So glad that the Clone Wars are coming back because the Arc-170 is my favorite ship ever! And I missed the sets release. Im not paying over $200 for this either though, and thats the cheapest price I have found
I ended up finding the wreckage of one in a box a while ago, the old girl is now fully rebuilt with an extra pilot and custom intakes. I would definitely love to get a second one.
This is one of my favorite sets to date! Such nostalgic memories... I remember turning that gear thinking the S-foils would open almost immediately, I thought it was broken when it wouldn't open that fast! Great review Jang!
Here's version 2 as promised, and you can see my review of the original 2005 rendition at ua-cam.com/video/C0sRsYzMhdI/v-deo.html Comparison video to follow.
Man lego needs to make another ARC-170 ,its bean 12 years and lego has only released 2....2005 and 2010,they should atleast release one every 5 years!!!
This set was my absolute favourite set when I was nine. The Guns on the wings were easy to knock off and if I had to say something bad about this set, it would be how poorly squishable it is for small hands. Kit Fisto's lightsaber can be stuffed under one of the halo panels on the sides of the cockpits. This set also gave me a lot of wing-parts when its time had come and I took it apart. Great memories. Thanks for reviving them and keep up the good work, Jang!
Just bought this set i really like it so far its a great play set my younger brother loves it i built a stand for it it looks amazing on display. all in all great set!!!
5:25 If u didn't knew that is bombs not rockets. That's why the nose is so big. Second , nose helps to bomb it better to when it hits the nose it's going down like real bombs :)
+Dylan Murphy It is a stage, it's not on the ground. Why is the one word such a point of contention though. Who cares what it's called, the guy was simply commenting kindly that he liked it :)
I just got this set in the mail yesterday and proceeded to build it. I finished it and I have to say I am impressed at how well this thing came together. The 2005 one felt like things were being forced to be put together. This one feels like everything comes together naturally. The angles are much more smooth and the wings are so much more durable and better for play. The blue rubber bands can be replaced with the old gray ones of the same profile (as far as I know, there are no other good colors for those bands in that profile other than old light gray). The wings will actually fold open higher (and lower) than the 2005 version. The biggest improvement are the minifigs and the front hull of the ship. The minifigs are great and more special in my opinion, and the front part of the ship is more durable and looks smoother. That's all for my comments
I have the 2010 one and it still stands as one of my favorite Star Wars Lego sets ever. I absolutely love the lines of the ARC-170 starfighter and I think Lego really hits it well on this one!
I actually found a place for Fisto's saber. When all the minifigures are out of the fighter. You can see that there is a deep hole below/behind the place where the R4 unit normally stands. You can put the lightsaber there. Then you put R4-P44 in his position, and make sure that the end of the saber is between one of R4's legs and his middle body part. When you did it right, the saber is firmly in the ship without a chance of falling out, and you can barely see it, except when paying very much attention to the ship. Now you should be able to play and move around with the ship without having to keep the saber out of the ship.
I stumbled upon this beauty just yesterday, in a hock shop, sealed and for half the price I would've paid on bricklink. I couldn't resist, and was glad I didn't. Great pieces and minifigures, even by 2019 standards. It takes up a lot of space for it's meagre 396 parts, and looks great overall. Sticker sheet hadn't degraded in any discernible way. I did have a problem applying decals though. What I noticed is that Lego these days print their decals to a slightly smaller dimension than the intended brick, resulting in an easier application to the surface. I mention this because kit 8088's stickers were almost flush with the edges, and hence a nightmare to apply :/ Another improvement since 8088 is Lego's better representation of black pieces in the instruction book. Back then, the only black pieces outlined in white were Technics pins. Every other black piece was described with a black outline. The first time the instructions directed me to a black piece, I spent about ten minutes really looking for a dark grey piece, and wondering if there had been a packing error down at the Lego factory. Anyhow, glad to add this to my collection. And good review, once again, thanks!
This looks like a straight upgrade to the 2005 version. The overall build looks very similar but every problem seems to have been solved, especially the wing mechanism.
Finally a review of the 2010 ARC 170. Great review Jang! Those flick firing missiles should be placed on the wings or wing tips. I love how the model looks with the S-spoils in attack position. But those gears near the body of the craft need some covering! Maybe in the next version? Mine ARC 170 is still packed on a container, but I might take it out for a spin. : ) Looking forward to your comparison video!
I got his set for Christmas in 2010 I think but sadly due to younger siblings it got broker apart :( but I did get a rogue one y-wing at the beginning of this year :D
They built this to replace the very outdated Z-95 they created around 20 years before the Clone Wars. The ACR-170 was made as a fighter bomber, but wasn't as good a bomber as the Y-wing FB was.
I understand the need for s-foils on the x wing as it had lasers on the tips of all four wings, meaning when in attack mode it could spread fire more but on the ARC 170 I don't see the point of s-foils.
I really wish Lego wouldn't make sets based on story but rather lore. What I mean by that is instead of adding a character from a main plot point from a movie or show (In this case the Jedi) have a third pilot. I jus like the standard stuff in the universe, what armies use......not reenacting story. If that makes any sense.
My most favorite fighter, I personally like it better than the X-wing because i thought the Arc-170 is a more tougher looking version or like the older brother of the X-wing
I had this same set I remember coming home after being snowed in at a cadet camp and I built it and was happy about it only thing I don't like about it was the wing set up would of done it better but none the less it was a good set
hey Jang, I think this is a great improvement on the 1st set lego did however there are things on the 1st set that could have come over to this build, I love the minifigs in this set, I am happy to still have one of these sets MISB,
I really wish that they would make a new one, cause I was never able to pick it up and now it's like 100 dollars. I just hope they maybe release a new varient someday
I think another version is due! Anyone agree?
YASSS!
It Definitley is, mabye a Rebel vershion with Rouge One?
+Degly Spiderfang no the republic has headhunters and arc 170/better y wings. the rebels have a,b,x,and y wings. learn it's place
YYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!
Tyler Huffer yep another one is needed this is my favourite ship
We're long overdue for a new ARC-170. It's been almost 8 years!
9 years now.
So glad that the Clone Wars are coming back because the Arc-170 is my favorite ship ever! And I missed the sets release.
Im not paying over $200 for this either though, and thats the cheapest price I have found
I ended up finding the wreckage of one in a box a while ago, the old girl is now fully rebuilt with an extra pilot and custom intakes. I would definitely love to get a second one.
fun fact: Captain Jagh was the one who shot down Plo Koon's star Fighter over Cato Neimoida.
I know, so sad.
Oh geez
R.I.P Plo Koon
He was shot down by Captain Jag too much
legoman716 I know
This is one of my favorite sets to date! Such nostalgic memories... I remember turning that gear thinking the S-foils would open almost immediately, I thought it was broken when it wouldn't open that fast! Great review Jang!
Here's version 2 as promised, and you can see my review of the original 2005 rendition at ua-cam.com/video/C0sRsYzMhdI/v-deo.html Comparison video to follow.
i love u jang always stay lego my dude
Hey finally did it! :D
Hey jang could you review the star wars turbo tank both versions or the dropship and at-ot please
jang do more star wars Lego seen as the new film is coming out
+Rouge Blaster ya, those sets r awesome!!!!
absolutly love the ARC-170
Man lego needs to make another ARC-170 ,its bean 12 years and lego has only released 2....2005 and 2010,they should atleast release one every 5 years!!!
Like the X-Wing. I think Lego only releases 1 new design for the X-Wing every 3 or 4 years.
This set was my absolute favourite set when I was nine.
The Guns on the wings were easy to knock off and if I had to say something bad about this set, it would be how poorly squishable it is for small hands. Kit Fisto's lightsaber can be stuffed under one of the halo panels on the sides of the cockpits.
This set also gave me a lot of wing-parts when its time had come and I took it apart.
Great memories. Thanks for reviving them and keep up the good work, Jang!

New review platform? Looks glowy and as if it's floating!
Love it!
What are you talking obout? There is no "stage", it's on the ground.
+Dylan Murphy It is a stage, it's not on the ground. Why is the one word such a point of contention though. Who cares what it's called, the guy was simply commenting kindly that he liked it :)
+JANGBRiCKS ;)
We need a remake of this set!!! It looks a lot cooler than the V-19 Torrent in my opinion.
I like how they used translucent pink for the engines in this but not for the x-wing 2 years later.
They should make a new version of this set. Because its 8 years later....
I have this!!! It is very awsome! And yes I agree you do have to turn that cog a LOT.
I just got this set in the mail yesterday and proceeded to build it. I finished it and I have to say I am impressed at how well this thing came together.

Kit Fisto is my favorite Jedi, he was also the first Star Wars action figure I ever got
I have the 2010 one and it still stands as one of my favorite Star Wars Lego sets ever. I absolutely love the lines of the ARC-170 starfighter and I think Lego really hits it well on this one!
We need a new one of this along with a invisible hand
Kit Fisto needs to be in another set.He was one of my favorite figs back in the day.
he was in the set where in the movie he gets butchered by sidious sorry for spelling error lol.
I know about the palpatine's arrest set. However, Kit Fisto has been produce a lot less than other Jedi.
+Emery JAcobowitz he was also in the set that comes with obiwans star fighter and the hyperspace ring
but that was several years ago
A UCS version of this would be cool.
Ah yes the genius
6 years and we haven't had another one this was my favourite ship
I'm hopelessly hoping LEGO will produce another one. This is such a good set.
you shouldn't put Kit Fisto in the middle seat. his tentacles might get snagged on that exposed gear and drag him into the engine!
I actually found a place for Fisto's saber. When all the minifigures are out of the fighter. You can see that there is a deep hole below/behind the place where the R4 unit normally stands. You can put the lightsaber there. Then you put R4-P44 in his position, and make sure that the end of the saber is between one of R4's legs and his middle body part.

Now you should be able to play and move around with the ship without having to keep the saber out of the ship.
I wish they make a new one this year
Those flickfire missiles don't have to go so far cause ARC-170 is actually a bomber.
its really weird on how building techniques has changed over time
T00n Ma5t3r and variety of pieces I remember how 2002 ships where more blocky
I love this starfighter! It was my first big Lego Star Wars set. It just looks so good.
I stumbled upon this beauty just yesterday, in a hock shop, sealed and for half the price I would've paid on bricklink. I couldn't resist, and was glad I didn't. Great pieces and minifigures, even by 2019 standards. It takes up a lot of space for it's meagre 396 parts, and looks great overall.

Anyhow, glad to add this to my collection. And good review, once again, thanks!
I really like this set, one of my favourites in my collection as it has three really good minifigs and is a fun build, great review as usual JANG
Can't get enough of the videos! Awesome! Thank you.
So what happened to that comparison video?
They haven’t released one of those in seven years!! We need another!!
This looks like a straight upgrade to the 2005 version. The overall build looks very similar but every problem seems to have been solved, especially the wing mechanism.
I had the 2005 one from my cousin, it was all broken and I remember restoring it all by myself!
wow im loving the channel reboot with the new art and title sequence along side the info bar its cool
I was looking for a good quality review of this ship, thanks jang!
7:01 You expecting Angry Clone, but it was me! Clone Pilot!
i love you jang
I used to be able to build this set from memory
I love the ARC 170. We need an updated version!
Kit Fisto! My dude 😎
Thi is my favourite Star Wars starship, I love this set :)
Finally a review of the 2010 ARC 170. Great review Jang! Those flick firing missiles should be placed on the wings or wing tips. I love how the model looks with the S-spoils in attack position. But those gears near the body of the craft need some covering! Maybe in the next version? Mine ARC 170 is still packed on a container, but I might take it out for a spin. : ) Looking forward to your comparison video!
Wow. Just saw the Palpatine's Arrest set. That looks really cool and worth a review. awesome video, keep up the good work!
I got his set for Christmas in 2010 I think but sadly due to younger siblings it got broker apart :( but I did get a rogue one y-wing at the beginning of this year :D
Jetfire that is so relatable
Omg same 😩
I can't wait till they make a new one. Now that they're finally redoing Obi Wan's starfighter I can finally set up the whole scene
I remember having this also Kit Fisto is my favorite Jedi
They built this to replace the very outdated Z-95 they created around 20 years before the Clone Wars. The ACR-170 was made as a fighter bomber, but wasn't as good a bomber as the Y-wing FB was.
I wanted this so much when I was a kid
Wow, this is my third lego set. I was.. what? 6 years old?
Mustafa Malik hey I got it when I was 6 to!!
That was my 5th and I was 7!!!!
I starwars battlefront I was 6 when I got this
I got the plo koon star fighter and the tri fighter
I understand the need for s-foils on the x wing as it had lasers on the tips of all four wings, meaning when in attack mode it could spread fire more but on the ARC 170 I don't see the point of s-foils.
Aesthetic. Or in the Star Wars universe... Blaesthetic.
I know, it's bad. But that's the point.
something to do with extending the range of the deflector shield blah
gorgeous build but dang is it fragile
I remember this set! I loved it and still do!
But why would fisto be on an arc-170 anyway?...I feel Lego have just randomly added a Jedi for the sake of adding a Jedi
+John Smith Fisto is so awesome he can be in whatever set he wants. :P
he is my favorite jedi but i think that is idiot to pu him in this set
NYEH HEH HEH lol, fair enough...
Jang, the quality of your videos is getting better and better! Btw been here since your first StarWars review :D
+TR-8R THE STORMTROOPER THAT SAYS TRAITOR! wow tr-8r didn't know you watch jang?
All my life
nice
+TR-8R THE STORMTROOPER THAT SAYS TRAITOR! but you're dead now
I bought this back in 2010! Rebuilding it as I type this.
I cant find the comparison video :(
The ARC-170 starfighter, when wings facing upwards, looks like a X-wing.
finally a star wars lego
video
I loved this one I use to play with it alot! I didn't like the cockpit as much but we need a new one asap!
I really wish Lego wouldn't make sets based on story but rather lore. What I mean by that is instead of adding a character from a main plot point from a movie or show (In this case the Jedi) have a third pilot. I jus like the standard stuff in the universe, what armies use......not reenacting story. If that makes any sense.
Really great love your star wars series
Kit Fisto's head looks like it could be an alien on it's own.
I thought the front was for the pilot
It is
I remember getting this for my birthday
The pilots' faces look like they were also used for the snowspeeder pilots in the Episode V Hoth sets.
They were
I like that Lego set. It is awesome!
Captain Jag? More like Captain Jang!
*I'll see myself out...*
Very beautiful.
My most favorite fighter, I personally like it better than the X-wing because i thought the Arc-170 is a more tougher looking version or like the older brother of the X-wing
Lego really needs to do a UCS version of this.
I have this set on my shelf, sweet
I liked the longer nose on the 2005 version.
Thumbs up for this set!
Great review, love people who know what they are talking about. Such a great set. I want Kit Fisto fig so bad haha.
Golden Brick Productions it’s a really good fig I recommend it
Oh the memories...
I had this same set I remember coming home after being snowed in at a cadet camp and I built it and was happy about it only thing I don't like about it was the wing set up would of done it better but none the less it was a good set
I remember when I built it i forgot the the major technic piece and the wings wouldn't move
Great Lego Starfighter review.
hey Jang, I think this is a great improvement on the 1st set lego did however there are things on the 1st set that could have come over to this build, I love the minifigs in this set, I am happy to still have one of these sets MISB,
They should make a new version with Plo Koon from the Order 66 scene.
The tail guns are assembled wrong. The stick is supposed to fit in the opposite end. Aside from that, great review as always!
Love seeing these SW reviews, especially ones of the older models. Any plans to review the Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship?
I like the other one in all but the front.
I like it if the visor was part of the helmet
I really wish that they would make a new one, cause I was never able to pick it up and now it's like 100 dollars. I just hope they maybe release a new varient someday
4:35 Clutch Power!!!!
I actually bought this set once, but it never came in the mail.
I remember getting this set
So in the last 9 years we've gotten 5 minifig scale or UCS X wings and 0 of these, if this isn't Original trilogy bias I don't know what it
Hey, do you know if you're going to begin on a Halo Mega Bloks layout sometime?
Yes! I would like to see that :)
I use to have this set when I was little but it got destroyed by my younger cousins
my first set was the republic gunship from 2008
OMG thie was my 2nd lego set ever first being the lego atlanis shark but his vid makes me want to rebuild it so much!
I like the 2005 version better but this clone pilots look good
I know right, I hope that they release a new one in the future
I am going to buy this off my friend. And then be kicking myself when they make a new one...
