. The top side of the box shows the actual minifig scale like usual while the back of the box shows the playability of the set and advertisement for other Star Wars sets that was released that year.

Content

Inside the box are five bags of bricks, a piece of slope parts and an instruction book. No stickers as the part are printed which is great.

Accessories

I am surprise and disappointed to find out that this set comes with a lightsaber chrome hilt but it does not include the translucent red piece for the lightsaber. Other than that there are three probe droid and a binocular.

Minifig

Since Darth Maul have cease production for quite sometimes now, I guess new collector are very willing to buy this set just to get him, which is the one and only minifg in this set. It do comes with a cape, just that I didn't attach it and the torso were printed at the front only.

Speeder

The way of building the speeder is indeed unique and there is no place that Darth Maul can be attached on it unless he hold the handle. Guess they have to build it that way to fit it into the cockpit.

Sith Infiltrator

The wing can be open but it is just too big. As a result, I only snap the picture of Sith Infiltrator in landing mode which looks good too.

There is this compartment in front of the infiltrator where you can keep the accessories and it is neatly made. The cons here is that you have to remove the whole front part of the infiltrator to see the compartment. I prefer it is still attach when we open it up.

Under the infiltrator there are two retractable landing gear to support the front when landing. The width between the two landing gear can be adjust a little too.

On both the wing, there goes the designer favorite function which is the flick-fire missile. At that point of time there is no new mold for the flick-fire missile hend both of them tend to fall off whenever you swoosh around with the infiltrator (I didn't play with it but just tested it).

The cockpit of the infiltrator is located at the back of the ship, and there is a printed piece in it. Also this is where you park your speeder. The pros over here is that you need not remove anything but just open it up to reveal the cockpit.

Extra pieces

It seems like there will have extra pieces leftover when the ship contains small parts and picture below shows the extra pieces from this set.

Completed model

I found out I'm quite bored during the assembling process and the lightsaber issue is really bothers me. The ship do looks good though maybe because of the printed parts.

Playability: 8/10 I like some of the functions here
Design: 6/10 The Sith Infiltrator is design is good although not that accurate
Price: 5/10 The price here is quite good although it is expensive
Overall: 6/10 Nice minifigs, nice infiltrator, lightsaber is bothering me
