The ARC-170 comes with 95 pieces and costs $9.99. It is part of the Series 2 Microfighters lineup and the finished build measures over 8X9X5cm. Included in this set is 1 minifigure; an ARC-170 Pilot that comes with a blaster pistol. His helmet mould looks really good and there are nice details all over it. Also, he has the same torso as the last minifigure but has bolder colours which is nice. Finally, he has a double-sided face with 2 expressions. The microfighter, to me, looks really good. The wings look really like they did in the film and, although they're small, I really appreciate the flaps to signify the fold-out bits of the wings. Underneath each of these wings are blaster cannons that don't fire but, to make up for this, LEGO have added two flick-fire missiles under each wing. The intakes you might think are stickers but they're actually printed tiles which is always good. There's also some nice cockpit detail and shapes on the front and engine detail on the back. Finally, there is a seat for the minifigure in the centre who is really out of scale in proportion to the ARC. However, this is how LEGO have designed the Microfighters so, in that sense, it's really good. In conclusion, I really like this fighter and it is really recognisable as the ARC. I also think the minifigure is great and the value is great. One of my favourite of the series.
