A good set soured by false advertising

I have been collecting Lego Star wars since 2008. I own the 2010 ARC-170. I think in many ways, this model is an improvement, with sleeker lines, an improved wing mechanism, and a full complement of pilots.
However, it is baffling to me how Lego can no longer print in white, when they were perfectly capable of doing so when they previously made this ship in 2010.

The stickers for the canopies are abysmal. No two ways about about it. These were printed in 2010, and were matched very well with the white bricks. Lego hasn't printed like that in half a decade. But that's fine, these are stickers now, right? If only. The stickers are transparent with a white print on top of them. Once applied to the transparent canopy, these become a depressingly mismatched shade of grey.
Adding insult to injury, they lie to you about it. The astute observer might have already noticed the box art and online images appear to have the pristine white canopy stickers. This is sorely mismatched with reality. You can see the reality if you move over to the image with the child holding the fighter, but you have to go there looking for it. Not only is the best not good enough, they'll lie to you and try to make you think it still is.
3 stars for a pleasing build and wonderful figures. -1 star for bad printing and stickers. -1 more fore lying about it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Be careful with the stickers!

Messed up one of the cockpit stickers and now it has air bubbles trapped in it. Mixed with the translucent stickers, it just looks bad. I got the technique down for the other two cockpits, stick one end, and keep a lot of tension on the sticker as you slowly and steadily roll it over

Throughly Disappointed
on January 11, 2025

As a huge Star Wars Fan, and importantly a Prequel and Clone Wars fan, the ARC-170 is a great addition to the Clone Wars line up, especially after 15 years. I am very disappointed however. The sticker quality is horrible. Clear backed stickers are quite possibly the worst design choice the designers could have made. The white does not match the brick color. This discrepancy also proves false advertising as the product shown on the box does not match the actual product. It’s a shame a Lego ARC-170 20 years ago could do this right but not in 2025. The downscale also reduces the accuracy of the model as the coloration of the wings is almost 50/50 between red and white when it should be around 75% white and 25% red. The cannons are also horrible. The bottom wing mounted cannon needs to be longer and taking out the top wing mounted cannon takes away from accuracy as-well. I’m all for adding spring loaded shooters but not when the build is compromised. Adding the shooters to the bottom of the model like previous sets would have been way more sufficient in keeping accuracy and playability. Looking at the ARC-170 for play this a great set, but not for the price. Although less than the 2010 model when adjusted for inflation, as a consumer, what I am getting for my money is not worth the price. I will say the LEGO minifigures included are great and I want to give credit there. It’s a shame that quality has not increased in the 26 years that Lego Star Wars has been around. Do better Lego.

Although this set has received criticism for being down sized compared to the other ARC-170 star fighters, I really think this is a genuinely good set. The build experience is amazing, the minifigures are even better I would say. The only down side is the cockpit parts don’t have printed elements. But overall, this set is magnificent, and I would recommend this set if you have kids who enjoy Star Wars, or if you’re an adult who wants the nostalgia :-)
