(Unconfirmed)<\/p>\n<div>A cool set from the die cast line. The pilot figure has a hole in it&#8217;s abdomen to secure it to a peg in the cockpit. The microfigs to not have any articulation. I&#8217;d have preferred a different color elite. However, that isn&#8217;t the focal point of the set for me. It&#8217;s the Banshee itself. No assembly required, it&#8217;s ready to go right out of the box. The Die Cast figure is sure to be a collectible in the future, so don&#8217;t lose them!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0This set is plague with the one thing that made the full blok set near perfect. That being the cockpit cover. It isn&#8217;t game accurate. However, the die cast is accurate to it&#8217;s larger brother, so no points off there. I give this set a\u00a0<strong>9 medals out of 10<\/strong>. I had an issue with putting the clear larger peg into the base. When I used one of the other pieces it worked fine. Just be careful putting those in.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Here&#8217;s the gallery of pics!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
