Revealed after the player had completed The Quest For R2-D2 game as each of the four characters – Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Asajj Ventress and Count Dooku – were four sets of instructions that allowed for the 749-piece midi-scale model of the Malevolence to be assembled. The casual builder should note that the maroon 4 x 6 tiles with studs on the edges with the two white 2 x 6 plates underneath are just for positioning the elements that make up the forward structure. These can be replaced with pieces of any other color – which will come as a relief for anyone who knows how brittle +10-year-old maroon plates can get. Box Front. Very nice detail. I like how they show you the length and the side view of the ship at 23.6in. That's almost 2 feet long! I didn't think the Battle Droid Commander was new.

It’s like an evil, monstrous version of the Rebel transport, with a lot of jagged edges on the body panels. I wanted it to be intimidating and sleek, like a mega-mouth shark.” Source: Russell Chong via The Nexus Route Might I suggest using the "view on youtube" button. While lighting may not be perfect, I finally got it so 1080i is really HQ pictures. :) I hope you like the build process. The table that I have to build my sets on is rather limited and makes it hard to photograph.Initially designed by concept artist Erik Tiemens and modified by development artist Atsushi Takeuchi as General Grievous’s flagship for Revenge of the Sith, the original concept art had it looking more like the Nautilus from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. It was dropped in favor of the smaller Invisible Hand, which served as Grievous’s personal cruiser at the Battle of Coruscant. Perhaps one way to determine its place in the LEGO Star Wars community is the fact that so few fans and collectors have made this model. Despite the effort LEGO put into The Quest For R2-D2 marketing campaign, the likelihood that only a dozen or so midi-scale Malevolence models were ever constructed is a reasonable assumption. Includes 6 minifigures: Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, General Grievous, Count Dooku, Battle Droid Commander and Battle Droid Just a small battle scene with the lead characters. You have to be a Jedi to think you can go up against a cyborg with 4 lightsabers! This front shot reminds me of old anime ship called the Space Battleship Yamato. At the bow of the ship, it had a huge cannon called a Wave motion gun.. Maybe the Malevolence was built with this ship in mind. But instead of a Wave motion gun, the Malevolence carried a Ion Cannon. Which instead of disintegrating the enemy ships, it disables them so the ships could be recycled for parts and booty.

I'm not to happy of the grey canards that jut out of the front sides. For the most part, it is symmetrical in shape. But there are a few greebels that make the left and right sides a bit different.Designed by Erik Varzegi, one of the designers in the model building workshop at the LEGO offices in Enfield CT, the gestalt Malevolence was a LEGO Star Wars promotion that has never been repeated. Here you can see both the left and right sides opened up. The top folds up and the smaller flap folds down. now you have room to slide the railcars a bit. Just a tiny bit. Keep in mind this ship is supposed to be almost 3 miles long. So the railcars was needed to move fast around the ship. Lots of extra parts. Or did I forget something. Augh! Droids without hands. Just kidding. They have their hands. Box Rear. You can see how much of the ship can be changed into a play set for the minifigs. And I love the multiple profiles of the ship. This was a nice ship design. It reminds me of a modern ship. Long and skinny. Also, just a hint of Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus.
