" Rule the spaceways!

The sleek V-wing fighter can adapt to any situation! Position the wings and flaps in attack mode to protect Palpatine's shuttle from enemies. Or position the wings in flight mode to survey the area for intruders! Either way, the V-wing is ready to strike for the Republic.

* Includes Clone pilot and R4 droid.
* Position wings in attack or flight mode!"

Yes, the "2006" V-Wing Fighter. Includes the all-famous ARC-170 pilot.

This set is one of the five new Star Wars sets I found in my local TRU. I decided to get one for the sake of reviewing it.

It takes less than fifteen minutes to build this simply designed ship. THe front is a bit "flat", I shall say; and the wings don't turn as they do in landing mode.

Pros:
-Good source of dark red and bley parts
-An easy build for most people
-Good for army building.
-Good piece for price ratio.

Cons
-Clearly underdetailed.
-As I said, a bit flat
-No landing gear
-Missing droid body

I bought this ship also for the fun of it. It has a good swoosh factor. The ship has no landing gear, simply replaced by two 2x2x1 inverted slopes.

Overall, I give this ship a 7/10. Great for people that want to get parts quickly under a certain price.

This is the first unofficial pictures of 6205 I think I've seen...and I must say, it's not very unattractive. I thought it was a pretty cool set, and was planning to get at least one, despite it's bley. I thought it might be a set I'd want to keep made for a while...

...not anymore. The underside is pretty ugly, as is the back. I don't think I'll get it, unless on sale now.

Dark red is cool, though.

Thanks Dyip,

Despite the ugliness of the ship, I still found redeeming features such as the windshield design and the bley plates. I might get this one for its parts.

I'm getting it because it's cheap, it's star wars, and I'm a friggin junkie who's going through withdrawal.

ABS withdrawal, that is.
