Minifigs
We get five minifigs which I think only three of them are attractive, the Tactical Droid, R8-B7, and Mace Windu. The battle droid comes with a extra hand for them to carry blaster.

Jedi Starfighter
We got a total of four Jedi Starfighter now and this have the same old playability, which is flick-fire missiles and landing gear. The details added to the starfighter are from sticker except that emblem of the republic.

So there is a total of four missiles under the starfighter and to fire it you just have to push the button behind the starfighter. There are two clippers at the back of the ship to hold lightsaber beam and lightsaber hilt.

The front part have a compartment for the astromech droid and this one is attached to the ship and will not fall off easily.

The cockpit have a printed monitor and the cockpit is just right to fit him in.

Separatist Speeder
This speeder somehow do resemble a bit of Count Dooku speeder that you get from his Solar Sailer. Again you need stickers to add a little touch up to make this speeder looks nice.

STAP
The design is same like the one from AT-TE but I'm not really sure whether the two wings are the same color with the one in AT-TE. quite lazy to check mine.

Putting everything aside for awhile, below are two pictures that I take for fun since I already took them out for review.
