Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Darth Vader (buildable figure) — General Grievous is the better buildable figure; it's bigger (worth the extra $5 price premium over the $30 Darth Vader), more menacing, and more interesting to build and display. Reviewer initially thought Darth Vader was the best but changed opinion after building Grievous.

Commander Cody (buildable figure) — General Grievous is the best buildable figure of the wave; much bigger and more impressive than Commander Cody, which the reviewer previously thought was their favorite.

Ultimate Collector Series General Grievous (2006-2007) — This buildable figure is so much cooler than the previous LEGO UCS General Grievous set.

75109 Obi-Wan Kenobi 78 — Scales very well together; can be displayed in variety of action poses; makes for a spectacular dueling display
