Lego continue their 30th anniversary releases with this fantastic updated version on the Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Vulture Droid.
Originally released in the 1999-2000 run, this kit gives two models which are far superior to their predecessors.
The N-1 measures a good 36cm long with decals to provide detailing over the correct scale body. There is a firing missile in the lower hull which is launched with a trigger mechanism. The missile launcher is the same type that's in the Slave 1 kit from last year.
There is a droid compartment for an astromech unit, R2-D2 comes with the kit, and the bottom of the compartment opens to allow egress.
There is a landing plaform with ladder for the N-1.
The Vulture Droid is well constructed with loads of articulation that allow for the wings to be split open for flight, to launch the missiles inside (to be flicked with your fingers to fire), but best of all, to transform into the walking version. The head is very manoeuvreable to allow for loads of poses. It's 14 cm long in fighter mode and 14-16 cm high in droid mode depending on where you pose the head.
You get three figures with the kit, Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2 and a Naboo Pilot. You also get a pilot's flight helmet with moveable goggoles too. Due to Anakin's legs being the type that are given to small characters, he cannot sit in the N-1.
Construction time is about 30 minutes and this kit is a must have for any Star Wars Lego collection.
