Box

The shuttle do make a few appearance in the Clone Wars series and I think this shuttle is not bad just a bit pricey. I gotten this US version from Bricklink and it got pieces count printed on the front.The top side of the box shows all four minifigs in the actual scale while the back shows the playability of the shuttle.

Content

There are five bags of bricks in the box and each bag assemble a different part for the shuttle. Comes with the bricks are the instruction book and a sticker sheet. There is not much stickers to apply on the shuttle and I think is a good thing.

Accessories

Since the set comes with Jedi only, we get only four lightsabers (three blue and one yellow). the amount i just right for each of them. Nothing more and nothing less.

Minifigs

For those that started collection in year 2008 will probably hate Obi-Wan and Anakin. Those two are the old minifigs back in 2008 and the good thing here is Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin. Saesee Tiin minifigs have unique headgear and got their torso printed on both side.

The cape thing really is a bother as Shaak Ti headgear is in the way. To prevent the cape from being damaged, I ended up not applying it.

Jedi T-6 Shuttle

The only thing that were different here is the cockpit. The body of the shuttle look alike with the real thing. As usual, we start from pictures that were taken from different angle.

The cockpit able to fit two minifigs and there is a printed piece inside the cockpit. The cockpit is small and to fit two new minifigs in it, it was rather hard and you need to place them in a right pose. It will be easier if you place Obi-Wan and Anakin in it.

The cockpit has one playability which is detachable cockpit. Perhaps they made it as an escape pod just in case the ship were to explode. Another good thing here is that the windscreen is a printed part.

There is a landing gear install under the shuttle to balance the shuttle when you want to display it and it only apply to the landing position display.

Next is the rotatable wing. The wing fits very tight and is very useful when you are about to display it especially in the landing position. There is no way to display it in flying position, so you might want to hang it on the ceiling.

Last but not least, the push-fire function cannot recall how this thing fly, but if the wing were to keep on rotating when it fly, the chances of the missiles to hit the wing are very high. So all you have to do to fire the missiles is just to push the translucent blue part behind the ship.

Extra pieces

These were the pieces that were leftover after the assembly process.

Completed model

The amount of bricks is the same with the Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship and it is more expensive. Perhaps the price is more expensive due to the big piece of parts, new headgear and the printed windscreen. I still think is wiser to get the minifigs alone for local collectors.

Playability: 6/10 Detachable cockpit, push-fire missiles, rotatable wings, and landing gear.

Building experience: 5/10 Quite a number of process are wasted on the wing, bricks stacking.

Parts: 7/10 You get that rare big technic part and the printed windscreen.

Value for money: 3/10 The price is not good at all over here.

Overall: 5/10 Nice minifigs and quite a nice shuttle. But ugly price tag.
