Overall I give the 2025 Lego StarWars Arc-170 a 8.5/10. The price point isnt too bad considering that the early interations, with inflation the 2005 ($39.99) would be ~$65.34 and the 2012 ($59.99) would be about ~$83.37. the fig selection is great.

Now for the ship. While smaller than the first two iterations, it is much sturdier. Wing sag doesnt exist like the early versions have as well. The play features that are included are spring loaded missiles on each wing, opening cockpits and the S-foil winglets that lock into position (Vid Below)

First up the figs! Going left to right we have R4-P44, a Clone Pilot, Captain Jag and Odd Ball. The updated prints on the figs are great. Although they couldve done with dual molded legs, but overall really good figs. Lego even made a new print of the newer clone head with that orange visor.

For now Ill post this pic of a set I got and will do a review for it by the end of the week. Spoiler: it was by far my most stressful build yet!

Overall not a bad set, while $45 is a bit high, I personally think ~$30-35 dollars would've been ok, it would've been closer to the price point of the 2022 Obi-Wans Starfighter. The set itself is very sturdy and swooshable. The minifigs are great, just wish R7 had back printing.
Overall Score 8/10
