This version of the V-Wing is still surprisingly great! There have been updated versions since 2006, but I still feel completely satisfied with this one. The clone pilot might not be super accurate to the film, but LEGO was only working with the one mold for phase 2 clone helmets at the time, and the design they came up with works just fine.

I love all the dark red pieces, and the whole ship uses a lot of skinny plates, but it manages to feel sturdy, which is always appreciated! It's odd to see a Star Wars set that completely forgoes play features like missiles or stud shooters, but I can't say I miss them. It feels like a better model without a clunky shooter stuck onto it somewhere.

I only have 2 small gripes with the build. One is that the wings don't rotate sideways for a rested position like the later versions do, and they're too firmly attached to the ship to easily remove them without taking other pieces with you. But they don't cause a problem in practice because they still fold in far enough that you can set the V-Wing down on its landing gears without any issues. The other nitpick is that the cockpit leaves several noticeable gaps between the windscreen, the floor, and the back wall. They don't ruin the set by any stretch, you'd have to hold it and look pretty closely to notice most of them. But with it being a spaceship, it seems like that might cause some issues for our pilot!

Overall, I absolutely love this V-Wing. It still holds up, even after new versions have come to replace it. Plus, it's stayed cheap enough on Bricklink that I think it's easily worth buying today if you're looking for something to add to your clone army.

I received this set for my birthday when I was little and thought it was the coolest thing ever. It is very simple and stays together easily. The minifigure is cool and the R4 droid is exclusive to this set(I think). The color scheme is cool as well. The one complaint that I have to direct towards it is that it is not very accurate to the movie. The wings are supposed to fold and rotate, instead they just fold downward. The new Imperial V-wing is more accurate, but is much more expensive for what you get.

So...

Pros

-Great value

-sturdy and simple

-cool minifigure and droid

-good color scheme

Cons

-Inaccurate to the movie

-sometimes overly simple

I am currently collecting several of these along with Arc-170 fighters to build a Republic navy. I would recommend this set to almost anyone who wants a cheap and economic LEGO spaceship.

Set #6205 V-Wing Fighter: This fun little addition to the LEGO Star Wars collection is a must have item and here's why...

This set alone doesn't do much, but with two of them and the ARC-170 Starfighter you can build up a very impressive looking space battle display. (I have yet to aquire an ARC-170, but I do have two V-Wings to act as wingmen when I do.)

Building this set takes very little time and involves some interesting step-by-step construction. Once complete you have a fairly interesting looking little Star Wars Vehicle in LEGO form. This set was released before they started including the Flick-Fire Missiles however so there isn't much to play with here, except when using your imagination, but the ship is definitely fun looking and looks good in any Star Wars LEGO display.

The Mini-Figure included with this set is one Clone Pilot, but even though you're only getting one Mini-Figure with this set the Mini-Figure is a great addition. There is also the top half of an Astromech droid, unfortunatley LEGO chose not to include a bonus torso part for the top, it is the only flaw in an otherwise good set.

Overall I'd strongly recommend picking up this set and if you can get a few of them, they enhance any LEGO Star Wars space battle display. LEGO is re-issueing this set in 2011 with an Imperial design, looks like I'll have more V-Wings soon for my collection. And the best part is, LEGO can be displayed any way you want, Imperials vs. Clones here we go!

This was too my first set and this set is so awesome. I like the details of the V-wing and the cool minfig that comes with it. I got this set for 10 dollars when they were still around.

Pros:

• Good price
• Minfigs
• nice color
• Cool ship

Cons:

• None

Overall this is an awesome set and if you like lego star wars I will highly recommend this set. You can find this set on ebay or Amazon or Bricklink.

Keep Up The Great Work Lego :)

It was worth way more than the 10$ Its very big and comes with a sweet and rare mini fig.
A cool printed piece comes with this.It also come with a Astro droid head.Get this even if its above 14.99$
