TL;DR This is your set to get, if you really want the "new" General Grievous, even on the used market.

The Figures

The Minifig selection in this one is pretty good, because you can perfectly recreate the movie scene, this set is meant to recreate. I really like the addition of the electro staff, so you can really do anything, that happens in that scene.

Obi Wan looks very crisp, and the addition of printed legs is a very welcome one. General Grievous is a really cool and unique figure that a lot of people really want in their collection, however, it bugs me a little, that the whites of the legs and the printed parts don't match. It's a small thing, but lego could've probably printed the white on in multiple layers to counteract this. General Grievous himself is quite fragile, so you really have to be careful to not break his arms (replacements don't come cheaply). This set is in my opinion the best way to pick up General Grievous for your collection by far to date.

The Build

Although the bike is a lot larger, than it actually should be (kinda not really achievable without using some seriously illegal techniques, and making more fragile), it is a huge improvement over the 2005 version. It has all the angular and aggressive lines of the original and is instantly recognisable as such. I really like the way, they built the actual wheel around the transparent Lego motorcycle wheel piece. That being said, the build is just plainly repetitive and therefore not really that enjoyable, although rolling the wheel segments onto the transparent wheel is pretty satisfying. The whole build sadly is also a bit fragile in some places. It is very easy to knock off one of the side panels of the legs or break the wheel, because one of the segments didn't stay in place. Not really a problem for me, but a kid wanting to actually play with this, might find that rather annoying.

The value on the used market

(! Disclaimer: I've rated the set based on its retail price in Germany, but this section is about specifically about the used market at the day of writing this!)

So this definitely still is the best way to pick up a General Grievous figure, if you need one. You can get the whole set with all Minifigs on your preferred "used items sales site" at about the price, you would pay for a used General Grievous figure on Bricklink. This set still is a great value option and is an absolute no-brainer in my opinion.
