Description

The villain behind the droid army

Grievous leads the Separatist forces during the Clone Wars and is feared for collecting the lightsabers of the Jedi he defeats. In Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi tracks him down on Utapau, where the general fights with several blades at once before the duel turns against him. The character is also a major figure in The Clone Wars series. His skeletal, half-mechanical look is unlike any other prequel villain, which is what makes him such a striking subject for a large model.

Bone white against black

Black leads the colour list, followed by dark bluish grey, white and light bluish grey. That mirrors the character's design, with pale armour plates over a dark mechanical frame. The strong contrast is helpful at the building table, as white and black pieces are easy to tell apart at a glance. The two greys are trickier, so sorting them into separate trays before you begin will save you some squinting later on.

A pure display piece

There are no minifigures in this set, and the focus stays firmly on the model itself. That is typical of the Ultimate Collector Series, which is aimed at collectors who want an impressive piece for a shelf or cabinet. Grievous works best standing on his own, where his tall, gaunt frame can be seen from every side. Among a collection dominated by spaceships and walkers, he makes an unusual centrepiece that draws attention.

What the parts can become

The 1,085 pieces come from 167 unique part types, a moderate spread for a model of this size. Once dismantled, the inventory leaves plenty of black and grey elements that suit robots, mechs and other technical builds. The complete parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity. For ideas beyond that, the ‘What can I build?’ tool compares these parts with your collection and suggests sets you could complete with little extra effort.
