LEGO 9526 Star wars - Palpatines Arrest

Product Information

The first figure is Mace Windu. We have gotten him a few time in the past, but this one is a new Episode 3 redesign. Very cool. He's pretty simple, and the funny thing about him is that none of his parts are new. The torso belongs to TCW Mace and then the head is from Seso in the Prince of Persia line. There's no problem with this though, if anything it makes it possible for anyone to make a Mace Windu if they have all of those existing parts. There are also three places to attach the doors and the landing pad. This is pretty nice, as it allows you to arrange the set however you like. But I like to do it the simple way, with the landing pad and the doors attached to each other and then attached to the middle segment of the office. And that is it for this review.

The set itself is split up into several sections. There's the main office area, the doors, and landing pad, and the small ship. Some sections of this set are better than others, but it does look nice when it's all connected together. We're going to look at the ship first. And then we have Palpatine! He's pretty cool. Not my favorite figure of the set, but still cool. While it's nice to finally have a movie version of Palpatine, I do wish that he would have had a normal face. But this face suits the scene more so it's understandable. His torso's pretty cool (it's in a dark red color) and he has the same hair as the TCW one. It would have been nice to get a new hairpiece, but I don't really mind the one he has now. Also, one of the most notable things about him is that he has a new gold lightsaber hilt! I believe it's been used in the Ninjago line too, but this is the first time it's been used for Star Wars!The Chancellor Palpatine figure in-game has all standard minifigure body parts except for the leg piece which is replaced by a triangular LEGO slope piece. His face is flesh-colored, along with his hands. He wears a blondish-white hairpiece. He has a dark grey body piece and dark grey arm pieces, and dark grey legs. Here he is compared to his TCW counterpart. While I loved TCW one, this one is better by far. Their head pieces and torsos are the same, but the main difference between them is the heads and the fact that they have different arm and hand colors. You can also open up the doors and have minifigures walk through them. The problem with this, though, is that if you slide them to far to the side they come out. So they're really just loosely in there. Still, they look nice. You can connect the landing pad to the doors, and then you can also connect the doors to the office. But, for now, here's the three small sections of the set conjoined together.

Aayla Secura \ Agen Kolar \ Ahsoka Tano \ Anakin Skywalker \ Barriss Offee \ Bene \ Coleman Trebor \ Eeth Koth \ Even Piell \ Ezra Bridger \ Ithorian Jedi Master ♦ \ Jedi Consular \ Jedi Knight (Episode II) ♦ \ Jedi Knight (The Old Republic) \ Kai Brightstar \ Kanan Jarrus \ Ki-Adi-Mundi \ Kit Fisto \ Luke Skywalker \ Luminara Unduli \ Lys Solay \ Mace Windu \ Nahdar Vebb \ Obi-Wan Kenobi \ Plo Koon \ Qui-Gon Jinn \ Quinlan Vos \ Rey \ Saesee Tiin \ Satele Shan \ Shaak Ti \ Stass Allie \ Yoda The next section of the set is the landing pad. To me, it's kind of... plain. Not in a good way, though. It's very flat a small, but I guess if you put more baseplates around it it would look better. It also has technic pins at the edge, which allows you to connect it to other parts of the set. The next fig we have is Agen Kolar. This guy's actually the only figure that's completely brand new. He's never been made before. I must say that he looks great. He also reuses Eeth Koth's hairpiece, so let's take a look at the two next to each other. Here's the ship on the landing pad. As you can see, it takes up the whole pad. But, like I said, you can always just set it all down on a big grey baseplate.

Specifications

For the set 75093 Death Star Final Duel a slightly altered version of the 2014 minifigure was included. He retains the same torso, leg piece, cape and hood, but comes with an alternate expression exclusive to this set. The figures are pretty similar, but they are distinguishable from each other. While I love the Eeth Koth figure, I think Agen Kolar is better. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine wears a dark red senatorial robe with intricate patterns printed on the torso. Palatine has a double-sided face, one featuring a scowling expression and blonde eyebrows, and the other side depicting Palpatine with a heavily wrinkled face, with large, yellow eyes and yellow teeth. Palpatine wields a gold-hilted lightsaber and has no cape or hood. He was released in the 2012 summer wave in 9526 Palpatine's Arrest. As you can see here, there's a good amount of open space where you can have the minfigures duel each other.

Palpatine has appeared in all four LEGO Star Wars video games. In the first and third, he appears as Chancellor Palpatine, a video game exclusive Minifigure, and in all three games, he appears as Darth Sidious or the Emperor.And then we have the big part of the set. It's a nice office for the Chancellor, but there's also some play features scattered throughout it to help reenact the duel that took place there in Episode 3. The next figure is Kit Fisto. He's actually the only figure that is not new in this set, but he's still alright. He has a cape like all the other jedi and then he also has a green lightsaber.
