Some time after christmas 2009 my mum ordered the Arc 170 as a birthday gift (as my birthday was on the 3rd of January). It has finally arrived (it snowed this week and travel is hard) and I was so happy. Anyway, on to the review.

Basicly, all I can say about this set is.........WOW! The set is cool and I was looking forward to get it.
Arc 170:
Although I did not own the old one , I have seen pictures and they are very similar to each other. The front is new and I think it is more to do with CLONE WARS rarther then Episode 3. The only con is the...the..the...(gulp!)....STICKER SHEET OF DOOM! (Mwhahahah) (screams!)Anyway, the sticker were just plain anoying, though you need to apply them. But other than that the rear turred is nice, the missiles are great and its fun to play with.
Minifigures:
There are three "ecsclusive to this set" minifigures. The clone pilot will be in another set this year (palpatines shuttle) so thats why he isnt ecsculsive to this set. Here's a list of the minifigs:
Captain Jag
Kit Fisto (new design)
Clone Pilot (new design)
R4-P44
Overal, great set and I would seriously concider buying it!
Will D over and out!
