Hello Eurobrickers, today I will be reviewing set 75041. I only just managed to get the last one in the shop, the people that work there didn't even get the time to put them all on the shelves, as most people just took them out of the trolley without waiting. So since it seems to be so popular, I wanted to do a little review for you all. Set Name: Volture Droid Set #: 75041 Theme: Star Wars Pieces: 205 Mini-figures: 3 (Pilot Battle Droid, Neimoidian Warrior and the Buzz Droid) I don't consider the last one a mini-figure myself though. Year of Release: Winter 2013-2014 Price: 24.99 (It was on a 10% discount) I will add some pictures with comments and give my final thoughts at the end of the review. Enjoy! First of all the box, we all know how that looks of course. One instruction manual, two bags and one sheet of stickers. Instructions manual. Part out of the set. There are some nice pieces here, specially the dark blue. Showing of the mini-figures. The Neimoidian Warrior looks very good, nice detail on front and back of torso, also very nice leg printing. The armor shows some wearing 2. I forgot to take a picture of the Buzz Droid, but you can see it in other shots. I thought I would give a good viewing of the new springshooter. They are better than the old springshooter, but I still don't like them. I prefer not to have any springloaded things sticking out my model and flying all over the places. But as I sais for those that do like them, they are an improvement. Some pictures of the finished model. Cockpit? I Don't know what that is doing there... Here you can see the thickness of the body, for those wondering with the adding of a cockpit. Extra pieces Final Thoughts and score: Functions: 7.5/10 Two springloaded missiles, hidden below the main body. Turning legs, and moveable head. The turning points of the legs are solid, the springloaded missiles are worked well inside the body. What I don't like is the head, its comes down way to far, due to the cockpit. Parts: 8/10 Some good parts in here. As I said, some nice dark blue parts, the neimoidian helmet is nice too, new brown color. You also get a nice black part (first one for me) that kind of looks like the new blasters. (You can see it on the "part out" picture, it is to the right of the Dark Bleu 1x4 bars) Price: 8/10 24.99 for 205 parts is okay I think, since it's Star Wars and I don't think its that mush overpriced. Accuracy: 6.5/10 The design is good, but personally I think the main body is too big, this is of course due 2 the adding of a cockpit that doesn't need to be there in the first place. Also the moving of the head is not very good, as it can only move to the front, but can't look left or right. Overall: 7.5/10 It's a great set and would be a nice addition to your CIS Army, specially the Neimoidian warrior. The design of the fighter is very sturdy and the new springshooters are an improvement, if your into that. The Buzz Droid is still a strange looking, way too big thing imo. Also, I don't like the applying of stickers... But I think it is a great set both for playing and displaying, although I think I am going to modify the head a little. I hope you guys enjoyed my first review.
