This set is the first version of the General Grievous Starfighter set. It's my only set which I got with a General Grievous minifig so far. The only problem with this minifig is that it doesn't have the awesome details which we get in the 2010 version of this set. Grievous' spaceship is very sturdy and easily built. The box is the same size as the one which we got for the 2007 AT-ST set, but there was a big difference in the price.
The playabilities of this set are very good. You're able to slide this cockpit open and to sviwel the lasers on the sides. The fin on the back does swivel as well. If you open the cockpit you can fit in Grievous very easily, but you have to move his arms in a good position if this minifig should fit in there. The cockpit has no dashboard and no other controls, which disappointed me. This set also comes with a handle where you can put Grievous' 4 lightsabers or his blaster. If you want to get this one, I would recommend you to pick this one up.
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
