Nearly Perfect, but a Must-Buy

As someone who never owned the 2008 Torrent, I was excited for this set to be released. In my opinion, this set trumps the 2008 version in every way, except for the functionality of folding the wings up and down.
The minifigures included are amazing; a new helmet mold and torso print for the clone pilot, new torso, leg, and arm printing for Obi Wan, and a new Asajj Ventress for the first time in 12 years, also with leg printing. Including arm printing for Ventress is the only improvement that could have been made as far as figures go.
The build itself is great, but not perfect due to a few minor cons. I am a fan of the smaller builds, as they are often more detailed, sturdy, and offer more room for display. This build checks all 3 of those boxes. The sloping of the cockpit looks sleek, the wings and engines are a perfect blend of sturdy and slim, and the middle fin looks great, even from both sides. The few downsides to this build are minor, but make enough of a difference that I can't rate it as 5 stars. First, is the strange sloping on the red accent at the front of the starfighter. A red 3x2 sloped piece would have looked less "chunky/blocky" and made the model look sleeker. Second, is the lack of detailing for the undersides of the wings. The "underside" of the tail got a few reverse tiles to help detail it, and it would've been nice to get a few for the wings as well. The last is the unreliability of the "clipping" play feature for the fin. You can shake the model to have the fin fall or raise into position, but it doesn't always clip just into place when going from the landed to flight position. Adjusting the underside to include a 2x1 clip block like the back may have allowed for a more reliable feature.
Overall, I'm very happy with this model. It looks great on display, I'm sure kids will enjoy its "swooshability", and the inclusion of 3 minifigures. I do hope Lego will reuse the pilot helmet mold again so that it is not exclusive to this set. I think this set is a must buy, as its great on display and for play, and when compared to the rest of the August 2025 wave, is reasonably priced.
I would recommend this to a friend!

ITS ABOUT TIME

This has definitely been a long awaited set and Lego pretty much delivered. The build is a little chubby but not bad. Does not have landing gear but I just made my own. And Lego where has that pilot been all this time! I hope to see the pilot in more sets in the future. Obi wan is a beautiful figure. Lego you didn’t disappoint on this set.
The minifigures sold this for me... The build is fun and a decent price...compared to other sets in this wave...I feel pretty pleased with the set and price value

Solid Build

Verified Purchase:No
I like this set a lot. The price is mehhhh. However, I think these are some of the best minifigures that have come out in the last 1-2 years. The details on the asajj ventress make it one of the most accurate ones yet. I love the arm printing on the Obi-wan along with his legs. I just wish they were dual molded. If asajj and obi-wan's legs were dual molded, I believe that this set would have been priced really well. Also, we finally have a real molded phase 1 clone pilot helmet, and I love the design of it. Also, this set is build really well and sturdy, unlike the new "turbo tank". The V-19 is super fun to fly around, and doesn't crumble like the "turbo tank". Overall, great set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best In the Summer Wave

Verified Purchase:No
Figs are great, the clone pilot is accurate, obi wan and ventress have great printing, and the overall quality of the set is great. The build was fun and it turned out bigger than I expected. The price per piece is not great but I think the minifigs make up for it. Overall, it’s a nice set.

Second Best V-19
on August 11, 2025
Posted by: EarlBrightChocolate103
Verified Purchase:No
This set is quite small and is a bit dissapointing. It looks fantastic overall, and I love the building process. The function is nice, but this set is just way too small. Downsizing really hits some sets, and this is one of them. The minifigures are near perfect and are some of the best this wave. Love the selection and love the build. The price would be fine if the model was simply larger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My campaign against abusing lego

Verified Purchase:No
Listen, everyone is giving this set flack, and yes, it is overpriced, yes, it doesn't have landing gear, yes the printing on the clone is inaccurate, but guys think, we have a new v-19, it has an assaj ventures from season one that we have never seen before, and it finally has a really good obi wan, and im not saying the pilot is good, but would you rather have that pilot, or the ones we had before, this one is so much better, and we have a realistically scaled v-19, and it has a yellow cockpit, honestly, its the cleanest set all year, but the other ones are super under appreciated as well
I would recommend this to a friend!

This new V19 is one of the best sets in the August wave that have good figs and good value. I missed the clone wars v-19 from the early 2000's, so finally getting this set makes me very happy.
