Hey everyone, after a long hiatus away from bricking, I am back again with an over due post. Presenting the LEPIN 05048 Star Plan Tie Striker, which was featured in a popular movie. As with my other kits, I got this from the guys at Brixit. You can also find them on Carousell.
The box is of an average size, not very big but definitely on the slimmer side. Comes with the usual box art, nothing too exciting to shout about. The parts inside are in numbered packets BUT the manual does not mention which part comes from which numbered packet so you still have to scan through each packet to find the right part...which kinda defeats the purpose of numbering packets. Maybe I am missing something on how to find the right parts...If so, please drop me a comment about it.
The construction as expected from LEPIN is very good, the clutch is great. The colours are a little iffy when compared to the manual because black parts are shown as really dark grey in the manual so you have to actually remind yourself about the colour difference.
The striker body is pretty compact with not much detailing. However its very secure and no loose parts popping off.
The real stand out feature were its wings. Really big and though they look flimsy, the finished product is pretty secure and should easy stand up some playtime.
The other wing snapping together.
The wings snapped on and looking pretty good. It also takes up quite a bit of space because of its wings so keep that in mind.
A closer look at the striker body with the detailing on it. Nothing too exciting but keeping in mind the price tag, pretty respectable.
The set comes with 4 mini figures. Pretty basic stuff. But face it, you did not buy the kit for its mini figs right?
One last view of the striker before it flies off into the galaxy. Was a quick fun build definitely and sci-fi fans will love to have this in their collection.
